Nikon D5200 announced

Nikon has just announced their spanking new DSLR – the Nikon D5200 that will sit nicely in the niche market where one is a beginner at photography, although you have already picked up your fair share of skills and knowledge in lighting and image composition, and want a DSLR to be on par with your existing skill level. At first glance, you might think that this is the D5100, but upon closer inspection, there are photographic improvements made to the D5200 that makes you feel as though you are using a D7000. The thing is, the Nikon D5200 is not going to come cheap, retailing for £720 (body only) a pop.

Other specifications of the Nikon D5200 include a 39-point AF system that delivers smarter focusing and tracking of moving subjects, a 2,016-pixel RGB metering sensor, the spanking new Expeed 3 processor which lets you shoot up to 5 images each second, and the totally new DX-format chip image sensor that remains similar in size to the one found in the D5100, and yet magically squeezes in 24.1 megapixels. Oh yeah, Nikon decided to introduce a new graphical user interface (GUI) for intuitive operation as well. Anyone interested in the new Nikon D5200? [Press Release]
