Nikon D5300 video samples.

Bahhhh, I can't understand Nikon. How can they launch a camera and not do at least some simple video samples. Every-time it is the same thing, the camera end up into hands of photography loggers or simple users that don't know anything about video. The sample above is completely blurry. The guy who did it only put everything on automatic and yes 50p because it is higher than 24p :(((( Nikon seems to prefer to guide people towards the D800 as their primary video camera while the D5200/D7100 are clearly superior in many ways.
 
I love the video on the D5200, it's one great camera...worlds apart video wise from the D90. I would hope the D5300 is just as good and a bit more versatile with the 60P

This one isn't much better...http://nofilmschool.com/2013/10/nikon-d5300-1080p-60fps-dslr-video/
nor this (but at least there is some sharpness)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td9d-pt40_k
I remember when the D4 and D600 came out, Nikon presented some stunning video samples.
Makes you wonder why they have put so little effort for the D5300.

The video above does not seem legit at all. This furthers my point about Nikon marketing. you don't just get bad photo blog/website that don't know **** about video, but even worst with people posting false video to get views. As they put sample photos on their website, just at least put some basic sample footage. No need for full featured production like for the D800/D4 if they don't feel like putting some money. Stupid stupid stupid
 

Very impressive high ISO performance and no Fix patter noise in sight. He has test from 800 iso to 25600 on his profile. You can see a comparison with the same shot against the Canon 700D and the D5300 (factoring resolution) is a good 2 stop better. I hope people will review it against other camera like the 5dmark3.
 
Mr. Laing's tests look really good. Very impressive ISO tests. Perhaps its the benefit of the Expeed 4? Yes, a test vs the D7100 or 5dmk3 would be nice.
 
I guess it is a combination of the expeed 4/new sensor and the downscaling pixel binning tech Nikon has been using since the D5200. The main factor is the pixel binning as they are sampling more pixel from the sensor and not just doing line skipping. When lets say they sample 4 or 8 megapixel out of the sensor and then downscale it to 2 megapixel HD format the noise is going to decrease and you will get much less moire/aliasing in your image.
 
On the D5200, FPN only shows when you shoot with an aggressive flat profile (such as my Flaat). If you leave it at neutral and don't dial contrast down, it's all crushed to black and there's no FPN.

Just sayin', because it means you need extensive testing by someone actually looking for this kind of issues to check whether there is a real improvement.

I've seen it in shadow areas (not crushed blacks) of footage shot at the highest ISOs in standard profile. It's not distracting, but it is there and a bit unpleasant. And it means you can't grade. But I agree that we need to see more tests to verify it definitely isn't there in the D5300 (and that moire hasn't crept in!). I'm hopeful though, as stills tests have shown the banding has gone ...
 
I have raise the blacks in vlc and its like there is static noise, I don't know how to describe it. It is not banding its like a pattern on the lower left monitor. Could be that I raise it too much but it look something static, the Canon suffers from vertical banding.

interesting thing, I've compared D5200 to D5300 and they have totallhy different colorimetry..
with absolutely same color settings, looks like D5300 has more static noise, resolution is about the same..
