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

The Nikon D5200 is an extremely likeable DSLR, with a compact but stylish design and oozes plenty of potential for producing great shots. There are rivals, and some features are missing, but anyone keen to take their photography to the next level will fi...

A cracking camera with superb image quality and a brilliant autofocus. A number of small faults prevent it from topping our A-List, however...

If you go with the new model, you'll need to be pretty clear-minded about how you actually plan to use it. You'll spend a little bit of that $300 on video, a little on WiFi adapter compatibility, a bit on extra megapixels, but most of it on the new autofo...

The Nikon D5200 is an interesting camera, placed in the crossover between beginner and enthusiast level. Some people would say that its plastic body and simple handling are likely to frustrate the enthusiast, while its memory-hungry resolution (and theref...
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 qu
For its £720 price tag, the Nikon D5200 draws in the D7000's autofocus system and, considering that and the new 24-megapixel sensor's overall image quality, it's a DSLR that's a step beyond its predecessor. But it's not totally plain sailing. As en...
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
Costing £649 body only, or £719 with the 18-55mm VR kit lens, the D5200 currently costs around £320 more than the equivalent D5100 package. The developments to the D5200's internal specification – most notably the 39-point AF system and 24.1MP sensor – re...
New 24Megapixel 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 is all about transitions: bridging the gap between an entry-level and a mid-range SLR, it's a technological transition to a new Toshiba-made sensor. Bringing little more to its predecessor, the D5100, than the addition of 8 Megapixels, the...
