[QUOTE="aroy, post: 321767, member: 16090"] There are few more things to a body, than the sensor. A basic camera with same sensor and processor will have the same image quality, thus D3300 and D5300 image quality is same for all practical purpose. The D3200 and D5200 are a generation older because they have a low pass filter, the sharpness is a bit less. What you pay for in a higher priced camera are the conveniences. Some which come to my mind are : - More AF points - More wheels and buttons, so that you need not go through as lot of menu options every time you want to change settings - At times better rear LCD screen with more resolution and in case of the D5xxx series, swivel rear screen - Motor in the body, so that you can use the older "D" lenses - More rugged construction - Tougher shutter, with more shutter actuation life - Second LCD screen to display salient data - Second card slot, so that you have more capacity and/or redundant storage - Ability to meter older non CPU lenses - Live view in tethered mode (D3xxx do have it) So if you want a light no frills camera capable of sharp images and fast video, a D3300 is the best option. It is light, cheap and the battery lasts a long time. If you want other conveniences, then go for a more expensive body. [/QUOTE]
