Discontinued: No longer produced by the manufacturer. May still be in stock or found used.Digital Camera Description
The Nikon D5200 is a Entry-Level DSLR with an APS-C sensor and a Nikon F lens mount. Its 24 Megapixels CMOS sensor offers an ISO 100-6400 sensitivity range which is expandable to ISO 100-25600. This makes it possible to shoot hand-held in very low-light. With 24 MP of resolution, sharp prints are possible up to 25" x 16" at 240 DPI.
This camera features a mechanic shutter that can expose for 1/4000 to 30s. Bulb exposures of an unspecified duration are possible with this camera. With a fastest shutter-speed of 1/4000, fast action can easily be frozen. Night photography is possible using this digital camera due to its long exposure capability. This camera model offers Full Manual Controls.
The Nikon D5200 features a 39-point Phase-Detect AF system. Autofocus can continuously adjust according to subject distance. A Real-Time Autofocus Tracking System allows focus to follow a moving subject within the frame. Manual Focus is also available.
A single control-dial on this camera makes it easy to use semi-automatic modes by adjusting the current exposure parameter directly This camera does not feature any seals to protect it against adverse weather, dust and moisture. Care must be taken, just like with most electronics. Framing on the Nikon D5200 is performed via a small reflex optical viewfinder with 0.78X magnification and 95% coverage. This magnification is equivalent to 0.49X on a Full-Frame camera.
