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.

Consequently, the compact D5200 packs some ‘big camera' specs, giving it broad appeal from entry-level to enthusiast. Converts are probably also going to like the colour of our test camera, which is a metallic-look red finish that's actually very classy in a similar way to the Pentax K-30's blue.

Nikon D5200 Review
The Nikon D5200 seems to be a unique combination of features of earlier Nikon models. Housed inside the body of a D5100 is a high-resolution 24.1MP image sensor from the D3200; the auto-focus 39-point system module from the D7000; and the Expeed 3 image processing engine from the professional grade...

Nikon D5200
The Nikon D5200 is a lot of camera for the money, and though it's aimed at advanced beginners in terms of image quality and capabilities, it's not too far removed from DSLRs geared for more serious photographers.

[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.

Nikon D5200 review
Like the Nikon D5300 that replaces it, the Nikon D3300 below it in the Nikon SLR range and the Nikon D7100 above it, the D5200 has a CMOS sensor with 24 million pixels. However, some may be surprised to learn that Nikon doesn't use exactly the same sensor in these camera.

Buy the Canon
Have owned Nikon and Canon. This camera has some good features but is only as good as it's lenses. Canon has a much broader variety of lenses and are compatible with several other lens manufacturers where Nikon does not.
