Though it has no significant flaws
The lack of an autofocus motor in the body limits your lens-selection flexibility
Small pentamirror viewfinder. Will not autofocus with screw-drive lenses. Noisy focus during video recording. Only one control wheel
Minimal external controls for adjusting camera settings
Lacks weather sealing of some direct competitors
95% coverage of viewfinder makes accurate framing a bit problematic
Screen lacks touch capability
Slow AF in live view and video modes (compared to mirrorless APS-C cameras)
No real-time aperture adjustment in live view
Relatively small image buffer limits burst capacity in Raw-enabled modes
Soft video output at default settings
No aperture control in video mode
Upsampled video at default 60i output
When shooting in live view
Rear screen is blacked out until data is written to the ca

The Nikon D5200 is a solid performer that offers an impressive array of specifications for a camera of its class. Indeed, the number of features it shares with its higher-end Nikon stablemates is to be applauded. In addition to an excellent 24MP senso...
Abstract: D4, D800/800E, D600, D3200, D5200 and the most recent new arrival, the D7100. It's an imposing line-up of D-SLR heavy hitters that's revitalised Nikon's fortunes in this market and no doubt given the product planners over at arch-rival Canon something to ...
Highres sensor, Proven AF system, Articulating screen, Good interface
Special Effect JPEG only, No touchscreen, Few direct controls
Buying Guide Best DSLR: top cameras by price and brand It's a bit disappointing that the Nikon D5200 doesn't introduce anything new since to the Nikon feature set apart from the sensor, and it is a fairly predictable upgrade to the Nikon D5100 that borrow...
Abstract: The three colour options available for the Nikon D5200. (Source: Nikon.)However, there are a few flaws potential purchasers should be aware of. Like its predecessors, the D5200 has no autofocus motor in its body, which limits your choice of lenses. It wil...
Excellent photo and video quality, Plenty of scene modes and filters, Intervalometer functionality, Stereo mic built-in,
No built-in wireless connectivity, No built-in AF motor,
The D5200 is a very good all-rounder, ideal for beginners dipping their toes into SLR photography, or more advanced users looking for good image and video quality with a small body....
Picture quality is excellent. The lens is the big surprise. We are not well disposed to these super zooms but this one could win us over. Apart from distortion at each extreme, it has astonishing optical character.
As with all entrylevel Nikon DSLRs, this one lacks a body drive for autofocus lenses, so some older optics without a motor in the lens will not autofocus
Let's assume that an ''advanced beginner'' is an occasional photographer who wants quality photos from a reasonably priced package. The D5200 will do the job superbly, perhaps teamed with a less ambitious and expensive lens. It is a good way to buy into t...
Abstract: DateFebruary 7, 2013 (0) Read later This 24-megapixel DSLR is for ''advanced beginners'', according to Nikon. The internals, such as sensor, image processor, autofocus and auto-exposure are similar to the D7000, while the externals, such as v...
High-resolution DX sensor, Better AF and metering than D5100
We don't know price or release date
Nikon's refresh of its enthusiast-consumer D5XXX range brings together the high-resolution, pixel-dense 24.1-megapixel sensor from the D3200 and the high-quality metering and 39-point autofocus system of the D7000. It seems to hit a good compromise betwee...
None of these detail-related issues was disastrous, and the 650D and its predecessors have their own focus problems with their 18-55mm kit lens. However, we'd advise caution to anyone who is considering upgrading to the D5200 for the sake of its high reso...
