I actually am on a limited budget and ran across a D5100. I put the rest of my money into glass, especially some good prime lenses. I wanted to thank-you for your excellent content on Youtube. I have become quite a fan and I am learning a ton from you. I just wanted to say "thanks!"

[TonyAndChelsea]

Mario Mosin Yes, it would be a big improvement for you. Also consider a used D7100, which you can get for $900 to $950.

Hey man thanks for this video... I ended up getting the d3300 and the rokinon lens you mentioned in the video. Im pretty impressed with everything

[nishitpatel]

Thanks a lot for this video, I was really confused between D3300 and D5300. This video helped a lot and I finally bought D3300. Its my first DSLR and I am really excited.

My school just bought the D5300. I'm quite excited to shoot with it tomorrow at a football game, since it's low light performance is a lot better than my 10-year-old 20D.

I have a D3400 and have managed to tether it to laptop, windows notebook and desktop. With a cheap remote trigger this gives me all the advantages of both wifi and a swivelling screen. The windows software was free and I had the other kit anyway. Thanks Tony for giving me the idea of tethering in one of your other videos.

[Zeppolino]

Thanks Mr. Northrup for this excellent video analysis.  As an artist who uses photography in his print work, you convinced me that the 5300 is the right choice for me (the bracketing especially). This was my own independent evaluation, but your confirmation is gratifying.  Many thanks!

These videos by Tony and Chelsea are the best I have seen on the web. Thank you both!

I know this video is a few years old, but just looked at it as I was researching current kit lenses for D5600/D5500 for my brother. I thought I'd add my perspective on the 18-140mm lens. In 2014 I owned a D3100 with the kit 18-55. In August of that year I was planning a couple week trip to North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Having been there previously in 2010 with a small Nikon point & shoot & an Olympus Ultra Zoom, I knew I wanted something a bit longer than 55mm. So I picked up a used 55-105 locally. That and my D3100 did a wonderful job for me on that trip. Between then and December 2016 I acquired a D5500. I planned another trip for December '16 and once again I really only wanted to carry my D5500 with one lens attached. I travel far and wide on the Island and like to travel light, and photography is important but not my main gig while there. The 18-140 did exactly what I wanted. Actually if anything, I wished I had a wider lens, not longer, for some landscape pics, BUT since I am using crop sensor cameras I have learned to do some quite good panoramas to stich when I get back home. Bottom line, if you're planning travel and want to go light, but have a decent lens on your camera for most everyday purposes, the 18-140 wins hands down. Of course if you are looking to take serious photographs you'd be packing more gear anyways.

I bought a D3300 not too long ago and I love it! I would call myself an amateur photographer at best and I want to get better. I also bought a 35mm which I also like. My question is when is it that I should upgrade? The photography I'm trying to do is night photography and a lot of wide angle exposures around the city at night. I was thinking about getting the Rokinon 14mm soon. However, as for a new camera, I was thinking about buying a D7100? Recommendations or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

[neilhaupt]

Great video! Very informative.
I was wondering if you had any experience with Nikon's 35mm f/1.8 lens.
I've been looking at that as an alternative to the 18-55mm kit lens.

[jeffreeves]

Simply put thank you.  Not only for helping me realize that family photography is so much more than just a camera, but the levels of possibilities can be much higher than point and shoot.  Thank you very much.

[SThompsonRAMM]

Tony, I just found your video and I can't thank you for your expertise in photography. I am excited to see more of your videos. You are a great speaker and I find your videos so educational as well as excitingly entertaining.

[hugh]

Great video ...and GREAT family you have! So do all of the same principles apply to the two Fuji kits ...18-55 vs 18-135?

[StefanoV]

Chelsea looks like Angelina Jolie!

Really good job with the comparison review Tony!

Tony, I am in Trinidad W.I and your videos have been most helpful and I am only now up the good work kind Sir!

By the way, for anyone who may read this. Always go for the better option, the $200 won't be missed in the long run. I would & do recommend the D5300 with the 18-140mm kit lens which I bought over a year ago from a locally owned store (small chain), Crutchfield that has lifetime support for any items bought through them. Camera experts that know more than the employees at big box stores like Best Buy etc. I believe in buying a camera and never getting rid of it even though may buy newer ones at some point. Still have film cameras, multiple digital and no reason to sell as they don't bring what they are still worth to me. My reasoning on these things may show my age (almost 60). If go someplace that runs good chance vehicle could be broken into, don't want to leave my best stuff in there. Couple of cameras back takes excellent photos and while I would be upset at losing, it is not $4000 down the drain.
