It does have a touch screen, a first for a Nikon DSLR, but they pulled the GPS;~(

Perhaps they pulled the GPS because the battery drain of combined touch screen and GPS was too great? Touch screen may be worthwhile, if it works reliably without a rubber tipped stylus. I find my iPhone a real pain at times. Apple have been making them for a while now and even they can't perfect it. Does the touch screen know the difference between my nose and my finger? I frequently find myself inadvertently changing settings on my D3100 while taking photographs. Never happens on the D200 because of the placement of the buttons.

The touch screen is there because of the equivalent Canon model having it and it is something that new amateurs want as it is like their phone! For me it is a wasted gimmick. It is good as this means the D5300 will become much cheaper. I fancy one but I cant useit with my older lenses so in that way a D7100 is better. So maybe a D7100 or D5300 as my DX camera as replacement for the D300.

I'm looking at the D5300 to replace the D5100. The older lens thing is a pain as it is only a firmware thing that Nikon won't improve. You can install a chip so the light meter will work on the A seting.

The touch screen is nice but losing the GPS makes it a no-go for me. I'm watching for a deal on a D5300.

Perhaps Nikon think they gave us the new D400 but called it Df. Some liked it I do not know why!
