There has been criticism levelled at the Nikon D5300 that its upgrades are too modest and they appear to be only a short jump from previous models. While this is in some ways true, I think Nikon has an already successful camera and added some worthy addit...
Excellent image quality and fine detail, tilting LCD screen, built-in digital effects, easily navigated user interface
Glossy finish to body cheapens the look of the camera, pricey for anyone considering this as their frst DSLR
Despite the outward shiny-ness and more modest 600-shot rechargeable battery life, it could make for a longer term investment than the cheaper still Sony A3000 or your most basic entry level model
Speedy performances, Improved design and controls, WiFi and GPS builtin, Good picture quality up to 3200 ISO, Camera and kit lens make a consistent and effective pairing, Video image quality (Full HD, 50p)
Focusing is noisy, Can't take a photo while filming video, Stereo sound doesn't seem very "stereo", Menus are quite complex, Slow performances in Live View mode, No touchscreen, Viewfinder doesn't give 100% coverage
By ditching the low-pass filter, borrowing a sensor from a higher-end model, adding a new image processor, building in a GPS and Wi-Fi, improving the design, and speeding up performances, Nikon has made a triumphant return to the enthusiast DSLR market wi...

Abstract: There's a new DSLR in the Nikon range, the D5300, which slots into the line-up alongside the D5200 model. Pocket-lint was on hand to get a feel for the new DSLR at a Nikon pre-launch event. It was only eight months ago that we saw the final D5200 model, s...
New sensor, No anti, aliasing filter, High, res vari, angle screen, Wi, Fi built, in, EXPEED 4 processor
Mainly on, screen control, No touch, screen, Special Effects JPEG only
The vari-angle screen and Effect modes encourage the user to shoot in live view mode (and compose the image on screen), but the live view AF system's performance lags behind that of many compact system cameras, and the screen isn't touch-sensitive.However...
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
Although the Nikon D5300 certainly isn't perfect, with the lack of a touchscreen and a high price-tag at launch two noticeable issues, it's among best DSLRs on the market and is certainly worthy of consideration if you're in the market for an upgrade from...
Abstract: Despite the emergence of mirrorless cameras, the market is still dominated by conventional DSLRs. Several companies make excellent SLRs to help consumers get better quality pictures for under $1,000...

Abstract: It's been barely a year since D5200 model came out, and the photographers already have the option of obtaining the newest Nikon model, D5300. Considering that not too much time have passed, it's to be expected that D5300 can't really offer anything revolu...

Easy to handle and us, Captured images have plenty of detail and accurate colo, Built-in GP, High ISO capability
18-140mm kit lens is rather large and loses fine detai, Some controls are oddly place, Noise reduction can be overly aggressive
Nikon's new enthusiast DSLR offers a few upgrades over the D5200, such as GPS and Wi-Fi, but continued high image-quality is the best feature. The Nikon D5300 is a DSLR for enthusiasts who want a bit more than a basic model (such as Nikon's own...
