Reviews around ship (5.00 of 5)

  • I’m just writing this review because this product Nikon d5300 is one of the best for me and also shipping was very fast
  • Thanks for the amazing service, fast shipping and an amazing camera!!
  • I see that Amazon states that this camera can only be shipped in the U.S., leading me to believe that they are selling cameras meant for sale here and include a U.S. warranty

Reviews around shot (5.00 of 5)

  • However, I can state the camera takes excellent shots and will not disappoint, amateur or pro alike
  • But at Easter I was able to take great shots with the new D5300 did not buy for the wifi
  • For the amateur who wants to take excellent, reproducible shots, this is an excellent product.
  • The kit lens takes solid shots and I have gotten some great use out of it
  • it's not like you can't get great shots from the start while you learn

Reviews around upgrade (4.69 of 5)

  • The autofocus system is a significant upgrade, with more focus points and an upgraded tracking system.
  • ISO then you might find the camera frustrating as you sometimes will have to navigate the software on the camera.
  • Love my camera upgrade....has so many features I still need to learn, but have used it for 2 photoshoots so far and loving it!
  • My previous camera was a D80, so this was a significant upgrade and well worth it.
  • Overall my fellow Nikon geeks, this is a great upgrade still within most of our financial means

Reviews around range (4.67 of 5)

  • Of course, the most important thing is this: If you set this camera up correctly and point it in the right direction, it can produce some very stunning images with great dynamic range and color at more than adequate resolutions
  • ISO then you might find the camera frustrating as you sometimes will have to navigate the software on the camera.
  • Take a look at the storm clouds image I've uploaded to get an idea of dynamic range
  • The camera has other features including "effects," and HDR (high dynamic range) shooting, which combines two shots of an image using different exposures
  • The dynamic range and resolution are much more than expected, without going into laboratory analysis

Reviews around quality (4.57 of 5)

  • I've originally bought a Sony in a similar price range because of the lure of a Zeiss lens, but had to return it because of the really bad image quality... not sure if I got a lemon or all of them were that bad, but I'm glad I did
  • The sound quality of the video however is pretty poor, but then again this is not a dedicated video camera.
  • Gives great quality pictures and is very light to carry
  • Camera arrived earlier than expected and is great quality
  • I like very much the quality of the pictures and videos

Reviews around feature (4.55 of 5)

  • It even has built-in WiFi and GPS and a great video feature

Reviews around screen (4.42 of 5)

  • Really nice camera, 24 MP sensor lots of excellent features, particularly like the articulating screen
  • The screen is a little hard to see in bright sunlight, no surprise
  • What I like best about the D5300: APS-C sensor; Live View; Fully articulated screen; Just enough customization menu items to suit my needs w/o making me feel like an idiot ;); wi-fi (I'm hoping someone develops an app allowing for remote manipulation of camera controls
  • The camera is very lightweight, has a gorgeous display, a fully articulating screen.
  • I find myself making the mistake of trying to pivot the screen the wrong direction each time.

Reviews around lens (4.12 of 5)

  • If you're ok with no warranty, opened/used product and the wrong lens, then this might be the camera for you! :-)
  • It's cumbersome to change from the other kit lens (18 to 55 and then the 55 to 200) while out an about.
  • The specs are great and coupled with a good lens the results are amazing.
  • I will just tell you that if you put a great Nikon lens on this little body you will have superb results
  • If you're continuing on your photography journey you should certainly consider this camera and if like me, you already have some of the inexpensive kit lenses, treat yourself to a more expensive zoom or prime lens and grow your overall capabilities.

Reviews around gps (2.01 of 5)

  • that, and the spotty GPS system, seem to have been forgotten by Nikon
  • Although the GPS is faster now , it also seems less accurate
  • A GPS lock can take a few seconds - be sure to download the free Assisted-GPS update file from Nikon at least once a month to speed up GPS locating: [...]
  • The D5300's standardized 2-lines-across-the-bottom Nikon style is a drastic improvement.7) GPS
  • The GPS is a little slow to lock on, but it improves with a location file installed
