Nikon D5200 24.1 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera Body Only (Black)

I imagine most are coming to this camera as either an upgrade to a point and shoot, or as a next step from a lesser Dslr. My needs are a little different, so bear that in mind when you read this. This will be primarily a camera used for a studio setup, as I don't need weather sealing, high FPS, or super fast/accurate AF. That said, here are the things that I note. Both pro and Con. Pros: 1. Excellent resolution (and I would be the 5300 is better still in this area) that tops out well above what I have needed in the past (about 16mp) 2. Very nice ergonomics and handling. The feel in your hand (I have medium hands) is comfy and just large enough to feel "real". 3. Af is better that I experienced with the D5100, or even the D7k (both previous studio bodies for me). 4. The menu layout has minor improvements that I find are just notable enough to feel better than its predecessor. 5. The colors out of camera seem closer to reality with this than either the 5100, or 7k bodies were. Not as nice as the D700's though. 6. Swivel screen is perfect for me, esp. when using it to get low angle shots of kids and pets. Cons: 1. The position of the AFL/AEL button (which I use for AF-on), is slightly off to the thumb. Too far out IMO. 2. 1/4000th a tad slow. Above average functionality and great files are what make this a very good camera for my current use. For what the market seeks when looking at this sort of camera, it does very well. Even along side the best competitors, it easily holds its own IMO. Is it up for the task? Yes. Are the images it can produce pretty good (allowing for the skill behind the camera, and the lens in front)? - No, its not pretty good, its excellent overall. Will it make toast and tuck you in at night? Well if that was what you hoped for, you were looking in the wrong place anyhow. EDIT: Nikon updated the firmware today, and fixed the only real bug this camera suffers from. Namely the AF-on functionality during certain shooting setups.

Ok, for starters we all know this is a crop framed camera. This price for this camera is awsome unlike the d 7000 and new d 7100 which are still cropped frame cameras. This little camera packs a punch when tested against a d 7000. The image quality was better and had far less noise not to mention hdr feature which the 7000 lacked. Now the new d 7100 has 51 auto focus points and 15 cross type points and is about 400 dollars more then the new d 5200. Are you really getting more for your money? Not really the d 7100 is a beefed 7000 with 24.1 mp cmos sensor. Still has 2 card SD slot weather sealed and the whole 9 yards with hdr added. There are some features that are good about this 7100 that you normally only see on full framed cameras but the d 5200 has a few of these features as well. Yes, we would all like a d5200 to be weather sealed but eh can't always get what you want. The end result is the d 5200 is the best camera you can own for under $1000.00 us dollars. The d7100 seems like a bit of a scam seeing how its not much further priced from the the full framed d600 granted the d600 had a bad start with the spotting on images after about 200 shots in, but none the less you can't go wrong with a d 5200 and when its time to upgrade its not too smart to upgrade to another cropped frame camera just doesn't make sense. I would looked into d800 and d800e if you want all the bells and whistles. So if your getting a cropped frame camera like a dx get the 5200 it may not be weather sealed and so on, but the image quality is amazing for its price. Also if your not into professional photography it has an easy to use interface. I originally got this for a back up camera and find my self playing with it more then my d 800. Its a fun little camera and if your new to photography I would look Into getting one of these.

Wonderful camera, we love it! Purchased for video and good quality home photos and couldn’t ask for a better buy. Easy to use and has plenty of camera options.

Let me preface this by saying I enthuse over still photography and am in no position to comment on video capabilities. That said... I owned an entry level D40x for about 7 years and was very pleased. So, was the D5200 purchase just the need for a new toy, or did I have specific reasons? Both. I consider myself a good amateur photographer with auto racing and landscape as my primary interests. So what does the upgrade mean to me? Speed and creative freedom. I took my time in writing this review because there was so much to explore and learn. As to creativity, there are more preset scenes and effects, through both the mode dial and an on-screen display. Factory presets are quite good, and you can tweak individual parameters to suit your personal preferences and applications. Full manual control is available if you really want to go outside the box, but a complete list of settings is much too long to get into here. I recommend the Nikon web site to download the specs and a manual for more details. The context sensitive help screens on the camera are useful and explain some functions that may have left you scratching your head after merely reading the book. Speed means several things to me. I have long been a believer in NIKKOR glass and have 2 (excellent) consumer grade lenses that reach from 18mm to 300mm in DX format. This satisfying combination comes at a very reasonable price but at the expense of the wider apertures available in the more expensive professional series. The ability to shoot at much higher ISOs without significant grain means superior low light performance without resorting to a flash, which is not always practical and can rob you of natural ambience. Second is the ability to shoot handheld at the equivalent of 450mm without blurring from camera shake: higher ISO = faster shutter speed. At a race track, the cars are fast, you don't always have time to stabilize while framing a shot, and I for one have trouble panning flawlessly100% of the time. Speed means the ability to freeze motion in both the photographer and his subject. Also, 5 frames per second is a significant improvement over the D40x and is a big help in shooting action sports of any kind. Ancillary benefits include: The articulated screen displays the myriad settings and lets you see your shot in unusual camera positioning away from the eye. A rear mounted IR receiver means tripod shooting without touching the camera... I don't do selfies so front mounts make no sense to me. Great debates include aesthetics, politics, and high pixel count. The only benefit to me might be on a very tight crop where information is shed. More important are the technically advanced focus and exposure sensing in both hardware and software. I chose a 5200 over the more expensive 5300 because their performance seems essentially equal, and I don't need the GPS or other minutiae. It feels balanced and handles well, so either it's ergonomically very good or I'm just used to Nikons. Or both. It fit my existing camera bag. So while not quite as light or compact as the D40x, it is still both. If it sounds like I love this camera, you are correct. From full auto to creative control, I highly recommend it. Finally always remember: no matter where you go, there you are... and the best camera is the one you have with you.

This camera is an excellent value. For my anniversary I received $500 to put towards a camera--the woman in my life knew that I am the picky type and decided it would be best to let me choose for myself. I researched for weeks. I looked at new and used cameras in an out of my price range ($500-$700 for a body). I fretted over reviews and differences in scores on camera websites. I agonized over what would be the best choice. Then, exhausted, I decided to go with a brand new camera that landed right in my price range: the D5200. For the price I was even able to get 35mm f/1.8 lens to go with it. I've enjoyed photography off and on my whole life. I started with disposable cameras as a child and graduated to a point-and-shoot in my teen years. I'm now in my mid-20s and received a hand-me-down D70 a few years back. The camera is a capable camera, but the technology inside it wasn't getting me where I want to be. I decided it was time for a change. I wanted a step up in quality: I wanted a camera that would eliminate my pet peeves about the D70 while giving me a higher image quality. I shoot strictly in manual mode and wanted a camera with which it would be as easy or easier to manipulate the settings. The first thing I noticed out of the box was the weight. This camera is light--very light. It's also very small and has wonderfully rounded edges. It looked like it could slip easily into a winter coat pocket, although I didn't test that. My D70 seems like a clunky hulking beast by comparison. This is an excellent perk since lugging a camera everywhere can be a chore. The prospect of a camera that weighs about the same as a pack of gum was enticing. The second thing I noticed about the camera is the LCD screen. The picture was very nice and I played around with the articulation alone for five minutes. I marveled that I could actually see a preview of my shot before taking it--how high tech! These two features combined finally made a dream of mine a reality: getting that shot that I can't quite get by kneeling and isn't a time or place appropriate for laying down. I could swing the screen out and up and preview my shot before I took it. How cool is that? It wasn't too long after discovering this amazing feature that I packed the camera up to return it. Trouble arrived in paradise as soon as I flipped over to manual mode to actually take a real picture that wasn't of random things in my room. I went to adjust the aperture with my the dial at my right index finger only to find no dial there. As it turns out there's only one dial on the camera meant for the right thumb. For those of you not familiar, Nikon has two dials on many of their cameras: one to adjust aperture in the front manipulated by the right index finger and one in the rear for shutter speed manipulated by the right thumb. I absolutely love this setup. Still, I gave this camera the best shot I could. There are three main things I control when I shoot: aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. The D5200 has an interesting setup with one dial and a "Function" button, both of which are programmable to one of these three. For instance, I could assign the dial to change the aperture and then change the shutter speed by pressing and holding the Function button while using the dial. If I needed to change the ISO then I would need to go into the easy to use but slow to access menu screen on the LCD. Changing ISO is not usually as pressing as changing shutter speed and aperture, but having to use the LCD menus to change the ISO was my biggest gripe using the D70 and I had incorrectly assumed that this would come with the cool buttons I'd seen on the top of the D200 and D300 and other semi-pro and pro cameras to quick change ISO, WB, and quality. After I got over the disappointment of having to use a menu to change the ISO I sat down to train myself to use the new Function button. I am still at the point in my photography where I usually finish changing one setting with one dial on the D70 before changing the other setting with the other dial, so learning to use only one dial and hold a button instead of another dial shouldn't be a big deal. I snapped pictures for about an hour straight while experimenting and practicing with this new system. The pictures I got from these experiments looked great. Even in low light the clarity was good at the noise was way lower than anything I'd experienced before. I couldn't argue with that. Even still, it didn't feel like the step up in camera for which I was looking. I wanted a semi-pro camera that I could bring hiking and not freak out getting caught in a downpour. I wanted a camera on which I could quickly change the ISO so I could go from a bright sunny outside to a dimly lit inside and not miss a great shot because I was looking down fiddling with a menu on an LCD screen instead of looking up at a beautiful opportunity for a picture. Perhaps most importantly, I wanted a camera that I felt comfortable and confident using. I tried really hard to love the Function button and the simplicity of having only one dial, but the marriage was just never meant to happen. I thought about trying aperture or shutter priority instead of full manual, but that wouldn't have given me the same control that I enjoyed with the D70--and it wouldn't have been the camera that I wanted to own for the next few years. If I was looking for a replacement for my D70 rather than a shift in what I wanted to do then the D5200 would have been an amazing upgrade in quality. I would have trained myself to use the Function button and continued to fall in love with the live preview and the articulating swing-out LCD screen. I was looking for something different, though, and this camera just wasn't for me. So who would I recommend this to? I would recommend it to an amateur photographer who is serious about image quality but doesn't want to break the bank. For just under $500 for the body you can buy a few prime lenses or a nice zoom lens and a memory card and stay under a grand. This is an excellent choice for someone looking to get more serious than a $100 point-and-shoot camera and get a much higher quality camera that can be a point and shoot but also let him or her branch out into using aperture or shutter priority and mess around with the different fun nuances of composing a shot. It's light enough to carry anywhere and user-friendly enough for most people to enjoy thoroughly. Would I recommend this to a friend? Yes, as long as it was the kind of camera he or she was trying to find. It's a great value and can create excellent pictures. If it's the type of camera you are looking for then I don't think you'll regret pulling the trigger on this one.

This is simply a great camera. Low light is not a problem with this bit of kit, especially while using a F1.8 35mm prime. Even without a low f-stop, this camera performs very well in low light. Noise with ISO 1200 and below is almost non-existent except for black areas. Feature set is very nice and 4-5 frames a second is no problem. Video looks great, although there is just a bit of softness that can be cleaned up in post. The audio leaves a lot to be desired, especially when the source is at a distance. Somewhat be expected though. Neewer TT560 boot flash for about $30 is a great addition to this kit and definitely recommended. Articulating screen is great for tough shots, although there is about a 1/4 second delay with the shutter in the mode. Live mode and video will eat your battery though. Overall I am extremely happy with this camera.

Truth be told, I was looking to upgrade my Nikon D50 to an FX (full 35mm size image sensor) format camera when I began shopping for a new camera body. The price of those professional workhorses was unfortunately beyond my reach. I found this gem when I set my sights a little lower and I am very pleased with the outcome. The pixel count is extraordinary, yielding native 10x13 prints at 300dpi. The 11x17 prints I have made are beautiful, something I was unable to accomplish with the 6.1 megapixel D50. The camera is compact and lightweight almost to a fault. I know I'll appreciate this when traveling, but the "feel" of it is somewhat "cheaper" than I'm used to from Nikon. The vari-angle LCD panel is large and bright and provides easy access to the vast majority of camera settings when not in Live View mode. In Live View, it allows framing pictures at otherwise impossible angles. (I find the shutter lag in Live View disturbing and therefore use this mode only when absolutely necessary). I like the fact that the settings and menus are navigated by using buttons, the joypad and the dial rather than a touchscreen interface. The viewfinder is kind of off-center on the camera body and it took a little getting used to before I was able to automatically center my eye on it. Once that happened I found the screen bright and the framing accurate. The toggle-able grid lines are a very useful feature. The camera's exposure settings are clearly visible. The 39 point autofocus system is fast, flexible and accurate. The various exposure setting paradigms are remarkably accurate. The embedded technology is simply amazing. Along with the numerous scene programs the 5200 offers Active D-Lighting and High Dynamic Range (HDR) modes. Each of these post-processes the image to give dramatically better results in backlit and high contrast situations. The HDR mode actually takes two images at different exposures and combines them so that both highlight and shadow detail are properly exposed in the final image. There is a calculated multiple exposure mode plus a host of special effects and in camera image editing features. All in all, an excellent addition to the Nikon line for serious amateur and light professional photography.

Nikon D5200 24.1 MP Digital SLR Camera Body Only (Black), Memory Card and Carry Case I will keep my verdict concise. First of all, Great experience with seller LIFESTYLES from Amazon. if you are confused between 700d, d3300 and d5200 ; go for d5200. Cause as a first dslr you won't get any better photographic options than d5200. i have gone through tons of reviews in the internet, for a stupid iso hype in d3300 don't choose over d5200. and of course don't call yourself amateur and end up buying a kit lens. buy a prime lens, trust me the outcome of it and lens itself will challenge you and make you a better photographer. After some time when your cam gets handy, buy a good zoom lens, that shall serve all your purposes. D3300 vs D5200 : you are getting much better number of focus points as well swivel screen, better dynamic range, bracketing, hdr etc. - all these are bliss as photographic features. the greater ISO of the D3300 is not real because you are never going to use it at the imagined level. Expeed 3/4 -Not important at all. Attached photo is taken with d5200 and 35 prime 1.8g

Love the moveable screen. Live view is great taking videos. AF is OK to. Shooting mostly in P mode. Not as quite as my Nikon D3000. Overall my picture quality has improved over the D3000 using same lenses. Like this camera.

I was so confuse to buy which camera at last decided to for nikon D5200 and buyed from Amazon. The product is great and was delivered in time by Amazon and was packed very well. I recommend it to buy it with both len. Important points befor buying: The product comes with VR2 lens as it has not mention and it comes with 8gb memory card The thing I dn't like is that the camera bag was very small it is difficult to keep camera with lens in bag. And there is no space for extra 2 lens.but the quality of bag is very nice I am happy with this product and I recommend it to go for it.

None beginner camera can compete wid this one.awsm is jst the word.its a advanced beginner DSLR .simple to use .handy.light weight.but the kit lens it not dat good so should buy separate lens(70-300 nikkor) dat lens is jst awsm works well.

Not able to use at all. All the efforts made to make it a pleasant purchase resulted in a complete failure.
