Key Advantages

The D5200 delivers high-resolution images thanks to its 24.1MP sensor, providing detailed and crisp photographs. Its 39-point autofocus system ensures accurate subject tracking and focus, which is advantageous for dynamic shooting scenarios. The EXPEED 3 processing engine facilitates fast performance and improved image quality. Compatibility with a wide variety of Nikon F-mount lenses enhances shooting versatility. Vari-angle LCD screen improves usability by allowing shooting from unconventional angles. Additionally, Full HD video recording capabilities with manual exposure controls enable advanced videography options.

Limitations

While the D5200 offers excellent imaging capabilities, it lacks built-in Wi-Fi, limiting wireless connectivity options without additional accessories. The camera’s body does not have weather sealing, making it less suitable for harsh environmental conditions. It does not support 4K video recording, which is common in newer models. The absence of a touchscreen on the LCD may limit ease of menu navigation and focus selection. Battery life, while decent, may be insufficient for extended shooting without spare batteries. The camera also does not feature an electronic viewfinder, relying instead on an optical pentamirror which may be less bright compared to pentaprism-type viewfinders.
