HI Friends,

I am new in photography, I am going to buy my first DSLR camera.

I have shortlisted D5300 and D5500.

I am from India, here it has almost 10K difference between both cameras.

I want to know about spending 10K only for touchscreen? is worth? Touch screen, is that much helpful?

and also suggest best kit, 18-55 | 18-55 + 35 | 18-55 + 55-200 | 18-140

Thanks in advance Have a great day

In addition to the touchscreen, the 5500 also has a bigger buffer. Other than that, they're almost identical.

The best kit lenses are the af-s 18-55 vr II and its 55-200mm counterpart. The VR II versions of these lenses are noticeably better than the earlier versions, and the current sale price of $150 for the 55-200 is a steal.

There are newer AF-P versions of these kit lenses with faster, quieter autofocus, but they have an annoying new "feature" where you must go into the shooting menu to turn VR on and off (as opposed to a physical switch on the lenses).
