Key Advantages

The Nikon D5200 offers exceptional image quality with a high-resolution 24.1 MP sensor and no optical low-pass filter for enhanced sharpness. Its 39-point autofocus system ensures precise focus tracking and accuracy. The vari-angle LCD makes it convenient to shoot from difficult angles and compose images creatively. Full HD video recording with continuous autofocus delivers smooth and clear video capture. The camera features an easy-to-use interface, appealing to both beginners and enthusiasts. Support for a wide ISO range enables effective low-light photography without significant noise.

Limitations

The Nikon D5200 lacks weather sealing, making it less suitable for harsh environmental conditions. It does not have a built-in Wi-Fi module, requiring purchase of an external adapter for wireless connectivity. The maximum continuous shooting speed is limited to 5 frames per second, which may be insufficient for high-speed sports photography. Its buffer depth can be quickly saturated when shooting in RAW format at high frame rates. The camera does not support 4K video recording, limiting video resolution to 1080p. Battery life is average compared to newer models, potentially requiring spares for extended shooting days.
