Product Description

Colour Name:Black  |  Style Name:18-55mm VR Lens Kit

Product Description

Picture shows the three colour variations of the D5200.
The D5200 is available in red, black and bronze.

Discover New Perspectives with Nikon’s Inspirational D5200

From beautiful still photos to smooth Full HD movies, Nikon’s D5200 can’t wait to bring out your creative side. The third in this D-SLR series, the D5200 offers a huge leap in image quality.

The high resolution vari-angle LCD monitor empowers your vision with unique views. The 24.1-megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor captures finely detailed images, and the advanced 39-point autofocus system is always on target. Nikon’s amazingly accurate 2,016 pixel light metering sensor ensures exact exposures in even difficult lighting conditions. You can render special effects for movies or stills in real time, and Nikon’s optional WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adaptor lets you send your creations straight to a compatible smart device for instant sharing.

Ideal for anyone with a passion for photography, the D5200 is an intelligently designed lightweight camera, with clear menus and superior ergonomics, making it a pleasure to manoeuvre and use.

Breathtaking Image Quality

The DX-format, 24.1-megapixel CMOS sensor captures beautifully detailed photos and movies. Combined with the outstanding optical performance of NIKKOR lenses, the high resolution delivers images with vivid colour and striking contrast - ensuring big prints of your photographs look superb and can be cropped without losing any detail.

High Performance Image Processing

The D5200 comes equipped with the new EXPEED 3 image processor, also used in high-end models such as the D4. It provides high-speed operation and remarkably clear images with rich colour reproduction. Eyelashes and hair are rendered sharply and skin texture is reproduced more faithfully. Expeed also processes multiple tasks such as Active D-Lighting, high ISO noise reduction and continuous shooting without sacrificing speed or quality.

Shines in Low Light Situations

Enjoy the freedom that great low-light performance brings. The high ISO capability (100–6400 which is extendable to 25600) delivers brilliant shots in dark or poorly lit environments and produces sharp images of fast moving subjects. Setting high ISO sensitivity enables you to shoot at faster shutter speeds and capture pictures while avoiding image degradation caused by camera shake even in low-light situations or when shooting a moving subject. This superior high-sensitivity performance is also effective for D-Movie allowing you to record first-rate movies without the need for large-scale lighting equipment even when light is scarce.

Capture Fleeting Moments

The Nikon D5200 shares an AF system, metering sensor and scene recognition with the Nikon D7000 series, giving this camera a new level of performance and much enhanced image quality. The superior accuracy of the 39-point AF system and nine cross-type sensors delivers razor sharp images by maintaining focus on even the smallest subjects however unpredictable their movements may be. Meanwhile, the 2,016-pixel RGB metering sensor delivers precise metering for exact exposures and sends data to the camera’s Scene Recognition System to optimise auto exposure, focus and auto white balance immediately before the shutter is released. And continuous shooting at 5fps means you won’t miss that fast-moving action shot.

This picture shows the D5200's vari-angle LCD monitor in action.
Get amazing shots from virtually any position or viewpoint with the D5200's versatile vari-angle LCD monitor.

Amazing Images from Any Angle

Flip it, tilt it, turn it - explore your creativity with the D5200’s versatile high resolution 7.5cm (3-in), 921k dot vari-angle LCD monitor. This swivel monitor gives you the ultimate freedom and flexibility to take great shots and movies from virtually any position or point of view including great self-portraits.

Captures More Detail

In-camera High Dynamic Range (HDR) processing captures more detail when you shoot in high-contrast lighting conditions. Ideal for stationary subjects, the camera takes two shots at different exposures during a single shutter release, and then combines them into one stunning image with natural contrast. If your subject is on the move, Active D-Lighting helps you retain the details in both dark and bright areas when you shoot images in strong light, or in backlit situations.

Distinctive HD movies

The superb combination of the DX-format, 24.1-megapixel CMOS sensor and the NIKKOR lenses allows you to record full (1080p) HD movies with sharpness, clarity and fluid motion. With the flick of a switch, you can effortlessly alternate between shooting stills and Full HD movies with smooth recording (up to 60i/50i).

Nikon’s highly praised live view autofocus has full-time-servo AF (AF-F) and subject-tracking AF that keep your subjects sharp, even when they are in motion. Face-priority AF can instantly detect up to a maximum of 35 faces in a scene. In combination with NIKKOR lenses, the D5200 delivers fast, accurate autofocus during video shooting.

This picture shows a close-up view of the controls on the top of the D5200 camera.
Capture that tricky shot by using one of the D5200's 16 scene modes.

Inspirational Special Effects

Expand your creative possibilities and achieve even greater originality by adding striking effects to your movies and still photos. A range of special effects are available to use; for example, Selective Colour isolates any colour within the scene; Silhouette creates dramatic images with silhouettes of subjects against a bright background, and Colour Sketch creates colour outlines of the subject that are played back as a series of stills in a slide show. There are a total of seven effects and each mode can be applied in real time to images and movies through Live View so you can see exactly what your final creation will look like before you shoot.

Shoots the Scene Beautifully and Automatically - 16 Scene Modes

By selecting a mode according to the scene, the D5200 automatically chooses the most appropriate settings to deliver a perfect image. Each mode optimises the camera settings, such as shutter speed, ISO and aperture to the situation you are shooting. This allows you to capture amazing scenes which previously had been difficult to shoot.

Scene Modes include: Portrait, Landscape, Child, Sports, Close up, Night portrait, Night landscape, Party/indoor, Beach/snow, Sunset, Dusk/dawn, Pet portrait, Candlelight, Blossom, Autumn colours, Food.

Optional Wireless Capabilities

Share images that you are proud of by wirelessly transmitting them from your camera to an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet[1] using the optional WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adaptor. This means you can share your creations with friends via social networks and email for instant reactions. It is even possible to control your camera remotely from your smart device to help you take great shots without disturbing the subject.

And using your smart device or one of the optional WR-R10 or WR-T10 wireless remote control units, lets you control key camera functions from a distance, even if there are obstacles between you and the camera. Ideal for shooting self-portraits or preventing camera shake during shutter release.

Finally, by using the optional GP-1 unit, the D5200 can record the exact location each time a picture is taken, truly enabling future trips down memory lane.

[1] Compatible with iOS and Android smart devices. This feature requires use of a dedicated Wireless Mobile Utility application that can be downloaded for free from Google Play and the Apple iStore.

Recently received the D5200 as a birthday present from the wife which has now replaced my D3200

In comparison vs the D3200 the D5200 image quality is almost identical. I can't see much difference between both cameras although the D5200 does edge on overall sharpness. Both cameras produce fantastic image quality.

Where the D5200 scores big over the D3200 is down to the auto focus. Whereas the D3200 was fine, it did struggle to focus quickly using zoom lenses, especially the 70-300 VR and the 16-85 in low light conditions. No such problem with the D5200 as it locks on to your subject and focuses far quicker due to its superior focus system.

Other pluses for the D5200 over its little brother:

Screen.. Same resolution but I like the fact I can move it for tough shots and also close the screen when storing my camera away for additional protection.

Frames per second. Continuous shooting in fine JPEG mode on the D5200 vs more of a stutter in the D3200

Scene modes are a nice touch but not a huge plus but an additional feature over the D3200

Additional menus in the set up.

Better video processing.

HDR and Bracketing, ideal for landscape shots.

Better internal graphics and slightly easier access options to image settings

Both cameras suited for beginners as there is auto and scene modes. Select your mode and press the shutter button and you will see a stunning image.

Pound for pound the D3200 is probably the better camera for value for casual photographers who want a dslr for the occasional family gathering or day out. Or someone frustrated with the image quality and low light performance of a point and shoot compact camera.

I bought the D5200 as soon as it came out because it was rated as having the highest picture quality of any APS-C DSLR camera in the world. Don't take my word for it, check the DxO Mark score yourself. DxO is the most respected independent, scientific picture quality score in the world, and they find the D5200 to have the highest score of any non-full-frame camera in the world ever.
I immediately used it on a pro model shoot. And I reckon it really is stunning picture quality. The shots are stunning high-resolution, high-dynamic-range shots. Staggering really, considering the price. Personally I find the kit lens surprisingly good too.
The D5200 uses the same autofocus as the D7000, which is a really excellent autofocus, one of the best in the world, although the new D7100 has even slightly better autofocus.
Video quality is very good but the autofocus is a bit slow in the "live view" mode used during video.
Overall I can't fault this camera, it is a stunning piece of kit. Just think of this: ten years ago no camera in the world was this good, not at any price. Today you can get better, but only by paying several times more. My only reservation is that if you are a hobbyist the D3200 is almost as good for quite a bit less money. (The D3200 has about 3% lower picture quality according to DxO, and I reckon that's about right - I have both cameras and in 9 shots out of 10 I can't tell the difference, but in 1 shot in 10 the D5200 will have focused better and/or will have fractionally lower noise in darker areas). If you want to photograph sports, the D5200's smarter autofocus is probably worth paying extra for. But for general use, if the D3200 is significantly cheaper, logically it might be better value for money. One other option if you have more money to spend is the new D7100.

Fantastic camera! I had a Nikon D40x for many years, and finally thought it was time to upgrade. This is the perfect step up, it isn't too heavy (I tested out the D7000 before I got this, and it was just far too heavy), so is ideal for taking on travels, and gets some really fantastic photos.

Remember that this is a DX camera so with some lenses they will only work as manual lenses, but I actually prefer manual lenses so all is good. All in all a fab camera for enthusiasts dabbling in photography but not professional. Also because it isn't full-frame the camera crops slightly, so say a 35mm lens will actually look more like a 50mm.

I literally can't think of any negatives of the D5200, I love it. It's also *amazing* in low light conditions!

Selection of pics are below, they were taken in all sorts of situations and lighting conditions. Lenses used are all Nikon, 50mm, 35mm, and 55-300mm. Naturally please don't use any without crediting me - duh.

Definitely get this camera if you want high-quality photos but don't have the budget (or arm strength) for anything 'higher up' or full frame.

I own a D80 which is my workhorse camera and, until recently had a D70 as backup. Ideally I would have got an 'upgrade' to the d7100 as the latest mid/pro offering, relegating my D80 to be the backup, but when I saw the specs for the D5200 and the 50% difference in price (PLUS the nifty swivelling screen - I do the odd Youtube video, so that's a bonus) I decided to err on the side of financial sense.

For convenience sake, I wish I'd had the funds for the 7100.

Bad points:
Even though the 5200 takes a wonderful shot, and the lens is far better than I had imagined (being a tad disappointed with the older kit lens from the D70), I am finding the display screen a royal pain in the bum. I miss the twin dials at the top and the quick settings shift in the little manually lit lcd. Faffing about to change settings, especially in low light situations if you're after a candid shot (where suddenly all your potential subjects hide behind their handbags as they see your face light up whilst you scrabble to turn off the automatic-always-on-default flash), is not something I'd foreseen.
Also, I am thoroughly disappointed that Nikon never seem to continue with the same extras like batteries, shutter releases and, even though I knew before I bought, auto focus in older lenses. It's a smaller camera. The motor is in the newer lenses. It's fine if I'm doing stills and have the time to set up a shot, but my eyesight's not what it used to be (even with the viewfinder or 3inch screen option). So again, for me, 'candid' is hit and miss.
