That is the notional price (almost) of a smartphone. The network providers say that a smartphone costs £500-700. Actually, like cars, the real production cost are around 1/10 of this amount so the rest is profit. Best not get me started on car prices. Selfies, like Twitter, etc, is all about self promotion! Since I dont believe in that rubbish it seems that I am in a minority! One very good stistic though is that 80% of popular decisions are wrong or incorrect, so I am happy to be in the 20% who are unpopularly correct >80% of the time.

I must side with Eric and JK selfies (totally kids stuff ) and not needed by intelligent life forms. Besides my selfie would scare me to heart failure. That other guy the ugly one I see in the mirror every am, that's enough to gag a maggot and I wouldn't send his pic to anyone Ed If you want to extend the aging process, just send it through Congress Will Rogers

Eric wrote: Not sure I would buy an £800 camera ....and use it for 'selfies'.  Am I the only one in the world who abhors that word and the whole idea of photographing your own face ?  Eric, I have heard of this term and I am not altogether clear what it means?

I too don't like "selfies" stupid word. Another thing the D300 had is the AF button on the back. Now I know you can program the AE button to do that job but then you can't use it as a AE button anymore.

Eric wrote A "selfie" is simpally a picture you take of yourself, nowdays usually with cell phone or a tablet phone. Not a new idea, lots of artists painted self portraits, and some are worth millions today (Van Gogh). Not a frequent vice of mine but I have sinned.

[user=45]amazing50 A "selfie" is simpally a picture you take of yourself, nowdays usually with cell phone or a tablet phone. Thanks for the clarification Mike, not a feature I am ever likely to use, my 'phone seems to have an amazing range of feature I will never use! LOL Recently my computer started playing at being a 'phone and would 'ring' whenever the 'phone did. I don't have a microphone on my computer so I can't answer a call with it. Also I seemed unable to answer the call on my 'phone while the computer was ringing. Eventually I put a stop to it's shenanigans! I found the appropriate preference and un-checked it.

The D5500 has been anounced but it doesn't look like much more than the D5300 it is replacing. Will have to wate for detailed specs to make any decisions.
