The feel of the controls is smooth and luxurious. The supplied lens can hunt a little for focus on low contrast subjects but, in general, the camera is very responsive. The shutter and mirror are well damped and make a sweet noise. Automatic lens distortion correction is good.

Dislike

A three-exposure bracket mode is inadequate. And because there is no in-body focus drive, the older Nikkor lenses won’t auto focus.

Verdict

For anyone looking for an entry into the Nikon system this is the camera to consider. The D5300 uses a sensor that is also fitted to other Nikon APS-C models, as well as to other brands such as Sony and Pentax. There is nothing cut-down about the internal workings of this camera – the price difference is not due to diminished image quality. Recommended to the aspiring enthusiast.
