My D90 bit the dust after ten years and the repair cost was the same as purchasing the D5300 (body only). I did not want to spend the amount needed to purchase a body that was in the same "category" as the D90 was.

Really easy to use. Make sure you have a descent size memory card to prevent filling up too quick. 32GB at least

Easy to set up and start snapping pictures

None so far

Even though this is an older model entry level DSLR, it is more than capable of providing quality pictures and video, especially for beginners who are barely started

they didn't send me what is specified in the product description. first it says is a new product, they send a opened camera and used. then it says that the camera comes with 2 lens, they just send me the 18-55mm lens in the openes camera box and no the 70-30mm lens.

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.

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
