Review based on a production Nikon D5200 with firmware 1.00
As Nikon's 'advanced beginner' DSLR, the D5200 sits between the entry-level D3200 and the enthusiast-targeted D7100 in the company's most recent APS-C lineup. The D5200 offers 24MP resolution (like its APS-C stablemates), an articulated rear LCD and more physical controls than the D3200, but without the twin-dial interface and professional grade AF system of the decidedly higher market (and much more customizeable) D7100.
On the outside, the D5200 is virtually identical to its predecessor, the D5100, with external changes limited to a dedicated drive mode button on the D5200's top plate, stereo microphone grills atop the pentamirror - like on the Canon EOS 650D - and a slightly redesigned rear multi selector. The D5200's more significant upgrades lie 'under the hood'. Impressively, many of these are inherited from higher-end Nikon DSLRs, including a 39-point AF system with 9 cross-type sensors and ample frame coverage, and a 2016 pixel RGB color-sensitive metering sensor, both taken from the D7000. The D5200 borrows from the D7100 a well-implemented Auto ISO feature that is tied to the lens' current focal length.
Although the D5200 shares the same 24MP resolution as both the D3200 and D7100, the D5200 offers a higher extended ISO range compared to the D3200 (25600 vs 12800) and faster continuous shooting (5 fps vs 4). And the D5200, unlike the D7100, continues to use an anti-aliasing (AA) filter, although as we demonstrated in a side by side comparison in our D7100 review, it gives up precious little in terms of detail to its more expensive big brother.
For video shooters, the D5200 can record Full HD 1920 x 1080 movies at up to 60i or 50i (when set to NTSC and PAL respectively), although this uses a central crop of the sensor area. More conventional 30p, 25p and 24p modes use the full width of the sensor. In manual mode you have the option to take limited control of both shutter speed and ISO, but not aperture. And a stereo sound meter lets you adjust the level of either the built-in or or external mic, such as the optional ME-1 stereo mics.
The D5200 gets a processing boost over its predecessor. Nikon touts its EXPEED 3-branded processor as offering higher speed, better color reproduction and improved noise reduction. The D5200 also has an updated, cleaner design to the on-screen user interface that presents more information in a more-logical layout. This is welcome on a small camera with relatively few external controls since much of the user interaction is, by necessity, via the rear screen (and lots of button pressing).
The D5200 also supports Nikon's WU-1a Wi-Fi unit, which plugs into the camera's accessory terminal and allows images to be transmitted wirelessly to a smartphone or tablet for uploading to social media. The device can also be used as a remote control for the camera, complete with Live View.
How to choose the best camera for you?What to look when buying a camera?
Types of cameras
Digital cameras are of four types:
compact, usually small and cheap point & shoot (automatic), but also more expensive with advanced manual control;Compact cameras are easy to transport.
Bridge, compact, advanced, larger, high zoom;It is for those who want a more advanced manual control and a versatile device.
System compact, compact with interchangeable lenses, are the most demanding devices, for beginners, enthusiasts and professionals.
DSLR plants, with large sensor, interchangeable lenses and advanced manual control;addresses both beginners and the most advanced professionals.
There are two types of sensors: CCD and CMOS based manufacturing technology.Producers prefer lately cameras CMOS sensors, which consume less energy, are cheaper and provide better pictures in low light (BSI-CMOS sensor).Details: Classified Photo: Sensor CCD, CMOS or CMOS-BSI?
The sensors have different sizes of cameras.Compact and bridge devices have small sensors (Type 1 / 2.3 and 1 / 1.7 or 1 inch) and mirrorless and DSLR devices have large sensors (type 1 or 4/3 inch - mirrorless APS -C or full frame - DSLR).
In general, it is considered that a larger sensor ensures better image quality.What really matters is the size of the pixel.We find larger pixels in larger sensors.Most of the devices are compact and bridge sensors with smaller pixels crammed featuring photos of poorer quality and less noise.Mirrorless and DSLR sensor devices have larger with larger pixels and provides a better quality image.
With a smaller sensor, the picture you get a smaller piece of the scene, than you get full frame sensor (35mm film equivalent).It's like if you zoom in using the same objective, both at full frame sensor apparatus and the one with the smaller sensor.You need a larger sensor for example if you shoot landscapes, groups of people or if you want to get easier bokeh effect (blurred background).
Megapixels
The number of megapixels is not commensurate with the picture quality.As mentioned above, the image quality is better if the pixels are larger.No more!Mean fewer pixels on a bigger sensor.The number of megapixels is directly proportional to the size of the photos obtained.For print, high quality, multi-megapixel camera you need.But people do not buy a camera to wallpaper the walls with his pictures, but to look at them on the PC screen and eventually print them on A6 or A5 format, can and A4.For such prints need at least 10 to 12 megapixels.
Greater number of megapixels is useful for beginners.If Framed wrong topic, if you want to zoom in or if you want to straighten horizon, you have to cut the photo.When you have enough pixels will remain a big enough picture quality for print or post it on Facebook.Details: User photo: counts the number of pixels?
A sensor with high resolution (with multi-megapixel) photo has the advantage that reproduce in greater detail and finer.But on the other hand, requires quality objectives and shorter exposure times.If you decide to buy a camera with higher resolution takes into account the good objectives are more expensive, and the device is more demanding.It is not even easy to get sharp images in any conditions, with a high resolution camera.It may take into account that it is advisable to learn something about the triangle of exposure that you get sharp photos, photo or take a course.
ISO, aperture and shutter
ISO (light sensitivity), aperture (aperture) and shutter forms the so-called triangle of exposure.With these three parameters control the light reaching the sensor.Each parameter is detailed below.
ISO Sensitivity
With ISO Control sensor's sensitivity to light.On a sunny weather you need ISO low (50, 80 or 100) weather with clouds ISO between 200 and 400. For indoor or evening you can go up to ISO 800, ISO 1600 or 3200. As is greater both in picture noise will be higher, colors are faded fine details disappear.Few appliances make quality pictures with high ISO (over 1600 to 3200).At higher ISO machine will try to reduce the noise using the processor.But the noise reduction process inevitably leads to loss of detail.For details see: Classified Photo - ISO sensitivity.
Lately there were several cameras with sensors that produce less noise and processor that controls noise at high ISO very well.See for example Fujifilm X-M1,Fujifilm X-A1 or Sony A7.
Apertura (aperture)
For better pictures in low light you can opt for a camera or a lens with large aperture (F1.4, F2, F2.8).A higher aperture (large hole) let more light to reach the sensor.The size of the aperture determines the depth of field.Depth of field is the photo that appears unclear.As the sensor is larger aperture and easier to obtain bokeh effect (subject clearly blurred background).
Appliances and objectives are generally cheaper and smaller aperture greater depth of field.For more details about aperture and photo see: Guide Photo: Apertura.
Exposure Time
With shutter control how the photo will be recorded movement.With a long shutter speed (1/4000 sec. - 1/500 sec.) Freeze motion.With a higher shutter speed create sensation, rivers or register silky movements of the stars in the sky (1/80 - 30 sec. Or higher).Click on image to enlarge.
It would be desirable to have a beach camera exposure time as possible.This great beach but is found only in more expensive devices and DSLR's.With other cameras you have to make a compromise, you can not freeze moves very fast and you can not get the release of light from car headlights or the stars.For details see: Classified Photo - shutter.
The objective
One of the most important components of the camera is the lens.In vain buy an expensive camera with large sensor that can do well at high ISO photos, etc.if you have a bad objective.With a better lens can have a good clarity not only in photography but also the center to the edges.A good lens has better contrast and better resolution, lens treated with different substances and is so constructed as to eliminate the chromatic aberration and so-called lens flare or ghosting effects (occurring in picture if you pull toward the sun ).
A good lens has good optical stabilization.You can get a gain of some gears and rear (3 to 4).Earn gears means you can use a longer exposure time for the image to stand without moving.With a good stabilization can take sharp photos and evening with ISO lower and a higher shutter speed (1/80, 1/60, 1/25 sec.).
The goals are of two types: fixed focal length or variable focal length.In general stationary (first) get clearer pictures, but these goals are very specialized.Zoom lenses are versatile and can shoot in many situations.
Compact and bridge cameras have non-removable lens.Appliances mirrorless interchangeable lens DSLR works.As a beginner it probably will interest a broad objective for landscapes (18-55 mm) and a longer one to approach a subject (maximum focal length 100, 200 or 300 mm).You might also be interested in a macro lens for close-up pictures or one with fixed focal, wide or longer for a better quality image.
The focal length determines the angle of view.A broad objective has a wide viewing angle and is suitable for shooting landscapes or family.A long lens (long focal length) approaches a subject and decrease the viewing angle.
For example, a compact (diagonal sensor 1 / 2.3 mm) and a lens with a focal length of 170 mm can approach a person on 50m.As the sensor is higher so you need a longer lens to zoom in the same subject from the same distance.So for example, if the camera is DSLR (large sensor, APS-C), you need a zoom lens from 680mm to 50m person.
To compare two goals between them have to look at the equivalent focal length for a full frame sensor (35mm type).
Optical zoom
Zooms are wide at one end and telephoto focal length at the other end.Zoom is the ratio between the maximum and minimum focal length.Such an objective 18-200 mm has a 11x zoom = 200/18 =.
Digital zoom
The digital zoom means Taira photo to zoom topic.Lately manufacturers of cameras have improved digital zoom and cut images are better quality.Anyway digital zoom decreases the image quality.Digital zoom is not a criterion for buying a camera.
Viewfinder and LCD
The viewfinder is large and heavy appliances important.The viewfinder is useful when it is sunny outside and on the device display is not visible almost nothing.Not only see what photos but are displayed in the viewfinder and different information about camera settings.
Viewfinder tunnel can be optically or electronically.Viewfinder tunnel is a hole in the machine.Electronic viewfinder offers 100% coverage advantage, but not always has a high resolution (image sharpness, details).The viewfinder image is clear, but to expensive devices have 100% coverage.Less coverage means that in the viewfinder, the scene will be less than what you get in the picture.If the camera viewfinder does not seek one that has a good screen, with resolution as high as possible and with high contrast, like to see something in him when the sun is out.There is no perfect screen.If I see well he might not be displayed very faithful colors or white balance.
Hinged or folding screen is good to photograph the top or bottom to make self portraits or shooting.Some devices have touch screen.Resistive touch screen responds harder, the capacitive might be too sensitive and trigger who knows what accident.The touch screen is interesting, but I'd settle for a device without touch screen.
Focus automatic and / or manual
In a year or two ago it was practically impossible to focus manually with a digital camera.Most digital cameras have only automatic focus.Manual focus is useful when the device fails to automatically focus or when you want to achieve something special in a photo.Lately appeared that assist devices for manual focus.Whether the image is zoomed or marked areas that are in focus (focus peaking).
Auto focus is desirable to be fast both in good light and in light of the weaker.Not all devices are able to focus quickly and accurately in light of weaker.Autofocus also depends on the points of focus.They appear bright on the screen or in the viewfinder.A larger number of points of focus helps when shooting landscapes moves faster.Accurate focus points are the cross.DSLR cheaper devices usually have a single point of focus in the cross in the middle.Compact devices have areas of focus.
Video
For video it is important to have a decent framerate (at least 30 frames / sec.), The movie that is not jerky.Few devices also offer HD-quality video (720), most offering Full HD (1080).Ideal as a progressive scan (1080p or 720p), but many appliances provides full resolution and frame rate only interlaced scan maximum.Or offer progressive scan at maximum frame rate in NTSC mode only, and not PAL.If you want to use the camera and filmed it would be good to have an articulated screen.If you also enable a stabilization while shooting you go.
Image stabilization
Cheaper cameras offer Electronic or digital.This means that increase the ISO to get a shorter exposure time and so the image is not moved out.Good cameras offer a stabilization or sensor shift type lens shift.For devices is desirable mirrorless DSLR and a lens shift-type stabilization, rather than a displacement sensor (in the unit) is adapted for proper that objective.Stabilization helps when using higher shutter speeds (1/80, 1/60, 1/40 to 1/20 sec.).With a good stabilization you can make better pictures in the evening or indoors without using a tripod.Stabilization is important to the devices that have a large zoom lens.Details: Classified Photo: The image stabilization is better?
Memory card
The memory card should be fast (speed class 10) if I buy a camera that records full HD or will use continuous shooting.The capacity should be at least 8 GB if you record video or take photos in RAW format you.For compact devices are OK and slower cards.
Battery
Battery life varies depending on camera type and size.With a satisfactory battery you can do about.300-400 shots with one good 500 photos or over, and with very good about.1000 photos.Some devices allow attaching a grip and using two batteries, one in grip, in another device, or both batteries in grip.
