Nikon D5300 DSLR Camera (Body Only, Black)

Nikon D5300 DSLR Camera

The Nikon D5300 combines high-resolution imaging, powerful processing, and built-in connectivity into a compact, durable body. Designed without an optical low-pass filter, it maximizes detail and sharpness for both stills and Full HD video—even in challenging low-light environments.

Key Highlights & Core Performance

* 24.2MP DX-Format Sensor & EXPEED 4 Processor: Captures images with rich dynamic range, vibrant color accuracy, and low noise across a native ISO range of 100–12800 (expandable to ISO 25600).
* Maximum Sharpness: Omits the traditional optical low-pass filter to extract the highest possible resolution from your lenses.
* Fast Continuous Shooting: Capture fast-moving action at up to 5 frames per second (fps) at full resolution.

Autofocus & Exposure Metering Systems

* 39-Point AF System: Features 9 cross-type sensors for quick, precise focusing from -1 to +19 EV.
* 3D Color Matrix Metering II: Uses a 2,016-pixel RGB sensor to evaluate scene brightness, contrast, distance, and color for consistent exposure, white balance, and flash control.
* Advanced Tracking: Utilizes the 2,016-pixel sensor for 3D-tracking of moving subjects. Offers flexible 9-, 21-, or 39-point dynamic-area arrays.
* Live View Autofocus: Contrast-based AF system featuring continuous full-time servo focusing with Face-priority, Wide-area, Normal-area, and Subject-tracking modes.

Full HD Video Capabilities

* Resolutions & Frame Rates:
* Full HD (1920 x 1080p): Available at 60, 50, 30, 25, and 24 fps

Design & Display

* 3.2″ Vari-Angle LCD Monitor: Crisp 1,037k-dot display with a 180° swivel design, ideal for high, low, and selfie angles.
