thoughts on the nikon D5500?

I am still stuck between deciding what camera to get. I know people say the lens will be more important but I can get a lens whenever, the body is what has all the features and power. Im now really liking the Nikon D5500 and D5300

I am looking to get my first DSLR camera, these are the two ive narrowed it down to in my price range. Can anyone help me with comparing which of the two would be a better fit for their values? Nikon D3400 W/ AF-P DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR $540 CND Nikon D5200 W/ AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR $529 CND I know the lens on the D3400 may be better but I can always upgrade lenses in the future and I am liking the features on the D5200. Please advise and thanks in advance!

these are also CND prices

Thank you for all the input. Ive gotten used to the nikon 3000's line but I havent gotten around to play with the 5000's series yet. I am really liking the D5200 for both the features and price. Similarily in price (the canon SL1) although the specs may be a bit better on the Nikon, the SL1 has touchscreen.. is that an important feature? I dont find the menu hard to navigate on the Nikons but it is 2017 and touchscreen is almost on everything nowadays which may make eveything easier when using the camera? But the D5200 has the articulated sceen and I really like that feature. In all honesty If I could afford it, the D5600 would be my 1st choice but for me its just what fits in my budget and what is the best I can get within it. Ive looked on amazon and here are my options within my budget that ive collected: Canon EOS Rebel SL1 DSLR w/ 18-55mm STM lens $549 Nikon D5200 DSLR w/ 18-55mm zoom lens $529 Nikon D5200 AF-S DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II kit $619 Nikon D3400 AF-P DX NIkkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 VR kit $540 Can anyone help with which of these would be the best bang for my buck (all are brand new). Or even suggest something else?

Hi, I am looking to buy my first DLSR camera and I think ive narrowed it down within my price range.. I am liking the Nikon D5200/D3300 but also the Canon SL1 + T6 but I am unsure what would be a better bang for my buck. Also which would be easier to use and get the hang of quicker. I am going away travelling this summer and I will be taking various general tourists pics. Can anyone recommend one over the other? They will all be with the basic kit lens that they come with. Thanks in advance !
