Nikon D5200 Samples

The Nikon D5200 is compared to the Nikon D3200
Nikon D3200 which also has a 24 megapixels sensor. All images below are 100% unmodified crops from their respective cameras. ISO, aperture and WB were set on the camera, with remaining settings left on automatic. The D5200 had the Nikkor AF-S DX 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6G VR
Nikkor AF-S DX 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6G VR lens while the D3200 had the Nikkor AF-S DX 17-55mm F/2.8G IF-ED
Nikkor AF-S DX 17-55mm F/2.8G IF-ED. Unfortunately, this was the only lens available with the D5200. Despite custom white-balance registering perfect white on a target white-balance card, colors still look off in certain areas. This indicates an uneven color response from the D5200.

Despite noise-reduction being turned off for both cameras, they clearly apply an increasing amount at each ISO. This explains why things get gradually softer and does a decent job at hiding image noise. ISO 1600 is where noise becomes disruptive. By 3200, possible print sizes are limited. The expanded ISO 12800 setting is usable for emergencies, while 25600 is beyond that.
