Nikon D5300

The Nikon D5300 is an F-mount DSLR with a new carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer body and other new technologies, announced by Nikon on October 17, 2013.

It features the new Expeed 4 processor and is the company's first DSLR with built-in Wi-Fi and GPS. It shares the same 24 megapixel image sensor as the predecessor D5200, but without Anti-aliasing (AA) filter, equal to the Nikon D7100. MSRP is only $800 and with kit 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6 is $1,400.

Like Nikon's other consumer level DSLRs, the D5300 has no in-body autofocus motor, and fully automatic autofocus requires one of the currently 166 lenses with an integrated autofocus motor. With any other lenses the camera's electronic rangefinder (which indicates if the subject inside the selected focus point is in focus or not) can be used to manually adjust focus.

The D5300 can mount unmodified A-lenses (also called Non-AI, Pre-AI or F-type) with support of the electronic rangefinder and without metering.
