I had the nikon d5200, much like this, and i have some advice. I based my 1st dslr camera purchase on a mix of price versus features, features meaning image quality. I actually read in a magazine that the d5200 was the best value beginners dlsr, and i bought it on new ebay.
If you really are an enthusiast i would encourage you not to get this camera. I had mine for 6 months and got rid of it out of frustration. If you are looking for a 1st camera, like i was, i would do at the start what i later had to do and go for the nikon d7100. The reasons why: there are far fewer external controls on this camera. You will always be going through menus etc.
Beautiful camera, beautiful pictures. This is my first dslr, my entry level, and i am not disappointed. Being a nikon on its own is a major plus. High quality build and results, lots of lenses to choose from, great features, etc. The wi-fi feature might not be what you find on your usual smartphone or table but it does what says on the tin - connects to smartphone or table, although via wi-fi only (setting connection needed) and enables you to browse camera gallery, download photos and even use your smartphone or tablet as a viewfinder.
You can't adjust camera settings with the tablet but it is still very cool and useful for long distance photos, just like a live view remote. I use ipad and iphone and it works wonderfully. I don't really use the gps, so i cannot comment on it. I purchased the standard kit, 18mm-55mm, and i have been playing with it on all sorts of conditions, but still getting used to the dslr manual settings to get the best of this great camera.

The 24.2 Megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor delivers outstanding picture quality while capturing incredibly detailed images. Optimised for creativity and streamlined for flexibility, the Nikon D5300 is an upper entry-level D-SLR designed to inspire spectacular photos and videos. Boasting built-in Wi-Fi and GPS, this impressive 24.2 megapixel DX-format camera lets you capture and share the magic of your world in incredible detail. With the perfect combination of a powerful image sensor, incredibly fast image-processing engine, Picture Control technology and supreme NIKKOR lenses, the D5300 takes image quality to a whole new level. Ideal for anyone with a passion for photography, the D5300 is intelligently designed with every button and dial carefully placed for comfortable, efficient operation.
A New Level of Connectivity, As the first Nikon D-SLR to be equipped with built-in Wi-Fi, the D5300 makes it easy to share great shots while they're still fresh. In a few simple steps you can send photos directly to any iOS or Android smart device ready to upload to Facebook, Instagram and other social networking sites[1. The Wi-Fi function also makes it possible to control the camera remotely and preview the scene you're shooting using the connected smart device. Enriching your sharing experience still further you can add location information to photos using the built-in GPS function, another first for a Nikon D-SLR. Recording latitude, longitude and altitude as Exif data, the clever tracking tool can also log your route, even when the camera is turned off. Perfect for those who love to travel, the tracking information can then be displayed using Nikon's ViewNX 2 software (included) or photo sharing sites like Nikon Image Space. A versatile high-resolution 8.1cm vari-angle LCD monitor lets you take great shots and movies from virtually any position. The Expeed 4 image processing engine enables an ISO of up to 12800 to deliver brilliant shots even in poorly lit environments.
A Photographic Powerhouse, At the core of the D5300 is a 24.2 megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor that has been designed without an optical low-pass filter (OLPF) to capture maximum image detail. Achieving amazingly rich colours and smooth, natural skin tones, fine detail like hair or feathers are captured perfectly, especially when paired with a NIKKOR lens. Such high-quality, high resolution images also ensure you can enlarge or crop your photos without losing any of the striking contrast and detail.
High Speed Performance, Working to an exceptional standard in all light conditions, High ISO capability (100-12800 and extendable up to 25600) delivers brilliant shots and sharp images of fast moving subjects even in poorly lit environments. Equipped with Nikon's new EXPEED 4 image-processing engine, this unique system runs through countless operations at lightning-fast speeds to produce enhanced movie recordings and images with less noise and superb tonal gradation. With continuous shooting available at up to 5fps that fast-moving action shot is there for the taking.
Capture Fleeting Moments, The Nikon D5300 shares an AF system, metering sensor and scene recognition with the Nikon D7000 series, giving this camera a new level of performance and image quality. The superior accuracy of the 39-point AF system with nine cross-type sensors delivers razor sharp images by maintaining focus on even the smallest subjects however unpredictable their movements may be. Meanwhile, the 2016-pixel RGB metering sensor delivers precise metering for exact exposures and sends data to the camera's Scene Recognition System to optimise auto exposure, focus and auto white balance immediately before the shutter is released. For closer control you can apply one of 16 scene modes, like Sports, Beach, or Snow. Selecting the mode that matches the subject or situation you're shooting, the camera will automatically optimise shutter speed, ISO, and aperture for superior results. Active D-Lighting (top) when shooting, andD-Lighting (bottom) when retouching, both work to preserve details in highlights and shadows. Continuous shooting at up to 5fps plusD-Movie full HD video recording provide plenty of options for capturing fast-moving action.
Perfect Images with Ease, A variety of practical and innovative in-camera tools help to make the most of every shooting opportunity and ensure your pictures are captured to perfection. When facing extremely high-contrast lighting beyond the camera's dynamic range, Nikon's exclusive Active D-Lighting helps maintain details in the highlights without losing them in the shadows. In the most challenging conditions HDR (High Dynamic Range) simultaneously controls overexposure and underexposure to ensure well-balanced, low-noise, natural images with an extensive range of tones. After shooting you can enhance your photos still further with a range of clever retouch editing functions including the new Portrait subjects mode of the D-Lighting feature, which adjusts the exposure of human subjects while still retaining the natural ambience of a low-lit background.
Creative Images from Any Angle, Simply flip, tilt, or turn, and explore your creativity with the versatile high-resolution 8.1cm (3.2 inch), 1,037k-dot vari-angle LCD monitor. This swivel monitor gives you the ultimate freedom and flexibility to take great shots and movies from virtually any position or point of view including great self-portraits. Applying special effects like colour sketch or HDR painting to create distinctive photos and movies is made so much easier thanks to the large LCD screen. Preview your chosen effect on the high resolution monitor and adjust its intensity as you shoot.
Lights, Camera, Action, For those who want to take their creative vision to video, Nikon's D-Movie function gives you great compositional freedom. Recording in Full HD (1080p) at frame rates up to 50/60p, this versatile camera offers superior performance. A wide range of movie applications and convenient custom controls, including Live View operation with subject-tracking AF or face-priority AF, ensure large format movie shooting at its best, even when the action speeds up. With the Nikon D5300 movies can sound as good as they look too. Thanks to the camera's built-in stereo microphone and compatibility with Nikon's external ME-1 Stereo Microphone, it's easy to capture footage with crisp, clear sound. When it comes to sharing your latest creation, the HDMI output lets you connect the camera directly to an HDTV to enjoy your movies and photos in superb high-definition[2]. Nikon's Picture Control System helps fine-tune parameters like sharpness, saturation and hue, while 16 Scene Modes optimise settings for particular scenes.
Uncompromising Quality, Built for photographers on the go, a new internal design structure makes the durable D5300 even more compact and lightweight than it's predecessor. An improved grip ensures a steady hold for both Live View and viewfinder shooting, and with a newly designed pentamirror the viewfinder magnification has been increased to approximately 0.82x, making accurate composition of your shots even easier. Nikon's superior ergonomics, clear menus, and one-touch buttons for frequently used functions make operation quick and intuitive.
Lens Kits – The Right Choices, With outstanding Nikon technologies behind every lens kit, you can feel confident that you will take amazing, high-quality photos. The D5300 is compatible with the full range of DX-format NIKKOR lenses and is available separately or in a lens-kit with the small retractable NIKKOR 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6G VR II lens[3]. Whether you're shooting fast action, taking a wide-angle group portrait in low light, or zooming in to capture distant subjects, Vibration Reduction (VR II) stabilisation enables up to 4 stops (16 times) faster shooting, helping ensure clear, blur-free images. With intelligent design and inspiring capabilities, let your creativity soar with the intuitive D5300 from Nikon. [1] A Wireless Mobile Utility that can be downloaded free from Google Play and iTunes must be installed on the smart device prior to use. [2] An HDMI cable (not supplied) with a Type C connector is required. [3] The focal length of 18-55mm has an angle of view equivalent to that of a 27-82.5mm lens in 35mm [135] format.

Outstanding Vfm. Clearly this is a good camera. The myriad of good reviews proves this, the lack of bad ones speaks volumes. So many people have done extensive reviews that i would only be mirroring, so i will stick to the basics and tell you why i like this camera. The camera is a godsend where size and weight is concerned. My older d70 was a lot heavier and larger and was a pain to carry around all day. The d5300 is much easier to cart around with a larger lens attached. Gps is an excellent addition. I use iphoto on my mac which instantly labels each photo with precise locations, this removes the need for my notebook and pencil. Stick with nikon optics and it's practically silent in use. Articulated screen that can be hidden in use when needed. Battery life excellent when used without the screen. As an entry level camera, this is a bit above the norm. The improvements over the d3300 are worth having and the resolution is as much as you are ever likely to need. .
Great Speification Entry Level Camera. After three months reading and debating what i should buy to replace my d3200 which had some serious use initially as a hobby photographer i wanted to upgrade to a d7100. Given i could get the d5300 and a lens for the price of the d7100 body should i get it and as both had rave reviews it was a difficult choice with a coincidental ending. I bought the slightly better specked d7100 thinking i could grow into the camera given i know it was going to get some serious use. . Then promptly won £500 worth of vouchers three days later with which i bought the d5300 and lens kit. So pure luck i suddenly end up with both and well happy. After trying both in different situations i have found myself actually using the d5300 more and more. Enough has been said about its capabilities already and it is a camera aimed at entry level users but i have been sending pictures to a national register website that have received nothing but praise and have used them in talks and promotional boards with lots of thumbs up from people. I am a keen amateur but i do like people to see what i am trying to capture with my photos and with this camera i have not failed to be impressed. Just take your time and get to know you equipment and you will not be anything other than impressed. .
Thought I Wouldn't See Much Change Compared to a D5100, How Wrong Was I. Amazing. I'm a photographer who loves the versatility of a dslr, it's lenses and options but am not a photographer who pores over images in post-production or tweaks every last setting on the camera. I need something that functions well, quickly and is easy to understand so when i have the time (and inclination) to amend settings and play about i can without poring over the manual but at other times i can just pick up and shoot and know i'm going to get a good result. This camera does that and more. I upgraded from the d5100 which i thought i didn't really have any complaints about except auto focus speed in low light, this has blown me away. The af speed is significantly improved on the d5100 and i while i had no complaints about image quality the improvement in the d5300 is noticeable. Wifi and gps has proved more useful than i had thought and as i always have my phone with me then i don't need to worry about remembering a remote control. The controls are well laid out and easy to master, the screen lovely and bright and clear. I have "tweaked" things far more in the d5300 just because the layout is much easier and the screen display much more intuitive, i can easily understand what the impact of a change i've made to aperture or shutter is on the exposure or image which i never really quite mastered on the d5100. If i don't like it it is simple to revert back. The preset dials and improved layout/larger screen are a joy to use. The 18-140mm is a cracking lens for the kit and price. It has replaced my 18-55dx and 55-200dx which sat alongside my 70-300fx lens. The af speed of the 18-140 and the versatility of the lens is far better than the twin kit i got with the d5100. It fills the gap nicely and i often now will just go out with the 18-140 and leave the other lens at home as the loss of the range between 140 and 200 is nothing compared to the hassle of changing lenses. It is fast, surprisingly bright and for general use i can't fault it. .

Conclusion of Nikon D5300 Digital SLR
A quick summary of the good and weaker areaspros:+ very good image quality from the 24mp cmos sensor, no optical low pass filter makes for sharper images with a bit more resolution+ impressive 39 point af system with 9 cross type sensors+ built-in wi-fi and gps+ 3. Very nice+ built in af assist light is useful though can be a bit harsh for people subjectscons:- no depth of field preview- won't autofocus screw drive lenses (non af-s)- limited flash capabilities, no auto fp (high speed sync), no native support of wireless flash (cls) with built in flash- live view and movie af could be quicker, cannot see real preview of aperture set until the shot is fired- no vertical grip option (shame really third party ones might turn up though with some compromises)d5300 v d3300 (main differences)d5300 has an articulated lcd (which is also higher res)39 point af system with 9 cross type sensors v the 11 af points on the d3300 (one cross type sensor)d5300 has wifi and gps built in, the d3300 has neitherimage quality wise the cameras are near enough identical (both have no optical low pass filter)some field notes:battery life is about 550-600 shots, though using the movie and live view will drain it more. Worth picking up a spareimage quality is very good but you really need something a bit better to take advantage of the full 24mp resolution, the kit lens is ok but not really up to the job by some margin. Jpegs are decent but raw is the way to go for max details and for processing the best images at high isoviewfinder is slightly higher magnification than the previous model (just a little but it's a good move) the view is a little biggergps worked quite well but it can drain the battery a bit (though the battery life is quite good) it's ok accuracy wise but not as good as a car or hand held gps (no gps i've used in camera is dead on all the time) still quite useful to have itwifi allows you to connect the camera to a smart phone or tablet, and you can control it remotely with an 'app'. The optical low pass filter is gone just like other nikon's this does give a tad more resolution (it's not a huge difference though) image quality is very good, if you have the lenses that can take advantage of that the basic kit isn't really ideal here, but nikon's affordable 35mm f1.
24mp is a bit ott for many users, you can of course though shoot jpegs and get good results from the camera, and you can reduce resolution to save some card/file space. Some points to note, for users wanting to pick up older lenses (ie non af-s or d type ones) the camera doesn't have a built in focus motor, this isn't a huge problem the majority of nikon lenses have a built in motor in the lens, just something to watch out for. You can mount and use non af-s/screw-drive lenses but you will have to manually focus (live view can help here)flash wise much like the d3300, you have to move up to the d7100 (or d7000) to enjoy auto fp (high speed sync) this is useful for fill flash outside where you will exceed the camera's sync speed of 1/200 second. Nikon have designed it so that more advanced users who need these features move up to higher priced bodies (just decide if these areas are important to you when making your buying choice)as a starter camera or something a bit more meaty to get your teeth into, this is a good camera in most respects. Image quality is very good, it's quite an easy camera to use and learn on.
Not a bad back up camera either just make sure it meets your needs. For new users this is a good camera which is a fun creative tool to use.

The camera is a godsend where size and weight is concerned. As an entry level camera, this is a bit above the norm. I bought the slightly better specked d7100 thinking i could grow into the camera given i know it was going to get some serious use. Enough has been said about its capabilities already and it is a camera aimed at entry level users but i have been sending pictures to a national register website that have received nothing but praise and have used them in talks and promotional boards with lots of thumbs up from people. I am a keen amateur but i do like people to see what i am trying to capture with my photos and with this camera i have not failed to be impressed.
I'm a photographer who loves the versatility of a dslr, it's lenses and options but am not a photographer who pores over images in post-production or tweaks every last setting on the camera. This camera does that and more. I admit i am not an expert, but of the several cameras i have used so far, this outshines the rest by some distance. I can only conclude that this is down to the sensor (along with the dropping of the optical low pass filter) in this camera - definitely a step up in sharpness and colour reproduction; especially a noticeable improvement with my nikon 12-24 lens. Fantastic camera which has many good features and takes a lovely photograph.
The wi-fi feature might not be what you find on your usual smartphone or table but it does what says on the tin - connects to smartphone or table, although via wi-fi only (setting connection needed) and enables you to browse camera gallery, download photos and even use your smartphone or tablet as a viewfinder. You can't adjust camera settings with the tablet but it is still very cool and useful for long distance photos, just like a live view remote. I purchased the standard kit, 18mm-55mm, and i have been playing with it on all sorts of conditions, but still getting used to the dslr manual settings to get the best of this great camera. The camera offers 39 focus with a 9 point cross focus for all you sports photography fanatics. When light did get low i rarely had to go anything higher than iso 5000 which is a testament to how well this camera does.
In auto it takes great pictures, turn the dial to no flash auto though as you will rarely need to use the flash such is the versatility of this camera. Although this isn't really a game changer and most camera's require you to take a couple of shots if you are working in manual to get the right exposure based on your scene and lighting conditions. But please in future camera manufacturers include the touchscreen its part of our smartphone culture and it should be a minimum requirement in all slr camera's not a premium one. The bottom line is if you are looking to get a new camera and have a tight budget get a d3200 but if you can afford to get something a bit more only think about getting the nikon d5300 it is surprising just how many high-end features that this camera is packed with.I ordered the camera with the standard 18-55mm kit lens through amazon prime, which was delivered the next day.
Since then i am hooked to this camera. I bought this camera in time for a holiday to new zealand, however did not have time to test it properly before travelling. The 140mm lens was however never removed from my camera on the trip - it had sufficient range to prevent me needing to change to my zoom lens, which was very welcome. Taking pictures on the camera remotely using the iphone app was a bit slow and seemed to drain both devices' batteries very quickly. Given that the main reason i bought the camera was for the gps feature, it is a shame that this hardly ever worked.
Great Camera For a Beginner! Must Buy!. The nikon d5300 continues to spoil us with its 24. 2 megapixel sensor however the series now gets a major refresh with gps and wireless included inside it!also we see the continuing trend to now remove the optical low pass filter in manufacturers to give sharper pictures. The camera offers 39 focus with a 9 point cross focus for all you sports photography fanatics. It offers 5 fps continuous shooting, which works very well but with the new xspeed 4 processor theres no need why it couldn't be pushed higher. I suspect because it might be treading on d7100 territory. Whilst this is a solid step up from the likes of the ever popular d3200 as it does offer you more features. It handles low light very well and produces relatively noise free images. When light did get low i rarely had to go anything higher than iso 5000 which is a testament to how well this camera does. Although it can offer right up to 128000 which puts it near the top end levels. Its exceptional low light performance is great news for film fanatics too, and video is clear and solid. It can offer up to 1080p at 60 frames a second, however 60 frames is only offered in ntsc format in pal its 50fps. Thats not such a big deal as in hd video theres pretty much cross compatibility everywhere. In auto it takes great pictures, turn the dial to no flash auto though as you will rarely need to use the flash such is the versatility of this camera. Flash can also be quite intrusive so you'll quickly learn not to use it. One drawback is, you have to take the picture first before you can see what it looks like unlike in canon models that show you the effect of changing your settings immediately. Although this isn't really a game changer and most camera's require you to take a couple of shots if you are working in manual to get the right exposure based on your scene and lighting conditions. Another major gripe is the lack of a touchscreen, the circular navigation with the ok button is just that, ok and you have the tendency to press diagonally when you want to go left or down instead of left/down. Or maybe its just my fat fingers! but please in future camera manufacturers include the touchscreen its part of our smartphone culture and it should be a minimum requirement in all slr camera's not a premium one. The 18-55mm starter kit is a good lens, but having worked with prime lenses and being blown away by their sharpness i would recommend if you are buying this with a kit to go for a higher range. I believe the 18 - 140 mm is a great travel lens. This might stretch your budget too much, so if you are a beginner then use the 18-55mm as it is a great way to learn your trade just beware that when you go prime you may find it hard to go back. The images do look sharp, but on a prime the true capability of this sensor come out and they look razor sharp. But that's nothing a bit of post processing won't help. The bottom line is if you are looking to get a new camera and have a tight budget get a d3200 but if you can afford to get something a bit more only think about getting the nikon d5300 it is surprising just how many high-end features that this camera is packed with! its a bargain in the dslr market and will be future proof for the next couple of years. If you have a bit more cash then look at the d7100 and above. If you already have a crop sensor move into full frame!.
Beautiful Camera, Beautiful Pictures. This is my first dslr, my entry level, and i am not disappointed. Being a nikon on its own is a major plus. High quality build and results, lots of lenses to choose from, great features, etc. The wi-fi feature might not be what you find on your usual smartphone or table but it does what says on the tin - connects to smartphone or table, although via wi-fi only (setting connection needed) and enables you to browse camera gallery, download photos and even use your smartphone or tablet as a viewfinder! that is simply awesome! you can't adjust camera settings with the tablet but it is still very cool and useful for long distance photos, just like a live view remote. I use ipad and iphone and it works wonderfully. I don't really use the gps, so i cannot comment on it. I purchased the standard kit, 18mm-55mm, and i have been playing with it on all sorts of conditions, but still getting used to the dslr manual settings to get the best of this great camera. I have been visiting the nikon site for more info and tips, and many forums and blogs - there is so much stuff out there you can learn from. Taking tips meant for a d5200 or even d3200 is good enough. The user interface on these is the same and so are most features. I wish i could tell you more about this little monster but i am just a beginner as i said before. I have recently purchased the 35mm dx lenses for portraits and the extra background blur, and i'm loving it. Next i'll go for the zoom lenses to have a nice full kit around. I just need the time and the money to fund this little investment. I wanted to purchase the red d5300 but the price put me off. In the end, i am actually happier with the classic black, as it looks so much smarter and it does not stand out. I don't really want to be waving this bad boy around when outside in the street, so i will also be using a regular messenger bad, with padding, to carry the necessary kit. I have bought the extra en-el14a battery to carry around. I know from experience that this is probably your most valuable accessory to carry all the time - an extra fully charged battery. I strongly advise this to be your first purchase. If you are purchasing one of these, i hope you will be as happy as i am. If you are not sure, do it like i did. Visit the shops, have a go in there, and study the various review websites and forums for real user experience sharing and reviews. Enjoy!.
