Nikon D3300 or D5100????

[cspuneetabrol]

I am looking forward to buy a dslr this comingcfestive season..... I have shortlisted these two models??.... Suggest me which one to buy and why??

Its a difficult one it seems ...D3300 is 2 gen ahead in sensor and other things ....if you would have taken D5200 into consideration then I would have selected that ...D5100 have articulated screen, some nice modes and better grip etc.

But Nikon D3300's price is higher than D5100's price..... Why so???..

 

[sujoyp]

because D3300 is a new model...I think launched this year...D5300 cost almost 45k but D5200 cost 32k I say drop D3300 idea and get D5200

D3300 is 26k on ebay BTW

Good choice.... always buy what you think is best and you won't be disappointed with it . This coming from a D3300 user

[MENTION=132251]prashant[/MENTION] u got it too quickly , I wouldnt have let that happen comming from a 3 yr D3100 user ....anyways I know u are a good photographer and when I look back I see most of my good shots from D3100 itself

@ cspuneetabrol D5200 is really good

From price PoV maybe you are right. But I am a pixel peeper and IQ and low light performance wise D3300 > D5200 We had discussed this few months again a thread I created too. I know D5200 is a better camera overall. But my heart didn't allow it.
