Customers are impressed with the D5300 DSLR Camera's picture quality and ease of use. Many appreciate the convenient WiFi capabilities for quick image transfers. The camera's lightweight design is also frequently praised.
This is an Upgrade on a D5100.I like the GPS and WiFi option and the fact that it is a little lighter in weight.The WiFi setup was easy as long as you follow instructions in the manual. I got a great deal at BestBuy when I bought the camera and a Nikon 18-140 lens together..Thanks BB

I think I got a good price with the extras I got with the camera. I like the wi Fi feature. Still working on all the different features the camera has.

I've been a Canon user for more than 25 years, going back to the 35mm days and up through the whole DSLR revolution. I own multiple Canon lenses and accessories and I've taken literally hundreds of thousands of shots with Canons. After shooting the D5300, I am selling off my Canon gear and going Nikon. The camera feels solid and durable. Its weight is comparable to the Canon 4Ti (one of my previous issues with Nikons was their weight#. Ergonomically I prefer the Canon to the D5300 #particularly the right side# but the difference is minor . . . the D5300 just feels much better to shoot. The real difference for me is the metering and focus. The D5300 has 39 metering points compared to the 4Ti's nine . . . what a huge difference that makes. I find that I am compensating on exposure FAR less with the Nikon than I ever had to with the Canon, and the focus gets fooled very rarely. More accurate RAW images means less post-processing and fewer bad shots, and it didn't take long for me to see the difference. The lens that came with this kit is the 18-140, which is a terrific range for the vast majority of your shooting situations. The Nikon's 1.5 magnification factor is a little better than the Canon's 1.6 so your lower end isn't as badly affected. And the lens has the same quality feel and function as the camera. It takes beautiful shots, clear and sharp. I also added the Sigma 10-20 lens and the Nikon 55-300 to give me the full range I need. Both of the lenses work very well #55-300 does have significant vignetting) and both were remarkably affordable - another of my gripes with Nikon is the cost of lenses, but that isn't necessarily the case any more. The bottom line - the Nikon D5300 takes wonderful shots with accurate metering and focus, and it just feels like a better quality camera. The difference between the D5300 and the Canon 4Ti is so significant that I'm abandoning a quarter century of brand loyalty and a half dozen lenses to make the switch. THAT should tell you something.
