Learn Photography from the Chapter One: The price hits the bottom and you're ready to go: Nikon D5300 18-55Kit Online Shop Out of Box

Inscription: It is not a matter of two days to buy a SLR, but recently the grass began to grow wild. Just to see Zhang Damo’s D5300 offer during the National Day, she quickly sold one. After receiving the goods, I studied and played (actually learned the instructions) for nearly a week. Let's go to a simple safari today. I hope that I would like to help a friend who wants to buy this camera. At the same time, I also count myself as a kind of life record for photography.

First, purchase experience

The decision to purchase the D5300 was also not an impulse. Before that, he basically read all the posts about the purchase and use of the camera by Aunt Zhang’s family. He also consulted with many gods and friends, but given that the budget was under 4,000. , so there are not many cameras that can be selected. Micro-singles that can enter the eyes within the budget include Sony A5000, A6000, Fuji X-A2, X-T10, and SLRs that are Nikon D3300, D3400, D5300, and D5500. Other brands also consider However, I don’t like the reason why I may be watching posts, I don’t want M4/3 systems that are small and satisfy, I don’t want Canon’s moving, and later I think I’m a guy who likes drums and I’m not selected. Sony's micro-single, the final decision in the Fuji and Nikon several machine selection, the final selection of the D5300 is also a variety of reasons: First, the Nikon D5300 SLR various buttons more complete, more powerful than the Sony A5000 ~~~ fuselage Relatively speaking lightweight, good portability. The second is the Nikon D5300 is a carbon fiber fuselage and lens interface is metal, personally think that the plastic shell than the Fuji X-A2 resistant operation. Third, the Nikon D5300 lens more, later do not want to spend money, just practice the hand, if the dog head mirror group is also very powerful, cheap. Fourth, the Nikon D5300 is an old product in 2013, but the main parameters are the same as those of the D5500. Focusing and imaging are better than the D3400. Fifth, the price of the Nikon D5300 is basically in the end. Concerned for a long time, it has now fallen to less than 3,000, in line with its own psychological expectations. Because there is a D3300 this machine's price is there, so it can be within 3,000 is definitely a low price, and then cut prices will not drop too much.

  I was watching the following material to scare the single, thanks to youiyu value friends oh ~ ~ ~ ~ (lost material information has a little mistake, this machine's 1855 lens without VR function )

These two days to prepare to take advantage of two-eleven to buy Nikon Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm F / 1.8G standard fixed focus lens, during the stare price also broke the news of a now lower the price of this machine.

Need to explain is: Tmall Suning Tesco official flagship store price of 2899 yuan to buy a 1855 lens with VR function, but it looks like there is no gift, but definitely more affordable than the Nikon Dibit store I purchased ~~~. Personally think that if you want to buy this kit, double 11 can be ordered, do not have to wait ~~~

Second, open the box

After the order was placed, the merchant used the SF every other day and arrived on the evening of October 10, and received the goods at noon on October 13. The package was fairly OK. Only one corner of the box was slightly squeezed. There are no signs of damage to the contents.

The box is large, there are many gifts ~~~, 16G flash memory card, card reader, camera remote control, hood, cleaning kit, UV mirror, hot shoe level, screen film, camera strap, camera bag, and Zisha cups and so on, a pile of defective goods ~ ~ ~. At present, I feel a bit useless, that is, flash memory card 16G flash memory card, card reader, camera remote control, UV mirror (there are more than no strong), screen film, other quality is terribly bad.

Here is the camera set, this is the most important ~~~~

The camera box is brand new unopened, and the top and bottom one-off seals have not moved marks ~~~

From the side of the box can see the camera body number and lens number ~~~~

After opening the box, you can see that the camera body and the lens are individually packaged, and it is also a one-time seal ~~~

Inside and outside the three packing boxes have a one-time inspection anti-counterfeit labels of the China Quality Inspection Association ~~~~ I actually check the network, shown as: Nikon genuine.

The body package contains: camera body, original strap, charger, individually packaged battery, warranty card, manual, and online registration extension for 2 years.

Lens packaging is also some of the data all have ~ ~ ~ ~, lens with front and rear lens cap, the landlord did not take pictures one by one.

Here is the camera after the lens is installed, and the yellow gift bag.

The online certification or registration, the landlord has been done, it should be authentic licensed ~ ~ ~.

Third, start to experience

Prior to this, the landlord took pictures and took pictures on the following two devices. Canon ixus 130 purchased around 2010, price more than 1,700 yuan, before the mobile phone pixel is not high when using it to take pictures, but now basically no need to use, my moto X phone camera although the white balance is not good, but the canon this card machine white balance seems to Worse, the main thing is that the lens barrel distortion is very powerful, much more obvious than the mobile phone ~ ~ ~ ~; unit has a Taiwanese canon 70D camera, perennial use in the P file, may also be unfamiliar, and feel the body work and Feeling is relatively poor, this is the reason why this entry SLR does not buy canon ~~~

There is also a sony camera at home, with 40G of memory, megapixel. This machine is also rarely used, the current view, the main drawback is relatively slow, camera without anti-shake function ~~~; other functions are good ~~~~

It is commendable that the lens of the camera is Zeiss's ~~~~

So the purchase of D5300 kit ~ ~ ~ ~ how to use, novice did not dare to talk about what the image quality, and so I'm a little experience of this study the talk, let's talk about the operating experience of it.

The first is strong controllability. Although there is no separate design for ISO, aperture, exposure index, etc., these functions can be easily adjusted by the combination of function keys and command dials, but they are more than the higher-level SLR and multi-disc micro-orders. Look at the instructions only, the landlord spent almost a week to read the instructions, and now the camera's basic operations are already familiar with, feel that through two hands with the operation is still very convenient, such as in M ​​mode, Fn (Landlord custom ISO) + The command dial can adjust the ISO value, the flash button + command dial can adjust the flash mode, the aperture button + command dial can adjust the aperture size; the only more painful egg is, the flash button + aperture button + command dial three key joint adjustment Exposure index, this is not very good operation compared to egg pain.

For the system settings need to operate through the multi-selector, select an operation requires continuous pressing the arrow keys to select, this point is more trouble ~~~, but think about the D5500 set the touch screen on such a small screen, according to customary needs thumb or index finger to touch screen ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ this time only one hand and the body, think of all the wrist ~~~ acid, which is the reason I do not have more than a few hundred dollars on the D5500 flowers.

Rotating screen, then do not show up, too many people introduced the word can not rotate rotation than good, do not reveal cable (Fuji X-A2 exposed rotating cable) seems at least to a certain strong ~ ~ ~.

The second is the WIFI function is good, the landlord tried to connect it, you can transfer photos, you can simply use the phone as a remote control, it is indeed very convenient, and the phone supports a simple focus selection ~ ~ ~. The following is the related function setting after connecting the mobile phone application ~~~. The only drawback is that the wifi connection is a bit slow ~~~, and sometimes the display is unsuccessful.

Third, the 1855 close-range lens blur or a little, some people say this lens recommend buying a machine, I had heard suggestions or buy, and feel the need to have a zoom lens.

The following is the only camera display ~ ~ ~ ~, do not like not to spray Oh, after all, is a white, so I practiced for a year, and then I will show you photos ~~~.

The obvious shortcomings that can now be felt are that the D3 and D5 series camera bodies do not have an autofocus motor, so when buying a lens, you must buy a lens with a motor, which can lead to the purchase of a Nikon dog head lens that cannot be purchased at a cheaper price.

In short, the D5300 kit was bought within 3,000 yuan, and the landlord felt very satisfied, after all, the price was there. If the D3300 body can be reduced to 1500, 1855 sets of functions down to 2000, then the D5300 1855VR kit may be reduced to 2500 yuan ~ ~ ~, is it possible? I think it is impossible, now the price is 2900 yuan is close to the low price, and then we must stop production. Personally think that 3,000 yuan kit to spend 2,000 yuan to buy a 55-200mm zoom lens and 35mm fixed-focus lens, enough for my novice practicing ~ ~ ~.

Such as training for the last three years or so, there is a certain foundation, and then re-invest to buy a higher-level camera with new features it depends on more cost-effective ~~~~, because the progress of science and technology who can not tell ~~~.
