Verdict

The Nikon D5300 is a versatile DX-format DSLR featuring a high-resolution 24.2-megapixel CMOS sensor specifically designed without an optical low-pass filter to maximise image sharpness. Powered by the EXPEED 4 image processor, it supports a standard ISO range of 100–12,800 (expandable to 25,600) and 5 fps continuous shooting, while its 39-point AF system with 9 cross-type sensors ensures precise focus. Key pros include its first-in-class built-in Wi-Fi and GPS, a large 3.2-inch 1,037k-dot fully articulated vari-angle LCD, and smooth Full HD 1080/60p video recording. However, notable cons include frustratingly slow autofocus performance in Live View, the lack of a touchscreen, and a somewhat limited external control layout that lacks a dedicated ISO button.
