- Is the D5300 still worth buying?
- Yes if you want an inexpensive DSLR with an optical viewfinder, long battery life and a wide lens range. Skip it if you need 4K video, a touchscreen or in-body stabilization.
- How does it compare with the D5600?
- The D5600 adds a touchscreen, SnapBridge Bluetooth and slightly better battery life. Image quality and autofocus are essentially the same, so the D5300 is the better value.
- Is the 18-140mm lens good for travel?
- Yes. It covers wide angle to short telephoto, so one lens handles landscapes, portraits and distant subjects. It is heavier than an 18-55mm kit lens but far more flexible.
- Does it record 4K video?
- No. It records 1080p at up to 60fps, with a microphone input for better audio.
- What is in the box?
- The body, the 18-140mm VR lens, a battery and charger, a strap and basic caps and cables. A memory card is not included.
- Can I use my phone to control it?
- Yes, through Nikon's Wireless Mobile Utility app over built-in Wi-Fi. You can preview and fire the shutter remotely, though the app is basic.
- Where is the Nikon D5300 13303 Black Digital SLR Camera with 18-140mm Lens cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $964.95, as of our latest check.
