Nikon D5200 reviews:

The CMOS sensor of Nikon D5200 is capable of recording lots of detail, especially at low sensitivity settings in RAW files. The articulating vari-angle screen make it easy to compose macro images as well as to check critical focus by magnifying the on-screen image. More details you can read on Nikon D5200 review from techradar.com website. The author of this D5200 review concludes:

The Nikon D5200 is a solid performer that delivers images with well-controlled noise and plenty of detail…

It’s also a nicely constructed camera, and the limited number of buttons and dials make it unintimidating to novice photographers, while enthusiasts will find that they have all the control that they want within easy reach.

 

The Nikon D5200 produces images of excellent quality with noise-free JPEG images at ISO 100-1600. More about image quality and performance of D5200 you can find on photographyblog.com website.

 

The back of the Nikon D5200 is dominated by the large articulated LCD screen, with buttons scattered around it. The Menu button is isolated on the top left shoulder, but all of the others can be operated without moving the hand from the shooting positions.
