What are the essential differences between the D5200 and D3200? Anything actually affecting image quality?

Nikon D5200 can take up to 5 farms/sec, better video and faster process. If you can effort the D5200 go for it, you'll not be disappoint.

It has been sometime since I made the side-by-side review of the two models. Suggest that you view web site: dpreview.com to compare. Except for more mpixels, the real difference will be the choice of the highest quality lens to meet your intended use.

No, this version of the lens (AF-D) will not autofocus on the D5200. You will have to purchase the AF-S version in order to have autofocus.

Nikon says it will work fine with the D5200. The D5200 is a crop frame sensor so the lens will be a 100mm to 600mm.

Nikon D5100 16.2MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens is my pick over either d3200 or d3100, more features and the sensor is better. It is priced between the the 3100 and 3200 also. I think the D3200 overall is an improvement over the d3100. D3200 has entry level features like the d3100, but the sensor is has more megapixel so you get more detail, but at the same time might get more noise in darker situation. I heard the d3200 has improve video.

Hello Willy, work is an interesting word. I believe the flash would mount with the 5200d now will all the functions work properly I don't know There are pins on the top of each camera and the flash has to line up properly for the flash to work. I suggest you contact Sunpak and ask them since this flash is now several years old and Camera makers keep updating the models. Here is a site that you may want to visit to take a longer look at the D5200. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikon-d5200/2

HiAS far as I know there can be compatibility issues when using that lens with a entry -mid level range body. I myself use the d300s and work perfectly with it. The best bet is to go and try it first (if you can). Great lens tho. If i can give you advice, try to sell off the 5200 and maybe get something like the d300/d7000 or if you can a d700 or d800. Hope this helps

Yes, the D3200 will Save in RAW (12 Bit), and also in RAW + JPG simultaneously if wanted. Settings are remembered when the camera is turned off. Image Quality Settings are easy to access via the Info Screen (without having to navigate any menus) and/or you can assign the "FN" Button (programmable) to quickly switch between RAW, RAW+JPG, and the various JPG Quality Modes.

Hi, this is exactly the camera I'm using it on. I have both the D5200 and the D5300. It has worked really well so far. I bought it in February 2014

Not sure about the D5200. I have a D7000 and it has a built in focus for that lens. Go on borrowlens.com and it should tell you if it's compatible or not. I rented the lens first to see how it was, then purchased it since I loved. It's my favorite lens.

Yes, should do. Mind you, I do believe the small sensor and small opening will mean you have quite limited movement of the D5200 relative to the front standard. Only matters if you're going to stitch or do a lot of tilting/shifting. I've used it with the D800E and it's great, although it's a hassle.

Allan, yes it will work perfectly with the D5200. It is an very good lens that has sharp, fast focus throughout the f-stop range. I just came back from two weeks in Africa and it was almost the only lens I used day and night because it is so fast (f/2.8). Very rugged pro lens construction that has successfully made three Africa trips, Nepal, Morocco and the Sahara, Patagonia and Cape Horn all without any issues including internal dust from the zoom mechanism. The only negative is the weight. For me, it is worth it for the confidence that I will get the shots. Hope that helps.

Works fine as I have a D3200. Set the timer on the camera. You'll see a couple of options. Pick the remote control one. Its nice because you can take as long as you want to set up the picture and you can take more than one shot before going back to the camera. Just press the remote button, but remember, you can be too far away.

The D4 is a very good camera. The D4s is slightly better at high ISOs. Its seem to track focus on moving subjects a bit faster. Go to DXO website and they do a great comparison on cameras and you can compare the two cameras. The picture quality is the same I think over all again with some improvement at high ISOs. I do not know what you shoot or how you photograph so it is very hard to give advice on upgrading. If I had to do it again, I think I would stay with the D4 and which I still use right along with the D4s and wait for the next big change in camera bodies.

I also have the D5300 and I believe it's a bit smaller than the D3200.. I'm hesitant to purchase.

My first DSLR was a D3000. It actually was the perfect starter. I find the D7100 to be a little more intricate in its functions. If I were you, I would start with the 5200/5300, it will get your feet wet without overwelming you.

If you're willing to put in several hours learning about it. The extra controls are nice, but not essential, and they are pretty much the same internals. If you want to do more video, the 60p on the D5300 will be nice I'm sure and that extra money saved on the 5200/5300 can be put towards nicer optics. D7000 is pretty good too, I've you're not too hung up about having many video features.

The difference for me was the group focus feature, it seemed to lock in focus quicker and track subjects better. Low light is just awesome I have always hesitated cranking up the ISO too high because of the noise potential. It is simply amazing how you can take clean shots in low light situations like bars, parties, sports arenas. If most of your shooting involve low light venues you will see a difference. Wether this is enough to drive an upgrade is up to you. Regarding general picture quality I can't say there is a significant difference other than low light situation I mentioned. I own a d800 as well and use it when picture quality is absolutely critical. These are the 2 cameras in my bag and handles every situation I am faced with. If pic quality is what you seek you can grab a used d800 for under 2k. You will not be disappointed. Just my opinion.
