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.

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.

En las descripciones no especifica que le falta la tapa que cubre tarjeta dice usada no rota, adjunto foto.

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.

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.

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.
