Key Advantages

The Nikon D5200 offers a high-resolution 24.1MP sensor which delivers impressive image detail suitable for large prints and cropping. Its EXPEED 3 processor enhances image clarity and allows for faster continuous shooting at 5 frames per second. The 39-point autofocus system improves focusing accuracy even in challenging scenes. Full HD video recording with manual controls provides flexibility for videographers. The articulated LCD screen facilitates shooting from various angles, including self-portraits. Furthermore, compatibility with Nikon's extensive F-mount lens lineup expands creative opportunities for photographers.

Limitations

Despite its strong feature set, the Nikon D5200 lacks built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, requiring optional accessories for wireless features. The camera does not offer weather sealing, limiting its durability under harsh conditions. Its buffer capacity restricts prolonged continuous shooting when using RAW format. The LCD, while articulated, is not touch-sensitive, which can reduce ease of menu navigation. The ISO performance, while good, may show noticeable noise above ISO 3200. Additionally, the absence of a stereo microphone input limits audio recording quality for videographers.
