Review Nikon D5200 Digital SLR Camera Introduction:
At the end of last year, Nikon introduced a new mid-range SLR camera. The Nikon D5200 is the successor to the two year older D5100. The 24.1 megapixel Nikon D5200 is a mid-range digital SLR camera. Equipped with a 39-point autofocus system, a 2.016 pixel RGB metering sensor, and an Exceed 3 processor, the Nikon D5200 has everything in store for shooting beautiful photos. The extensive ISO range of 100-12.560, continuous shooting of 5 frames per second and the 60i Full HD video function makes this a desirable camera for a wide target group. The tilting, 3.0-inch LCD screen, the pre-programmed Picture Controls, and the special photo effects complete the creative picture.The Nikon D5200 is ideal for people with a passion for photography that would like to experiment with the camera’s superior functions’, stated Nikon during the camera’s introduction. Looking at the competition, we can only state that the Nikon D5200 has impressive specifications. The SLR camera is designed for you to grow with the camera. A clear menu and button structure add to its quick operation. If desired, you can start in automatic pilot with 16 subject modes and as you gain more experience, there are also many manual settings available to you. The PASM modes are accessible via the control dial. It is too bad that you have to go into the menu for the other settings, such as ISO, white balance, and AF mode, as they do not have separate buttons. The camera does feature a Fn button that could be used as an alternative, as you can designate a function of your choice to this button.
Nikon D5200 Digital SLR Camera Features:
The Nikon D5200 camera has the same Pentax mirror as its competitor, the Canon EOS 650D. The optical viewfinder has a range of almost 95%. Just like with the 650D, shooting photos is much faster via the viewfinder than via Live View on the screen. This is understandable for this camera category, but it is too bad, since the camera is ready to use quickly, you also want to keep on shooting quickly. The EOS 650D has a touch screen, and the Nikon D5200 has a tilting screen. Both have their advantages. By being able to tilt the screen, there are completely new perspectives possible, which challenge you to take creative photos. The Nikon D5200 Camera Charger screen is pleasant to look at thanks to its high resolution of 920,000 dots and the anti-glare coating.
Whether you have a lot of photography experience or not, the Nikon D5300 makes outstanding photos and videos. The 39-point autofocus system is fast and accurate. The precision light metering sensor, D-Lighting, and HDR ensure you will capture well-lit photos in most situations. The camera also controls the signal-noise ratio well; up to ISO 3200 there is hardly any noise to speak of. ISO 6400 is still functional, and above that noise increases considerably. The photos show a natural color representation, although I personally would like to see them a tiny bit sharper, but this is easy to adjust, either in the camera, or afterwards with photo editing software. The built-in flash also performs well. The camera has various Picture Controls and Filter Effects in order to give your photos a bit more creativity. The D5200 is compatible with the optional WU-1A wireless mobile adapter, in order to share your photos with your friends and family. In practice, the Nikon D5200 Battery Charger is an absolutely fine camera to shoot with! The greatest advantage of this 18-55mm kit lens is that it comes with Vibration Reduction. The VR stabilization system offers more flexibility while shooting photos by hand, and you can shoot up to 3 stops faster.
The D5200 itself does not have a built-in stabilization system, so it is advisable to acquire a so-called VR lens. The AF-S DX Nikkor kit lens has a range of 18-55mm, which comes down to 3x zoom. That makes it an ideal standard lens to take detailed, sharp photos of everyday subjects and landscapes. Furthermore, the built-in Silent Wave Motor ensures a fast and silent autofocus system.
The Nikon D5200 has a conventional design thanks to the sturdy grip that makes it very comfortable to handle. The D5200 is an ideal camera for those that already have some photography experience and are ready for the next step. The next step in terms of image quality and camera functions. There is an automatic mode, but the Nikon Camera Chargers also offers a lot of manual settings. Via the settings dial, you can select a variety of photo modes, including the regular PASM modes, Auto, Macro, Effects, and Scene. There are 16 automatic subject modes available and a whole series of effects, including selective color and miniature effect.
