My older camera (still using) is a D200. So definitely this is going down to a purely consumer level rather than the prosumer level. However, the specs for the D5300 on the component level are at about the D7xxx level. So far I have been very impressed with the quality and capability of the D5300. The ISO sensitivity is many levels above the D200 and I can get much better quality pictures with this sensor and processor combination. Although the ruggedness of this camera is not up there with the D200, it has been tough enough to stand a fall from shoulder level onto thin carpeting with no problem (plastic bayonet on lens broke, but was able to replace that). It is nice that it is significantly lighter as well. It makes it much more pleasant to handle all day. As for features, they are all there. I usually shoot aperture priority, but all the normal modes are there. Overall, after about a month of use, definitely very happy with this purchase. I also decided (and still believe so) that the touchscreen (D5500) would not have been worth the extra couple hundred $. Save that money for better glass.

I bought the components I needed to support my business needs based on advice and knowledge provided to me by the Associate. The camera body allows me to get the photos I expected and the impact on my business, Reptastic has been very positive. The photo included I took with my camera.

This is my first DSLR camera, after a long hiatus from a Nikon F5 Pro Camera that I reluctantly traded in for cash over 15 years ago. I vowed to get a D1... well, obviously, we are up to D5 , which is about three times the price of what I got my new F5. While cameras have advanced, I haven't. This d5300 is just perfect for my re-entry into photography. While it is not as fast to shoot live action sports, it has all of the tools that I need. I can still get auto fucus through the Lenses, if I choose. It still has the weight ( while not weather proof), and is wifi. I have used nikkor lenses to shoot portraits and interior scenes over the past weeks and I am in heaven allover again. I am sure, as I advance, I will pick up a pro camera, and keep this one as a camera. Videos are professional quality as well. While this has an adjustable viewfinder screen, that makes it looks like a consumer model, I only use that for video shooting, preferring to use the larger screen for my settings, oppose to the optional live views for my still shots. The pop up flash? , well it is a consumer model, however it does take a hot-shoe flash. It is simple to use, with professional quality....
