Over the last year, Nikon has replaced its two bottom DSLRs with the D3200 and D5200 refreshes. The new D7100 is the latest DX format camera bump, replacing the dated D7000 from three years ago. More »

[CES 2013] Back in November 2012, the Nikon D5200 camera was announced, although unfortunately it seemed that the release was for those living in Europe, Asia and Australia. Well the good news is that it looks like the rumors were right and US availability has since been announced at CES 2013. Just in case you might have forgotten, the Nikon D5200 is a 24.1MP camera with a DX-format CMOS sensor. It sports the new EXPEED 3 image processor for faster operations and better color reproduction, high ISO sensitivity, a 39-AF system shared by the Nikon D7000 series. It also features an LCD display which can swivel out, allowing photographers to snap from some pretty interesting perspectives.
Photographers will also be able to attach the WU-1A wireless mobile adapter to the camera, allowing the wireless transfer of photos from the camera to Apple and Android devices. As expected the D5200 will also be able to capture Full HD 1080p movies, and feature an updated new generation GUI design amongst other features. The Nikon D5200 is expected to be made available in the US late January 2013 and will be priced for around $900 which includes a 18-55mm kit lens.

Americans wanting to leap into DSLRs with a Nikon D5200 have had no choice but to sit on pins and needles waiting for a release date. As of CES, we know that they’ll have a more comfortable seat very soon: the company has committed to bringing the advanced amateur camera to the US in late January for $900 with an 18-55mm lens in the box. Some of the D5200’s companion accessories should be available at the same time, including the $95 WR-T10 and $278 WR-10 wireless remotes, the $127 WR-R10 remote transceiver and the $75 WR-A10 wireless remote adapter. The D5200 isn’t the cheapest route into interchangeable lens cameras in the wake of these prices, but it potentially hits a sweet spot for those whose love of photography is just slightly more than a casual fling.

After bouncing around overseas for a couple of months, Nikon’s update to the D5100 DSLR is finally coming to the United States. As with its predecessor, the D5200 is a step-up from Nikon’s ultra-beginner model, which these days is the pretty lackluster D3200. Basically, the D5200 has a number of features that the D3200 is badly missing. More »

Nikon D5200 for the US market might only make an appearance in January 2013
Posted in: Today's Chili
A couple of days ago the Nikon D5200 was officially announced, and while this might be good news for those living in Europe, Asia and Australia, oddly enough there was no mention as to when this newly announced DSLR camera would be making its way stateside. Well according to the folks at Nikon Rumors, it seems that according to their sources, the Nikon D5200 for the US market will not be available at least until January 2013. Their intel has suggested that Nikon will be showing off the camera at CES 2013 which will be taking place from the 8th to the 11th of January in Las Vegas. We guess this is just a few more months that US customers will have to wait, so from now until then, it looks like the waiting game will have to be played. Either way we’ll keep our eyes peeled for more information, but until we hear otherwise, we suggest you not get your hopes up just yet.

Nikon D5200 announced
Posted in: Today's Chili
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]

Nikon reveals D5200 SLR with D7000-taunting specs: 24MP sensor, 39-point AF, wireless port (hands-on)
Posted in: Today's Chili
The trusty D5100 and D7000 have held sway over Nikon’s low-to-mid DSLR range for around 18 months now, but come December and there’ll be a new option driving a wedge right between them. The D5200 will still fulfill the role of a lightweight “advanced beginner” model and physically it’s the spitting image of the D5100, but at the same time it brings some fundamental and distinctly D7000-like photographic improvements to try to excuse its £720 (body-only) recommended retail price. (Update: that equates to around $1,150, but Nikon tells us that there’s no official US pricing or arrival date at this time.)
The D5200 offers a 39-point AF system for smarter focusing and tracking of moving subjects (compared to the 11-point module on the D5100), a 2,016-pixel RGB metering sensor (whereas the D5100 judged exposure based on just 420 pixels), and a new Expeed 3 processor that permits up to five shots per second (versus the older camera’s 4 fps). There’s also a brand new main image sensor: a DX-format chip that is the same size as the D5100’s and yet somehow squeezes in 8 million more pixels, bringing the effective resolution to 24.1 megapixels. Need more convincing? The camera also has a slightly simpler-looking UI, a stereo internal mic, more choice of h.264 frame rates up to 60 frames per second (in 1080i), and compatibility with Nikon’s admittedly flaky WU-1a wireless adapter. Check out our hands-on video after the break plus a review roundup in the next few weeks, and then, if you’re still not appeased, don’t sweat it: the D5100 and D7000 will continue to be sold for the forseeable, and both with ever-increasing discounts.

A couple of days ago, we reported that the Nikon D5200 could be announced soon, and thanks to the folks at Nikon Rumors, it looks like the announcement could be taking place on the 6th of November. This is not official, but it seems that there will be a expo held in Paris for photography dubbed the Salon de la Photo, where it seems that it is very likely that Nikon could be unveiling the D5200 there. This is apparently based on previous experience where Nikon, along with other major camera manufacturers, like to unveil new products at events, like the one mentioned above, or during CES, CP+, Photokina and etc. Either way we guess we have a little less than a week to go before we find out if this is indeed the case, so if the rumored Nikon D5200 is a camera you could be interested in, check back with us then for the details.
