If you are in the market for Nikon digital SLR cameras, then you should know that both the D7000 and the D5200 are great choices. Both gadgets come with their own similarities and differences. Also, the second one is newer as it was released earlier this year and possesses the latest technology.
The D5200 is aimed at "advanced beginners", its resolution sensor is higher, and the articulating LCD display and movie mode are also better. The D7000 model is aimed at the more serious photographers and more expensive. Also, there are many other major differences between the two, and below is a comparison of these most significant differences.
Below is a comprehensive review of the two Nikon Cameras:
Sensor - With the Nikon D5200, you can produce breath-taking and lifelike photos with its 24.1 megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor. On the other hand, the D700 comes with a 16MP DX-format CMOS image sensor capable of capturing detailed images as well. Both have the famous NiKKOR lenses but the first one has the EXPEED 2 image processing engine, while the second has the faster EXPEED 3.
LCD Display - Both cameras are equipped with 920,000-dot high-resolution LCD displays. However, the LCD of the D5200 can flip out and be rotated to all angles; the LCD of the other camera is fixed. For everyday photography, these so-called "articulating" displays are not necessary, but when shooting close-ups, movies or when getting to subjects is tricky, they can prove to be really useful.
Storage - Both Nikon products use SD, SDHC or SDXC memory cards, but the D7000 has 2 memory card slots which are ideal for professional photographers. Also, with this feature, you can save the photos you took on both cards at the same time and have the luxury of using JPEG and RAW differently in the 2 cards.
Viewfinder - The newer of the two has is more impressive as far as this aspect is concerned. It has a pentagonal prism which is specially coated and 100 percent frame coverage. The D5200 on the other hand has an Optical 0.78x with 95 percent frame coverage pentamirror which is really great for its price range.
Continuous Shooting - The newer model is able to shoot continuous 5 frames every second, where as the Nikon D7000 could shoot at 6fps. It is a very tiny difference, but if you are shooting sports events, then the newer cam would be the smarter choice for you.
Final Words
The D5200 was just released, cheaper, and is perfect for entry level, while the other has better features making it ideal for the serious ones. Also, it has been superseded by the D7100 so you might also want to check on that. Choosing for the right one depends on how you intend to use it.
