Pros: Display, perfect to start photographing, menu, sensor, quality, battery life

Cons: Limited in videos, self-timers,

Opinion: I consider it an entry level, for me it was I started photographing with this camera was fantastic, brings out very sharp photos helped me in understanding many things. The tilting display I consider very useful, the sensor of this 24.3 megapixel machine transmits very good colors, obviously not comparable to the D500. To be a 2013 APS-C it had a very good Iso seal, almost like the recent APS-Cs. Easy and intuitive menu. The auto shot I did not use it because every time it was deactivated, when it was on the tripod I had to remember to reactivate every time The auto shot. Videos are not her forte but for these things I call it an entry level because you start gradually and in any case you bring home very beautiful shots.

Pros: tilting display, GPS, ergonomics, sharpness (sensor without AA filter), build quality, photo quality, decent battery life

Cons: decent but not phenomenal battery life, not suitable for making video, slow live view, almost ridiculous buffering, no internal AF engine, viewfinder covers only 95%, no preview of depth of field, a single configurable button, shutter that does not go beyond 1/4000s

Opinion: This was my first REFLEX and 4 years later and almost 50,000 shots if I found it used and at a good price I think I would buy it back, although at this point not so much for the quality of the image (still good if you do not go beyond ISO 3200, with the necessary limitations, especially if you use the optics supplied in the kit ...) but for its ergonomics - in fact, even compared to the D5600, which I recently bought, it seems to be more comfortable and robust. The battery life is good but not great (if you shoot in small bursts with the 70-300mm AF-P VR, you can get to more than 1600-1900 shots with a single battery charge, a little less if you turn it off and turn it back on all the time - on the first use I managed to take about 900 shots - but this depends on many factors, not least that of the state in which the battery is located), but it lasts a little (on the 400-600 shots) if you activate the GPS. Speaking of the latter, I usually find it accurate and reliable, all the files I need have the tag and I did not encounter the problem of missing information... of course, it takes a while to get into operation every time you activate it, but it seems to do its duty. I don't think it's necessary, as someone said, to go to the Nikon site to update satellite positioning information every 15-30 days because otherwise it doesn't hook them up, that's simply not true from my experience – it just serves for more accurate detection. Now, the two biggest problems for me are the slow live view and the fact that the viewfinder covers are 95% of the scene. Here's what I mean by "slow lv": when you frame a subject, if you press the shutter button, if it is not yet in focus it takes a few moments to "hook it", then the mirror drops (0.2-0.4 seconds), then it goes back (another 0.2-0.4 seconds)... but I have partly "solved" by putting the shooting mode on "continuous H". Unfortunately, nothing can be done about the viewfinder, it is usually not a problem but in some cases it is. To know, I would probably have oriented myself to a D7200. The limited buffer is unfortunately another big problem, at least if you try to photograph moving objects and want to get closer to naturalistic photography; it fills up in 2-3 seconds and you can no longer shoot until it empties. As for the videos, it is not the most suitable camera since it overheats in live view, but I do not make many videos so patience. Another downside of this camera is that it does not have the internal focus engine, which would have allowed the use of AF-D lenses and other optics produced in the 1980s. The adjustable display is really useful for selfies or vlogs, or when you want to shoot something at an unusual angle, but frankly I find it easier to use the viewfinder and lower myself so that you have the desired frame. The lack of a more suitable shutter can be felt if you use a TA light fixed, which can be overcome using a good filter, but, in short, forget to use an f/1.4 or even an f/1.8 without if you want to do it in broad daylight. In addition, a button for previewing the depth of field would have been very useful; now that I'm a slightly more experienced photographer, I don't particularly miss it, though. It has only one configurable button, then, but now I have become accustomed to how it is made and even here, I do not particularly miss it. The quality of jpegs is very good and all in all if you shoot in conditions that allow the use of ISO 100, you can not want more. The high ISO seal is good but not great, and unfortunately, in the 4 years I have used the machine, I have had many situations where better sensitivity would have benefited. ISO 3200: acceptable, but the noise is already noticeable, and this with a good fix. ISO 6400: Almost unusable files for me. Rating: 9.

Pros: sensor up to 800 iso, easel detail, exciting GPS (but consuming batteries like a Libyan mig 23 chased by the Americans).

Cons: if you have to use it at easel you have to select the self-portrait with each shot ... in the end you feel like crying... battery when inserting gps, autofocus with little light, useless wifi for shots... it freezes, you lose, etc....

Opinion: I dedicate a review to her because she is one of the few who took home the photos in any condition... it hadn't happened to me in a long time.. I bought it broken on ebay and with a weld I found myself a gorgeous sensor.. which I think is that of the D7100 .... the af points during the day allow you to use it in an emergency as a tip and shoot... the perfect flash exposure.. and GPS is a convenience i've been used to since the Sony A77.

Pros: Complete if you start shooting, good RAW files (Nikon has always been good, as far as I see), price used absolutely competitive, comfortable

Cons: Quite limited if you plan to make many videos (on the other hand there are ml for this), the sensor area overheats a lot in video (and not the screen)

Opinion: Premise. I didn't buy this machine to learn. For the first steps I took an old D3000 (limited time). However, at the used prices that are there today, I would definitely choose this one. It makes honest videos, not great but to have fun it's not bad. Very good RAW file quality, if you shoot in bad light conditions, the file comes to you and this is not a fact to be detractd. It's a reflex that I loved but I also hated it. If you always stay on the basic optics and maybe aspire to something more than just photos with friends, here you start to feel some limitations. In my opinion you have to buy at least one wide-angle to have serious fun with this machine and learn almost everything there is to know. If you want to make more serious videos (perhaps for some customers) forget it. The AF of the video machine is not reliable and also the points are few (only 39). Quality not so high as to justify compensation (in my opinion, but I am a hypercritic). Surely I would take her on the road for photos with the certainty that she does not abandon me or puts me in serious trouble (I was satisfied by the photos I made when I took her to Barcelona). Surely, once purchased, I recommend at least to take a fixed optics or a very bright wide angle. Forget about shooting in a live view, too slow. For the rest, well there is the 7xxx series or the Nikon FF. Ps. Too bad video quality is so limited despite such a comfortable screen. TO BUY IF YOU'RE A NOVICE, THAT'S SAFE.

Pros: quality-price, weight, photo quality, articulated display

Cons: screen overheats a lot when you are in live view, battery that lasts very little, GPS that works sometimes

Opinion: I bought this camera more or less czech and I have to say that I did well to buy it apart for some flaws. I have to say that it makes great photos even in automatic mode, although the best thing to do is shoot in manual mode. The autofocus by day is very fast but in the evening it is a little too slow and sometimes, always in the evening, it does not recognize the faces. The battery is one of its weak points because after about 300-400 clicks it runs out, so it's better to buy another replacement battery or battery grip and with that you can do even 800 shots without problems. The display has a great resolution is comfortable because it is also articulated, although you have to be careful when it is open because it is very fragile. if you use it in live view mode, especially when making videos, after just 5 minutes the screen starts to overheat. I bought this camera with in matched the 18-55 mm. The lens is the worst there can be, of shoddy materials because after 5 months it has already broken and I changed it with a Sigma C 17-70 mm F/2.8-4 and you can not even issue compared to what they give you in combination. In general the machine is very versatile great for those who are novice, bad for those who are a semi-professional. If you buy it know that you need some extra accessories to make it perfect.

Pros: Sensor, ergonomics, weight, quality of files even at high ISO, robustness, GPS integrated, wifi

Cons: Few configurable buttons (one!), Menu a bit 'cumbersome, live view slow, pentaspecchio (no pentaprism), no engine af in the car

Opinion: Taken second-hand (practically unused) to replace a Fuji xt-10.I wanted to regret the jpg ready to use Fuji and instead, despite the sensor a bit 'old, I had to change his mind: it's a still great car capable of producing high quality photos with a dynamic range of absolutely high level already with the 18-55 and with very little noise up to 6400 iso.Ergonomia perfect for me since it offers an excellent grip combined with a low weight and size equal to that of a mirrorless without having the defects (the usual: small body, small keys and unbalance between the camera body and mounted lenses). Even after hours that you carry around not tired.The AF is very good, fast and accurate in 99% of the cases and 39 points are more than good though obviously the sports photo is not his bread also because of the limited 5fps burst. The adjustable screen is very comfortable, robust and helps not just for the most difficult shots while the viewfinder, despite not is a pentaprism (unfortunately% 29 is not too dark and I definitely prefer it to an evf (at least to that of Fuji that in itself was not bad at all). With this 5300 frankly I do not see the advantage of using a mirrorless if not to play with vintage lenses, which I did and I find it fun but that leaves a little 'time that finds. I do not think I'll get tired so soon because for my needs as a simple enthusiast it offers everything you need and even more with very high level performances. if I had to change it I would orient myself on a seire 7xxxx only for the pentaprism and the af in the car to be able to use any Nikon lens: for the perfect rest!

Pros: Lightness, versatility, numerous optics, easy to use

Cons: Slow GPS in the acquisition, slow live view, read subexpositions

Opinion: I had this camera for r years subjecting to all sorts of use .. I have to say that my overall impression is that it is a very good camera, even for the countless features and features it has. Unfortunately, the GPS is one of its sore notes: in addition to the inconvenience of having to download from the nikon site, every 15 days, a file updating the position of the satellites - otherwise it does not hook them - the positioning is very slow if you have the habit of turn off the camera after each picture. On average, every 500 travel photos taken, I found no more than 20% georeferenced .. Also the shot in live view is very slow and strongly discouraged if you have to give a sequence of photos .. For the rest nothing to complain if not perhaps a general under-exposure in scenes in the shade or with overcast skies. Excellent battery life ..

Pros: Wide variety of goals, lightweight, adjustable screen, video at 60fps fullhd

Cons: It tends to overheat quickly under the sun

Opinion: Very light and versatile good when you have to shoot for several consecutive hours, has nothing to envy the big sisters in terms of performance, only sore point autofocus goes a bit slower than the semi-professional equipment but speak just tenths of a second, with latest firmware have placed many problems that plagued this machine as the live view so slow. What about beautiful car.

Pros: Lightweight, adjustable screen, sensor

Cons: Focusing, Live View,

Opinion: Weighs nothing can carry it always around, the expeed4 has her why and swiveling monitor is comfortable (although very nn) the sensor used is like that of 7100 (maybe better) .rnPOI BUT DO THE sorrowful notes, rnho thought about doing qlk snap between the birds, and I noticed that the focus especially if the light fades mmmm does not go benissimo.Allora I said, established that the focus on longish distances nn goes, we use the live View we focus and then snap ... Auguriiiiiii ... if you are using the live view, and go to zoom into the monitor goes to scatti.Pertanto for domestic use, is it ok if we talk about landscapes or nature pay attention.

Pros: compact and solid structure. Controls arranged in a similar way to the D5200 / 5100 etc ... wifi, gps. image quality, faster AF, and more

Cons: Nothing...

Opinion: younger sister of D5500 but with a few differences. The leap in quality by buying the D5300, the D5200 I noticed going from whom I respect a lot and known primarily an abyss from the D5100. When people ask me a valid reflex to start, etc ... I always suggest this! True, the market there are other cheaper models but why not start right away with a valuable product? I use it almost always coupled to the Sigma 105 macro. If you look at the macro picture in my gallery, there is no need to add altro.rnLa SLR has wifi and gps really do not use. 39 AF points are really comfortable. The sensor is fast, there is articulated monitor and the macro is really convenient. What about ... buy it!

Pros: very good sensor, holds well at high ISO, articulating monitor, full HD video at 60p

Cons: few direct commands

Opinion: It 'was my first digital SLR after a past with SLR analog and then digital bridge. I decided to buy it after many comparisons with other cameras on that price range (560 € kit with 18-55mm VR AF-P does not Nikon), and I chose it for the presence of the latest sensor EXPEED 4, for articulated monitor and because among the entry level is the one that allows you to shoot video in Full HD at 60p (in anticipation of learning to shoot some video) .rnPer now I feel good, I use it with a Sigma 17-70 f2.8-4 Contemporary and with Nikkor 35mm f1.8G, are really very satisfied! 35mm with ISO 800 at night offers some truly unique shots buoni.rnLe flaws for those shooting in Manual are the scarcity of buttons for adjusting ISO, AF mode, position etc. so diretto.rnAltre things that would have been comfortable: the slot for the second SD (backup) and the 'internal AF to use the old Nikon lenses. But then it is an entry level, can not be considered defects! RnUn 'last criticism concerns the software to control the camera remotely tramite WiFi: photo transfer works well, but have not yet ever been able to see the monitor and perform the various shooting settings via the app on android ... Almost as if there was not this function, I hope that sooner or then update the application on your smartphone to solve ...

Pros: tilting the display, sensor generally good (not excellent resistance to high iso but decent, sharpness), jpeg quality, excellent quality / price ratio (taken again to 440 €), weight, excellent video (1080 50p) for max 20min, additional functions such as GPS, wifi, battery life

Cons: Camera shake, live view slow, slow buffering, the viewfinder covers 95%, does not support many goals (af-d, and the ais, af old ... pretty much just af-s), it does not have the internal engine of focus, He does not preview in the viewfinder, for some functions you need to expand a little 'hands.

Opinion: Socket 440 Euros, for this price is phenomenal. I state that I am not a professional. Before I had the D3100, D5300 paid about 500 ... this is a whole new world. The tilting display is very useful and convenient, if they did live view faster would be perfect: this is in fact essential for a preview of depth of field, but to shoot in this mode takes almost one second (even at 1/3000 ). The videos are truly remarkable. Suffers from shake-especially on objective non vr ... will be many mpx of DX. But all in all this is compensated by the good performance at high ISO. An excellent machine body, comfortable, with a great sensor (no low pass filter and with 24 mpx that give out details) that produces sharp photos. I do not know the difference compared to D7xxx, but certainly this has given me great satisfaction!

Pros: Sensor, high ISO performance, sharpness even in kit optical, swivel monitor, ergonomics, WiFi, GPS, lightness, quality / price ratio

Cons: af slow in Live View, AF problems with optical third party

Opinion: amazing machine: for what coast offers a stunning picture quality. When combined with Nikkor 35 1.8 G or the Sigma 18-35 1.8. bring home the shots of a crazy sharpness. In my opinion gives the best in architecture and landscape photography, thanks to the resolute sensor and the lack of low pass filter that by a small "plus" in churning out the hidden details, while in sports complaint pictures some limit the shooting interval (5 fps) and for the buffer, even if the af if the dignity quarry. Excellent video quality and the convenient swivel monitor. Rather "hilarious" WiFi and GPS capabilities, especially the latter, which can reveal valuable in hiking allowing you to turn on tracing the movements. In essence: a concentration of technology and IQ by nearly professional machine, all at a very accessible price. The sensor offers the most with the Nikkor 35 1.8 G, the Sigma and Tamron 18 35 1.8 70 200 usd vc 2.8, but with the lasttwo suffer some af uncertainty. In summary: a little gem!

Pros: Compact, pivoting display, 24MP, Wi-Fi, GPS, dynamic range and quality jpg. does not have the sensor of the D7100 or D5500 .. it is a unique model and NOT Sony, held at high iso commendable.

Cons: There are no unnecessary functions, other curious (video thumbnails, for instance). Had the internal engine to use non AF S, you could use a lot more lenses.

Opinion: As the body rides also has "too much quality", lightweight and ergonomic as the second body in the ceremonies (with the handyman Tamron 16-300) it is highly reliable. I find it curious videos in thumbnails and absolutely useless the "night vision" available only with AF in live view. The use with a 800mm catadriottico to photograph the Moon or with 14 Samyang for the milky way with some success. So a versatile body, simple to use. Missing some things, control depth of field, for example, and the engine for optical S Af not but after all if these functions are essential there is the Nikon D7x00. The goal with which works best is the 40micro. New evidence from a distance 5-15 meters with 300 / 4.0 PF and excellent yield, almost prefer the files that bakes in this pairing than those of the D610 - Soon I'll put pictures ..

Pros: Sharpness, adjustable monitor, wi-fi integrated very convenient, autofocus, quality-price ratio

Cons: The Achilles heel is definitely the live view which is really slow making it almost unusable. It would have been nice if they added the button of depth of field.

Opinion: The Nikon 5300 was my first body macchina.Tuttavia I had the opportunity to try other nikon and canon of medium-low and confrontation emerges undoubtedly winner. Its sharpness is exceptional enough to make the pictures with lenses "kit" very sharp. The grip I find it very convenient, even if certain controls are a bit 'awkward to reach.

Pros: Great sensor, monitor swivel, ergonomic handle

Cons: Af points, few direct commands

Opinion: I took the 5300 coming from Canon, fascinated by nitidizza and completeness of this machine. Has absolutely nothing to envy for what they say to the sister 7100, rather than tests the sensor is working better and better, the new xspeed, high pixel density, the complete absence of the low-pass filter, a yield level of definition in general good , a grip slightly closed, compact and easy, allows you to easily reach all the controls unless one does not have the hands of a child. It lacks a bit to have it all and having to fiddle around a direct snap to the additional features. Highly recommended.

Pros: A GOOD SENSOR and autofocus 39 points, along with some interesting funzioi as: Monitor 3.2-inch Vari-angle, Wi-Fi (convenient for remote shooting from smartphones or to publish immediately) and GPS.

Cons: few physical controls but obviously it does not cost as the older sister D7100

Opinion: I bought it as a first camera body and I must admit it was a nice step up from the bridge. The sensor, the same as the D3300 and D7100 sisters, has a very high image quality and is certainly his biggest asset. I decided to sell it because shooting almost exclusively in manual by the time I felt the lack of physical controls on the camera body. For those who would use it not only automatically, decidedly hammer the D7100 (if I azzardado buying this upper body but with the same sensor, I'm sure I would have no regrets). I recommend it to anyone who wants a camera body but basically snaps in Automtiche mode or P, A, S, thus guaranteeing a body from a small size easy to transport (although the small body is not necessarily an advantage).

Pros: sensor, autofocus, monitor articulable

Cons: not autofocus with all AF, dislocation buttons, limit "constitutional" the APS - C

Opinion: This camera is the flagship of the amateur as well of the House, and with these shares the remarkable limit of not being able to control the auto-focus lenses without an engine inside, which unfortunately excludes a number of lenses also recent, in contradiction with the fact that those who buy these cars would save, drawing on the used market for the goals. Having said that, nevertheless presents a plethora of very interesting features in its market segment. The Raw can be 14-bit (possibility denied the D3300), but one can not choose the compression (as in D7100). The points of focus are 39, a record in this price range. The monitor articulable represents a benefit of great use in various situations. As for the sensor, its yield is even better than that of the D7100, as it is interfaced to a processor of the next generation, whose algorithms allow to "shaping" something on the electronic noise. Sore, which betrays its economic origin, is the position very tight angle of the timer button, located at the bottom next to the junction of optics. Finally, the resolution must always be remembered that the high density of pixels and the absence of anti-aliasing filter can nothing compared to the objective concept of spatial resolution: the same goals that we can use in the full format work on higher frequencies, resulting in an inevitable decay yield MTF.
