Guys, finally I have decided to get myself a dSLR. Now which one in the budget is a headache. I'd like suggestions from you guys, and what better than in the photography thread itself? Earlier I was looking at the Canon EOS 600D and then the 700D, but while trying to make a final decision, I'm now confused as Nikon's offerings appear to give a better bang for the buck. Here I'm talking about the D5200 and D5300. The 600D and the D5200 with 18-55mm kit lens are available around 33-34K on FK, while 700D and D5300 with the same 18-55mm kit lens are available at 42-46K. Comparing both, the 600D and 700D and the D5200 and D5300 there doesn't seem to be much of a difference, in both brands' newest offering, barring a few things, like touch screen in 700D vs none in other three, onboard GPS and WiFi in D5300 vs none in any of the three.
The deciding factor for me were the marginally larger sensors on the Nikon cameras, more AutoFocus points, and better image quality, a number of camera comparision sites say, Nikon ones have. Though, since the beginning I have been inclined towards Canon, but these advantages of Nikon's cameras are swaying me away from Canon's offerings.
I would like suggestions from you guys as to which one I should go for? I'll be buying from FK, in around a month's time. As far as photography is concerned, I haven't done much except close-ups of flowers and plants I grow in my garden, as cellphone cameras don't give you much room for other kind of photography, or atleast that I feel. Though, occasionally, I do take shots of sunsets and other things, but having been restricted by cellphone cameras, I never had much of an opportunity to explore other areas. As far as lenses are concerned, for now, I'll settle down with the general purpose kit lens, and might look for something else when I feel the need for them, as for now, my priority would be to get hold of the dozens of manual controls and options dSLR's offer (as I'm moving to dSLR straight from Cellphone cameras).
In case you still haven't got the idea of my budget, I'll prefer keeping it below 40K, though, can try stretching it for D5300, to about 45-46K, given I see the benefits. GPS and WiFi are not at all mandatory, as these are anyways going to drain away precious battery life.

Get D5200. Spend the extra on lens or flash

Just to add to your confusion .. you also have an option of going for the mirrorless variety of camera's. As for canon vs nikon, that's a centuries old debate and as per me you'll be fine with whichever you choose. I would suggest that you go for the 5200 and then spend the rest of the cash on another lens.

I can't comment on the canon offerings but take it from a D5200 owner, that camera is a beauty. Controls simplified image quality real good and feels sturdy in the hand.Guys, finally I have decided to get myself a dSLR. Now which one in the budget is a headache.

When buying from Flipkart make sure to check warranty issues. As Nikon has repeatedly saying Flipkart is not an authorised dealer. I got mine from Flipkart and I have warranty, but the Service center guys said there were cases when some cameras bought from Flipkart did not have their serial numbers in Nikon system and they were not covered under warranty.
If you decide to go with Nikon go with 5200 and not 5300. Invest the extra cash in a prime/teleporto lens according to your photo habits and a good tripod

Didn't they introduced a new 5000 series DSLR with touch screen panel?

Thanks Prashant, Amlan, Sujoy, Nomad47. Thanks for your suggestions guys. For now, I'm staying away from mirrorless ones, not even considering them, not because I have something against those, but because I don't know almost anything about those. As for the lens suggestions, for now, I'll get myself the cam, and a tripod. Let's think about the lenses sometime later.

I shot the moon today, the ISO is quite high so that I could shoot with a non stabilized lens at a good shutter speed
