Question, is the Nikon D5300 best dslr to buy for around £500 or less?

Excellent choice! Have you got a lens for it? Or did it come with one?

Edit:- This might be useful.

It was body only. Picked up the lens you recommended above. Thanks for the link. Went through Tony & Chelsea Northrup D7200 overview video so this should be a good compliment to it.

Fantastic lens, excellent price as well as it was more expensive when I bought it, but it's been worth every penny.

You wont regret it, it's a fantastic crop body and gives you access to a lot of older af-D lenses that don't work on the d5xxx cameras.
