Nikon D5200 DSLR Review
The D5200 follows Nikon's D5100 and offers a new sensor with higher resolution (24MP instead of 16MP in the D5100). The new camera has an APS-C-sized CMOS sensor and uses a fast and reliable AF system with 39 focus sensors, including nine cross-type sensors.

[REVIEW-NIKON D5200 DSLR and NIKKOR 18–300MM LENS]
This 24 megapixel DSLR is for "advanced beginners" according to Nikon. The internals, such as sensor, image processor, auto focus and auto exposure are similar to the D7000, while the externals, such as viewfinder and body material is not quite up to big brother standards.
