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 con...

Quality: excellent.Why you would buy it: it's a Nikon; well-priced DSLR; excellent video capture.Why you wouldn't: you don't want a DSLR!For a camera that I figure is very affordable for many people this has to be one of the best buys around: 24.1 megapix...
Great image quality with low noise, 5fps continuous shooting, 39-point with 9 cross-type AF system, Partial manual video exposure, Clean 1080p HDMI video out.
Reduced battery life, Lacks viewfinder eye sensor, Lacks touch-screen, Lacks Depth of Field preview, Slow and noisy kit lens.
The D5200 is a solid upgrade to Nikon's upper entry level model and a real advance in a number of key areas. Its AF and metering systems were previously only available on the next model up the range - the D7000 and it has a brand new 24 Megapixel sens...
