New Update

After they upgraded the base model D3100 with D3200, they also upgraded their other two DX models D5100 by D5200 and D7000 by D7100. In this review we will take a look at D5200 and what all changes they have done to it. So on first look we did not notice much difference in the exterior from its

previous model, the D5100. Two major upgrades are in the megapixel count and the AF points: it was 16MP in D5100 and now it's 24MP in D5200. Also, its has now 39 AF points (with 9 cross-type sensors) that cover most of the frame; this count was 11 in D5100. The low light performance of this camera is also very impressive, and till ISO 3200 it gives crisp images. Other features are very much same as D5100.

The D5200 has a few more additional tweaks which include the same improved Auto ISO program that we first saw on the D800, which adds the ability to set the minimum shutter speed automatically based on the focal length of the lens in use. In the movie mode they have included more controls. You have the option of taking full control over all exposure values

- aperture, shutter speed and ISO - in M mode. So if you are looking for a high specs entry level camera or looking for a cheaper option then this is a perfect choice.
