Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- 24.1MP DX-format sensor produces detailed images with room for cropping and large prints.
- 39-point autofocus with 9 cross-type sensors and 3D tracking handles static and moving subjects effectively.
- Vari-angle LCD enables flexible shooting angles including low, overhead, and forward-facing compositions.
- Two-lens kit covers 18-200mm focal range, providing wide-angle to telephoto versatility out of the box.
- 5 frames per second continuous shooting captures fast action sequences reliably.
👎 Cons
- Included 18-55mm and 55-200mm lenses lack vibration reduction (VR), increasing the risk of blur in handheld low-light shooting.
- Wi-Fi and GPS require separate accessories rather than being built into the camera body.
- ISO performance above 3200 introduces noticeable noise, limiting clean handheld shooting in dim conditions.
- No built-in microphone input level control reduces flexibility for serious video recording.
- Single SD card slot offers no in-camera backup redundancy.
Frequently Asked Questions
What two lenses are included in this kit?
This kit includes the Nikon 18-55mm and 55-200mm lenses (non-VR versions), covering focal lengths from wide-angle to telephoto for a broad range of shooting situations.
Does the D5200 have built-in Wi-Fi or GPS?
No. The D5200 is compatible with optional Wi-Fi and GPS accessories sold separately. These add-on adapters enable wireless image transfer, remote camera control, and geotagging.
Can the vari-angle LCD screen be used for selfies or overhead shooting?
Yes. The 3-inch vari-angle LCD with 921,000 dots swings out and rotates, allowing you to compose shots from high angles, low angles, or facing forward for self-portraits and vlogging.
What memory card format does the D5200 use?
The D5200 uses a single SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card slot. For best performance with continuous shooting and HD video recording, a fast Class 10 or UHS-I card is recommended.
How does the 39-point autofocus system perform in low light?
The 39-point AF system with 9 cross-type sensors provides reliable focus acquisition in moderate lighting. The center cross-type sensors offer the strongest low-light performance, while the 3D tracking mode helps maintain focus on moving subjects across the frame.
