Nikon D5300

The Nikon D5300 is a more advanced successor to the five-thousand-inch single-lens mirror series designed for demanding and creative users who can take advantage of all the options offered. The D5300 boasts enormously enhanced ISO resolution (up to 12,800), Nikon's exclusive new EXPEED 4 image-processing engine, 39-point AF autofocus, and 2016-pixel RGB exposure sensor. It can take great photos while also shooting movies. No other camera can match its ability. The basis of all this is a DX CMOS image sensor with 24 million pixels promising vibrant images with distinctive colours, low noise levels and subtle tonal gradations. The high dynamic range (HDR) offers highly detailed, high-contrast images by combining two images taken at once. The built-in dual dust reduction system with the image sensor cleaning unit and the airflow control system in the mirror box will help with maintenance.

For composing pictures, the user will surely appreciate the three-inch swivel display with an electronic viewfinder. Choosing a scene mode automatically optimises settings to suit the selected scene There are also several shooting modes for face detection. Continuous shooting captures fast-moving actions up to 5fps. In addition to normal photos, it is also possible to capture Full HD video at 30fps. You can apply a variety of effects and enhancements to your photos and videos. Demanding users will also appreciate the support of professional RAW graphics. SDHC / SDXC memory cards are used as recording media. Power is provided by the supplied Li-Ion battery. The D5300 is already equipped with a WiFi and GPS module to record the position when shooting. The already rich capabilities of the camera can be enhanced by connecting other accessories such as different lights, microphones, or a remote control with it.

Only the camera itself and common accessories are included. Lens sold separately.
