Recently my Nikon D80 had a Full Service and unsure if to keep it as second camera. The reason for this is I want to add or replace my camera with a Nikon D90 or a Nikon D5200. To purchase a Nikon D90 I would not have to replace any of the extras and lenses. To purchase a Nikon D5200 I would have to replace all the extras but of course excluding the lenses, however, the plus side with the Nikon D5200 is that it has a varied-angle LCD which is ideal for me due to being unable to bend down. It has other pluses like HD, improved camera settings and many others. I hate to say this for a man of my age but I am unable to reach a conclusion so can someone make my mind up for me? Thank you Charles Nicholas

Is like asking to rob a bank. I would say yes if one would get away with it. In basic terms, you know what you would like and you know your product. So go with you instincts instead of asking. Unless a person comes on here with more knowledge than you on your product.

Well I too am a man of a certain age and I wouldn't consider a DSLR without the incredibly useful vari-angle articulated rear screen - if this helps your decision any.

I would agree with Tom. As somewhat grey headed myself, I would not consider any camera without a vari-angle rear screen,  but I would add - AND a fixed view finder on top as well. I find my Panasonic Lumix GH2 suits me fine on these features.
