Key Advantages

The Nikon D5200's 24.1 MP sensor produces crisp, high-detail images suitable for large prints and cropping flexibility. Its advanced autofocus system significantly improves focus speed and accuracy, beneficial for action and wildlife photography. The vari-angle LCD screen offers enhanced compositional freedom and ease of use in challenging angles. Full HD video capability with manual exposure controls appeals to hybrid photo/video users. ISO performance ensures usability in a broad range of lighting scenarios without compromising image quality. The camera's compatibility with an extensive ecosystem of Nikon lenses and accessories allows for versatile creative expression.

Limitations

The D5200 does not include built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, limiting direct wireless file transfer capabilities. Its continuous shooting speed of approximately 5 frames per second may be insufficient for professional sports or fast-action photography. The camera lacks weather sealing, making it less suitable for harsh environmental conditions. Video autofocus during recording is not as smooth as newer models, requiring manual focus adjustments. The absence of touchscreen functionality reduces ease of menu navigation and focus point selection. Battery life is moderate, potentially requiring spare batteries for extended shooting sessions.
