Editorial note

The Nikon D5300 stands out for its exceptional image quality thanks to its 24.2 MP CMOS sensor, allowing for the capture of fine details and vibrant colors. The flexibility of use is also a major asset, with several autofocus and manual focus modes suited to various photographic environments. Additionally, its built-in Wi-Fi connectivity facilitates quick photo sharing on social media, while the 3.2-inch tilting LCD screen offers better visibility for composing shots from different angles. The integrated GPS navigation system allows for easy geolocation of photos, adding a practical dimension to the photographic experience. However, there are some drawbacks to note. The lack of image stabilization can complicate the capture of sharp photos during movement or in low-light conditions. Manual focusing can be a challenge for beginner users who might prefer a more intuitive solution. Although the weight of the device is reasonable, it can become uncomfortable during prolonged use, especially with heavier lenses. Furthermore, the screen, while of good quality, is not touch-sensitive, which may limit interaction. Finally, the maximum video resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, while adequate, may seem insufficient compared to other competing models that offer 4K resolutions. Overall, the Nikon D5300 provides a positive user experience with a score of 78, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of usability and video features. Its performance is rated at 85, highlighting the image quality, while the features and design receive scores of 80 and 75, respectively.
