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.

  • Nicholas

    Take the D7000, a great camera!

  • Alpia

    Good afternoon. I dreamed of a photo video camera ... and now my dream has come true, they will give it to me, but I absolutely do not know what to choose, because before I had an ordinary camera with simple settings, but completely unreliable, but easy to operate. Please tell me , how easy is the Nikon D5200 to use and how is it with the quality? I would not like what to choose once they give ;-)) please tell me (and it is not very expensive ??? )

    • Arkady Shapoval

      This is a good option :) The camera is easy to use, there is a mode with tips, it will be easier to figure it out.

      • Alpia

        Thank you so much! Is it not very expensive?

        • Arkady Shapoval

          I cannot know if this is dear to you or not. But D5200 is the latest generation camera and in my opinion its price is too high. You can take something similar for the same money and much cheaper, for example D5100 or D3200.

  • Olga

    please tell me what is better to take d5200 from 18-55 or d5100 from 18-105? I need a camera in order to take photos during a summer vacation at sea (I will photograph both relatives and friends against the background of nature and nature itself) I also plan to use it for photographing with friends (both outdoors and indoors) I really need your advice. help me choose between these two options and, if possible, briefly explain why you recommend taking this. Thank you in advance

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Better d5100 with a more versatile lens 18-105

  • Olga

    and which portrait is better to take? 35 or 50?

    • Dmitriy

      As a portrait it is better than 50 mm. 35 mm is good as a station wagon.

  • Alexey

    Good day. Recently became the owner of the Nikon D5200, and I have a question about the battery. It grabs him for about 30-40 photos of medium size, maximum quality and with constant on. vibration suppression on the lens 18-55. I want to clarify whether anyone has such a problem or is this normal. Thank you in advance.
    In operation 1,5 months.

    • Dmitriy

      This not normal. Contact the service. Even with live view enabled, 150-200 shots should be enough

      • Maria

        Enough for 500-600 shots!

  • Elena

    Hello. Arkady, please tell me which camera is better to take. d5100 or d7000? I need to shoot career car races and portraits. Now d3100, at first it seemed better there was no camera, now I am disappointed in it. It’s also important for me to be quick. d7000 like 6 frames per second, and d5100 5 frames per second. And another important point is that the approximation is maximum, but is this lens probably needed by another? and which lens to get as close as possible, so that the quality is not lost.

    • Dmitriy

      7000 would be the best option if money allows

  • Eugene

    Hello. Please tell me a good lens for this camera, universal, not expensive? For various shots. The main focus of pictures, family, nature, etc. I am a beginner lover. The first pictures will be at sea, on vacation.
    For earlier grateful.

    • Eugene

      I beg your pardon, it's about optics! I read my own message and realized that I wrote a little incomprehensibly ... :)

      • Volodimir

        Here, either Nikkor 18-105 3.5-5.6, or Tamron 17-55 2.8, altogether I would like to use the autofocus motor (just є decilka variable + road stabilizer)

  • Eugene

    Good afternoon, Arkady! I am the owner of d40 + nikkor 16-85. I’m thinking about buying a new carcass. Most inclined to d5200, tk. it is as light as the d40, which is important for me, because the neck is not breech) This is certainly not the only argument, but very weighty in comparison with more advanced models of magnesium alloy. But confuses a large number of megapixels. How will my 16-85 lens behave with it, will it open 24 megapixels? And in general, will I win much as a picture?

    • gray

      win if you buy a good high-aperture, zoom or fixed lens from nikkor to your d40

  • Alexander

    Good afternoon! I'm an amateur. There was Zenit-ET, now I bought a Nikon D5200. Faced a problem: in the "H" mode (continuous fast shooting) in the "P, A" mode, the camera instead of 5 frames / sec, produces 3 frames and then with some kind of slowdown. Although the mode was not switched to slow. Perhaps the matter is in some settings, so please help me figure it out. The camera is new. Thanks in advance.

    • Dmitriy

      The claimed 5 fps will be with all image processors turned off and in good light (after all, you cannot shoot 5 fps with a shutter speed of 2 seconds :))

      • Arkady Shapoval

        The camera can shoot at a speed of 5k / s with any quality settings and shutter speed no longer than 1 / 200s. The only question is the frame buffer.

  • Roma

    Good day! Tell me a good versatile lens to 5200

    • anonym

      70-300 with a stub, certainly you will like

    • Dmitriy

      If you need 1 lens then take 18-300. And if something more specific then specify your tasks for shooting.

  • Ivanna

    Arkady, good day! I want to buy my first mirror camera with the prospect of an ear of professional performance. How can the D5200 satisfy my needs, how can I buy additional equipment for the stock portrait Nikon 50mm f / 1.8G AF-S Nikkor etc ??? I will be even more vyachna for the answer)

    • barmales

      to start professional activities, it’s better to immediately buy more lenses, for example: 18-105,50 1.8g, and take a cheaper DSLR camera for example: d5100, or advanced amateur d90, with it you can save on the purchase of lenses
      after all, having good glass, you can get a very good result, even with older csk from nikon, such as: d40, d80

    • Dmitriy

      For professional activities, I advise you to start with d7000. Out of 5200, grow very quickly with a professional approach.

  • Alina

    Hello, please advise which camera is better nikon d5200 or canon 60d? Whale lenses 18-55 mm?

    • petunia

      both SLRs are good, but the lenses are flimsy, first of all, a good lens is so important in photography, and you can buy a CZK more easily.

    • Dmitriy

      Whale is better with Nikon. I vote for 5200

  • Alexey from Primorye

    Arkady I ask for your help. After purchasing the D5200 with 18-55 lens, I intended to purchase another add-on. objective, but later, and then a business trip to Moscow. The result of the trip is the conclusion that the lens needs a fast and long focus. The site plowed up and down, but I can't come to a final conclusion. I ask you to help me decide on a lens for fast shots in motion (excursions) + One thing I understood for sure that two objects are not convenient, since I had to twist from beginning to end Something close, something far Stabilizer is very good Therefore, I decided that the lens should be one from 18 to ... ..But the issue of focusing speed is important to me Since a good part of the photo is blurred.
    Thanks in advance

  • barmales

    Lesha, if a van needs fast and tenacious focusing + a teledeposon, I advise you to take a closer look at a full-fledged 70-300 telephoto with a stub, he has very good and fast focusing, although in the range from 200-300mm focus is a little slower, but still faster than 18 -55. The vibration suppression system showed itself very well when working at the long end and when shooting a static object, set the shutter speed to 1 \ 8 and without lubrication, before that at this shutter speed but from 18-55 and 18-105 the lubricants were more frequent, the stub is really cool to compare with whales there is no point. the quality of the picture is good m urovne.polzuyus Lenses such a time, he prevzashol my expectations, very pleased at this preobreteniya.

    • Dmitriy

      70-300 there is no doubt a chic lens, but 70 mm of minimum focal length impose strong restrictions, especially on the crop. Of the zoom lenses with a large focal length from 18 mm, there are 18-200 and 18-300, but they are not fast and their focus is far from being as fast as at 70-300

  • Sergei

    Arkady, please help with choosing a camera. I want to buy a gift for my wife, she likes to take pictures but is not a professional, before that we did not have a SLR. The device is needed for a family for vacation, sea, mountain, ski, etc. that is, universal with good quality. Already aimed like the D3200 but more and more I want the D5200, the difference is between us
    Nikon D5200 Kit 18-105 - $ 992
    Nikon D3200 Kit 18-105 - $ 717
    it seems like it’s not big, but is it worth it to overpay for it so much so that then you can use it only for yourself (we do not plan to earn it). Help determine whether those pluses of the 5200 model are worth the difference in money?
    Thank you in advance.

    • petunia

      if the focusing and metering systems have a role for you, then 5200 will be more elegant, if not, then give 3200 it is easier for women’s hands, and with a whale lens both the 5200 and 3200 lenses will not differ much in quality from friend.

    • anonym

      whale 3200, and even half a half 50.1.8g - this is a set of what you need

  • Svetlana

    Arkady, hello! Is the Nikon 24-120mm f / 4G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor lens good for the D5200? Thanks.

  • Ilona

    Hello. Painfully choose the first SLR. I can’t choose between Nikon D5200 Kit 18-105 and Pentax K-30 Kit DA 18-135 mm WR. I will shoot both in the studio and moving objects. What do you advise?

  • semen

    Nikon’s focusing system will be better, which will positively affect the shooting of dynamic scenes, and in general it’s completely different CZK it just makes no sense to compare them

      Thanks. Initially only considered D5200 Kit 18-105. But in the store I held a Pentax K-30 and got lost ... The lenses are really on sale only 18-55. We'll have to order in the internet. Pentax fits better in the hand, I like auto focus and colors more. And the characteristics are better in 5200. I will be like a Buridan donkey, I cannot choose and I will die without a fotik ..

        take what fits in your hand ... everything else, all these characteristics, megapixels and so on - is secondary. The point is in a fotik, if he has possessed characteristics, but to shoot them - the soul doesn't lie?

    Hello! I want my husband to order a SLR as a gift! I can not decide! Advise please! I am a lover. I want both eyelashes and nature and all sorts of little things to be clearly!

      ki 5100 + 18-105 or, and to get good results you need a skill and understanding of the principles of operation of digital mirror cameras,

  • Dmitriy

    Good day! The best blog! At the moment, for me as an alphabet. I read some articles several times.
    I can not choose a camera
    Choosing the first DSLR:
    1) D5200 lens 18-55
    2) D3200 lens 18-105
    I don’t know what to chase after the 18-105 lens (does he deserve this?) Or the d5200 carcass!
    3) The nexx 5RL lens 16-50 is on the side.
    The goal is to enjoy not only photography, but also the photography process! I really need advice!

      Dmitry, I advise you to choose, according to this principle, a good lens or two, and for delivery a carcass,
      since the quality of prints depends directly on the lens on the digital SLR, and not on the back.

      • Dmitriy

        Semen, thanks! Then I take d3200 paired with 18-105. As I understand it, 18-105 is not bad for a start. A 18-200 or 16-85 until I pull :(
        Third-party manufacturers, as I understand it, are a lottery with quality and reliability.

        • Dmitriy

          The quality of 18-55 does not differ from 18-105, the loss is only in focal. Take better than 5200, if the soul to the photo lies the lens, buy nowhere to go. And even better 7000.

    Hello. What kind of camera with a rotary screen do you recommend
    (Canon EOS 700D. Canon EOS 650D. Canon EOS 600D. Canon EOS 60D) -Nikon D5200? is there anything better on this list of Nikon D5200) considering that nikon has a 39-point AF system and audio recording in stereo ????

  • Olga

    hello help !!!!!! scratched the display on the brand new Nikon 5200 and the scratch is big. maybe there is something to make it less visible ???????????????????????? 7

    • Lynx

      Yes. look less at the display, for example.
      or take it for repair, pay 2 to 5 thousand, and replace the screen.

    • Vyacheslav

      Most likely you scratched the protective glass of the display and can change it in half an hour in the Nikon company service for 1500-2000 r.
      I also scratched it myself, since it is not durable, but I have a small scratch and I put a protective screen on top of it.

  • specialist

    take it to the service

  • Julia

    Tell me how to be. I want to buy a camera. It is better to take the Nikon D5200 kit (AF-S DX18-55mm VR) for 27000 or the Nikon D5100 Kit 18-55 VR 55-200 for 25000. Is there any point in overpaying or is it easier to take a camera with two lenses?

    • Lynx

      IMHO - I would take 5100 with two lenses. Better 5100 with one 18-105, and only then looked at how to "increase the park of optics."
      5200 should be taken if you seriously want to bother with video, microphones and more.

    • Dmitriy

      55-200 lens is not very ... If it were 55-300, then you might think, but take 5200
