Nikon D5200 review: A camera that can keep up with the kids
The Nikon D5200 makes a great choice for family and vacation photographers. The Nikon D5100 is a solid camera with excellent photo and video quality, but relatively sluggish performance tarnishes its allure for me. Nikon fixes that in the D5200 with the same new autofocus and metering systems that debuted in the D600, plus an updated higher-end viewfinder, and the result is a noticeably better shooting experience that makes it an excellent choice for all-around family and vacation photography.
Pros:
- With excellent photo and video quality for its class
- a fluid shooting design and solid feature set
- the Nikon D5200 delivers a lot for the money.
Cons:
- Though it has no significant flaws
- the lack of an autofocus motor in the body limits your lens-selection flexibility.

Nikon D5200
Nikon's a big name in the camera world, and we've got the company's D5200 DSLR armed with a massive 24.1-megapixel sensor to put through its paces. It's a capable shooter, complete with full HD video skills and superb image quality, but does its fiddly controls get in the way?

Pros:
- *Picture Quality *Flip out screen *HDR Mode *Colour depth *Ease of use
Cons:
- *Battery Life could be better *Screen needs cleaning every so often due to fingerprints

Nikon digital camera clicks awsome pictures
I always prefer using the Canon when it comes about camera but I was highly impressed with all the features of the new Nikon D5200. I ordered it right away without any delay.

Great Camera but Nikon support sucks
The 24 MP camera is for the advanced amateur. Has manual settings for artistic photos and program functions for quick shots under most conditions. Now for the downside. Had an issue with a connector on the camera for down loading your photos.

Glad I got it
Performance is much better than expected…and I expected a lot based on camera magazine reviews. I upgraded from a Nikon D40. Images and low noise are incredible. Focus is very fast with a choice of a 39 points system. Customized settings for sharpening, saturation etc.
Pros:
- incredible images and focus speed easy to use as auto very customizable sharpening saturation etc excellent d lighting small form factor
Cons:
- loud lens focus in video mode
