I get a camera that can take good pictures, no doubt, but with whom I initially had control problems. She's very different to the D90! After about 4000 shots but I have closed my peace with the operating concept, you can handle well with this part. My other experience in bullet points:
Height, weight: Compared to the D90 was my thing at first too small - now I appreciate it: The camera bag is also smaller and lighter.
Image quality: better than the D90 from the state (in Full Auto) - and consequently much OK. Whoever wants to exhaust the full 24MP potential, should be as aware of pictures and know what he / she is doing.
Battery Performance: After all these also to be heard here Mäkeleien for me surprisingly well. In manual mode (only AF) I have made 625 photos within 90 minutes without the battery indicator would have lost even a bar! With various automatic functions, this does indeed look different. However, the batteries have a very good Erhohlungsvermögen. After two hours, it may be worth quite a leergeknipsten insert battery again. In Live View mode (associated with video), the battery also suggests quite well - but this should already have a spare battery to be there. I have three (original) battery and come with it usually have a whole day of shooting.
Video: Yes, you can also record video with a DSLR - but this has nothing to do with the handling might already familiar things in normal camcorders. I had quite a grip and change. Simply draufhalten and start filming does not work! A tripod should be. Exposure values and focus should be better regulated manually. Zooming must train new one only. But these are not specific camera problems, which is the principle DSLR. You are rewarded for his trouble with wonderfully clear shots, especially in low light. I am happy!
Microphone: The built-in microcomputer is in my opinion only a temporary solution. The offered by Nikon external Micro I rate as satisfactory. Noise of the lens movements remain audible.
Folding Monitor: I should like to never have to do without again! And I say this, although I do the vast majority of photos through the viewfinder. The folding direction side has proved in the video and panoramic tripod to be very favorable.
Viewfinder: I find not so great, a manual focus through the viewfinder is almost impossible'll probably still set a viewfinder.
Autofocus: Significantly faster and more accurately than with the D90. For video, however, because pumps unsuitable.
Recommendations:
Those who now start with the camera can take soothes the kit lens 18-105. I had to turn the D90 and it also works with the D5200 very well as "Always top".
For processing the RAW files you need a modern computer. Even on new data sets have to be able to react, about 25MB per RAW add up quickly.
