Nikon D5300

The Nikon D5300 is an update to the Nikon D5200. This entry-level DSLR camera comes with a DX-format 24.2 megapixel sensor with no optical low-pass filter and with the EXPEED4 image processor, that work together to produce high-resolution still imagery with notable color accuracy and details.

The Nikon D5300 benefits from a versatile AF autofocus system with a 39 distinct AF points and nine cross-type sensors, to quickly acquire focus in a range of lighting conditions. The Dynamic-area AF mode is present on this camera and allows to choose from 9, 21 or 39-point arrays. 3D-tracking, Auto-area AF and Single-point AF modes are also available on the Nikon D5300. Among other feathures, the D5300 adds to its predecessor integrated Wi-Fi and GPS modules to enable geotagging functionality and continuous transferring of imagery to an Android or iOS device, via Nikon Wireless Mobile Utility app.

The Nikon D5200 impressed us last time around, but Nikon have managed to go one-better with the D5300. While its new features don’t make it a groundbreaking release, they add up to make it a better specified product for the entry-level and advanced amateur photographers it’s out to target.
