Excellent camera. I have always had Nikon and have been very pleased, this camera is no exception. A bit complex for someone that has never used a SLR type camera. The instructions do not contain enough information on how to use the older manual lenses but I like the flexibility of a manual lens and...

Just shy of two years after the D5100, Nikon is releasing the successor to its popular DSLR model in a bid to counter its greatest competitor, the Canon EOS 650D.

New 24-Megapixel sensor; Quality build with pivoting screen; Low image noise up to 3200 ISO; Helpful illustrations; Stereo recording in video mode

AF in LiveView still too slow; Rolling shutter in video mode; Menu interface could be improved with clearer; more coherent choices; Not very different from the D5100

The Nikon D5200 fills the high-resolution gap in the company's middle-spec DSLR space by squeezing a brand new 24-megapixel CMOS sensor into the new model. It was inevitable, really; such a resolution gap didn't really exist until Nikon launched the 24-megapixel and apparent entry-level D3200.

Good picture quality; vari-angle LCD screen; decent autofocus system with motorised lenses

Experienced sharpness issues with first review sample body (not confirmed as an official; recognised issue as yet); banding in shadow areas when pushing raw file EV; poor movie clips with terrible interlaced tearing in playback; no touchscreen; lack of quick-access buttons on account of vari-angle...

Having spent most of 2012 updating its full-frame DSLR range with the addition of the D4 , D800 and D600 models, Nikon has shifted its attention back to its APS-C DSLR range with the launch of the upper entry-level D5200.

Impressive 39-point AF system; Continuous shooting speed of 5fps; Stunning image quality; Intuitive graphic user interface

Slow AF point positioning in Live View; Lags when previewing creative effects in real time; Noisy kit lens performance

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

This is my first DSLR camera after a long research in finding out a suitable one for myself trying our other brands of DSLR practicing photography technics as an amateur.D5200 provides various options to improve the skills learning and practicing the art of photography.

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 .

Excellent image quality; Fast autofocus; 4fps continuous shooting; Sharp vari-angle LCD; 39-point autofocus system; Fast to start and shoot; 1080i60 video capture; Wi-Fi and GPS add-ons available

Small pentamirror viewfinder; Will not autofocus with screw-drive lenses; Noisy focus during video recording; Only one control wheel

In the Nikon stable of DSLRs, the D5100 was one of the standout models simply because it offered a lot of enthusiast level features for a very reasonable price, while the D3100 was a more simplified ­camera for beginners.

Fully articulated LCD screen is useful; stereo microphones built-in; tweaks to Auto ISO make it a lot more useful; good image quality

Viewfinder magnification is a tad low; no audio output port for audio monitoring

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

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.
