Our take on the Nikon D5300 13303 Black Digital SLR Camera with 18-140mm Lens

The D5300 is Nikon's mid-range DX-format DSLR from 2013, sold here with the versatile 18-140mm VR zoom. It pairs a 24.2MP sensor with no optical low-pass filter for sharp detail, a 39-point autofocus system, a 3.2-inch swiveling screen, built-in Wi-Fi and GPS, and 1080p video at 60fps. It suits beginners and hobbyists who want an optical viewfinder, long battery life and a broad lens range in one kit. Against newer mirrorless rivals it lacks 4K video, in-body stabilization and a touchscreen, but its optical viewfinder, deep lens catalog and battery life remain real advantages.

Pros
  • 24.2MP sensor without an optical low-pass filter gives crisp detail
  • 39-point autofocus tracks moving subjects well in good light
  • Swiveling 3.2-inch screen helps with high and low angles
  • Built-in Wi-Fi and GPS, rare in this class at launch
  • Long battery life per charge, far beyond most mirrorless bodies
  • 18-140mm zoom covers wide to telephoto without lens changes
Cons
  • No 4K video; 1080p at 60fps is the ceiling
  • No touchscreen and no in-body stabilization
  • Contrast-detection autofocus in live view and video is slow
  • Body is larger and heavier than mirrorless rivals
  • GPS and Wi-Fi drain the battery faster when left on

What reviewers say

Reviewers and owners rate the D5300 highly for image quality, autofocus and battery life, and the 18-140mm kit is widely seen as a strong one-lens travel setup. Complaints center on the slow live-view autofocus, the lack of a touchscreen and the bulk next to mirrorless cameras.

What people mention
  • Image qualityPraisedOwners say the 24MP sensor delivers sharp, detailed photos with good color, even at higher ISO.
  • AutofocusMixedViewfinder autofocus is quick and accurate, but live-view and video focusing is slow and hunts.
  • Battery lifePraisedUsers report hundreds of shots per charge, well beyond most mirrorless cameras.
  • Build and sizeCriticisedSome find the body heavy and bulky compared with mirrorless rivals.
  • ScreenMixedThe swivel screen is useful for odd angles, but reviewers miss a touchscreen.
  • VideoCriticisedVideo is capped at 1080p and autofocus during recording is unreliable.

Questions and answers

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.
