Nikon D5200 Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens Kit - Black (24.1MP) 3 inch LCD (discontinued by manufacturer)

Product Information

The default settings are great: the D5200 figures out what sensors and how to use them, and just focuses. The “best” lens depends on your photography style and needs. A versatile lens like the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is often recommended for the Nikon D5200. However, the best lens can vary based on the type of photography – for example, the Nikon 35mm f/1.8G could be the best for portraits, while the AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED could be ideal for wildlife or sports photography. Can I use FX lenses on a Nikon D5200? pixel RGB metering sensor delivers highly accurate metering for exact exposures and provides precise data to the camera's Scene Recognition System The D5100's 16.2 megapixel CMOS sensor has been superseded by a 24.1 megapixel CMOS chip, capable of providing a Live View feed, recording Full HD video and capturing full-resolution stills at a slightly faster 5 frames per second.

GPS compatible: Records the exact location of the camera when a picture is taken by using the optional GP-1 unit Lights when built-in flash or optional flash unit is fully charged; flashes after flash is fired at full output There’s the same 3in, 921,000-dot articulated screen as on the outgoing Nikon D5100, which is a great asset for video and shooting stills in live view mode. Continuous performance is roughly the same as the newer D3300, delivering 4.9fps for 32 frames before slowing to a still-excellent 4.2fps in our tests. This was only possible when lens distortion correction was disabled, though – otherwise, it lasted for just six frames before slowing to 1.9fps. Raw continuous performance was similarly short-lived, slowing to 1.6fps after just four frames. The D3300 slows to 1.7fps but after six frames, so it’s a touch faster here. Prime lenses are helpful for many photographic situations, as they can be used for more than just shooting portraits, even tho that is their primary purpose.Matrix metering: 3D color matrix metering II (type G and D lenses); color matrix metering II (other CPU lenses) Center-weighted metering: Weight of 75% given to 8-mm circle in center of frame Spot metering: Meters 3.5-mm circle (about 2.5% of frame) centered on selected focus point Effects mode – seven effects including Selective Colour and Miniature, which can be applied in pre-shoot, for more creative movies and stills The images were a little soft straight out of the D5200 at the default sharpening setting and ideally require some further sharpening in an application like Adobe Photoshop, or you can change the in-camera setting for JPEG files. The night photograph was excellent, with the maximum shutter speed of 30 seconds and bulb mode allowing you to capture plenty of light. Red-eye was not a common occurrence with the built-in flash, and when we did encounter it, it was very moderate and easily cured by setting the flash to red-eye reduction mode.

One of the attributes that kind of surprised me was sharpness. I did expect this lens to capture sharp-looking photos when combined with the Nikon D5200 camera, but once I started testing and comparing pictures on my 4K LG screen, I noticed just how sharp this lens is. x 1080, 60i (59.94 fields/s)/ 50i (50 fields/s), high/normal 1920 x 1080, 30 p (progressive)/25p/24p, high/normal

Specifications

Sure, the focal length is not the best, as it only goes from 10 to 24mm, but if your main focus is on image quality, you will want to get this wide-angle lens for your Nikon D5200 camera.
