QuestionComparison between the D5300 and the d5500
Asked 9 years ago by Earl.
- Answer Both the D5300 and the D5500 are 24MP DX sensors capable of taking crystal-clear still photos and full HD video. They both feature built-in Wi-fi and GPS and can shoot continuously up to 5 frames per second. While they share many similar features, the newer, lighter D5500 includes some exciting new features. The D5500 is Nikon's first DSLR to offer a 3.2-inch Vari-angle touch operation LCD display, the user to choose their focus point via Touch AF, pinch in to check focus and even activate the shutter with the touch of a fingertip. D5500 users can also take advantage of an expanded wide-ranging ISO spanning 100-25,600, which makes it easy to capture great images, even when available light is scarce. Super Vivid, POP and Photo illustration have been added as Effects Modes, and Picture Controls have been enhanced by adding a “Flat” option. Both cameras are ideal entry-level DSLR for the creative photographer ready to take their storytelling to a new level.

QuestionZoom qualityI am purchasing a new camera to take pictures of my daughter during competitive cheer competitions. Most take place in School gyms. If I sat at the top bleachers level or a little farther would the 18-55mm do well to take close up pictures while she is moving fast? Or should I go with the 18-140mm.
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Since you will be a distance away taking pictures - indoors, we would recommend the 18-140. Be aware that you will need to boost the ISO in order to freeze motion. The D5300 makes it easy to do that. It is a SPORTS Scene Mode that will make all the correct settings for you. Be aware, once your camera is in this mode it will disable the flash.

QuestionCan I. Shoot panorama with the d5300
Asked 9 years ago by Rob.
- Answer While the Nikon D5300 DSLR camera has a lot to offer photographers, it does not have a panoramic option on it. If you are looking into getting a DSLR that has a panoramic option you may want to look into the Nikon D3300 DSLR camera. The Nikon D3300 offers high-resolution panoramas, as well as many other options for taking beautiful images.

QuestionI WANT TO PURCHASE DSLR ENTRY LEVEL WHICH ONE ROUGH AND TOUGH BODY D 3000,3300,5200,OR 5300 OR5500
Asked 9 years ago by BIPIN.
- Answer Nikon does not manufacture shock-proof or water-proof DSLRs. While no particular specification is published regarding water or dust protection, our higher end cameras are designed for professional use and can withstand the rigors of that type of photography. The consumer level models, while built to withstand normal usage are not as sealed and protected as the higher end models.

QuestionI have a Nikon D70 and would like to use my lenses on the D5300. Are they compatible?
Asked 9 years ago by BJZ.
- Answer The D5300 lacks an autofocus motor. In order to use the D5300, with autofocus, it will require lenses that have built-in focus motors. Nikon denotes these by an AF-S listed on the lens description. If the lenses do not have built-in focus motors, you can still use them on the D70, however, you need to focus manually.
