Nikon D5200, New Sensor Powerful Processor for Sharp Image




Many people have been waiting for this; Nikon has officially release the Nikon D5200 DX-format camera. At first I thought it’s going to be minimum improvement, but not. Nikon D5200 has so many improvements, mostly from its new sensor and image processor.

Nikon D5200 now equipped with a 24MP APS-C Sensor from Sony, this the same used in Sony’s new DSLR now. It’s not stopped there; Nikon put the new EXPEED-3 image processor inside the body. If you ever know that most of the reviewer and photographer agreed that D7000 results the best image quality, this one claimed better (a few better according to snapsort.com). This is the result of both new processor and sensor.

As the class of the camera now is above the D5100 (still under D7000), Nikon adds useful feature to the camera. Iso from 100 to 6400 (expandable to 25600), 39-focus point, and a vari-angle TFT monitor with 170° viewing angle.



The video feature can record video up to 30 minute, and this one can keep the focus during movie recording, keep the object on the screen on focus. Yes, most of the dslr camera nowadays equipped with video mode. It affected the no in-body focus motor, since the new lenses some using the ultrasonic lenses which are very quite that the motor rotation sound will not be recorded on video. No old lenses will be able of auto focusing though. This is another interesting feature, you can control the camera and transfer the image to your android smartphone, with some application that you can download from Google Play™ and the Apple App Store™. I suppose Nikon realize the trend of gadget "data share and remote" feature will become a must feature in the next digital era. One step forward from Nikon. However, many of the control function will have to be accessed from the "unhandy" menu button. Though, Nikon set a "Fn" button under the flash button to gain access to some feature, I'm still wonder why Nikon don't make rear button as shortcut to many control menu. You can set the Fn button to reach one of these control menu function:

 • Image quality/size
 • ISO sensitivity
 • White balance
 • Active D-Lighting
 • HDR (High dynamic range mode)
 • + NEF (RAW)
 • AF-area mode
 • Live View
 • AE-AF lock
 • AE lock only
 • AE lock (Hold)
 • AF lock only
 • AF-ON



For Eu: €920/UK: £820 I think this is worth.
