Transforming everyday sights into images that move us.
Shooting photos and videos is about more than capturing memories. A great camera brings your creative vision to life with striking clarity. The Nikon D5200 is exactly that type of camera—an exceptional HD-SLR designed to draw exciting new perspectives out of everyone who shoots it. Optimized for creativity, streamlined for flexibility, it'll awaken your passion and inspire some of the most spectacular photos and videos you've ever captured.
Showcase your artistry
Vari-angle display, built-in HDR, special effects and filters
Creativity and flexibility were considered in every aspect of the D5200. It has a 921,000-dot Vari-angle display that lets you shoot from just about any position—hold the camera overhead for a view above a crowd, at ground level for an interesting close-up of a flower, or just enjoy easier video recording and self portraits. For shots that have both very dark and very bright areas, D5200 includes built-in HDR (high-dynamic range). It takes two shots at different exposures and blends them into one amazing image. And an exciting collection of built-in effects and filters opens new possibilities for expression: isolate a single color, explore black & white, posterize, miniaturize—the creative techniques pros spend years mastering are now conveniently at your command.
Capture life's brilliance
24.1 MP DX-format CMOS sensor and renowned NIKKOR lenses
Perhaps your greatest inspiration will be the spectacular quality of every photo and video you shoot with the D5200. Its highly sensitive 24.1-megapixel DX-format CMOS image sensor captures your vision with lifelike brilliance—marvel at the vibrant colors and razor-sharp detail, even in low light. Legendary NIKKOR lenses, marvels of clarity and quality, are the perfect companion for the D5200, drawing peak performance out of the sensor. Our intelligent Scene Recognition System compares your shot against an onboard database for optimum exposure, and EXPEED 3, the processing power in our acclaimed D4, makes it all happen in an instant.
Share your creations in an instant
Optional WU-1a Wireless Adapter for Wi-Fi photo sharing and camera control

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 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

Bought this for casual photography, where I wanted to save some moments of my life as high-quality images for the rest of my life. The performance and flexibility that the camera gives not less than any professional camera. This camera is equivalent what a professional camera was 5-7 years ago, except the sensor-size.The low-light and indoor performance is pretty awesome, this is the prime reason why I bought this camera where a mobile phone camera, in my opinion, can not perform.Day-light, indoors, you can shoot with very high-shutter speed, as high as 1/125 to 1/1000 second, that means, you get the pictures if the subject movies a bit (kids playing games etc.). I was very happy the outcome.During diwali, I struggled to capture the crackers (rockets). It was all trial and error and learn from mistakes. However, this is not due to the camera, but due to my little experience with occasion, photography and the complexity involved in the combination of manual settings shutter-speed, ISO, aperture, manual-focus and ever-moving, short-lived subjects.I bought Nikon 50mm, f/18 prime less with out motor, knowingly that the AF doesn't work with D5200. I was able to shoot good pictures when the subjects don't move, but it's kind of difficult to take picture of moving subjects, such as playing kids, birds etc..Later-on I bought Nikon 35mm, f/1.8 prime lens and the results were awesome, especially the portraits and the low-light pictures - such as pictures taken at candle light dinner. After I bought this my 50mm prime lens became useless. I use the default 18mm-55mm only to shoot group photos (as wide-angle-lens) or where I have limited control on the distance between the camera and the subject.I did not by a telescopic (200mm/300mm) lens as I know I would hardly use those lens, since I don't generally shoot birds and far objects.Overall, never repented on buying this camera. If you have plans to switch to professional photography in future, you might want to by D7000 series, as this camera has a built-in motor, so you will have wide-selection of lenses without auto-focus limitation.I saw excellent pictures posted by other reviewers, so I will skip the photo-session :PThanks for reading my review.

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 cardThe 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 niceI am happy with this product and I recommend it to go for it.

I'm usually a lot more detailed in my reviews and want to do this justice, so I will revisit this when I have more time.However as a once (and maybe future) professional photographer, this is the best entry-level professional camera I've owned. I've had a lot of "prosumer" cameras that never did what I wanted. This one did.It's intuitive (if you're "old-school" like I am, that helps) and if you're not experienced, it's easy to pick up. The F-stop is somewhat limited (I'm used to a much wider range), but the overall options allow for those great depth of field effects (by using the focus settings). Technology makes up where optics may fall short.The built-in flash is kind of weak, but serviceable if you're doing casual shooting. The shooting options are great. How they compare to higher priced cameras, I can't say, but I haven't hit any limits in my shooting. Remote, time-lapse, depth of field, long-exposure, it's done everything I've asked for credibly and reliably.I do recommend a longer lens for distance shooting. The 18-55 mm lens is fine for indoor and panoramic shots. But for distance shots, I recommend going much higher (I added a 55-200mm lens). I also HIGHLY recommend the "VR" and "AF" versions of the Nikor lenses. VR means vibration reduction - essential when shooting long exposure shots (think eclipses). "AF" means autofocus - something you should have for the more complicated shots.For the most part, I do manual focus. I'm faster that way - especially in sports or action shots. For a more controlled shoot, I use autofocus. it does a very good job of that, too.The image quality I consider to be excellent. The standard JPG format is sufficient for almost all uses. For pros, there's a RAW format that they may like. I found the RAW color rendering to be significantly different from the JPG format, and actually LESS 'true color" than what the JPG files showed up. it appeared to mostly be in brightness. YMMV, since I have some color blindness (but I can tell when something looks different than what I'm looking at).Overall, the JPG format suits my needs and I save it at the highest quality to reduce any compression losses as much as possible.On the down side, it's not the camera's fault. The company stopped making the 5200. The new one is the 5300, which I tried out in the stores and didn't like as much. It has a better (as in slightly wider and brighter) viewfinder, slightly brighter colors, but it's not as "intuitive" for me. The color adjustments are easy to fix and I encountered no issues looking through the viewfinder with the 5200.IF you can find one, I think the 5200 is the best value professional level camera you can buy. You can spend (one hell of a lot) more on a better camera, but if you're new to photography, or getting back into it - and really want to get serious about it - this is a great starting point to see how things go. It will stay in your bag, even after you upgrade, because it's, at worst, a really good back-up for a pro unit. It has all the accessories and options you'll likely ever need.Once I have a chance to get my ancient Cokin filters out of storage and see how they work together with this camera, I'll have a better idea of how to finish this review. For the moment, I can say I'm extremely impressed. And assuming you're not an old hand at digital photography, I think you will be impressed, too.

Purchased as refurbished. Basically looks and functions as new. 1515 shutter clicks, barely used. The price difference from new makes this a huge bargain camera for the budget minded. I purchased this as a back up body. With limited use at this point, this is a wonderful camera. It has the major advantage of being very light weight and big enough to get a hand on it. If you are hauling around a DSLR all day this is an important consideration. Especially if you carry an extra lens or two. Really gets important if you are caring an additional body to eliminate lens changes in dirty environments or fast moving situations. I chose this body over it's newer D5300 version because I have no need of GPS capabilities. If I need Wi Fi I can get that with an adaptor or a Wi Fi card. Both items cost far less than stepping up to the next model. Any other updates are not significant between the models (for my uses). The one thing I really find I use, and missed more than I would ever have guessed, is the articulated screen. High shots, low shots, shots using a smaller/lower/lightweight tripod, this adjustable screen is so incredibly convenient. Saves the back, keeps me out of the dirt for the most part, and helps visibility in bright lighting conditions. I really missed this when I upgraded to the D7100 from the D5100. The technical points of this camera are covered in multiple other reviews, so I will just say I am not disappointed in the images it captures, even when comparing to the D7100. I really wish the D5200 could use the older lenses, the ones that need the screw type AF system within the camera body (the D7100 can). This body uses only the AF-S lenses to auto focus. The older lenses will mount on this camera, but they will NOT autofocus. Nikon continues to develop nice AF-S lenses that work with this type camera, so this could be the only camera you will ever need.Edit: I would also like to add the list of accessories I always get to complete a camera purchase. If you are new to DSLR photography this is function and protection for your investment:1.A good multicoated UV filter. It saves your lens glass from accidental bumps, that bit of grit you miss and rub around when cleaning a random fingerprint and other crud. It also helps reduce haze. They should be on the lens from day one to protect that front element from an unforgiving environment (and the Baby's cake covered hands when you go in for the close-up first B-day!) I have twice been very thankful I took this advise myself. The lens survived, the filter did not. Was a cheap replacement (compared to a lost lens) and the photographic day was not ruined.2. A good quality SD card. Or two. I like 32gb Sandisk Extreme 111. They are fast and I have not had one malfunction yet.3.A spare battery. I have had good luck with fully decoded non-Nikon versions.4. A case/bag for carrying and storage.5. A screen saver for the LCD.6. A proper lens cleaning kit.There are a million other things you can use for your new hobby, but these 6 are really important to the health and well-being of your fine camera.
