Just what I was looking for. A move up from my old camera with the ability to input settings or go fully automatic.

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.

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.
