It utilizes the EXPEED 3 image processing engine to deliver high-speed performance and superior image quality. The camera supports a wide ISO range from 100 to 6400, expandable to 25600, ensuring versatility in various lighting conditions. Autofocus is handled by a 39-point AF system with 9 cross-type sensors for precise subject tracking. The DSLR incorporates a 3-inch vari-angle LCD screen with 921,000 dots for flexible live view shooting and easy image review. Additionally, full HD 1080p video recording at 30fps is supported with stereo sound recording and manual exposure control options.

Built with an optical pentamirror viewfinder offering approximately 95% frame coverage, the D5200 balances portability and performance. It uses SD/SDHC/SDXC cards for storage and has a continuous shooting speed of up to 5 frames per second, suitable for capturing fast action.

Key Advantages

The Nikon D5200 offers a high-resolution 24.1 MP sensor that captures detailed and sharp images. Its advanced 39-point autofocus system ensures reliable focus tracking under diverse shooting scenarios. The vari-angle LCD screen facilitates creative shooting angles and easy framing in live view mode. Video enthusiasts benefit from full HD 1080p recording with manual exposure controls. The camera's ISO expansion allows shooting in low light with minimized noise. Its compatibility with a wide range of Nikon lenses enables extensive photographic flexibility.

Limitations

The D5200 utilizes an optical pentamirror rather than a pentaprism viewfinder, resulting in slightly reduced brightness and coverage (~95%). It lacks built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, requiring external accessories for wireless image transfer. The camera's buffer fills after approximately 11 continuous RAW shots at 5fps, limiting longer burst shooting. The plastic construction, while lightweight, may feel less robust compared to more professional-grade cameras. Additionally, the absence of weather sealing restricts use in harsh environments. Lastly, it does not support 4K video recording, limiting video resolution options compared to newer models.
