The other tell-tale difference between the D5200 and its predecessor when viewed from the top is the presence of two small grilles located forward of the hotshoe and behind the pop-up flash unit. The other thing it lacks by comparison with the EOS T4i / 650D is a depth of field preview button. I’ll talk about that in more detail in the handling section a bit later.

Compared with the Canon EOS T4i / 650D the D5200 feels under-equipped with options for direct access to settings like image quality, white balance and ISO sensitivity, though the redesigned menu system has resulted in some improvement. Press it and the release mode menu provides access to continuous shooting, self-timer and remote functions. There’s no change to the triumvirate of buttons – movie, exposure compensation and info – immediately behind the shutter release and the new button neatly occupies the space immediately behind them. The control layout of the D5200 is almost identical to that of its predecessor, with only one significant exception and that’s the addition of a drive mode button, or as Nikon calls it, release mode button, to the right side of the top panel.

Of course for a smaller, lighter and cheaper package, not to mention a fairer comparison, you could alternatively buy the T4i / 650D with the EF-S 18-55mm kit lens, but as a non-STM model it lacks the quick and quiet movie AF of the EF-S 18-135mm STM and 40mm STM models. This is, of course, a personal view and as always it’s a good idea to get some hands on time with both models before committing yourself to a purchase.Īdd the respective kit lenses and the size and weight difference is further exaggerated.

It has a more ergonomic design, particularly at the rear where there’s a much larger thumb space providing a better grip. The Canon EOS Rebel T4i / 650D measures 133x100x79mm and weighs 575g including the battery and a card though it’s a little heavier and marginally larger I actually preferred the feel of the EOS body in my hand. That’s no more than a millimetre difference in any dimension than the D5100 and only 5g heavier. For the record, the dimensions are 129x98x78mm and it weighs 555g without the lens attached but with the battery and an SD card fitted. The D5200 is available in black, red or brown and though I’m not a fan of the glossy plastic finish it looks stylish if not particularly durable.įor a DSLR, the D5200 is relatively compact. In fact there are some minor differences to the D5200 body styling, which looks a little more sculpted. The D5200 bears more than a passing resemblance to the D5100 it replaces and from a casual glance you’d be forgiven for assuming they were identical. Read on to discover which of these two advanced entry level models provides the balance of handling, features and value for money. But the Canon EOS Rebel T4i / 650D is similarly priced and offers a comparable level of features and handling with some notable differences that go beyond the obvious resolution and AF system.

Nikon describes the D5200 as being for ‘advanced amateurs’ and it’s pretty astonishing what you get in a ‘one up from basic’ DSLR like the D3200.

It also features 1080p movies with a new 50/60fps interlaced mode, built-in stereo mics, 5fps continuous shooting, a two-shot in-camera HDR mode, and additionally supports the optional Wifi and GPS accessories. The D5200 inherits the D7000’s 39-point AF system with nine cross-type sensors, along with the same 2016 pixel RGB metering system with scene detection. The D5200 is equipped with a 24 Megapixel CMOS sensor, not the same Nikon-designed sensor as in the D3200, but a newly designed chip from Toshiba, something we’ve not seen before in a Nikon DSLR. The big changes take place under the hood. Like the D5100 before it, the main screen remains fully-articulated and hinged on the side, sporting the same 3in / 921k panel. It’s positioned between the entry-level D3200 and the mid-range D7100, and goes head-to-head against Canon’s EOS T4i / 650D.Įxternally the D5200 is virtually indistinguishable from its predecessor, with the only control change being a new drive mode button on the top surface. Announced in November 2012, it comes just over a year and a half after its predecessor, the D5100. The Nikon D5200 is the company’s latest ‘upper entry-level’ DSLR, aimed both at beginners and those looking for a step-up from a basic budget model.
