Hi all
It's my first post
I thought i'd share (following a few months of good use) my impression of my D5300.
My perspective is from someone who mainly takes photo of their young kids + travel photo, and also someone who've had some fair experience with different DSLR (since 2006), mirrorless and compact cameras..
[ Pros ]
- very compact / light for a DSLR, while still maintaining good grip
- very good PDAF, AF-S (very reliable as long as lens/body is calibrated) and AF-C (tracking works quite well).
- Shutter sound is quiet for a DSLR (only K-5 is quieter among all other DSLRs in my opinion)
- 24 MP sensor, best in class among DX (great DR, gradation and noise control for its class)
- Video very good for a DSLR
- 3.2" LCD screen, best in class
- Wifi (and GPS) useful for those who want to use it
- Instaneous start-up time (a norm for DSLR, but keep in mind now many people shoot mirrorless, where many take long enough to be an issue for missing a moment)
[ Cons ]
- small viewfinder, although slightly better than D5200. Brightness is not bad though which makes up partially...
- buttons and dial feel quite cheap (afraid it might one day give-in)
- only one command dial + limited buttons (ironically this becomes less an issue when you shoot RAW as there is less parameters to fiddle and check during shotting in RAW - changing AF setting is still one tempo slower)
- default JPEG skin tones (or auto WB), while improved compared to Expeed3 generation, is still not the best-in class (after 1 months, i switched to only RAW due to this reason)
