Nikon D5200 review

Nikon D5200 review

Nikon D5200 is a very good amateur camera from Nikon. Nikon D2013 is the best for spring 5200 Amateur Nikon DX Camera. This review presents only the camera itself Nikon D5200 body (no specific lens). Nikon D5200 is usually sold with a standard lens like this - Nikon 18-55mm f / 3.5-5.6G VR AF-S DX Nikkor, such a set is called 'whale'.

Nikon D5200 can be found in 3 different colors

Matrix

Nikon D5200 uses the new 24 MP sensor, which allows you to take pictures of 6000 * 4000 pixels (exactly 24 MP). D5200 and D7100most likely using the same sensor, details described here. I do not recommend paying much attention to the number of megapixels, you can read the reasons here here.

24MP sensor allows you to crop (cut out parts of the image) on a computer without a strong loss in quality

The 24-megapixel matrix allows you to crop (cut out parts of the image) on a computer without a strong loss in quality. The photo shows the crop (clipping) from the original image to get a larger bee in the photo.

It is important that Nikon D5200 can use photosensitivity values. ISO 100-6400. The range can be expanded to an ISO HI2 equivalent ISO 25.600... The 'bloated' ISO HI1 and HI2 modes in the camera are more for show than for practical use. You can set the ISO value in 1/3-stop increments, that is, you can set values ​​like ISO 320, 640, 2500, etc. The Nikon D5200 performs well in low light conditions. It is a pity that the ISO 6400 threshold in the new Nikon D5200 has not been raised.

A picture with automatic ISO control, the camera decided to shoot at a value of 110

Nikon D5200 works well in auto ISO mode - the camera can automatically select the maximum exposure for each individual lens. For example, for a lens with a 70mm focal length, the camera sets a limit excerpts for 1 \ 125 seconds (the average position of the slider when choosing a length excerpts in automatic mode). Auto value excerpts can be made shorter or longer, 5 steps are available. You can set the range of ISO values, for example, from 320 to 6400 units. It's nice that the maximum shutter speed for the Auto ISO function can be set from 1 second to 1/2000 second, this is important when using the telephoto lens. Also, in the automatic ISO sensitivity control mode, you can set the values ​​of Hi1, Hi2 as the maximum ISO value. Why Auto ISO function and how it works, you can read here. In general, the automatic ISO control is implemented very well, this allows you to get pictures without stirring without unnecessary troubles, for example, taking pictures with your hands. Note: as with many other Nikon cameras, ISO control is only available. in shooting modes P, A, S, M.

D5100 and D5200 are very similar to each other.

Focus, exposure metering

Finally, after a long period, a new Multi-CAM 4800DX focusing module from a more advanced model was installed in the amateur camera line Nikon D7000. The number of focus points is 39 pieces, 9 of which are cross-shaped. The same number of focus points Nikon D600. I advise you to read more about the difference in focusing systems. here, but about the focus setting - here. Before amateur level cameras Nikon D3000, D3100, D5000, D5100, D3200 had a focusing system with 11 points or worse, with 5 (Nikon D50) or 3 points (D40, D40x, D60) The Nikon D5200, with its 39 focus points, is a new breakthrough.

Focusing system can be used in a large number of modes:

  • You can choose either 39 focus points or the usual 11
  • You can turn on the electronic rangefinder, which will prompt in manual focus mode where to rotate the focus ring of the lens.
  • You can choose a bunch of different modes of the focus system, from focusing on a single point, to 3D tracking an object in the frame. All modes are illustrated with relevant examples, a beginner will not be able to get confused in the web of the menu :)
  • In Live View, you can choose from 4 types of focusing system: 1 - Face-priority AF, 2 - Wide-area AF, 3 - Normal-area AF, 4 - Subject-tracking AF.
  • You can select the priority of the focus mode for AF-C... In priority 'release' mode, the camera obediently takes pictures in any situation.

exposure measured with 2016-pixel RGB sensor. Since release Nikon D50 in 2005, Nikon used 8 years on its amateur cameras 420-segment metering, the new Nikon D5200 also made a breakthrough in this regard, taking Nikon amateur cameras to a new level. Auto focus is closely related to metering sensor exposure, the latter can recognize recorded scenes and improve auto focus. Exactly such a sensor is used by such advanced cameras as Nikon D600, D7100, D7000.

By the way, the camera uses as an optical viewfinder pentaser mirror with 95% field of view coverage and 0.78x magnification.

Photography Speed ​​Buffer

Nikon D5200 is Nikon's fastest amateur camera, it can shoot at the speed 5 frames per second. Performance Nikon D5200 almost the same as Nikon D3x. As many as 5 frames per second is a very good indicator. For example, the nominal speed Nikon D7100 is 6 frames per second, and the predecessor Nikon D5100 could shoot at a speed of 4 frames per second. The camera has an Expeed 3 processor, the same as Nikon D7100, D600, D800, D800E and Nikon D4. It seemed very strange to me that an image processing system, like the flagship model, was installed in an amateur Nikon D5200 camera Nikon D4... Because of this, nothing 'slows down' in Nikon D5200, the camera reacts very well to all settings changes.

JPEG L Fine files weigh an average of 8 to 15 MB. RAW files weigh on average 30 Mb each. For large files, you should invest in high-capacity memory cards. Nikon D5200 uses SD (HC, XC, UHS-I) memory cards. The Nikon D5200 uses NEF (RAW) files with 14-bit color depth.

The buffer contains:

  • 3 JPEG pictures in L size, Fine quality with all advanced settings enabled. In fact, the camera takes 4-5 pictures until it starts to slow down.
  • 11 JPEG pictures in L size, Fine quality with all advanced settings turned off.
  • 7 shots in RAW with all advanced settings turned off.
  • only 2 pictures in RAW or RAW + JPEG with all advanced settings enabled.

7 shots in RAW is not enough, at 5 frames per second the buffer is enough for less than 2 seconds of continuous shooting. By the way, I noticed one interesting feature, when using lenses without a focus motor on the Nikon D5200, the 'Aut. distortion control 'does not work.

Display. Video.

Nikon D5200 has 3-inch swivel large display  and 921.000 points. The display is the same as Nikon D5100. You can view photos and videos via HDMI using a Type C HDMI cable. There is no cable in the box.

The camera supports video quality of 1920 x 1080 60i, H.264 / MPEG-4 is written in the '.MOV' file format. Attention: to shoot in 60i you need to set NTSC mode in the menu. I couldn’t find these same 60i for an hour, as in Pal mode only 50i is available.

If you don't need a bunch of heavy video files, you can take advantage of the lower image quality - 1280 x 720 or 640 x 424. You can choose high or normal video quality. Nikon D5200 already has built-in stereo microphone. In focus mode AF-F continuous tracking focus is available when shooting video... AF-F focus mode must be set using the 'I' button while Live View is on. The focusing work when shooting video is not happy - this is a common problem for SLR cameras. To shoot video, you need to turn on Live View using a special lever, and only then press the red button to start recording video. You cannot immediately start recording a video by pressing a single button.

Example photo on Nikon D5200

If you allow manual video settings, then in the manual camera control mode 'M', shooting video with manual control is available excerpts and ISO. Exposure can be set from 1 \ 60 (or 1 \ 30) to 1 \ 4000 seconds. When shooting video, you can immediately change the ISO value, it is very convenient to program the Fn button for ISO control for this. It is convenient to shoot video in manual mode with the Auto ISO function turned on.  Attention: during video recording, you cannot change the aperture value on which the video will be shot.

And now what very annoying when shooting 60i or 50i video. When you start shooting video, the camera does a light crop. For example, if you need to shoot a video using a 10 mm focal length lens, then there will be problems. The camera will simply turn on its crop mode. This is something similar to the 1.3 x y shooting mode Nikon D7100but it's not clear what kind of crop Nikon D5200 uses for 60i and 50i. They say it is used 1.25 x crop image. On the official website it is written about it casually or not at all. Deceiving people is not good :) In other modes, such as 1920 x 1080 30p, there is no such strange camera behavior.

Housing and management

The case is made of plastic. The camera is well-assembled, as you would expect. My copy of Nikon D5200 Made in Thailand. Due to the rotatable display, the camera does not have a button block to the left of the display, therefore the camera is more designed for controlling with one right hand. The D5200 display can be closed back and forth; in this position, it cannot be damaged during transportation. The camera menu is quite simple, there are tips everywhere. It will be easier for a beginner to understand the basic settings. I liked the INFO button menu, where excerpt and ISO are shown on the background of round control dials, as on old film cameras, while the discs are animated and rotate depending on exposure.

Externally, the Nikon D5200 camera is very similar to Nikon D5100. Nikon D5200 uses battery EN-EL14exactly the same as Nikon D3200, D5100 и D3100. Managing the camera is easy.

Sample photos:

Photos without processing. Photos taken in VI, PO, JPEG (L, Fine) mode. Reduced size to 3 MP and imprinted data from EXIF. Everything is filmed on Nikon 70-210mm и Nikon 18-70mm

Features and useful features

  1. Exposure varies from 30s to 1/4000 seconds
  2. The minimum flash sync speed is 1/200 s. No camera FP mode.
  3. Auto matrix cleaning function.
  4. In RGB view mode bar charts You can view the histogram for any selected image fragment. The same function Nikon D7100.
  5. Auto distortion control for most lenses. This means that the camera automatically removes vignetting and distortion.
  6. Function multiple exposures.
  7. You can program the function button FN on one of the heap of the proposed parameters. I usually program FN to control ISO sensitivity. Instead of ISO control, you can set HDR shooting.
  8. Active D-lighting (has 4 steps of intensity) and noise reduction function at high ISO and slow shutter speeds.
  9. There is even an interval shooting function.
  10. A bunch of presets for shooting. A good menu for processing photos taken.
  11. HDR with different levels, you can set Moderate, Normal, Amplified, Super Amplified and Auto level. The camera takes two pictures in a row and combines them into one. A very useful thing for landscapes. Shooting in HDR with your hands is very bad.
  12. Quiet shooting mode Q. In fact, not so quiet, you can’t remove the sound of the mirror.
  13. The camera has a mechanism for independent control of the mirror and aperture. This allows you to achieve a small shutter lag, the lag (the shutter lag after pressing the shutter button) is only 0.09 seconds. When shooting in Live View, the camera does not lower the mirror, just like Nikon D7100, D600, D800,D800E.
  14. The camera supports remote radio control using the WR-R10 / WR-T10 device. And you can buy a special GPS module GP-1, which will be recorded in EXIF coordinates of the place of shooting.
  15. The camera supports the WU-1a device, which allows you to transfer images using wi-fi to devices running iOS, Android, and also allows you to control the camera remotely using the same devices.
  16. The easiest way to remote control is with an infrared remote control ML-L3.
  17. On the Nikon D5200 body there is a button that is responsible for the shooting mode - you can choose frame-by-frame, continuous slow, continuous fast, self-timer, delay shutter, fast shutter and quiet shooting mode.
  18. More instead of the usual SD cards, you can install a special Eye-Fi card that will transfer JPEG photos via Wi-Fi to a computer or other Wi-Fi-enabled devices.
  19. Can be used camera from the outlet using the EH-5b AC adapter with EP-5A connection.
  20. Auto release function. The self-timer can be set to a series of 9 shots. It is convenient to take self-portraits, especially with a group of people.

Since Nikon D5200 refers to the simplest level of SLR cameras Nikon, then it does not have many functions that are present in more advanced cameras:

  • There is no focus motor, which makes it difficult to use old-cheap lenses, such as Nikon 50mm f / 1.8D AF Nikkor.
  • No additional monochrome display
  • There is no button for previewing the depth of field, which is convenient to program for useful functions.
  • There is no second control dial that makes working with the camera easier. Such a disk is available in older models
  • No way to manage flashes remotely, the ability to work with old optics AI-S type
  • There is no way to use the battery pack
  • There is no fine-tuning of focus and a bunch of other little things. Usually all these little things are simply not needed by the amateur photographer, I bring them more to understand the general picture of what you can or cannot expect from the Nikon D5200.

Personal impressions

Brand new Nikon D5200 me liked, all in good style Nikon DX cameras. It’s a pity that with 60i, 50i people are a little fooled. I still use baby Nikon D40, since the availability of video shooting is not especially important for me, but photo quality depends not only on the camera... Usually, an amateur camera is bought for simple home photo tasks, for a seaside vacation or just for an amateur photo. For such tasks on camera, you don't need any super 'bells and whistles'. Therefore, I recommend buying older modelsuch as D5100, D3200 or D3100, and for the money saved, get a lens 18-105VR or 18-200VR... Of course, if funds allow, then D5200 - this is the best amateur camera for spring 2013 (when I wrote this review). You will find recommendations for choosing a camera and lenses here, optionally external flash will find here.

Conclusions

Nikon D5200 is a very good amateur camera, perfect for people who just want a good photo result without any extra effort. On the positive side, I want to note 39-point focus systemquality video 60 with stereo sound recording, rotary display, compactness and ease of operation.

  • Ivan

    Awesome colors) my d60 does not know how ((((

    • Dmitriy

      I believe that it is not in the D60;)

      • Anatoly

        Yeah, toda it’s not even a hat, but what it is worn on.

    • Sergei

      It's not about D60.
      Nikon D5200 CMOS - Far from Good Color Reproduction

      • Andrey

        I support: I’m used to the colors on the d60, now having both cameras, on the d5200 everything seems a bit of a strange shade.
        I was always of the opinion that the difference can be noticed only by color measurements in the graphics editor.
        In fact, setting the BB manually on the same white sheet, setting the same exposure parameters, we get different color images. Not worse or better, but different. You just have to get used to it, because 5200 outweighs d60 by its advantages.

  • Nicholas

    Arkady, first of all, I want to thank you for your articles! And secondly, I had a question: in the review you write that “You can use the camera from an outlet using an EH-5b AC adapter with an EP-5A connection”. Tell me, does the Nikon D5100 have such a function? If so, what do you need to use it? Thanks!:-)

    • Arkady Shapoval

      The D5100 can do this with the same device. Page 208 of the instructions for the D5100.

      • Nicholas

        Arkady, thanks for the quick reply!

      • Victor

        Arkady, you have a review of both 5100 and 5200. Which camera did you like more?

        • Arkady Shapoval

          I liked the D5200 more because of the focusing system, for me, as a photographer, this is a very important point. And the problem with short exposures is not for me as acute as they write about it.

      • Sasha

        Please tell me in this review it is written that the camera uses a pentamirror as an optical viewfinder with 95% coverage of the field of view and 0.78x magnification.
        About the d3100 they write: diopter correction of the viewfinder is only up to -1,7 diopters, for whom poor eyesight will not see a clear picture. Which one is better for me if I have myopia -2?
        Which option will you advise me, adjusted for my vision. I consider from 3100, 3200 ken 1100 to 5200. Thanks in advance.

        • Antip

          On the Nikon D90, the diopter eyecup, which was produced for Zenith, is great.
          Maybe it’s suitable for other models.

  • Andrei

    Hello Arkady. An excellent review. I waited a long time. Thanks. Not a big question. Built-in microphone. What sound does mono record or for stereo they offer to purchase an external microphone as you see in the picture above. And still off topic if it’s not difficult, the D7000 new body in the store costs at least 30000r by advertisement; it’s also used with an 18-55 lens; 2013r was bought in January 25000. A tempting offer is there to be afraid of since the overrun in price is big and the device can be with a lens (gray). And there are Chinese Nikon fakes. If it's not difficult, please reply in advance thanks.

    • Lynx

      I am not Arkady, but I will answer.
      a discount of 5 thousand - quite acceptable considering the used device. in general, there is a rule that a purchased item loses from a quarter to a third of its value IMMEDIATELY upon leaving the store.
      so 5 thousand is still not such a big discount. The cost of a whale 15-55 in the secondary market is generally from 1000 to 2500 rubles, so usually it is given to carcasses of this level simply "in the appendage", like a UV filter to the lens.
      And as for "fake" - you can ask to show warranty, native Nikon coupons, and / or by serial number, check on Nikon's website "how gray it is."

      • Andrei

        Thank you. If it turns out that the device is gray except for the lack of warranty, what else can you expect from it? And what is (gray) simply smuggled in or stolen?

  • Oleg

    Chip with crop video, not only Nikon. My Sony a77 also sprinkles video at any settings, and in auto panorama mode also sprinkles :(

  • Sergei

    To the Nikon D5200 review you can add:
    - the camera, due to the pixel density higher than that of Nikon D800 / 7000/5100, does not work well with inexpensive optics
    - has a diffraction threshold and aperture of 7.2 (approximately)
    - has a frenzied shake and lubrication
    - problems with skin tone and color rendering
    - shoots poorly at high ISO (worse than Nikon 5100/7000).

    total we have a camera that is capable of delivering pixel-by-pixel sharpness only on top-end optics (except for some fixes) and only in bright sunshine with an aperture of up to 7, with significant limitations on shutter speed.
    those. - a step back in the ability to get a good photo compared to Nikon 5100/7000.
    IMHO!

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Too many cameras are a step back - https://radojuva.com.ua/2013/04/nikon-mount-legend/

      • Sergei

        I’m now being offered the second-hand Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro 10000 on the counter for $ 350.
        Do you think it's worth it?

        • Arkady Shapoval

          10,000 is very small, especially for only 350 cu)

  • Alexey

    If the arms do not grow from there, you can also tear off the non-rotating one.

  • R'RёS,R ° F "RёR№

    I had 5100, now 7000, with regard to picture quality, it’s the same. I do not have enough rotary display, well, it’s very convenient. I changed it due to a screwdriver and focus correction.

    • Sergei

      I also had 5100 and 7000 but I must say that the 7000 has a different picture, more realistic in color. A wider 7000 DD plays its role + the battery is really cooler (I forget to charge)) well, in general it is a camera of a different level, you can’t align it with 5100 or 5200

      • Serg

        I had both cameras, the picture D5100 and D7000 is IDENTICAL. the matrix is ​​identical.
        D5100 is lighter and smaller, has no problems with autofocus and exposure meter, rotary screen.
        D7000 - screwdriver, precise autofocus support, additional screen on top, pentaprism instead of a pentamirror. Nikon D7000's problems with autofocus and exposure errors have been discussed many times.
        as a result, I sold the Nikon d7000.

      • Serg

        dynamic range difference in the laboratory Nikon d7000 vs Nikon D5100 Dynamic Range: 2.2%
        subtract the measurement error and the error of specific carcasses.
        What broader DD are you talking about in Nikon D7000? :)))

  • Igor

    Fuck ... Arkady, don't lose your brand of pro. On fig this is an advertisement called KIZYAK. The D200 is still nobody. with two or three exceptions, they have not yet surpassed. Good luck. Your fan.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      This is an amateur camera, so that's where you start. The camera performs the amateur function very well - everything else, including the comparison with the d200, is a completely different field of thought.

  • Gene jb

    Arkady, I read an article by Stelmakh about an experiment in $ 2000, and I would like to ask (of course this is not the segment, but still). Nikon really smears on BB in tight conditions, or is Stelmakh exaggerating?

  • Egor

    Great review, thanks again! Arkady, a small moment, probably a typo: “Previously, amateur-level cameras Nikon D3000, D3100, D5000, D5100, D3200 had a focusing system with 9 points ...”, probably from 11?
    Another question: does the automatic distortion control function work well? Really removes distortion by 18mm from 18-70? thanks

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Updated, this is a typo. It feels like it works every other time, maybe I didn’t carefully analyze the frames with and without it.

  • bearded man alexander

    And which d7000 or d5200 camera will give a better picture?
    Which one is less noisy?

    • Serg

      Nikon D7000

      • Andrei

        5200 is most likely less noisy than 7000, since the matrix is ​​newer than 5100 and 7000 (it is the same there), but 7100 will most likely tear them all with a slight margin

        • Serg

          in lab tests, the Nikon 5200 shows 8% more parrots than the Nikon D5100 in the Low-Light ISO setting.
          Nikon 7100 shows 2.2% less than Nikon 5200.
          total, taking into account the measurement error, all three devices are approximately equal.

          IN PRACTICE, it is easier (much) to take a sharp shot on the Nikon D5100 / 7000 in any conditions than on the Nikon 5200/7100.

          • Gene jb

            the more mp, the more exposure is needed under equal conditions.

  • Dmitriy

    Arkady thank you so much for your reviews.
    Your site currently has an overview of three new amateur cameras:
    - Nikon 5200;
    - Canon 650d
    - Pentax k-30.
    I think that many would like to see their comparison. It is difficult for beginners to decide on the choice of their first SLR camera, so you may find time to combine your reviews and impressions into one review.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Well, there will be time - I will.

      • Andrei

        Good evening Arkady
        which camera would you recommend for a landscape photo for a beginner

    • Stiv

      I would add to the above
      “- Nikon 5200;
      - Canon 650d

  • SERGEY

    Good evening in this article it is written that it is possible to control the shutter speed and ISO in a d5200 when shooting video in m mode, please tell me a question. Is it possible to control the shutter speed and ISO in d5100 thanks in advance for the answer

  • Alexey

    Arkady give advice! I choose a lens on the D5200 between Nikon AF-S 35 / 1,8 and Nikon AF-S Micro 40 / 2.8. I like the latter for the ability to shoot macro, is it suitable as a staffer, and is there a big difference in practice in aperture?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Yes, the difference in aperture ratio will be seriously felt. For butterflies and flowers, 35ct is also suitable, and for a staffer, 35t is better.

  • Alexey

    “By the way, I noticed one interesting feature when using lenses without a focus motor on the Nikon D5200, the 'Aut. distortion control 'does not work. "

    Hmm, "interesting feature" is described in the manual and when you press the "?" at the point “ed. distortion control ”.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Yes, that's right, the best overview is the instruction.

  • Nastya

    Great article! Thank you!))
    I would like to consult with you, I'm new to this business, I need a DSLR in principle for amateur photos (portraits, nature, but not just to take pictures, and then process them in Photoshop, I want to be able to fine-tune everything on the camera right away) I don’t know which all the same is better to take either d3100 or d5200 .. I’m directly torn between these two types)) what is the best advice?))

    • Arkady Shapoval

      D5200 is newer and better.

  • Vladimir

    Arkady, and in your opinion which camera is better than d5200 or Pentax K-30, I can not decide. Thank you

  • Vitaly

    ... and not a word about the anti-alias filter

    ps I wish that in your wonderful articles there would be less general words and more such specifics.

    ps What do you think about the characteristic “pixel density” and its importance for shooting (pros and cons)? http://vladimirmedvedev.com/dpi.html

  • Alexey

    Hello Arkady! Are you planning a review of the Nikon AF-S Micro 40mm f / 2.8 lens ???? I'd love to know your opinion about him!

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Send me a lens - I'll prepare a review :)

  • Sasha

    please tell me. I want to buy a Nikon 5100 camera and a Nikon 35 mm f1.8 lens because I want to shoot a video. I looked at this review and I liked 5200 because of the larger focus areas and smooth video 60 frames. Is this worth the attention for the video? so for money cameras differ significantly.

    • Sergei

      This question interests me too. Is the Nikon 35 mm f1.8 lens suitable for shooting video, and if not, which is better?

      • Volodymyr

        As the budget is adjusted, then even more manual high-power zooms (range +/- 1000 UAH) are even more pronounced, the mega sharpness is not particularly noticeable when the video is slow, but it’s not as good as the fullHD format is known in 2 megadeos. In order not to bother with expensive autofocus lenses, I’ll write off the autofocus for an hour, it’s practically unrepentant, and overpaying for those who want to focus on the thinness (no problem with hands) don’t bach reason + you can change the value of the apertures)))

  • Daria

    Good day, I am a journalist, I am interested in sports reports, let's not forget about home shooting, earn extra money at weddings, and video. Originally planned to acquire Nikon d5100. But I found out that this model came out, looked at this review, and I liked the 5200 because of the larger focusing zones and the smoothness of 60 frames video. In terms of money, the cameras differ significantly ...
    Help please!

    • Bogdan

      Daria, what's the problem?) We go on YouTube, drive in a Nikon d5200 video test (slow motion) and admire) I’ll add it from myself until I held Nikon in my hands, but according to the declared parameters I already surpassed the Sony nex vg10 camera, because slow motion in nikon goes to FullHD recordings. And on the aforementioned Sonya, I shot 3 docs of the film. So, I think I will buy this Nikon (and it doesn’t matter what they scream, take d5100 or d7000, I'm not a photographer, I'm more on video shooting)))

      • Jury

        If more on video, why a camera? For example, a full HD camcorder will cost less than a camera, and with a 64 GB card it allows you to shoot more than 2 hours in a row. It is like skiing for winter and rollers for summer. So is the video photo camera. At the same time, the quality on the camcorder will be many times better. I myself have a video camera, and now I also bought a d5200. Believe me, there is a difference in the photo and in the video, and it’s significant.

  • Konstantin

    Hello Arkady! When setting the ISO sensitivity, I set 400 or 800, but I can not figure out what value to set the maximum shutter speed, tell me !!! I shoot mostly in R. mode. Thanks in advance.

  • Natalia

    Hello! please tell me which lens to purchase after 18-55?
    to be universal .......... one was suitable for everything, not very expensive)))
    I'm still a beginner, I'm studying and would like to know for the future, when I already master 18-55

  • Galina

    Hello, please advise which camera is better to buy for a beginner photographer. nikon d5200 kit 18-55 or nikon d7000 ???

    • Arkady Shapoval

      For a beginner photographer - D7000, and for an amateur photographer - d5200

  • Jury
