Pitched above the D5200 (which will continue in the range), the D5300 uses a 39-point AF system with nine cross-type sensors in the centre.<\/p>\n

The D5300 will cost around \u00a3730, body-only, and is due on sale on 14 November.<\/p>\n

To help improve reproduction of subject detail, the camera’s imaging sensor does not have an optical low-pass filter \u2013 a move Nikon hopes will make the camera appeal to a broad range of photographers, not just its target audience – DSLR newcomers. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The D5300 is made of a \u2018monocoque’ [single shell] structure that does
\n away with a \u2018conventional chassis’, said Nikon UK’s senior product
\nmanager Simon Iddon, speaking at the camera’s London press launch. <\/p>\n

When
\n asked what material has been used to make the camera body, Iddon
\n would only say that it consists of a \u2018special new material’.<\/p>\n

The D5300 is billed as the first DX-format DSLR to feature built-in Wi-Fi and GPS.<\/p>\n

It incorporates an Expeed 4 image processor and ISO of 12,800, extendable up to 25,600.<\/p>\n

Features also include a maximum claimed burst rate of five frames per second, and a 1,037k-dot, 3.2in, 170\u00b0-angle LCD screen (with brightness adjustment).<\/p>\n

The retouch menu now incorporates a new D-Lighting option for portrait work, while newly added creative effects include toy camera and an HDR painting option.<\/p>\n

The D5300 comes with a new, more energy efficient, battery \u2013 claimed to deliver 600 shots per charge (compared to 500 on the D5200).<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, AP reported<\/a> that UK consumers have shifted their purchases towards lower specification, entry-level, models, according to market research firm GfK. <\/p>\n
