Hello all! I own a D80 and a few basic lens I use mostly for a hobby, and the occasional newborn or senior photo shoot. I love my D80 but as I am progressing in my photography I would really like to upgrade and get a camera that's more up to date. I've been looking at the D5200 and the D5300. I really like the fact that they have an articulating screen, and the option of shooting video is a big plus because I have a newborn of my own and I would love to be able to get some good video of her firsts. Because of the cold winter I've been stuck inside dealing with a lot of low light situations, which my recently purchased 50mm 1.8 has been beautiful for. I'm on a budget but if I could get a decent advantage with the D5300 I don't mind paying the difference for it. The wifi and gps would be cool but honestly I don't think it would ever get used. I tried to find some info about the expeed 3 and 4 processors but I didn't really find a big difference. Also the slightly larger screen isn't a big deal to me either, the D5200 will already be a huge improvement over my D80. Is the D5300 worth the extra money for a guy like me? or will the D5200 be more than enough.
