i bought this camera about 3 months ago and even though im already looking at upgrading i do not regret buying it at all because it let me figure out exactly what type of photography im into and what better bodies and lenses i should invest in and also gives more creative control than something like a phone or a point and shoot
@@blackflagphotography5465 i was looking at the sony mirrorless line-up for the portability and better high iso performance but i dont use it nearly as much anymore so id rather put my money into other hobbies now and just use the d5200 when i want better then phone quality
What would u pay for a used one in good condition you think? And also would this be a good camera for shooting snowboard pics in the mountains?? Thanks
Literally just sold mine last week only reason was because I never used it . I’ve been rocking my Z6 for the last 3 years. But when I booked gigs and needed an assistant it came in clutch especially with a prime Lens
I purchased my first Nikon D5200 in 2014. and a used one in 2017. I use a two-camera setup for shooting my short films. I'm a huge fan of Nikon and have very very VERY few complaints. Shooting video is all bout finding solutions to different problems. The D5200 (and its sisters D5300, D5400, D5500) all allow the technical flexibility to get your shots just the way you saw them in your head.
I still have few cameras which is the Nikon d3200 - given away, the Nikon d5200, and the d700. The Nikon d5200 is my secondary dslr camera till today! I still use it for astronomy.
New subscriber here thank you 🙏 for teaches us! I just got. Nikon p900! And am soo excited!!! My next upgrade will be the p1000 but I am looking at the D2500 for the older teens.. 17 &15… they want 4k video and normal range pictures of nature and animals…. And the night sky…
I want to start diving into photography and I cannot really decide between the Nikon D5200 and the Canon Eos 2000D, does anyone have a recommendation for me?
The Canon equivalent of D5200 is the Rebel T5i. The Nikon has 39 focus points the Canon only has 9. I've got a T5i but also an older Nikon. Extra lenses extra for Canon are cheaper than Nikon but the cameras are very close for everything else apart from focus points. So if you buy a kit second hand then either would do as a beginner set up.
I've had a Nikon D3100, D5500, and a D610. I plan on purchasing this for fun to have another happy medium. Very good camera! Totally recommend it! And I plan on letting my kids play around with it too! The next I'd like to get is a Z50.
I am using a kit lens but in videos i am getting digital noise in the darker areas. I also use a flash but in the darker areas the noise remains same..... What should i do .....plz help .....
Will Nikon D5200 support Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G Lens ED .. I have gone through many reviews, but still confused .. could you clarify on my question
Bro I use my d5200 Nikon camera for vlogging but when I am vlogging the focus of the camera is very poor I think so the camera settings are not proper plz tell me the best settings for the best focus
I'm French and I have not understood everything about the video, I'm looking for a first camera (especially for photography) that is not too expensive but with which I can progress, do you recommend this one ? If not, which one ?
Is it still good to get this year? I need a good camera with a flip screen for dancing. But budget is limited so looking to get a secondhand, older camera.
Yes! I would not use it for paid gigs for there are better cameras out now with those on a budget. But getting this camera for what you want is still good for starters then work your way up! 😁
sultan ansari I'd recommend buying used I shot with the a6300 for a while and it was a FANTASTIC camera for the price, not to expensive if you buy used too, if you want something newer go for the a6400 it has better color science and slightly better AF, keep in mind they are both crop sensor cameras with one card slot if that's an issue for you, you can also often find pretty cheap a7ii's on eBay. If you decide on the crop sensor I recommend sigmas c line of primes the 16, 30 and 56 1.4's, best lenses I've used in a long time. I shoot Fuji now which is also a good option to look into if your interested.
Yea you right and I forgot to mention that if you check out my past videos on my channel 90% has been shot on this camera! 🙌. Its my main camera for youtube!
Thank you so much for subscribing! 😁 As for real estate, it will be good for the beginning but not sure what to suggest for the fish eye lens. However, I would research it first here on RUclips for I mainly shoot weddings which we don't use fish eye lens for.
Question... I have a Nikon D300 I got as a gift that gathered dust for a few years, and I am wondering if it still stacks up or is even worth using over something like a D7100 or a D5500? I'd love to know your thoughts.
Well, first what are you trying to peruse in photography. If it's business I would pick the 7100, if it's a hobby and you just want quality tourist photos all of them qualify. For business, I recommend the Nikon Z 5 if you can spend $1,000. Let me know if this helps! 😁
@@timothymilton2377 Thank you for responding! Okay, so here is some context. My father was a professional photojournalist and Navy photographer for his entire life. When I was younger I apprenticed under him and actually was fairly technically skilled with my Nikon f3 and using his either Hasselblad or Yashika medium format for weddings. Granted this was in the mid 90's. Then I joined the Marines and my camera got put away seemingly forever. Before my dad passed, he gave me this old D300 to get back into it (5 or 6 years ago). I never did much with it because it seemed daunting trying to relearn on an entirely new format. I regret not getting into it more while he was still alive, but, well, I guess I want to now. My main purpose is that I am a watchmaker, and taking art photos of watches is a passion of mine, and I have certainly reached the limit of what a phone can do. In my possession are 2 very old cameras, the D300 and an old Olympus ep-1. Based on what you're saying, I think the 7100 would be the play and possibly a Olympus pen ep-5 as a backup/road camera. I just think the old D300 is going to teach me on a system that's as antiquated as my old F body.
Hey, I have a question - when you switch to the LIVE feed mode that shows you the image on the screen.. I wanted to use that to make a video... When it's set to AUTO on the lens behind the main buttons with two options Auto and Manual.. Whets its set on Auto every 5 seconds there's a sound of something coming from the inside, like its running some sensors or something or moving something inside.. its never heard on the normal mode, without the live preview.. and its gone when you switch that button to manual. so to record a video you need to switch to manual to not hear it every 5 seconds
I have had this camera for a few years and am looking to upgrade. I’m thinking Nikon or Sony and perhaps mirrorless. My budget is around $1500 for a body. What would you recommend.
What type of photography you do and is a hobby or career? For Nikon I recommend the D750: amzn.to/3jUfMK3. As for Sony I like the a7iii but its pricey but worth it.
@@alexmiller6631 if you already have nice nikon lenses i'd probably stay with nikon cos sony lenses will be even more expensive, that being said if you have only DX lenses and want to go fullframe you'll need to buy lenses anyway but nikon will still have cheaper options
Hey, thanks for putting this together, i was looking at picking one up second hand, I appreciate the effort and you said it was your first time doing something like this which is cool, I would say however that it wasn't 100% useful, I expected it to compare to 2020 models and show me what I am missing, this was just here, its a camera, its old, its ok for shooting weddings as a support camera for reasons. Keep the effort and improvement up!
Hi there! Your welcome and yea I agree I could have done better by comparing it to a few models. Def will keep this in mind on future content coming soon! 😁
Great vid, a friend of mine received as unwanted gift. Wants to sell to me, after this vid I might just go get it off his hands always wanted a camera from younger days.
Brian I have had this camera for years. I have taken shots of the milky way using the 18 to 55 mmeter stock lens that comes with it and a Toshiba sensor does just fine. I have also taken incredible lightning shots. I believe this model came out in 2012, and for the money the performance is still very good. Just remember it's a crop sensor camera so if you don't buy the DX lenses Remember to multiply the focal length here using by 1.5. This means if your using a full frame lens you get a 1.5 times magnification. I would grab it!
@@timothymilton2377 Sorry for being rude. I just hate when going through another entire review video and there isn't even a single photo taken with the camera. It's like watching a car/bike/shoe review with the person not even giving it a ride, but only giving visual commentary. On the other hand I love reviews with tons of photos in it, where not only you see the reviewer not being lazy and spending time testing the camera, but most importantly the viewer can see what the tool is actually capable of. Different shooting environments (some model work, some landscape, taking it out to the street, an event or two), showing off and taking advantage of some unique helpful features, exploring the menus, durability etc. A solid camera review can take months of putting the gear through their paces.
Camera stinks in low light and its autofocus system is garbage! With that being said it's a great beginner camera. Throw a 50 on it and have fun. 7/10 well lit photography 4/10 video 3/10 low light
