in April of 2011 we were impressed and gave it our highly recommended award. The biggest change on the D5200 is the upgrade to the 24.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, with the D5200 producing 5 star quality images. The D5200 can also shoot at a faster rate of 5 fps in continuous shooting.
Pros:
  • Produces detailed images
  • Excellent ISO performance
  • Great swivel screen
  • 2 year warranty
  • Fast continuous shooting
  • Works with a number of optional accessories

  • HDR mode is excellent
Cons:
  • Quicker access to options could be provided

Nikon D5200 review

When Sony announced the inclusion of a 24.3-million-pixel, APS-C-sized CMOS sensor in its Alpha 77 and NEX-7, we anticipated that the likes of Nikon would follow suit.

  • Light and compact
  • Competitive high ISO performance
  • 5 fps continuous shooting speed

Nikon D5200 review

The Nikon D5200 is a mid-range DSLR, a streamlined step up from the Nikon D7000. It's geared towards anyone keen for good quality images but without being able to afford a high-end DSLR. It comes as competition to cameras such as Canon's EOS 650D and the Pentax K5.
Pros:
  • Excellent autofocus
Cons:
  • Lack of absolute sharpness in some images
