Nikon D5300 An overview Nikon tells us that The Nikon D5300 is an Advance beginner Camera, Which means something lying between An entry level and Pro Cameras. Definitely it is. D5300 takes d5200‘s place. It is neither a D3200 or more advanced D7100. But something in between them.

New 24MP sensor ; High Resolution Articulating display; Wi-Fi built-in; EXPEED 4 processor

Mainly on-screen control,No touch-screen; No special effects for RAW

Love the camera, my first DSLR. Thought about the Canon T5i or the T6i (still not out yet for some reason) but this camera is far and away better.

Learning curve coming from a Canon S100 point and Shoot

$1,000 gets you a lot of different options for digital cameras--here's why the D5300 should be on your list.

The Nikon D5300 is a fantastic camera. It's small, light, competent and can make breathtaking images in any light. Colors are fantastic, and it focuses and works well in dim light with crazy ISOs unheard of just a few years ago.

Bought to replace my D90 on hikes and holidays; the lighter weight body, GPS, and the large mobile viewing screen are really useful. Quality is very good and the resolution is outstanding.

Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight; Simple Controls

Using the camera is a joy, fast focus,great pictures.Turn the photo review and video screen to manual not auto to preserve battery life. Also get the dual battery pack. The 18-140 is great for all around everyday shooting situtations in and outdoors.

Easy To Use; Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus; Fast Shutter Speed; Good Image Quality; Good Image Stabilization; High ISO Performance; Large Clear LCD; Quiet; Tilt /Swivel LCD

Not really had long enough to test out but looks to meet my expections. Somewhat concern when realised shipping from Hong Kong but arrived ok well packaged although delivery was several days later than indicated on website.

Price was most important as expected quality from Nikon

The Nikon D5000 series is ideal for beginners, students and a general family camera that I have sold to friends. I have tested this camera with the 18-105 Nikon lens and was impressed with the images.

The camera does excellent in low light situations which is the reason I chose it over other models. I was not a fan of the flip-out screen conceptually but I have found that I use it fairly often.

I spent over 4 months reading reviews and cross-referencing the D5xxx and D7xxx series looking at settings, functions, weight, sensors.. After all of that, I decided on purchasing the D5300. I have been using my D5300 for the past 8 months and I love it!
