the sales guy recommend the D5300
He would recommend it cause he probably wants rid of it as the 5300 has been overtaken buy the d5500
but its still a very good mid range entry level if you understand the phrase.
The D3300 would be classed as a basic entry level DSLR
The D5300, now superseded by the d5500, would be a mid range entry level dslr ( I have a d5100)
The D7200 would be classed as a range toping entry level dslr.
I go with the 5300 but look at what deal there is , as there normally is with the that entry levels. the d5500 there may be cash back from nikon plus some other thing thrown in.
The D3x00 and D5x00 lines are basically exactly the same thing.
This is true for almost everything nowadays be it camera, computer, cars/tractors anything thats built on a line. For example take your standard German car if you opt for a basic then you get just that but the car would come of the factory floor wired for all the extras so if for example you didn't get rear electric windows or cruise control the wiring is in there for it they have just put a blank piece of plastic over where the buttons should be.
