The editors liked
High-resolution DX sensor
Better AF and metering than D5100
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.
Highres sensor
Proven AF system
Articulating screen
Good interface
Excellent photo and video quality
Plenty of scene modes and filters
Intervalometer functionality
Stereo mic built-in
The editors didn't like
We don't know price or release date
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

Abstract: After the development of high-end models during the start of the last year, Nikon spent the other half of the year (and the beginning of 2013.) developing new entry and mid-level models. New generation of presented models consists of the D3200 model at th...
Abstract: The red trim piece at the top of the handgrip has moved down just slightly, so that it is now entirely inset within the rubber grip surface as in other recent Nikon DSLRs, rather than simply occupying the space between rubber and plastic at the top of the...
Good still and video image quality, Light and compact, Competitive high ISO performance, 5 fps continuous shooting speed, Capable autofocus system
Minimal external controls for adjusting camera settings, Lacks weather sealing of some direct competitors, 95% coverage of viewfinder makes accurate framing a bit problematic
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...

Excellent image quality. Fast autofocus. 4fps continuous shooting. Sharp vari-angle LCD. 39-point autofocus system. Fast to start and shoot. 1080i60 video capture. Wi-Fi and GPS add-ons available.
Small pentamirror viewfinder. Will not autofocus with screw-drive lenses. Noisy focus during video recording. Only one control wheel
The under-$1,000 Nikon D5200 is a capable D-SLR that delivers impressive image quality and continuous shooting at 4 frames per second, earning it our Editors' Choice....

Nikon has made a compelling DSLR in the D5200. If you like the convenience of an articulated LCD screen and are invested in the Nikon system, it's basically your only option other than the D5100. But that is hardly a limitation, given that the D5200 perfo...
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...
Impressive 39point AF system; 5fps burst rate; Stunning image quality; Intuitive graphic user interface; Wifi & GPS supported
Slow AF point positioning in Live View; lag when previewing creative effects in real time; No headphone port for audio monitoring; Noisy kit lens performance
Costing £649 body only, or £719 with the 18-55mm VR kit lens, the D5200 works out at £300 more than the D5100. With the latter rapidly dropping in price since the D5200's release, the D5100 can be picked up very reasonably for £419 with a kit lens. Th...
