Nikon D5300

 

The D5300 is a worthy and much-needed upgrade to the D5200

Built-in Wi-fi addition ; Good build quality ; Decent continuous shooting rate

Built-in 2.5mm mic socket ; App performance is disappointing with Wi-Fi ; Disappointing kit lens ; Lacking in live view app previews

Finally, the Nikon D5300 features an improved LCD screen, which now measures in at 3.2-inches and boasts a resolution of 1037k-dots. One noticeable oversight, and one that could really count against it, is that the screen is still lacking in...

Nikon D5300 review

 

24MP, vari-angle screen and Wi-Fi-equipped DSLR

Great performing sensor ; No anti-aliasing filter ; High-res vari-angle screen ; Wi-Fi built-in, EXPEED 4 processor

Mainly on-screen control ; No touchscreen ; Special Effects are JPEG only

A 24MP DSLR with a 3.2-inch articulating screen, 39-point AF system and Wi-Fi connectivity is a good option for someone looking to take their photography more seriously. The control layout is simple, too, so you get to grips with the camera quickly.

Nikon D5300: Better than ever

 

This $1,100 dSLR kit earns our Editors' Choice Award for being a great generalist camera.

Excellent photo quality, a great feature set, and speedy performance put the ; 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.

Nikon D5300 review

  (Rating Hidden)

The Nikon D5300 is a step-up model from Nikon's entry-level D3300 SLR, adding extra features such as wi-fi and GPS, along with a larger, more detailed and more flexible screen. We were impressed with the D3300 and its pictures, particularly at the...

Nikon D5300 review

 

There has been criticism levelled at the Nikon D5300 that its upgrades are too modest and they appear to be only a short jump from previous models. While this is in some ways true, I think Nikon has an already successful camera and added some worthy...

Nikon D5300 review - Outwardly shiny with modest battery life

 

Ideal for beginners yet sophisticated enough to keep them interested for years

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.
