Nikon D3200 Vs. Nikon D5200

I'm thinking manual would be easier. As i recall the bracketing thing is a bit buried in the menu

Nope, not at all. The fast menu is always up so long as you're not in live view. Click the "i" button, and you can select items in that menu. Just select "bracketing" and set it to the bracketing you want (or set it to off), and you're good to go. It's a lot quicker than manually getting the exposures down. Once you've done your three-shot cycle, it resets and continues until you set it to off (just to clarify that the D5200 does it that way).

Not a feature I ever use to be honest. Strangely enough I never use the articulating screen either - I changed the orientation once when I put the plastic screen protector on it and flipped the screen out so it was visible, hasn't moved since, lol.

that's like the best feature of the D5x00 series!

Lol.. I know.. and I still haven't found a single use for it. I'm a viewfinder guy I guess. I don't really use a tripod and I never shoot video.

Agreed. To me that's the reason to have (or not have) a D5x00 camera.
