The Nikon D5300: A Significant Upgrade Over the D5200

When it comes to DSLR cameras, the latest models often bring about significant changes and improvements over their predecessors. The Nikon D5300 is no exception, offering several welcome updates that set it apart from its predecessor, the D5200. One of the most notable differences between the two cameras is the absence of an optical low-pass filter (OLPF) in the D5300. This omission should result in sharper images, thanks to reduced moiré and chromatic aberration.

In addition to this technical improvement, the D5300 also boasts a higher range of ISOs, making it more versatile in various lighting conditions. Furthermore, the camera now comes with 1080p at 60 frames per second, providing smoother slow-motion footage that is Progressive rather than interlace. This is a significant upgrade over the D5200, which only offered 720p at 50 and 60 frames per second. The inclusion of full HD 1080p slow motion in the D5300 makes it an attractive option for videographers.

Another notable feature of the D5300 is its built-in microphone, which adds a new level of convenience to video recording. This allows users to capture high-quality audio without the need for additional equipment. The camera's design has also been improved, with a smaller and lighter body that makes it more portable. The weight reduction is particularly notable, as the D5300 is not only smaller in terms of height and width but also weighs less than its predecessor.

The D5300 also features wireless transfer capabilities, albeit through the purchase of the W1a wireless mobile adapter. This allows users to transfer files directly from their camera to their smartphones or tablets, making it easier to share images and videos on social media or with others. The D5300 comes with this feature built-in, eliminating the need for additional purchases.

In terms of pricing, the D5300 is set to launch at $800, roughly equivalent to £730 in the UK. This price point is slightly higher than that of its predecessor, the D5200, which can currently be found for around $700 or between 450-500 in the UK. However, it's worth noting that prices often drop shortly after a new model is released, so those looking to purchase the D5300 may find themselves waiting for the initial hype to die down and prices to come down.

Should You Upgrade from the D5200?

If you're currently using the D5200, it's worth considering whether an upgrade to the D5300 is worthwhile. While the D5300 offers several significant improvements over its predecessor, including the absence of OLPF, higher ISO range, and built-in wireless transfer capabilities, the question remains as to whether these changes justify the increased price point.

For beginners or those new to DSLRs, the D5200 may still be a viable option. The camera's performance is still respectable, and it won't break the bank. However, if you're looking for the latest features and improved image quality, the D5300 may be worth considering. One thing to keep in mind is that prices of the D5200 are likely to drop significantly after the release of the D5300, making it an attractive option for those on a budget.

Conclusion

The Nikon D5300 represents a significant upgrade over its predecessor, the D5200. With improvements in image quality, added features like 1080p at 60 frames per second and built-in wireless transfer capabilities, this camera is well-suited for both beginners and experienced photographers alike. While pricing may be higher than that of the D5200, it's worth considering whether these changes justify the increased cost.

Ultimately, the decision to upgrade from the D5200 to the D5300 depends on individual needs and preferences. For those looking for improved image quality and features like 1080p at 60 frames per second, the D5300 is an attractive option. However, if budget is a concern, it may be worth waiting for prices to drop after the release of the D5300.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up YouTube saf here on super saf TV and in this video I'm going to be comparing these specs of the Nikon D5300 to the Nikon D5200 so the 5300 has just been announced it's the latest addition to the d5000 series from Nikon and it improves on the D5200 which is a great camera you can check out a full review on the channel there'll be a link in the description right below that like button so do go ahead and check that out if you want a full Hands-On review of the 5200 but what's different between these two well do hit that thumbs up button and let's find out in this head-to-head spec comparison so starting off with the sensor size and resolution resolution wise pretty much similar here 24.1 versus 24.2 you're not going to notice much of a difference here and especially because of that sheer size of images it's going to be absolutely great now the sensor size is the same but the big difference is the fact that the D5300 does not have an optical low pass filter so for those of you who don't know what that is basically an optical low pass filter is on most dslrs and that helps eliminate aliasing distortions on images but not having this gives you much sharper and crisper images so with the D5300 Nikon is saying because of the sheer number of pixels on the new processing engine they've got the xeed 4 versus the xeed 3 you're not going to really notice much of a difference in terms of the a listing distortions so that's really good and it's going to result in more sharper and Crisp Images Nikon are doing this with lots of their DSR they started with the d800e they moved that over onto the D7100 as well now you've got it on the D5300 so clearly it has been successful ISO range has also been increased so the D5200 you've got to 6400 on the D5300 you've got 100 to 12,800 both are extendable to 25,600 although I wouldn't recommend it going up all the way to that so you've got a bit of an increase here the new processing engine should also help get lower noise at the higher isos as well so that's nice to see both of these have quite a few similarities I'm going to quickly run through them we've got 39 autofocus points with nine cross type great to see on this price DS the all those autof Focus points definitely beneficial both the same on here you've got the same Max continuous shooting as well 5 frames a second not too bad and not too great either you've got the same maximum shut speed as well 1 4,000 of a second the same flash SN speed one 200th of a second so pretty standard here 95% coverage so you've only got 95% not 100% like some of the others such as the D7100 both of these have a single SD card slot as well not a dual SD card slot pretty expected for this range of DSLR some improvements com in the monitor so although both of these have a swivel and tilt monitor this is really great in the d5000 series especially if you're doing video getting some awkward angles on things is really beneficial but on the D5300 you've got a 3.2 in screen versus the 3in screen of the D5200 there's also an increase in resolution as well on the D5300 again a welcome change the other changes that you've got is in video as well so you've got the Standard 24 25 and 30 frames a second at 1080p on both of these the D5200 came with 1080i at 60 frames a second so for slow motion that was quite nice but still it was interlace not Progressive the Nikon D5300 is the first Nikon D that comes with 1080p at 60 frames a second so that slow motion is going to be really nice and it's Progressive this time not into lace 720p still at 50 and 60 frames a second would have liked to have seen 720 at 120 frames a second now now that you've got 1080 at 60 frames a second but that's not included here but you know can't be too picky that is a nice Improvement here having that slow motion at full HD 1080p is quite nice and Progressive rather than interlace like we had last time both of these also have a mic in which is nice to see for video now in terms of the sizes of both of these the D5300 although it's got a larger screen actually comes in smaller so it's smaller in terms of the height the width and it also weighs less than the D5200 so it's great to see that they've packed in new features but they've managed to keep the weight lower now in terms of Wireless transfer the D5300 you have to buy the w1a wireless mobile adapter so you had to add that on and that would allow you Wireless transfer so you can transfer files on to a smartphone or a tablet whether it's Android or iOS you also have some remote controls over the camera with your smartphone or tablet the D5300 comes with that built in so you don't have to go out and buy anything additional it just comes built in the package the w1a you can pick it up for about £50 in the UK but it's quite small and it's easy to lose as well so that's quite nice to see that this is built in on the D5300 in a smaller and a lighter package as well now finally looking at Price you can pick the D5200 up right now for roughly about $700 or between 450 to 500 in the UK so quite lower to the price that it launched at initially now the D5300 is going to release at $800 roughly or £730 within the UK with the release day of mid November now here's the thing the D5200 is likely to drop in price further after the release of the D5300 and generally speaking the newer DS as soon as they launch the price is quite high and it does start dropping so those are the key differences between these two cameras the D5300 with some welcome changes you've got the lack of the optical low pass filter which should result in sharper images you've got the higher range of iso the 1080p at 60 frames a second the built-in Wireless controls in a smaller and lighter package so some nice changes here if you've got the D5200 I wouldn't say it's worth selling that and going for the D5300 the D5200 is still a pretty decent SLR and it's going to last you for some time however if you're a beginner on a dslrs or if you're coming from the D3100 or the D3200 maybe then the D5300 is a nice upgrade one thing to bear in mind is as I mentioned the D5200 is going to be dropping in price even more with the release of the D5300 so it might be a perfect time to grab a bargain get a hold of the D5200 once again it is a great DSL so if you are beginning then the D5200 is still a good option so I would recommend that if you do want to save some money if you do want to take advantage of the latest features of the D5300 then I'd probably advise waiting for a little bit just so that hype dies down a little bit and the prices come slightly down but nevertheless a great day so offw what do you think of the D5300 do drop me a comment below and let me know
