24-megapixel APS-C sensorThe D5200 most certainly uses the same 24Mpix APS-C CMOS sensor as the D3200 (thus a change from the D5100 which it replaces), placing it right in the middle of entry-level and advanced DSLRs.This new DSLR can shoot in Full HD up to 50i/60i (no progressive scan at 50p) and retains the ergonomic appeal of its predecessor – a 3-inch, 921,000-point articulated screen – and offers some new artistic filters.The Nikon D5200, heir of the D5100, moves into high gear by incorporating the autofocus and exposure measurement of the D7000. A new camera of reference.Enhanced
