Q: QuestionWould my lenses for a D60 be compatible with this camera?

Asked 8 years ago by Dyechic.

• A:Answer The Nikon D5300 camera is completely compatible with AF-S and new E-type lenses and also has limited compatibility with AI and AF-type lenses. If your Nikon D60 was using any of these lenses they will all work with the Nikon D5300, however, AI and AF-type lenses will need to be manually focused as the Nikon D5300 does not have an built-in autofocus motor.

Q: QuestionI've played with the Nikon 5200 & and I love how clear the pictures are & how it is easy to use. I think I will be focusing more on still shots opposed to action shots for the time being. What Nikon should I invest in?

Asked 8 years ago by Brittany.

• A:Answer Any one of our DSLR's would be fine for still shots. The D5300 is excellent in that it has built-in WiFi so you can - along with Nikon's Wireless Mobile Utility app (free download for both iOS and Android-based smartphones and tablets) - control the camera with your smart device! If you are looking to take portraits you may want to look into purchasing another lens that will give you depth of field you want to control the viewers eye on your photo. Check out the NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8 available at Best Buy for that. It's a great price and a great lens for portraits.

Q: QuestionIs it good for filming? If there is wind in the background would it have terrible sound quality?

Asked 9 years ago by Kylan.

• A:Answer The D5300 has a Wind Noise Reduction setting for Movie Recording. It will minimize the wind noise in your recordings.

Q: QuestionCan I use my old Nikon film type telephoto lens

Asked 9 years ago by Mechanic.

• A:Answer The D5300 does not have a built-in focus motor. It relies on lenses that have a built-in motor. Nikon denotes these type of lens with an AF-S designator. It incorporates Nikon's Silent Wave Focusing Motor. Older film-type lenses do not have this. While the lens would attach to the camera, you would have operate the lens manually in all aspects. Depending on the lens, that would also include Manual exposure.
