Q: QuestionWill the lenses from my Nikon D3100 work with the D5300, so I would only need to buy the body? Would you recommend upgrading to this one for better sports photography, or a different model (on a budget). Thank you!

• A:Answer 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.

Q: QuestionI have had a D80 SLR NIKON for 8 years. Now faulty. I want to replace Is the D5300 about same or better for all my DX lenses

Asked 9 years ago by TIKTOK.

• A:Answer 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: Questionwill this work with canon lenses?will this work with canon lenses? or you must use Nikon lense?

Asked 12 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer 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.

Q: Questionis the nikon that you sell the us market model or the import model? is the battery that comes with it the enel14 or the enel14a?

Asked 12 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer 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: QuestionWhen will you guys have restocked this product?I know it's all sold out basically everywhere, how can I know when it will be back, and is there any way to reserve one?

Asked 12 years ago by kceballos.

• A:Answer 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).

Q: QuestionWill my D90 lens work well with this D5300 camera?

Asked 9 years ago by Cameready.

• A:Answer 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.

Q: QuestionWould a AF NIKKOR 35-70mm 1:3.3-4.5 lens and a AF NIKKOR 10-210mm 1:4-5.6 lens work with the D5300?

Asked 9 years ago by farmerdave.

• A:Answer The D5300, as well all Nikon's D3000-and D5000-series cameras, does not have a built-in focus motor. It does require lenses that have a Silent Wave Autofocus motor incorporated into it. Nikon denotes these lenses with an AF-S designation. While you can attach the two AF lenses you had mentioned here, you will have to use manual focus. The lenses will work on the camera in every other way, other than autofocus.
