Great Camera with Some nice new features
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned a Nikon D5000 for a couple of years and really wanted to upgrade to WiFi and GPS. I researched and found out the D5300 had the GPS which was eliminated form the newer mode so I opted for this one over the newer version. Though I do not use the Kit lens that much I did decide on getting the one with the lens over body only as the new 18-55 Kit lens is changed a bit and collapses down to be more compact for travel. The camera is loaded with features and suffice to say you are best to just read up on them. A couple that I like over the D5000 I had: 1. GPS is nice as it tags photo location. It works well and I haven't had any issues with it. 2. The WiFi works well and the app d nice as you can take a photo from your phone. Works good for tripod shots and HDR bracketing. 3. The screen is nice and crisp. 4. The 24mpx though not needed is nice to allow more cropping. All in all I would recommend this camera especially now that it is a bit older and the price has dropped. It's a good value.

Great camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this camera because it came with everything I needed to get started. I love it!! I'm a beginner so I needed something that would have an auto setting as well as settings that allow me to broaden my skills. Very easy to use. The pictures are clear and crisp. Would definitely recommend it. I've added a couple pictures I've taken at a butterfly house.

Impressive starting camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Finally made the jump to a DSLR from my phone & compact point and shoot. First real use was for an airshow and when I looked at the pics full size I was extremely happy with the photos I took with little experience and on the auto setting. I can't wait to learn more about the camera and all of the things I can do with it!

Great camera for any enthusist
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great camera for any enthusist and it is easy enough for the first time buyer as well. The manual controls allow you to get the most out of the camera. At the same time, the preset modes make it easy to take great pictures right out the box. The built in wifi works great; it makes sharing pictures on the go really simple. I also recommend the Nikon 50mm 1.4 lense as well. If you are looking to take pro quality pictures or do a lot of shooting at night this lense does the trick.

Great camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been used to taking pictures with my iPhone and thought having a larger camera with be inconvenient. But, we were going on a trip and wanted to make sure to have great pictures. I am so glad we investigated cameras and find this one. It not only takes great pictures, but is lightweight and easy to operate. And, the WiFi feature allowed us to transfer the pictures directly to our phone and iPad as soon as we got back to our room. We love this camera.

Great camera!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Nikon D5300 after quote a bit of research. I can say I'm quite pleased with it. My smartphone takes pretty good photos, but I wanted more ability to do things like low light, and night time shots where smartphones lose it. There is a lot to learn with all the features, which are great for when you want to take more control, but the auto modes also make it easy to use right out of the box. Would buy again!

Perfect starter camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great entry level camera. I find it to be comfortable, versatile, easy to use and easy to figure out. My wife and I are using it mainly for food photos and videos. I have used it for some car photos. We love the quality of the pictures. We are so glad we decided to invest in this as opposed to the continued use of the camera on our iPhones. The quality is a very noticeable step up.

Good Entry Level DSLR
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With the impending arrival of my first great grandchild, I decided to upgrade from an old point and shoot. Having had a film SLR, I know the basics, and this has so much more. Still getting used to the shutter release button location (keep wanting to press "Record") I still haven't begun to explore all the features, but looking forward to it. Sample photo: Aperture Priority f/4 1/400 sec ISO 100 Focal Length 20mm

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionComparison between the D5300 and the d5500
Asked by Earl.
- A:Answer Both the D5300 and the D5500 are 24MP DX sensors capable of taking crystal-clear still photos and full HD video. They both feature built-in Wi-fi and GPS and can shoot continuously up to 5 frames per second. While they share many similar features, the newer, lighter D5500 includes some exciting new features. The D5500 is Nikon's first DSLR to offer a 3.2-inch Vari-angle touch operation LCD display, the user to choose their focus point via Touch AF, pinch in to check focus and even activate the shutter with the touch of a fingertip. D5500 users can also take advantage of an expanded wide-ranging ISO spanning 100-25,600, which makes it easy to capture great images, even when available light is scarce. Super Vivid, POP and Photo illustration have been added as Effects Modes, and Picture Controls have been enhanced by adding a “Flat” option. Both cameras are ideal entry-level DSLR for the creative photographer ready to take their storytelling to a new level.

Q: QuestionZoom qualityI am purchasing a new camera to take pictures of my daughter during competitive cheer competitions. Most take place in School gyms. If I sat at the top bleachers level or a little farther would the 18-55mm do well to take close up pictures while she is moving fast? Or should I go with the 18-140mm.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Since you will be a distance away taking pictures - indoors, we would recommend the 18-140. Be aware that you will need to boost the ISO in order to freeze motion. The D5300 makes it easy to do that. It is a SPORTS Scene Mode that will make all the correct settings for you. Be aware, once your camera is in this mode it will disable the flash.

Q: QuestionCan I. Shoot panorama with the d5300
Asked by Rob.
- A:Answer While the Nikon D5300 DSLR camera has a lot to offer photographers, it does not have a panoramic option on it. If you are looking into getting a DSLR that has a panoramic option you may want to look into the Nikon D3300 DSLR camera. The Nikon D3300 offers high-resolution panoramas, as well as many other options for taking beautiful images.

Q: QuestionI WANT TO PURCHASE DSLR ENTRY LEVEL WHICH ONE ROUGH AND TOUGH BODY D 3000,3300,5200,OR 5300 OR5500
Asked by BIPIN.
- A:Answer Nikon does not manufacture shock-proof or water-proof DSLRs. While no particular specification is published regarding water or dust protection, our higher end cameras are designed for professional use and can withstand the rigors of that type of photography. The consumer level models, while built to withstand normal usage are not as sealed and protected as the higher end models.
