Nikon Australia has announced a new enthusiast’s DSLR, the 24-megapixel Nikon D5200.
The third camera in its series following the D5000 and the D5100, the Nikon D5200 offers a step up in image-quality, with a 24.1-megapixel APS-C (DX) CMOS sensor and high ISO sensitivity (100-6400, extendable to 25,600).
The Nikon D5200 shares an AF system, metering sensor and scene recognition with the Nikon D7000 series. The 39-point AF system and nine cross-type sensors deliver sharp images and precise focussing. The 2016-pixel RGB metering sensor provides precise data to the camera’s Scene Recognition System, which optimises exposure, autofocus and white balance immediately before the shutter is released.
The Nikon D5200’s versatile 7.5cm (3-inch) vari-angle LCD monitor provides freedom and flexibility to take shots and movies from virtually any position.
Wirelessly transmitting images from your camera to an Apple or Android smart device is possible by using the optional WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter. It is even possible to control your camera remotely from your smart device.
In addition to 16 Scene modes, there is a range of seven special effects: Selective Colour, Miniature, High and Low Key, Silhouette, Colour Sketch and Night Vision, which can be applied in real time to images and movies through Live View so you can see what your final creation will look like before you shoot it.
In addition, in-camera High Dynamic Range (HDR) and D-lighting capture detailed images of high-contrast scenes, increasing creative possibilities.
