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.

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

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

Easy to handle and us, Captured images have plenty of detail and accurate colo, Built-in GP, High ISO capability
18-140mm kit lens is rather large and loses fine detai, Some controls are oddly place, Noise reduction can be overly aggressive

AAfilterless sensor makes it more prone to moire, Burst speed slows with highest quality 14bit RAW images, Live View mode not as good as some competitors, No external headphone jack, GPS receiver not very sensitive
Despite being an evolutionary upgrade to the D5200, the Nikon D5300 sports a newly developed 24.2MP sensor without an AA filter for enhanced sharpness, and Nikon's latest EXPEED 4 processor for better high ISO handling and 1080/60p HD video. The addition...

Excellent photo quality, a great feature set, and speedy performance put the Nikon D5300 ahead of the pack
The default settings could be better and Live View is still really slow to use
The Nikon D5300 is a great choice as a general-purpose dSLR.
