The 105mm Nikon on a Nikon body is a classic.
I love Tamron and Sigma and Tokina.
But u can’t ignore classic.
It is an all time Favorite combo. Nikon on Nikon!!!

If you don’t have a macro, Tokina makes a 100mm f/2.8 that is awesome.


Buy!

If you feel flush, send me your stimulus check.
I will pick up a nice used Nikon 850

For sports / action, you have a few options, depending on how much you want to spend:

Nikon 70-300mm VR AFP f/4.5-6.3 DX ED - You need to update your D5300 firmware to the latest available to enable support for AFP lenses
Nikon 70-300mm VR FX AF-S f/4.5-5.6 G - older lens, look for a used copy
Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD
Nikon 300mm f/4 AF-S - older lens, look for a used copy, 'extend' with 1.4 teleconverter to 420mm (no VR support)
Nikon 300mm f/4 E PF VR ED AF-S - look for a used copy, 'extend' with 1.4 teleconverter to 420mm
Nikon 500mm f/5.6 PF VR - pretty new lens, used will be difficult to find

The zoom lenses are general purpose including sports, with fast quick AF and VR support and great image quality. They have corresponding non VR versions, make sure you confirm the version you purchase if shopping strictly on price. With your cropped body, they provide a focal length (along with cropping in post) to capture action mid-field for sports like soccer and football.

The 300mm and 500mm prime lenses are investments in serious sports and wildlife photography for pro-grade lenses that will last forever, where shopping for used versions delivers superior image quality at a relatively modest cost (vs how much more you could spend in this category). The 70-300 lenses will need cropping to get to the details midfield, the 300 primes will deliver a higher quality image before cropping as well as providing options to extend the effective focal length. The 500mm will have the other parents looking at you with new eyes.

The 500 mm prime Nikon is a steal at under 5000.

When I had my D7100 I also searched for lens that would work best for me, I tried the 18-300, and some other lens and wasn't satisfied, I eventually went with Nikon 24-70 & 70-200mm lens and haven't looked back, they are full frame lens and work beautifully. If I were you I wouldn't buy another lens, I would rent a lens and try it out first. Some rental places will give you a credit of some of the cost of the rental if you buy the same lens from them. I hope this may help.

The only Nikor in that focal range is a AF-S DX NIKKOR 18–300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR.

I know you are looking for a shortcut - but composition is entirely your choice, and exposure settings are quite variable. My best suggestion is you use an empirical approach and see what works best for you.


This is a very cool answer.
I like “empirical approach”

I am gonna steal it for general use.

After I had the idea I went into my files to find all the elements and composite this image. Dolly, the model always had that sad look. Happy Easter.

The eyes are remarkable.

A lot depends on what type of photography he plans on doing. I shoot wildlife so I us a D500 Nikon. If I was going to shoot landscapes I would shoot full frame. We really need more information.


D500 and 750 should keep our fellow member busy

The Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS line on cameras is also worth looking at. I had a Sony RX100 at one point, but it never felt comfortable. The Lumix models are just a little larger and feel better to me. Trying the candidates in person is important if/when camera stores open again.


Yes!!!!!

For a) pocketsize and b) the various shooting modes and c) captures on RAW, look at the Canon Powershot line for the 'G' series. There's several models, I have the G9X II. Each model number (G1, G7, G9, G5, etc) is a slightly different mix of zoom focal lengths, but the features are much the same. They have in-body stabilization, some have movable screens letting you hold the camera at odd angles. Sony and Nikon have similar models, where price and / or features might impact your final decision.
