+ you wouldn't get new 2 zooms, a prime and a camera combo cheaper than this
+ has in body image stabilization
+ EVF rather than optical viewfinder in Nikon. Some prefer optical, I don't
- Sony A-mount is discontinued as far as I know, it's E-mount mirror-less now. However, there are quite a few Sony and third party lenses. And even primes become stabilized because it's in body!
- 5300 is more recent, things move fast and all that, has higher sensor resolution
- I personally prefer Nikon ergonomics
- A58 is quite cheaply built and plasticky. Probably the only DSLR with plastic lens mount
