Customer Ratings & Reviews

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....

I bought this camera for it's size and weight. I shoot mostly urban and street with the D5300. This camera with my 50mm f/1.4 is a great combo. Image quality is stellar and the controls are just right for on the fly adjustments. The one thing I will recommend is to use a high quality lens on this camera. It will quickly out resolve lower end glass.

This Nikon camera is so powerful because it has the capability in sending beautiful pictures via WiFi. It's light and easy to use. This camera is also especially well-suited to the beginner professional photographers. It has so much functions such as zooming and contrasting. The resolution of the pictures is marvelous. Love what this Nikon to do for us in every day's life.

Takes good pics...seems easy to use...haven't had any issues yet

Overall very happy with this purchase. I upgraded from a DSLR that was over 5 years old and the low light performance of this one is noticeably better. Takes crisp pictures and has great color as well.

I really love the features of this camera. it has enough features to grow into . The wi fi app is cool. The you tube videos also are informative

Intuitive interface for an amateur who was comfortable with the SLR interface of the older Nikons. Great new functions!

Great camera for a beginner with easy to choose dials with Sports and Macro modes as well as others. The screen folds in so it's protected when not in use. Easy to use and reat for a beginning Photographer!

Easy to use for new photographer. Great screen image.
