    You can also get a refurbished D5500 (body only) for about $500 which is another option if you want the touchscreen over the GPS (compared to the D5300) and don't mind losing snapbridge (compared to the D5600).

    Variable aperture lenses are really the bane of my existence. I used one as my main lens for 5 years and then upgraded to a sigma 18-35 f/1.8 and it's soooo awesome to be able to zoom with a constant aperture.

    Excellent advice, I have the D3100 and I need a second camera before I replace it, can't go even a day without my camera now. The 5300 will let me use my lens and batteries which is a huge plus, I have 3 nice batteries that seem to work all day, I'll probably get 2 of the D5300's and sell my D3100. I need longer glass now, I love shooting birds and my 55-200 just is too short. Used your F11 rules to shoot the moon the other night, best results I have so far, thanks so much for all your videos, you and your wife do an amazing job!

  • @suppercanes
    @suppercanes 8 лет назад +7

    I just got the D3300 instead (I wanted A6000 initially but way beyond budget) and I can say I'm surprised by the photos it takes, even with the measly 18-55 lens. Indeed, I do intend upgrading to a 35mm 1.8 or who knows what else, but, for the time being, as an amateur photographer, I really appreciate the camera. I could have used the amenities of the D5XXX series, in truth, but I'm not complaining either. There's a huge price difference in here (Romania, precisely) and it's outright a big step-up from the smartphone camera quality. Just my side of the story, any dSLR you get is going to amaze you for a first-timer.

    I really like the review because you talk about all the ups and downs, advantages and disadvantages. I made a mistake buying d3400 watching other reviews. they only talk about what you are searching for. But this is really really helpful and really appreciate for talking about d5300. Thank you very much for telling all teh facts of all the cameras

    I recently picked up the Nikon d5300 from Costco bundled with the new AF-P 18-55 and AF-P 70-300 lenses, Nikon bag, and 32gb SD card for $600 brand new! This is my first DSLR and I'm coming from a smartphone as my main camera....and boy is there a difference! The picture quality is amazing and the articulating screen definitely becomes useful when taking those low level shots. This is a killer camera for the price and I highly recommend it.

  • @joeweaver5712
    @joeweaver5712 8 лет назад +2

    Great video as always Tony - your videos and book are invaluable since I've decided to get seriously into photography last year. However, I think the D5500 would make a better bang-per-buck recommendation than the D5300. For a very similar price new (less than $80 between them), you're getting touchscreen (which the D5300 doesn't get and is antiquated as you noted!), better build with a more comfortable grip, lighter, and about 30% better battery life. The decision to drop GPS was an odd one, but for most people looking at entry level cameras such as these, I doubt GPS is towards the top of their list of priorities anyway.

    I've been debating the between getting the D3500 and D5300 (both are the same price currently including a 70-300 on top of the kit lens), this finally answered my question. Thank you.

  • @rashmilulla2668
    @rashmilulla2668 7 лет назад

    Tony & Chelsea I have always liked your videos. The Nikon D5600s interactive navigation and articulate flexible flipping screen gives it an edge over Nikon D5600. Faster focusing, bracketing with a built-in shutter makes a big difference in getting the exact lighting and shots of the scene. Specially for this feature in D5600 it would be preferred to D3400. However, the cost also plays a factor. Where Nikon D3400 is only for $300, Nikon D5600 is for a costlier for $500. N140 can be preferred specially for the zoom range. However, it is refurbished but it comes with a warranty.

  • @putinpuppet2063
    @putinpuppet2063 6 лет назад

    This video helped me a lot.
    I just got a Nikon D5600,
    made that choice based on audio jack (for external microphone), touchscreen & flip out screen.
    Almost got a Cannon Rebel T6, or a Nikon D3400.
    I'm glad I didn't because they have no external microphone jack, or touchscreen, or flip-out screen/monitor.
    The lens is noisy / cheap on the Cannon T6 as well, according to other YT videos.

    @encodersofia 5 лет назад

    Now that is a great advice! I have slowly and painstakingly made the same conclusions prior to watching this video. Bought D3400 + 18-55, didn't get enough zoom, sold 18-55 a bought 18-140. Shooting close to the ground is real p.i.t.a. with D3400. Now i'm looking for D5000 series. I should have bought D5300 + 18-140 from the start

  • @ToXXeRR
    @ToXXeRR 8 лет назад

    Started with d3300 a year ago - learned how to do all the things that other cameras have built in. now i really know how bracketing works and how painful it is to do many other things. as a start camera i'd say its great price, to see if you can do photography or not. then its time to upgrade and i'd say you need to know what you will do - travel/sports/nature/landscape as for all of these there is a different type of camera.

    Hi Tony...This is Sayan From India it was a great video. the only one in RUclips which tells the truth. I was actually expecting you to tell that the 5300 is a better choice.. I m a proud owner of this camera since last 2 years and I can confirm everything that u said is 100%true. 5300 is way better then any of this considering the usability and price point. Oh and i just bought your Book Stunning Digital Photography. It's really awesome.. Learning a Lot.

  • @MrMoonpie001
    @MrMoonpie001 8 лет назад

    I appreciate your honesty on these two cameras, it almost leads me to wonder if Nikon is going backward or just plans on supporting the full frame segment in the future?? I am new to photography and the camera I chose was an older model also a Nikon D5200. This is really a split decision for some but for me, it was an easy choice. I had to loose some of the more popular upgrades to be happy with this camera, it does not have touch screen (I hate them, got fat fingers), wireless (No big deal) I have always hardwired, shoots in 1080i (don't care no 4K TV at my house) and the biggest downfall has to be short battery life (Extra batteries are less than ($10 a piece)! This camera does have the movable back viewfinder in live mode, bracketing, came with 2 good lenses, brand new in the box with many other throw ins for less than $350.
    Works for my needs and budget! Plenty more of these d5200s out there!!!!
    Thanks

    After being out of photography for about 20 years I love my d3400. Issues such as touch screen and articulated screen were not issues and certainly not something that I would have paid extra dollars for. D3400 has full manual functionality and the menu is not that hard to work through. So far used it for family, sport, wildlife and architecture. Also has on camera editing features. Not as basic a piece of kit as people suggest.

  • @Penguat
    @Penguat 8 лет назад

    I'm totally with you on the 18-140, they are a tiny bit more expensive in the uk - about £240 from a reputable supplier - but I love mine, the image quality is ok although noticeably soft on the long end, and it's the first lens I bought where I can see further through the lens than I can without it!

  • @slaphead55
    @slaphead55 8 лет назад +40

    If the touch screen is important go for a used D5500. The 5300 has the flip out screen but isn't a touch screen. The 5500 doesn't have GPS though so, if that's important, go for the 5300.

    • @Jonathan-rh5mc
      @Jonathan-rh5mc 8 лет назад

      GPS is cooler to have than a limited touchscreen, imo. Battery drainage is the only downside to that.

    • @Jonathan-rh5mc
      @Jonathan-rh5mc 8 лет назад +1

      Its nice to have, sure
      But If it was fully touchscreen and worked as good as a smart phone, I would agree with you about the oddity of not wanting a touchscreen.
      I just think, If people need a touch screen, get a Sony. Nikon and Canon are just too far behind in this realm. As of now, people are paying too much for not so good tech for the 3400 or 5600. In terms of tech performance/per dollar...It's overpaying no matter how you slice it because it feels like outdated technology. If you are going to feel outdated. Might as well pay less for it.

    • @TheChameleon2008
      @TheChameleon2008 8 лет назад +4

      LOL, its nice to have but to almost pay double is NOT. So 5300 is the best pick for a starter.

  • @elvinlewis4233
    @elvinlewis4233 7 лет назад +1

    Lovin' my D5600. Got a deal on Amazon for $599.00. (New) with the kit lens. I purchased several other lenses because unlike Sony, they were cheap. I think it's a very under rated camera, and bests more expensive models in features and mega pixels. It's also very small, like a mirrorless. The perfect entry level camera in my view, and "some" pros even use it.

It's not so bad on this one but another one I saw it was really distracting. You could do with a proper shockmount on the mic... and/or a cushioned area on the table for putting stuff on :) Anyway keep up the good work, you're my number one source of camera info :)

    Interesting, I've been pricing an upgrade to my D3400 and was considering the 5600 and the 7200, but then saw you can get a D5300 body for under $400 now and was strongly considering that. This video has somewhat affirmed that thought process for me.

  • @strongandco
    @strongandco 8 лет назад

    If you don't have a touch screen, program the multiselector centre button to magnify to 100% during playback and navigate with the multiselector. Its quicker than a touch screen for reviewing and makes it redundant. Touch screens aren't the big deal they are made out to be, they just end up with finger print smudges all over them as this viideo demonstrated.

  • @Enlightenment_2025
    @Enlightenment_2025 8 лет назад +1

    I agree D5300 is the best deal. D5200 has banding issue so the latter model D5300 is a good choice. Also, D3400 series cameras has slightly more compressed raw file to reduce file size than D5600, D7200 series cameras. Overall, D5300 series cameras are the best deal among Nikon consumer cameras.

    I don't understand why Nikon took out the external mic port with the D3400 when the D3300 has it. Also, why doesn't Nikon start incorporating an articulating touch screen to the D3xxx series when the Canon T5i has it and it's an entry level camera?

    I had lumix G6 that I bought used and after a few times using it, the shutter would not close and I got the error "please turn off your camera and turn back on" To get it fixed would cost me another 200 +. Whatever type of camera a person wants to get make sure your local photo shops will fix that brand. I live in Milwaukee and they only fix Nikon and Canon. After my nightmare with a used camera, I'm leery on buying a refurbished or used one. Im going to master my D3400 before I move up.

    I do lots of close ups and could not live without the touch to focus on the touch screen. I have that on my D5500. I also use the articulating screen often. D5300 does not have either and that would be a deal killer to me.

    for all those saying they are so glad they didn't buy a d3400, first of all the battery life is amazing 1700 shots on the d3400 and on the d5600 its 800 shots its also recommended that you need to charge the battery on the d5600 for 8 full hours compared to the recommended time on the d3400 witch is 2 hours huge difference if you're shooting for the hole day or are doing astro photography the focus on the d3400 i admit is terrible but there is one small thing that makes up for it, the time mode in manual allows you to have a custom shutter speed without holding the shutter down like bulb mode so you don't need to buy a remote witch is why there is no remote port on the d3400 (just notice i don't own a d5600 so i dont know 100% if it didn't have a time mode but im pretty sure it doesn't correct me if i'm wrong)

    You can tag your photos with GPS using the phone so the GPS part is really not a big problem some people don't want GPS location data some do. I use the image transfer with SnapBridge and don't have any issues at all its pretty quick a little slow on the raw images but the social network upload images are good

    Still feel like going with a cheaper camera then buy a good lens is the way to go for me. Right now I have the D3300 with a Sigma Superzoom lens, helps me learn photography and also cover a wide range of possibilities since I travel a lot and don't like too many lenses

    • @joyjoyoo

    Hi Tony.. Love your videos.. I have watched videos even 3 years old. You explain it great.
    One thing that you need to include in review of these Nikon cameras are remote shutter use..
    If you use remove shutter.. Articulating screen isnt much help. Give that a try..
    I wish Nikon would hear from you and make the changes in this area. It would be great.

    Costco has the D3400 with a 70-300 and 18-55 vr lenses and a bag, and an SD card, and 2% cash back for $499. It's a steal.

  • @erickdperezr
    @erickdperezr 8 лет назад

    The price difference between the D5300 and D5500 is about 100 dollars, and in your previous videos you talk about how important is to have a touchscreen and how frustrating is that more expensive cameras do not have this functionality, but in this video, you are saying that saving 100 is better than a touchscreen. Can you elaborate on that Tony? Isn't it more easy the touchscreen to touch focus, review images and go through the menus? Or is this not such a difference between this 2 models?

    How about the GUI of them? D5300 is an older camera. Except for touch screen, has there been any change between D5300 and the newest generation (I guess you could say) D3400 and D5600 that makes the D5300 seem hard to work with? Have any firmware updates been made for D5300 that perhaps makes it better in the GUI (if needed)?
    When you have gotten the focus right etc, is the video quality (1080p/60fps) the same among all? Sound will be handled separately so no worry about mic.
    I like to always buy the newest generation of tech stuff when I'm getting something so it feels weird to go for such an "old" as D5300 even though it seems that things doesn't move so fast in the DSLR world.
    Among the stores I'm looking at the D5300 is 16.7% more expensive than the D3400. The D5600 is 62.1% more expensive than the D3400. When Tony talked about differences I could come up with some reply "no that is not important for me" for nearly all differences. So D3400 or D5300?

    According to Nikon, when I bought my Refurbished D500, the warranty is only for 90 days. I think that is the standard warranty for Refurbs.

    • @garynaka5625

      That is what I also see on the Nikon web site.

    I just asked my wife for the D3500 for Christmas, as an upgrade to my D80. My daughter has a D5600 and I’ve seen others’ photos from both - you cannot tell them apart. I can’t afford the extra cost for a silly touchscreen and I personally do not like pop-out/swivel screens. I have one on my Canon camcorder and I hate it. I never use the screen for shooting anyway, I always use the viewfinder. It worked just fine for Ansel Adams. :) I think the D5600 is way overpriced for an entry level camera.

    Dear Tony & Chelsea
    May you please do a full review on Pentax K-70 cause I am kinda falling for it.
    I am a Nikon user and I am struggling to find a cheap wide angle solution for my Landscape shooting. I was thinking of canon 10-18mm IS but I forced myself to use a Samyang /Rokinon 10mm for Nikon F to solve the puzzle until I see the Pentax K-70.
    I was never a fan nither watched any review of them except loved Kai Wong's happy sarcastic presentation even if it's anything.
    So I think, well I guess that K-70 has more in the box for me for Landscape shooting and I do videos rarely and I might use a Xiaomi Yi 4k for video although I love the new dual pixel thing which 80D and T7i has.
    Inspired by your all the videos and instructions and everything you tried to say, I am determined to get what is required rather than having little bit of everything and having something that I may not use at all. Yes the Psychological battle that all the advertizer and marketing people puts in our head that always keeps us hypnotized and you help us out from that.
    So long story short, can you please please please do a review of k-70 with comparison with um well T6i / T6s / D5500 / D7200 on a landscape shooting perspective.
    Thank you so much for reading.

    Do you still stand by the conclusion of this video, that the camera to buy would be a D5300? I want to get into vlogging, want the microphone input and articulating screen. I would prefer a camera with 4K video capability. Any ideas? I am a subscriber, and truly appreciate your channel. Thank you!!

    In the past 2 months, I've read alot about nikon camera entry level and I've seen a lot of videos about it to build my opinion, find the best one for my needs and also increase my knowledge about photography. I think the D5300 is probably the best Entry level camera out there at the moment in my price range. But lately, I ask my self : "Why would I need wifi? I will drop it on my PC and edit them in lightroom or photoshop. Why would I need GPS? To know where I take picture to comeback eventually.. or not. The D5300 seems awesome, but I feel like the GPS and Wifi will consume my battery way to fast.
    What's your thought about it?

    For the D5600 and DSLR's in general, can the focus be locked when in video mode so it doesn't keep hunting around when panning ?
    That's the only aspect that I was looking for over my Sony HXV200, which is not capable of manual focus in video mode.
    Considering the D5600, even though the zoom on all DSLRs are lacking in comparison to the 30x and up capability of the superzoom category. I know I won't be able to use the DSLR to replace the virtual telescope capability of the Sony, being able to read newsprint off at long range.

    No touch screen? No need for it and yes, I use a D5600 and D7200 and rarely use touch. It's really not that much easier and the lcd on the D5600 is FRAGILE. Focus with the D3400 is excellent and never a issue with animals, brds, sports. I'm happier with smaller size and weight of the D3400, especially when hiking and travel. Both have the same excellent image quality.
