The editors liked

  • The feel of the controls is smooth and luxurious. The supplied lens can hunt a little for focus on low contrast subjects but
  • In general
  • The camera is very responsive. The shutter and mirror are well damped and make a sweet noise. Automatic lens distortion correction is good.
  • Good size and comfortable to hold
  • 24MP sensor offers good clarity and potential for cropping
  • Wi-Fi for sharing photos while on the go
  • New sensor
  • No antialiasing filter
  • Highres variangle screen
  • WiFi builtin
  • EXPEED 4 processor
  • Built-in Wi-Fi and GPS. Mostly comfortable shooting design. Good video quality
  • Good high-ISO images
  • Clean
  • Clear video
  • Wireless capability

The editors didn't like

  • A threeexposure bracket mode is inadequate. And because there is no inbody focus drive
  • The older Nikkor lenses won't auto focus
  • Slow performance in live view mode
  • Optical viewfinder misses about 5 per cent of details at the sides
  • Mainly onscreen control
  • No touchscreen
  • Special Effects JPEG only
  • No huge jump in image quality or sharpness over the D5200. Smartphone app could have more features. Positioning of Live View switch is awkward for one-handed shooting
  • Wi-Fi can be annoying
  • Geotagging requires add-on
  • IOS issues

  • For anyone looking for an entry into the Nikon system this is the camera to consider. The D5300 uses a sensor that is also fitted to other Nikon APS-C models, as well as to other brands such as Sony and Pentax. There is nothing cut-down about the internal...

  • Nikon's D5300 is an entry-level digital SLR camera that will suit those of you looking to make the leap to a more advanced camera than a compact or smartphone camera. It can be a versatile shooter as long as you have the right lenses, and it's available i...

  • With all of Nikon's DX cameras now having 24-megapixel sensors, most potential purchasers will be wondering whether it's worthwhile paying extra for the D5300, when there's a cheaper D3300 available. The size and weight differences between the two camera ...

  • Mainly onscreen control, No touchscreen, Special Effects JPEG only
  • It would be easy to dismiss the changes made with the D5300 as minor, but there is much more to a camera than its pixel count. And a processing engine is just as important as a sensor when it comes to image quality. The new sensor design and the removal o...

  • Abstract:  It's been barely a year since D5200 model came out, and the photographers already have the option of obtaining the newest Nikon model, D5300. Considering that not too much time have passed, it's to be expected that D5300 can't really offer anything revolu...
