I used it with 18-105 Nikor and 35-Koy 1.8 Nikor. The difference in optics is heaven and earth. 35 ka is sharper, color rendition is deeper. The camera is clearly progressive. Video 50 and stereo sound, but I use an ME-1 Nikon microphone. Excellent matrix. In the hands of a person who knows his job, an excellent tool for creating creative material. I advise everyone!!! The camera is SUPER!!! Technical characteristics are the most important plus of any new model. The 5200, like the 5100, thrives on color reproduction with fast optics. Having bought 5200, you need to spend money on good optics. I have a 35 1.8 nikor. The only drawback is that it is expensive compared to 5100. ![]() |

First of all, the camera's capabilities far exceed the kit lens significantly. To understand this, you need to buy a proper lens. I purchased a 50mm 1.4 Nikon and felt the difference. The Soviet "Mir" and "Kaleinar" are also good, but they only work in manual mode. The video quality is excellent, you can trim the edges of the clip directly in the camera where there's jitter from pressing the inconvenient video recording button. The sound is stereo, with an adjustable microphone sensitivity; on all autofocus lenses, there are quiet USM motors, including on the kit. By the way, the kit lens is not bad for video. Convenient both for "on-the-go" shooting thanks to a large number of scene modes, and for calm, thorough creative shooting (great potential for diverse exposure work, etc.). Menu with an explanation function in the form of a "?". Compatible with Soviet optics with bayonet n. The video recording button is inconveniently located. The video recording function is not displayed on the multifunction button. ![]() |

I'm kind of an amateur who sometimes takes photos, sometimes in auto mode, sometimes I try to set something up myself, the camera is perfect for me, the next model D7000 and the newer D7100, but that's a whole different price range. As for the pricing policy, the quality and price match one another, in terms of plastic and body everything is assembled reliably and without any defects, but I still recommend buying cases, otherwise, over time everything will get worn out. high sensitivity ISO at 6400 is awesome, they've installed autofocus from a more advanced model with 39 focus points, a practical swivel display, which, to be honest, gets smudged quickly... but it's very convenient if you're shooting at a height or at an angle. The DSLR is easy to handle, you can figure it out a little on your own without any instructions and helpers. There are loads of preset scene modes for photos, suitable for those who want a DSLR but don't know how to shoot and have always clicked on auto))) High shooting speed of 3 fps, perfect for photos you want to take quickly or on the fly. As for convenience, the camera is quite light and carrying it around your neck is no problem at all, unless you buy a couple of heavy lenses. Regarding the video quality, it's not super but more than decent, 25 fps is average... i don't know about others, but I have big hands, and I have the same problem as with mobile phones; the camera is too small and not always convenient to handle. As for the modes, in LV mode, it focuses very slowly and somewhat awkwardly; if you always take photos with the screen on, the battery drains very quickly, plus video recording also severely depletes the battery. There is no commander flash mode. ![]() |

They gave me this "body" at work for photographing products. I had to choose the lens myself and settled on the simple Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S VR DX. Of course, it wasn't just limited to products - the photos were also used for advertising printing and the camera regularly attended corporate events too. Thanks to the 24-megapixel sensor, the pictures come out with high detail and accurate colors. The resolution of 6000 x 4000 is sufficient for any task. We printed a full-color poster for ourselves in A1 format - it turned out excellent. The exposure metering works great; I can't recall any significant errors. The white balance is also always good, with only minor misjudgments on brightly colored lighting. The autofocus is fast and performs well in static situations, and there are usually no problems even with moderately dynamic subjects. By the way, the "3D-tracking" mode, also known as 3D continuous autofocus, is very useful when shooting dynamics. The low-noise sensor allows for comfortable shooting even at high sensitivity settings. At moderately high ISO, the noise is monochrome (similar to film grain) and does not ruin the photos. The camera body is small and surprisingly light. In my memory, this is one of the smallest and lightest SLR cameras. It feels comfortable in the hands. The three-inch swivel display is extremely helpful. It's large, bright, and has a high resolution. Working with it is exceptionally pleasant. FullHD video at 50 fps cannot be recorded in progressive scan, only interlaced is available. Deinterlacing has to be done later, with all the ensuing consequences. The battery does not boast high performance. But it pulls through about 500 shots. |

If not for the obviously amateur control, there would be a higher-class camera. Regarding the shooting of the video - I read what they write here, it's time to remove this function from the cameras, there are video cameras for this, they are designed for photos. There is everything you need for both a beginner and a professional, the photo quality is excellent, autofocus is smart, it doesn’t miss, a lot of scene programs (for those who don’t understand settings), a convenient menu that imitates film cameras (shutter speed wheel, aperture), rotary screen, HDR mode. I didn’t find where to see the parameters of the captured photo in the camera (maybe it’s hidden somewhere), there is no screwdriver, just one main button to change all the parameters, you can get used to it, of course, although it’s inconvenient, apparently because of the rotary screen there is nowhere to put additional buttons. use Nikon D5200 body month or more i recommend it should buy |

in everyday life, such a device can be handy for taking pictures at parties. However, for more serious tasks like reproducing paintings, taking sharp portraits, or capturing detailed landscapes, this model is unlikely to succeed. In my experience, even the Smena 8 "M" camera was sharper, let alone the Zenit. In a camera, the most important functions are sharpness and true color reproduction. This particular model cannot boast of these. beautiful, rotating screen, many functions not happy with sharpness, the color is too bright, have to photoshop it, when zooming the image loses sharpness at 6.7, 24 pixels, but only half are usable. the purchased additional 1.4 G lens did not add sharpness ![]() |

i'm disappointed in purchasing this camera. Less than a month later it started producing glitches. The shutter began to jam, the screen went blank when shooting video, it doesn’t work well in the dark, and overall the impression was blurry. at the beginning of the work it seemed ideal after the Nikon D 3000. The price is too high. I will switch to another one. at the beginning I liked everything about the perfect picture when shooting portraits. didn't even need another lens i'm disappointed in purchasing this camera.

Great camera for beginners. Ergonomics, ease of use. The pictures at 18-105 come out really good! Weak battery. We need to take the second one. ![]() |
