- Key Specs
- Image Sensor Size: APS-C (23.6 x 15.7 mm)
- Effective Pixels: 0 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)

- General
- Brand: Nikon
- Model Number: 1519
- Product Name: D5300 DSLR Camera (Body Only)
- Color: Black
- Digital Camera Type: DSLR Camera Body Only
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: APS-C (23.6 x 15.7 mm)
- Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: 1/4000 to 30 sec. in steps of 1/3 or 1/2 EV (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Minimum ISO: 100 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. When there is plenty of light, using the lowest ISO setting available will typically result in a higher quality image.)
- Maximum ISO: 12800 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. In low-light environments, using a higher ISO setting helps to capture a sharp, bright image.)
- Maximum Expandable ISO: 25600 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. Expandable ISO settings use software to simulate brighter images than the device's native ISO range is capable of capturing.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
- Shooting Modes: Photography Live View mode, Movie Live View mode (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
- Effective Pixels: 0 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- Lens Mount Compatibility: Bayonet 2/3
- Flash
- Flash Modes: Automatic (The flash feature emits light to increase the brightness of a subject in dimly lit environments. Common modes include Auto and Red-Eye Reduction.)
- Integrated Flash: true
- Display
- Display Type: LCD
- Screen Size: 3.2 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Viewfinder Type: Optical (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
- Touch Screen: false (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)

A: It's available now online or at your local Best Buy.
A: Your NIKKOR-brand lenses for your D3100 will work on your D5300 so you would only need to buy the body. The D5300 would be and excellent sports photography camera - on a budget. It's 5 frames per second frame rate will capture the action for you.
A: The Nikon D5300 DSLR does not have a built-in focus motor like the Nikon D80 DSLR, which means you will be able to use any AF-S lenses you used with your Nikon D80 with no problems. If you were using AF lenses with your Nikon D80, you will still be able to manually focus the lens, but there will be some limitation to the way they function on the Nikon D5300. If you are looking for a DSLR that is more like the Nikon D80, that has a built-in focus motor, try looking into the Nikon D7100, which also offers 6 frames per second, Live View, movie options and 24.1 million effective pixels to make every image richly detailed in true-life HD format.
Q: will this work with canon lenses?
A: A Nikon camera works with Nikon lenses. A Canon camera works with Canon lenses. They each have different mounts. Honestly, the camera companies would rather sell you lenses than a camera body, most photographers have more lenses than bodies.
A: I am sure it is the US market model. I would be shocked if a major retailer sold the import version. All the manuals are in English and everything looks like a typical US product to me. It comes with the enel14a battery, although the manual says it can actually use either. Hope that helps your decision. I will say I love it and find it to be the perfect mix for me, a serious photography enthusiast. I had the D5000 before this and this was a good step up, while staying in the same model range.
Q: When will you guys have restocked this product?
A: Most stores will not carry this camera until the Nikon D5200 is no longer in their warehouses. They probably purchased too many as a company and so they want to sell as many as they can before releasing the 'newest model' (although the D5300 came out in October).
A: I purchased the D5300 body only. It does support shooting in NEF (Raw) + JPEG.
Q: Will my D90 lens work well with this D5300 camera?
A: The Nikon D5300 DSLR camera does not have a built-in motor as the Nikon D90 DSLR camera does. This means it must use an AF-S type lens to get the full autofocus capabilities from the lens. Any AF style lenses you used with the D90 can be used with the D5300, however, the lens will have limited functionality and will have to be manually adjusted to get it to focus.
