    The D5300 features some important updates from what we saw on the D5200 like a larger 3.2-inch rotatable display, a new image-processing engine and no low-pass filter on the camera’s DX-format sensor, which should result in sharper images, claims Nikon. Having said that, this camera replaces the D5200, adding a new 24.2-megapixel sensor without an optical low-pass filter, an EXPEED 4 processor for 1080/60p video and 5 fps stills and increased battery life, allows photography lovers to take 700 shots in a single charge, compared to 500 with the previous D5200.
