re: Camera Recommendations

In the interest of being able to use the lenses she currently has for the D50, I was considering a used D5200 or D5300 body. I believe those both use the same lenses she has, yes? I found a site called MBP that sells used equipment. I know nothing about them, but a quick search yielded good reviews. Does anyone know about them??

Anyway, a used D5200 is around $230 and a used D5300 is about $380. Both are listed as ‘Excellent’ condition….whatever that means. She’s not a hard core photographer by any means. She’d probably shoot wildlife and landscapes, maybe the whales jumping when we go to Maui. I’m sure sunset would come into play with that as well. Anyone have any input about a choice between those two bodies? Anyone see any issue with buying used?

I know it’s all very subjective, but would you say that’s going in the right direction? 

Thanks for the input, and the PMs with added info! Just don’t want to toss money if it’s not a better value.
