This is an amazing camera with great features and functions, yet another milestone by Nikon after the very successful and famous Young brother D5100! Buy it! you’ll never ask for more! it completes almost all the needs to a beginner Photographer and young Enthusiasts! Only thing that makes it step down is absence of an Autofocus motor!
But if you are a new and picking this one as your first DSLR? Trust me you wont even feel the difference! And Touchscreen would have been a great feature, as its competitor Canon Model already has one! but an articulated screen always helps and makes creativity go at another level!:)
