"Amazing camera at awesome price.

Nikon has made a compelling DSLR in the D5200. If you like the convenience of an articulated LCD screen and are invested in the Nikon system, it's basically your only option other than the D5100. But that is hardly a limitation, given that the D5200 performs well and delivers very fine images.

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.

24MP; good ISO output; Great swivel screen; HDR mode is excellent

RAW not available when using effects or HDR mode; Slow AF point positioning in Live View

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

Cant comment just yet, but this camera is certainly on my "Wishlist" I currently use a D5000 and the D5200 is the obvious upgrade for me.

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...

Good still and video image quality; Light and compact; Competitive high ISO performance; 5 fps continuous shooting speed; Capable autofocus system

Minimal external controls for adjusting camera settings; Lacks weather sealing of some direct competitors; 95% coverage of viewfinder makes accurate framing a bit problematic

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...
