Nikon D5200

The Nikon D5200 is the upper-entry-level camera in the Nikon DSLR lineup. Slotting itself just above the D3200 Nikon D3200 , it produces similar-quality images using a similar design. It incorporates a unique-in-its-class 39-point AF system with 9 cross-type points.

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 under-$1,000 Nikon D5200 is a capable D-SLR that delivers impressive image quality and continuous shooting at 4 frames per second, earning it our Editors' Choice. The D5200 ($799.95 direct, body only) is Nikon's mid-level consumer D-SLR camera, offering more features and control than the entry-level D3200, but not quite rivaling the more expensive D7100. It's an impressive performer, shooting continuously at 4 frames per second and delivering clean 24-megapixel images through ISO 3200. It's not the without its drawbacks—the viewfinder isn't as large or bright as in some other SLRs, and it doesn't offer full compatibility with older Nikon lenses. But it's certainly good enough to displace its predecessor, the D5100 as our Editors' Choice for digital SLRs priced less than $1,000. Design and Features The D5200($748.00 at Amazon) is rather compact for a D-SLR, but manages to squeeze quite a few controls into its small body. It measures 3.9 by 5.1 by 3.1 inches and weighs 1.1 pounds without a lens. The Pentax K-30($693.00 at Amazon) is just about the same size, varying by a tenth of an inch at most, but is heavier at 1.4 pounds. The extra weigh...

Nikon D5200 Review

Nikon's D5200 sits in the middle of the most current triumvirate of Nikon cropped sensor DSLRs - the D3200, 5200 and 7100. Its MSRP is $100 more than the D3200 but it offers an articulating 3 inch monitor, an extra frame per second in its high-speed continuous shooting mode and a more advanced...

Nikon D5200 review

The Nikon D5200 with its 18-55mm lens kit is a high-quality introduction to the possibilities of a digital SLR camera.

This is a very good mid segment SLR, which is nice to use, delivers great results and offers specifications that were only offered by top-end SLRs a few years ago.
