Built in Wi-Fi and GPS; Improved ISO performance; 2 year warranty; Large 3.2inch screen; 24 megapixel sensor without AA; Good colour reproduction; Compact and well-built camera; Night vision mode; Built in help

No automatic panoramic mode; Remote control app quite basic; Slow live view focus speeds; 4-way controller buttons can't be customised

The Nikon D5300 is a new 24.2 megapixel DSLR camera with no optical low-pass filter that can record Full HD movies at 1080/50/60p with stereo sound and comes equipped with built-in Wi-Fi and GPS.

The was, and still is, a successful upper entry-level DSLR that offers an appealing combination of a solid imaging specification with good build quality at a price that keeps it in reach of entry-level upgraders.

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

The Nikon D5300 is a great choice as a general-purpose dSLR.

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

When the Nikon D5300 was launched in October, Nikon was keen to stress that it was not a replacement for the Nikon D5200 or D5100. Rather, it was a continuation of the D5000 series, so neither the D5200 nor the D5100 would be discontinued.

Doing away with the optical low-pass filter (OLPF) in front of image sensors has become fashionable of late and Nikon's recently-released D5300 joins the trend. Released roughly a year after the D5200, it offers the same 24.2-megapixel resolution but seems to use a different sensor if online reports...

In late 2013, Nikon announced their latest D-series entry-level DSLR, the D5300. The D5300 is replacing the D5200 and boasts a whole slew of upgrades. This is not just a simple re-badging.

Very good image quality versus other entry-level DSLRs; Improved performance speed versus predecessor; Anti-aliasing filter removed for clearer images; ISO settings up to 25,800 (equivalent; Noise in photos is limited; even at mid- to high-range ISO settings; Built-in Wi-Fi and GPS included; Stereo...

No touchscreen feature with LCD, Battery drains quickly when using Live View mode, Camera's performance slows considerably in Live View mode, Autofocus sharpness is inconsistent when recording video, No eye sensor; viewfinder mode doesn't activate automatically when you raise D5300 to your eye,...

I didn't expect major suprises from the D5300 when I picked it up to review. In a (mostly) good way, that proved to be true. Where I expected it to excel - high resolution image creation, specifically - it did.

Excellent image quality; High resolution sensor produces highly detailed images; Useful and sophisticated Auto ISO system; Solid feature set for first-time DSLR users; Good frame coverage of 39-point AF array; 1080/60p HD maximum video resolution; Customizable Fn button; Fully articulated LCD,...

Single Fn button is only means of direct access to key shooting settings like ISO and WB; Extreme lag in magnified live view; On-screen 'info' menu is dense and hard to operate quickly; No live preview of aperture changes in live view; Built-in flash lacks master function; Slow live view AF; Sports...

Nikon's D5300 is a camera that's designed for those of you who are just making the step up from a compact camera to a digital SLR. It has a small body with plenty of features, and it's one of those types of cameras where you can either let it do all the work for you, or you can take the reins and...

Good size and comfortable to hold; 24MP sensor offers good clarity and potential for cropping; Wi-Fi for sharing photos while on the go

Slow performance in live view mode; Optical viewfinder misses about 5 per cent of details at the sides

Nikon's enthusiast and semi-professional cameras since 2009 -- the D5000 and D7000, and their subsequent successors -- have kicked goal after goal after goal. Each incremental product release has addressed customer concerns, added new features, and bumped up their imaging sensors' megapixel count.
