Nikon D5300 Digital SLR Wi-Fi Camera

Nikon D5300 Buy Cheap.jpg">

Nikon just introduced the D5300 DSLR camera, which offers an enhanced 24.2-megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor, EXPEED 4 image processing, Vari-angle LCD, GPS and the convenience of built-in Wi-Fi. The mid-range SLR is compact and lightweight (16.9 oz.), and can easily be packed for a day trip or a planned getaway. The small body of the D5300 affords the photographer the freedom to travel while still being easy to handle and comfortable to use.

The D5300 is Nikon's first D-SLR to feature built-in Wi-Fi, allowing the user to share high quality photos instantly. The Nikon D5300 sends images to the user's smart device, allowing them to share their D-SLR quality photos through e-mail and social media. The Nikon D5300 also includes built-in GPS, another first for Nikon D-SLRs. Now the user can geotag images and allow others to see where life has taken them.

The enhanced 24.2-megapixel CMOS sensor delivers stunning images and HD videos with heightened clarity and detail due to the removal of the optical low pass filter (OLPF). Its 39-point high-density autofocus system with 9 cross-type sensors quickly locks onto your subject, and Nikon's unique 3D-tracking uses the 2,016-pixel RGB sensor to recognize and follow it across the frame.

Features:

• Amazing Low Light Performance - For clean, sharp details even in the most challenging lighting conditions including night games and dimly lit restaurants, the Nikon D5300 covers a wide ISO range of 100-12,800 and is expandable to ISO 25,600.
• EXPEED 4 Image Processing - Nikon's most recent image processing engine drives the rapid response and swift performance of the D5300, while maximizing energy efficiency, reducing image noise and delivering true-to-life colors.
• Scene Recognition System - To further help users capture the image they intend, the Nikon D5300 features Nikon's Scene Recognition System and 2,016-pixel RGB metering system to analyze and recognize the scene. Utilizing these systems results in adjustments to exposure, AF and white balance to deliver the best photo possible, whether it's a landscape or portrait.
• 39-Point AF System - Nikon's quick and precise 39-point AF system works with the Scene Recognition System to accurately acquire and track subjects throughout the frame, resulting in tack-sharp images. Kids too active to pose for a photo or pets chasing after a toy are easily captured in brilliant sharpness for memorable photos.
• 5 Frames-Per-Second - While using the optical viewfinder or in Live View, capture great moments that would have otherwise been missed with the D5300′s 5 frames-per-second (fps) rate.
• 3.2-inch Vari-Angle LCD monitor - Whether shooting above a crowd or getting low to capture the details of a flower, users can explore new shots from a dramatic point of view with the large 3.2-inch Vari-angle LCD monitor. This super sharp (1,037K-dot) screen allows photographers to easily make camera adjustments and read menus, while also allowing them to compose the photo they want clearly when shooting from high or low angles. The rotating LCD makes it easy to capture "selfies" at an arm's length away or frame creative perspectives when capturing still photos and HD video.
• Full HD 1080p Video Capture - Create movies fit for the big screen with Full HD 1080p video capture at 60p with built-in stereo, wide ISO range for high quality videos in any light and improved full-time AF to keep the subject in focus.
• NIKKOR Compatibility - The Nikon D5300 is compatible with Nikon's legendary NIKKOR lenses and powerful system accessories, further adding versatility and creativity.

Nikon Releases Cryptic Teaser for New DSLR Camera

<Nikon D5300 Cheapp>A man stands in an open field, a soft breeze rustling long strands of green grass around him. He gazes out at the landscape.

Though that scene might seem like a perfect opener for a gritty, independent film or a self-reflective novel, it's actually the beginning of Nikon's new teaser ad. Viewers watch a mysterious man, clad in a beige trench coat, as he adjusts something unseen with a couple of clicks. Right when he lifts what we know to be a camera to his face, the scene changes back to him in the midst of the gloomy landscape.

That teaser doesn't show the camera but it includes a very important sound that excited many camera fiends online - the distinct click of an old-school shutter. That small clue paired with one line of dialogue at the end - "It's in my hands again" - seem to hint that Nikon will release a retro-styled DSLR camera.

Little else is known beyond hearsay, with Nikon Rumors conjecturing that the full-frame camera will be called the Nikon DF, for "digital fusion." The post also claims the camera will include the same autofocus system found in the D610 and that it will offer settings for aspect ratios of 1:1, 3:2 and 16:9.

On its official site, Nikon explains the short video as the first in a series called Pure Photography. The videos follow a photographer traveling through Scotland as he "reunites with his creative self during this uniquely ambitious trip."

Nikon refines its enthusiast-level DSLR with GPS-equipped D5300

Oct. 17, 2013 at 8:18 PM ET

The latest from Nikon D5300 Cheap is a refresh of the popular D5200 that doesn't fix anything that wasn't broken, but makes a few welcome changes under the hood, such as adding built-in Wi-Fi and GPS.

The predictably named D5300 doesn't just add extra bullet points to the feature list, though. The actual picture-taking parts have gotten an upgrade as well. Its 24-megapixel sensor has lost the anti-aliasing filter - this optical filter was necessary on digital cameras for years, but recent advances in high-resolution sensors and in image processors have made it obsolete. Removing it can improve image quality, and that's just what Nikon has done.

Also updated is the image processor, which will allow the D5300 to shoot five stills per second, or video at 1080p and 60 frames per second. It's only a small step up from its predecessor, but every little bit counts.

Its articulating rear LCD has also gotten slightly larger, and the viewfinder is a bit better now as well. Again, nothing that will make D5200 owners particularly jealous.

Wi-Fi and GPS, however, might come in handy. Being able to geotag your shots and sync them with Dropbox quickly becomes indispensable, and perks like being able to activate the shutter from your smartphone don't hurt either.

At $800 for the body or $1,400 with a capable 18-140 F/3.5-5.6 zoom, the D5300 is competitive with the likes of Canon and Sony for consumer-grade DSLRs. That said, if none of the new features are calling your name, just remember: pretty soon you'll be able to pick up the D5200 for a song.

Creative DIY Halloween Costumes

Don't want to spend a ton of money on a Halloween costume? Fed up with the limited options that are in stores? Against the idea of being Miley Cyrus?

You're not alone!

If you want to look totally original (and save your hard-earned cash for yummy Halloween candy) then look no further. We've rounded up some awesome DIY Halloween costume ideas that just require a little bit of imagination, a couple of hours and a small budget.

Story continues below the slideshow:

Mary Poppins:

Find a kooky hat, an old floral bag and go through your closet for a long black skirt, matching blazer and a white blouse. Wrap yourself up in a scarf, pick up an umbrella and you'll be "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" in no time.

Link

The Zelda video game character requires a lot of green felt, brown boots, a makeshift sword and shield.

Grumpy cat makeup this month

Paint your face brown and white, make some ears out of material from a fabric store and sport the biggest frown you've ever worn.

Gingerbread Man

There's no need to bake actual gingerbread for this costume. Go the literal route and throw on loaves of bread around you and dye your hair ginger red.

Penny

Get some cardboard and spray paint it bronze, attach it to your head and voilà! You are now a currency.

Grey Scale

Ever wanted to look as if you lived in black-and-white à la "Pleasantville"? Just wear solely black and white and paint your skin grey.

Pregnant Zombie

Flaunt your baby bump by pretending there's a zombie breaking out! Grab an old doll, some fake blood, glue and a shirt you're not afraid of ripping up.

Scarecrow

Do your best Cillian Murphy as Scarecrow impression by cutting up an old sack, sew up the mouth and draw 'X's" on the sewed-up mouth.

"Where The Wild Things Are" - Carol

This costume requires a bit more time and effort, but the results are spectacular. Go to your nearest fabric store and get black and tan material, and make the head, horns and nose out of paper mache.

Poison Ivy

The "Batman" character is actually perfect for Halloween because there are so many leaves to pick from the trees! Glue the leaves to a bodysuit, paint your face with lots of sparkly green makeup and find a cheap red wig.

Red Bull

This one is easy. Get a lot of duct tape, construct it into a dress, paint it blue and cut out the letters Red Bull from a print-out and tape them on the dress.

Pac-Man

Construct the Pac-man out of cardboard and hang it on a black sweater by using straps.

Pretty Skeleton

Paint your skin black with white bones on your arms, chest and face and throw on an old black dress.

Slave Leia

Everyone loves a good Slave Leia! Grab some red felt and cut up dyed-gold cardboard for the skirt and make the bikini out of cardboard or felt.

Elliott From "E.T"

Throw on a red hoodie and grab yourself a milk carton and bike handles. If you can't get your hands on an E.T. doll, put in your pet and wrap a white blanket around them!

"The Hangover"

Even if you don't have a real baby, you can pick up a doll for cheap and wrap it in a blanket around you. Just make sure to wear a pair of sunnies and stick out your gut.

Lucy And Charlie Brown

This super cute idea involves a yellow shirt, a blue dress and a black marker.

Edward Scissorhands

Kink your hair out a bit with a hair curler, paint your face with pale white makeup and a bit of black highlighter on the cheeks and mouth and throw on a black turtleneck and white collared-shirt.

Prince

Give yourself your best jheri curl, paint on a moustache and small goatee and throw on a ruffled and bedazzled shirt.

Lunch, Anyone? Saus

Belgian-style frites and waffles, but condiment is king

The menu at Saus is deceptively simple-sandwiches, salads, fries, desserts. Such fare can be found almost everywhere in Boston. But this small eatery, tucked into a little spot near Government Center, has taken these items and given them an unforgettable kick. How? The secret lies in the restaurant's focus on Belgian street food and its numerous homemade dipping sauces-hence the name.

Saus was founded by two BU alums-Renee Eliah (SMG'08) and Chin Kuo (SMG'08)-and their friend Tanya Kropinicki, after they were laid off from a start-up software company. "We had always talked about food during work, and we joked around about opening a stand that sold French fries," says Eliah. "We were laid off together when the recession happened, and we could either find marketing jobs somewhere else or we could find restaurant jobs." With help from Greg Collier, a School of Management lecturer in strategy and innovation, they opened Saus in 2011.

What they created is a place that celebrates Belgian-style pommes frites and waffles, enhancing both with more than 15 dipping sauces ($.75 each), as well as complimentary homemade ketchup, mayo, and hot sauce, to slather on top of anything and everything. It's a condiment lover's dream.

Saus' inviting chalkboard menu includes the aforementioned hand-cut frites ($4.25-$7), double-fried and served in paper cones, and liège waffles ($3.75), made from dough, not batter, with pearl sugar. Either is delectable on its own, but add a unique sauce and it becomes downright irresistible (for the waffles, there are sweet sauces like salted caramel, nutella, and lemon cream). "We try to utilize our sauces and sandwich spreads to enhance flavor," Eliah says. "Every item has a sauce component to it that really makes it what it is."

To gauge the range of distinctive sauces available, we recommend starting with the three most popular-the vampire slayer, the olé chipotle, and the bacon parm. True to its name, the vampire slayer is packed with garlic, the olé chipotle has delightful hints of lime and cilantro, and the bacon parm-our personal favorite-offers just the right balance of bacon and cheese. You can also take home any eight-ounce sauce for $5.

The menu has more substantial lunch options as well. We ordered two entrées, the Frik and the veggie croquette pita. The Frik ($8), beef and pork, dill pickles, sharp cheddar, and andalouse sauce, is Saus' hand-rolled take on Belgian street food. The ingredients complemented one another perfectly. The veggie croquettes ($6.95), made with potato cauliflower mash, were a fresh and flavorful vegetarian option, packed with subtle flavors enhanced by vinaigrette and samurai sauce.

Saus is deservedly famous for its carefully selected crafted beer list, which features a number of excellent Belgian and American craft beers. Among those currently on draft are Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin, Ayinger Ocktoberfest, and Green Flash Green Bullet. We passed on the enticing beer float (choice of beer and two scoops of vanilla ice cream for $2.50 plus the cost of the beer), but we plan to return to try it out.

Patrons order counter-style and can sit at one of the few narrowly spaced tables. Deep wood accents and bright blue chairs give Saus a sleek and modern look, and the framed cartoon pumpkin strips of Belgium's boy reporter-turned-detective Tintin give the place a playful vibe.

Saus, 33 Union St., Boston, is open Monday to Wednesday, 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to midnight, Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 2 a.m., Saturday, noon to 2 a.m., and Sunday, noon to 8 p.m.; phone: 617-248-8835. By public transportation, take an MBTA Green Line trolley to Government Center. This is part of a weekly series featuring Boston Irene Berman-Vaporis can be reached at imbv@bu.edu. lunch spots of interest to the BU community.
