Your EN-EL-14 batteries will work in it

so focus is slow- video can now be captured in 1080P resolution at 60 frames per second- slightly smaller and lighter camera body, without (in my experience) sacrificing handling- higher capacity battery (EN-EL14a) provides 600 CIPA shots per charge vs 500 on the D5200/EN-EL14 (but if you turn on GPS and WiFi, the battery drains much faster)And, if you're upgrading from a D5100, the D5300 carries over these improvements from the D5200:- dramatic focus improvement: 39-point AF, 9 cross-type AF points, and 3D focus

Not only it is useless for the trip, it also drain the battery much faster than I like or expect

and you run the risk of forgetting it is on there and a few hours later picking up a camera with a dead battery

but I haven't been able to get the GPS coordinates embedded in JPG files- lightweight, great battery lifeWithout a

Not only the GPS is close to useless, it also drain battery much quicker

Not only it is useless for the trip, it also drain the battery much faster than I like or expect

Remote control function is pointless via phone...GPS is in and out and drains battery.

The battery is superb

Battery back-up could be improved . . .

Also, all my lenses from the D3100 work on this camera, as well as the batteries.

With the GPS on, the battery can be drained with as little as 200-300 shoots

GPS drains battery quickly, so only turn it on when you really want to Geo

Built-in flash is not good• Battery life is not good,even gps & wifi eats more battery, spare battery highly recommended• AF works best with inbuilt motor lens unlike D7100,but manual focus is not an issue

Besides built-in flash use is guaranteed to drain the batteries quickly

High battery drain with gps on, even when camera is asleep.

If you leave this camera in OFF for a week or so, battery is usually dead when you come to use the camera !

However this kills the battery in as little as 20 minutes

Great battery life (new to me, compared to point-and-shoots)5

Although it includes the new En-EL14A battery, old EN-EL 14 battery still works

It has good battery life, great photos (when you know what your doing and are on the right settings), good video, and a good fit and finish (for me)

It also made this function not very practical to use when travelling as the smart devices' memory are much smaller than the SD card and the prolong use of Wi-Fi seems draining the battery quickly

I will say that as fast as those cards are, you almost want faster.

I have a lot to learn about it's use and am the functions, as well as how to take a great picture

ISO then you might find the camera frustrating as you sometimes will have to navigate the software on the camera.
