OK, we are new to the land of DSLRs and I seriously spent 4 hours researching them and the difference between full frame and non full frame. For our use and the price I was confident the Nikon D5300 (non full frame) would be perfect for what we wanted. Almost went with Cannon but the features on the D5300 swayed me. HOWEVER, I made one mistake, I paid extra to receive the AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED Lens which is MUCH different from a AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G VR Lens. VR stand for Vibration Reduction. The ED 70-300 lens that comes in this bundle is not a VR and you will quickly realize you would never willingly buy a NON VR lens for this camera. Now the other lens that comes with the camera is a VR: AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Lens, which is excellent and what you want. So, even though I love my camera and we are having a blast and getting lots of exercise looking for the perfect gator and bird shots, I feel a bit deceived and like the seller took advantage of my lack of knowledge. If I were to do it over again, I would buy the camera with the 18-55mm lens and buy the 70-300 VR lens separate, which is the lens I need to buy now that I know better.
