Hello guys

I am about to buy my first DSLR and i have two options, i can buy a D3300 with a 50mm and the kit lens or a d5300  with just a kit lens. Both i have found to be about the same price, my main debate is whether I should go ahead and start my lens collection since it will be my first DSLR or whether i Should get a nicer body to start off with. I think that the only differences are the WiFi the af points and mic.

 

Will i even notice the differences between the auto focus systems as a first time dslr user?

Start your lens collection, a lens in theory will last you your life, a body wont, and if you have little experience with DSLRs frankly a d3300 will be MORE then enough if you are learning. I used a Nikon d40 a very barebones entry level camera for many years (long after it was no longer sold) and it producced things like these

and a d3300 will easily outclass a d40 in the right hands.

I would go for the D3300 with 50mm.

D3300 and D5300 doesn't give that much of a different compare to a kit lens and a 50mm does.

 

I know I am not explaining in details but if you do have question you can let me know and I am happy to answer it.
