[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 496599, member: 16749"] My advice would be that unless you really think you need some of the features offered by higher models, to go with the D3300. One thing that digital has changed about cameras is that they now become obsolete much faster. If I were still shooting film, I'd be perfectly content to keep using my 1972-vintage F2, and would not feel any need or desire to replace it with a newer model. Back then, a good, high-end camera was a good investment, that you could expect to fully enjoy for many, many years. Today, with digital, no matter how good a camera is, no matter how expensive it is, there is going to be something substantially better in not very many years. You can spend thousands of dollars for a high-end Nikon DSLR, but before you know it, it will be obsolete, and you'll be wanting to replace it with the newer model. If you have $1000 to $1500 to spend on a camera, you could spend it on a D7200, with just a single “kit lens”, or you could buy a D3300, with its “kit lens”, and have quite a bit left over to buy more lenses and accessories, most of which you'll very likely be able to continue to use with whatever camera you next buy when you decide that your D3300 is obsolete enough to warrant replacement.
