Two Nikon D5300s for sale. Both in nearly new condition with only about 6,000 shutter activations. Includes full body kit: Nikon battery, charger, Nikon strap, printed manual, eyepiece cover. One box as shown and one refurb box. (I now only buy refurbished Nikon cameras, believing them better than new due to testing. These qualify...they work wonderfully.)

I feel the D5xxx is Nikons most elegant camera because of the fully articulated screen, info screen control system (far superior IMHO to the button based/unreadable green screen of the allegedly more advanced models), and ability to take RAW images. I feel the D5300 is in several ways the finest evolution, with a 24MP sensor, improved info control layout, added button for release mode), WIFI, and included GPS.

ID guy,

Put me on your list that I am VERY interested. I'm away from my work presently and will give you and answer by Thursday, December 21st or earlier!
Will you hold the camera for me please?

Also, shipping?
Also, do you have PayPal?

Is this the camera that has two SD card slots?
And a grid screen that can be turned on and off easily?
Lastly, this is the Body only camera, no lenses?
Will my DX lenses work flawlessly on the D5300?
The lenses are AF & VR, A & M switches too.

Thanks

I have one of these and can attest to it being a great small body camera. While I have gone full frame the last three years, and have about 8 or 9 DX and FX bodies, this is one I will be keeping for a great walk around camera.

1. Will you hold the camera for me please?
They will go to first who pay. But I will let you know if I get immediate offer on 2nd.

2. Also, shipping?
Included to continental US

3. Also, do you have PayPal?
Yes

4. Is this the camera that has two SD card slots?
No. That is D7xxx, up till their latest downgrade D7500, which only has one also. I use 32GB and shoot RAW and never had an issue.

5. And a grid screen that can be turned on and off easily?
Yes...custom setting d2.

You can download the electronic manual from Nikon to see details.

BTW you might see some misleading assertions regarding flash control. You can use the on-camera flash to trigger an off-camera flash in TTL mode. Nikon sells a flap to cover the on camera flash for $15. It lets the camera still trigger the off-camera flash while not affecting the exposure. It just cannot control multiple flash banks because it does mot have CLS feature.

6. Lastly, this is the Body only camera, no lenses?
Yes. Including the stuff in the pic.

7. Will my DX lenses work flawlessly on the D5300?
Yes. Including the latest AF-P lenses. I did the firmware update on both.

I also have a D800. I’ve used the D5300 for walkaround till I went more extreme with Panasonic GM5. It weighs next to nothing but I have to admit the images don’t compare to the D5300. 😞When travelling in National Parks I kept the 200-500 on the 5300 and a wide angle on the D800. That gave me 24 MP on the DX area.

One of the factors in my decision to sell the second one is that there is a D850 in my future...when refurbs become available. The first one is because my wife has come down with a fatal illness and can no longer use it.
