Great photo quality, Compact and lightweight, Simple and easy to use
Some images indoors came out slightly dark, Doesn't have a premium look and feel
The Nikon D5300 is a good DSLR. It's compact, lightweight and its battery will last.Although some photos looked dark and it lacks a premium look and feel. If those aren't deal breakers, we would highly recommend this camera...
The D5300 is perfect if you want to upgrade from an older entry-level model, or don't mind spending a bit more on your first D-SLR. It's packed with modern features and offers great image quality along with an impressive low-light performance. The key add...
Very good image quality from the 24mp CMOS sensor, no optical low pass filter makes for sharper images with a bit more resolution, Impressive 39 point AF system with 9 cross type sensors, Builtin WiFi and GPS, 3.2″ LCD screen with a meaty 1.04M dots ver
No depth of field preview, Won't autofocus screw drive lenses (non AFS), Limited flash capabilities, no Auto FP (High speed sync), no native support of wireless flash (CLS) with built in flash, Live view and movie AF could be quicker, cannot see real pr
Very good 24MP stills, Superior 1080/60p videos, Built-in Wi-Fi, GPS, Vari-angle lens
Weak 18-55mm kit lens, Noisy at ISOs higher than 1,600, Not the sturdy build of an enthusiast DSLR

Excellent image quality and fine detail, tilting LCD screen, built-in digital effects, easily navigated user interface
Glossy finish to body cheapens the look of the camera, pricey for anyone considering this as their frst DSLR
Despite the outward shiny-ness and more modest 600-shot rechargeable battery life, it could make for a longer term investment than the cheaper still Sony A3000 or your most basic entry level model
Speedy performances, Improved design and controls, WiFi and GPS builtin, Good picture quality up to 3200 ISO, Camera and kit lens make a consistent and effective pairing, Video image quality (Full HD, 50p)
Focusing is noisy, Can't take a photo while filming video, Stereo sound doesn't seem very "stereo", Menus are quite complex, Slow performances in Live View mode, No touchscreen, Viewfinder doesn't give 100% coverage
By ditching the low-pass filter, borrowing a sensor from a higher-end model, adding a new image processor, building in a GPS and Wi-Fi, improving the design, and speeding up performances, Nikon has made a triumphant return to the enthusiast DSLR market wi...
