Upgrade from a D5000, and it is a substantial upgrade: 24.2 megapixel sensor; standard ISO at 100, reaching up to 6400 ISO; built-in HDR, 5 frame per second burst; 39 focus points; larger variable tilt LCD display (hinged on the left side-more useful when mounted on tripod), and shutter release mode...

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.

The Nikon D5200 makes a great choice for family and vacation photographers.

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.

Though it has no significant flaws; the lack of an autofocus motor in the body limits your lens-selection flexibility.

It's a fun investment in memory saving and money saving by buying refurbished. The 90 day warranty is a little short for my likes but the camera is perfectly fine, no scratches, no dents, no dings. The lens is great, the battery charged perfectly.

Working with a JVC Pro HD video camera for work all day I needed something to capture all of these events for myself plus a little fun on the side; This camera offers all of the fun features like color selection and miniature mode that folks always seem to want but the main thing I enjoy is the...

The menu options and being able to change everything does take some getting used to but it's only a matter of time until you master it; Video recording picks up on the noise from zooming, didn't hear any focusing servo noise, just zooming in and out.

I purchased this Nikon D5200 24.1 MP body only about 4 months ago. I have taken some college photography classes so I would recommend this camera for someone who is semi-pro or at least with some experience.

Lots of features; beautiful display screen

Too many features for someone without knowledge of photography

I recently bought this camera in a Christmas sale and I have been playing around with the settings. I upgraded from a Nikon S8100 point and shoot, and I am having no trouble whatsoever working out how to use it.

After using another well branded camera I decided to down grade to the Nikon D5200, I have found this camera to be excellent for the price and also it would easy to use for any new photographer.

Love the articulating display. Takes awesome videos. Great pictures also.

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.

This one is a big value for money. Super features, great image quality, portable and easy to use. Got this baby some time back and I must say that it has stellar image quality. Lot of my clicks were greatly appreciated by friends and even by those who didn't know me. All in all I'm a happy customer.

I got this as a step up from the D3100. With a larger sensor and twice as many mega pixels the image quality has improved from the already excellent D3100. With a 5 fps shutter and a flip-out screen, action photography and photography in awkward places has never been easier.
