From there, I bought a Fuji HS30EXR, which was very highly recommended, and had awful image quality; next, I purchased a Sony NEX-6, which was light-years ahead of the Fuji, but I always felt like something was missing

are a little soft even after making in-camera adjustments; Shooting Raw and using Nikon's very good Image Editing software can enhance the photos quite a bit

Still learning to use but the images are beautiful and camera is lightweight and great Nikon quality

All images were impressively sharp to my satisfaction, edge to edge

I'm upgrading from a D5100 which I absolutely love and always found to have excellent image quality

This weekend I shot several hundred images with that lens and only missed 1 shot due to unlocking the locking mechanism

for the price i think you get a great image quality and many features that will help you grow as a photographer.

Truly brilliant little camera, image quality as good as my

I've tried switching to Olympus m43 and it gave me sharp images and great color but focus accuracy/speed leaves something to be desired

The 18-250 is still one of the sharpest images I've ever seen on a camera at a distance or close up

Great image quality, very versatile, very useful and very

Very compact model, light weight and no low pass filter for sharper images.

Everything is smoothly sharpened to a crisp and GOD DANG this camera produces fine images for what it is

I find myself spending less time in Lightroom and more time with a camera in my hands, and I find that leaving things like ISO up to the camera (unthinkable on Sony's APS-C cameras, which render unusable images after ISO 6400 or so) not only renders great images, but makes it that much easier (and enjoyable) for me to bungle my way through this silly, expensive hobby of mine

Excellent camera, images, features!

Fantastic quality images right out of the box

If you use it as a point and shoot then it will take good reliable images with decent image quality

Sharp images in most settings

Nikon is aware of this issue from a long time now, and I am surprised they don't do anything much to rectify this anomaly in succeeding versions of their products!Update 7/03/2015: The grip is not as good as I first thought

Before I returned the D5300 though I did send it (on my dime) to Nikon USA to get it cleaned and they refused as it was a "Gray Market" camera made in Thailand.

This is a great camera, but in my opinion, not as great as a D5300

all working as

but I'm skeptical that it can nail focus as well as and a often as a Canon, Nikon (or Pentax or any) DSLRs

f/1.8g fantastic plastic lens (also with metal mount) at the same time, just for fun
