Nikon D500 DxOMark Sensor Scores
DxOMark is a benchmark for evaluating the image quality of camera sensors scientifically. DxO Mark evaluated the Nikon D5300 sensor and gave it an overall score of 83 for its ability to produce high-quality images. The specifics of their examination of the Nikon D5300 are available here.
Anti-Aliasing Filter
The absence of an anti-alias (Low-pass) filter on the sensor of the Nikon D5300 is a significant characteristic. While removing the anti-aliasing filter improves sharpness and detail, it also increases the likelihood that moire will appear in some scenes.

A fully Articulated 3.20-inch LCD screen with a 1,037k-dot resolution is featured on Nikon D5300. When opposed to just tilting or fixed screens, articulated screens are more video-oriented. However, people who are interested in photography tend to like tilting screens. The 3.20″ screen on the Nikon D5300 is larger than typical and has a resolution that meets class standards.
Because of its Selfie-friendly screen, the Nikon D5300 will make life easier for those of you who enjoy taking individual or group selfies. Vloggers and any other single-person video production teams will benefit from the LCD screen of the D5300 as well.
Focus
| Autofocus | Nikon Multi-CAM 4800DX autofocus sensor module with TTL phase detection, 39 focus points (including 9 cross-type sensors), and AF-assist illuminator (range approx. 0.5 to 3 m/1 ft 8 in. to 9 ft 10 in.) |
| Detection range | -1 to +19 EV (ISO 100, 20°C/68°F) |
| Lens servo | Autofocus (AF): Single-servo AF (AF-S); continuous-servo AF (AF-C); auto AF-S/AF-C selection (AF-A); predictive focus tracking activated automatically according to subject status Manual focus (MF): Electronic rangefinder can be used |
| Focus point | Can be selected from 39 or 11 focus points |
| AF-area modes | Single-point AF, 9-, 21- or 39-point dynamic-area AF, 3D-tracking, auto-area AF |
| Focus lock | Focus can be locked by pressing the shutter-release button halfway (single-servo AF) or by pressing  ( ) button |
The D5300 has excellent onboard intelligence and metering, allowing you to concentrate on shot composition and, most importantly, the moment that is happening. The excellent Scene Recognition System on Nikon’s cameras analyses your shooting environment compares it to a database of thousands of scenes and then chooses the best auto exposure, i-TTL flash exposure, white balance, and autofocus settings automatically.
Autofocus
| AF Touch | NO |
| AF Continuous | YES |
| AF Sigle | YES |
| AF Tracking | YES |
| AF Selective | YES |
| AF Centre | YES |
| AF Multi-view | YES |
| AF Live view | YES |
| AF Face Detection | YES |
| AF Contrast detection | YES |
| AF Phase detection | YES |
| Number of focus points | 39 |
| Number of cross focus points | 9 |
Both the Contrast Detection and Phase Detection autofocus (AF) technologies on the Nikon D5300 guarantee quick and precise focusing in the majority of circumstances. 39 focus points make up the AF system, 9 of which are cross-type sensors. Compared to single-type sensors, cross-type sensors are faster and more accurate at locking focus.
Additionally, the Nikon D5300 has face detection autofocus, which automatically locks focus when it detects faces in the frame.
Bring stunning 1080p Full HD films up to the image quality the D5300 achieves—softly blurred backgrounds, razor-sharp details, and bright colors. Nikon’s continuous autofocus follows and maintains the sharpness of your subject in Live View.
Your films will have high-fidelity sound thanks to the built-in stereo microphone, or you may upgrade to Nikon’s optional accessory ME-1 stereo microphone for the best audio quality.

You may capture videos with the Nikon D5300 at a maximum quality of 1920 x 1080 at 60, 50, 30, 25, or 24 frames per second and save them in MPEG-4 and H.264 codecs. In most circumstances, the Nikon D5300’s full HD resolution will be sufficient.
A Stereo microphone and a Mono speaker are also included within the D5300. Additionally, the Nikon D5300 contains a connector for an external microphone, allowing you to use it to record high-quality audio. However, it is unfortunate that there is no headphone jack.
Compatible Lenses
| Compatible lenses | Autofocus is available with AF-S and AF-I lenses. Autofocus is not available with other type G and D lenses, AF lenses (IX NIKKOR and lenses for the F3AF are not supported), and AI-P lenses. Non-CPU lenses can be used in mode  , but the camera exposure meter will not function; the electronic rangefinder can be used with lenses that have a maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster |
There are presently 316 native lenses that can be used with the Nikon D5300’s Nikon F lens mount. Nikon F mount has one of the widest selections of lenses and has backward compatibility, allowing you to use lenses dating back to the 1960s. Additionally, it is highly supported by lenses made by independent producers.

The Nikon D5300 has a minor drawback in that it lacks an internal focus motor, making it incompatible with older screw-drive autofocus (AF) lenses. Modern Nikon AF-S, AF-I, and G lenses still function flawlessly with the Nikon D5300, while older lenses may not.
