The Nikon D5300 is an F-mount DSLR with a carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer body[2] and other new technologies,[3] [4] announced by Nikon on October 17, 2013.[5] It is a mid-range camera with a crop sensor[6] and requires a minimum camera 8.3 raw plugin for Photoshop to process its .NEF files.[7]
It features the Expeed 4 processor and is the company's first DSLR with built-in Wi-Fi and GPS. It shares the same 24-megapixel image sensor as its D5200 predecessor, but without an anti-aliasing (AA) filter,[8] equal to the Nikon D7100. MSRP for the body is $800, and $1,400 with an 18–140mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens.[9] The camera replaces the D5200 and is replaced by the Nikon D5500.
This model of camera was involved in the RAF Voyager, ZZ333 incident on the 9th February 2014.
Like Nikon's other consumer level DSLRs, the D5300 has no in-body auto focus motor, and fully automatic auto focus requires one of the currently 166 lenses with an integrated auto focus motor. With any other lenses the camera's electronic rangefinder (which indicates if the subject inside the selected focus point is in focus or not) can be used to manually adjust focus.[11] [12]
The D5300 can mount unmodified A-lenses (also called Non-AI, Pre-AI or F-type) with support of the electronic rangefinder and without metering.
