Key Advantages

The Nikon D5200 offers high-resolution 24.1MP image capture for detailed and crisp photos. Its EXPEED 3 processor enhances performance and noise reduction, especially in low-light conditions. The articulated LCD screen provides flexible shooting angles, perfect for creative framing. The 39-point autofocus system ensures fast and accurate focus tracking. Full HD video recording capabilities with manual adjustments cater to videographers. Additionally, the camera’s compatibility with a wide range of Nikkor lenses ensures versatile photographic options.

Limitations

The Nikon D5200 lacks built-in Wi-Fi, requiring an optional adapter for wireless connectivity. Its buffer depth limits extended continuous shooting sessions, which may affect action photography. The camera's video autofocus during recording can be noisy and less smooth compared to newer models. The absence of a weather-sealed body reduces durability under harsh conditions. Battery life is moderate and may require spares for extended use. Compared to more recent cameras, the ISO range is relatively limited for extreme low-light environments.
