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 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.

After what has been said it is almost needless to point out how the Nikon D5300 is a great camera advisable from every point of view. It produces excellent pictures, precise, with many details, and so extensive in pixels to allow even very large prints.

Photos and videos of high quality and precision; Integrated Wi-Fi; Many features; Easy to use

The screen is not touch; The mobile app allows minimal interaction with the camera

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.

Excellent image quality similar to more expensive DSLRs (like the D7100); Great dynamic range; Responsive all-around performer; Excellent Full HD video-shooting quality; Built-in Wi-Fi with remote control and sharing features; Built-in GPS; Compact and lightweight size; 18-140mm kit lens performs...

AA-filterless sensor makes it more prone to moire; Burst speed slows with highest quality 14-bit RAW images; Live View mode not as good as some competitors; No external headphone jack; GPS receiver not very sensitive, Penta-mirror viewfinder not as big and bright as full pentaprism OVF, Glossy LCD...

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...

The D5300 offers a few performance improvements over the D5200. It also adds some compelling features that competing products like the Canon T5i don't have, such as 1080p/60 fps video capture and built-in GPS and Wi-Fi.

Easy to handle and use; Captured images have plenty of detail and accurate color; Built-in GPS; High ISO capability

18-140mm kit lens is rather large and loses fine detail; Some controls are oddly placed; Noise reduction can be overly aggressive

The D5300 is a very good entry-level DSLR. Stills and videos are top notch, and the built-in Wi-Fi and GPS are real pluses.

Very good 24MP stills; Superior 1080/60p videos; Built-in Wi-Fi; GPS; Vari-angle lens

Weak 18-55mm kit lens; Noisy at ISOs higher than 1,600; Not the sturdy build of an enthusiast DSLR

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...

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

Those seeking an entry-level DSLR camera will be very pleased with the Nikon D5300 model. It has all of the basic photography features that you'd expect to find in an advanced interchangeable lens digital camera, including outstanding image quality and fast performance.
