Man, Nikon, why??? Whyyyyyyyyyy???<\/p>\n
At the time I was shopping around for my first DSLR, I wanted to get the Nikon D5100 because it had a swivel LCD screen. Well, years later, and having purchased the D3200 instead because that’s all I could afford at the time, I feel it’s time for a little upgrade, but alas, it’s not in my budget.<\/p>\n
What I like about the Nikon D5300:<\/p>\n
-Shoots at 1080p 60fps
\n-24 megapixels
\n-No low-pass optical filter, so image capture is sharper
\n-Price is reasonable (approx. USD$800 for body only at time of my post)
\n-Has swivel LCD screen, better resolution than D3200
\n-Has more autofocus points than D3200
\n-Comes in red (definitely more stylish, as my D3200 is also red)
\n-Longer battery life, more shots<\/p>\n
What I don’t care too much about, but willing to accept about D5300:
\n-Built-in WIFI, might be useful for remote triggering
\n-Built-in GPS, which I’ve read drains battery and I don’t care to use it, I don’t travel much<\/p>\n
What I like about Nikon D3200:
\n-Already own it
\n-Amazing 24 megapixel sensor (6016×4000 pixels)
\n-Comes in red
\n-Confirmed shoots at 7 pics per second on continuous mode (when using Class 10 card), so imagine D5300 with improved speed
\n-Built-in flash, satisfactory
\n-Affordable (approx USD$700 for kit at time I bought it)
\n-Light, almost like a toy; This will be important if you have heavy lenses like telephoto, which I own one<\/p>\n
What I want added:
\n-All the features of Nikon D5300
\n-WEATHERSEALED BODY
\n-Adjusting exposure settings during Live Mode\/Movie Mode
\n-Better microphone<\/p>\n
So, I think replacing my D3200 may be in the future. I’ll have to trade it in to make up for some of the cost of the new D5300 body only.<\/p>\n
What say you? Anyone out there upgraded specifically from a Nikon D3200 to a Nikon D5300? What’s your experience?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
