If you are still unsure whether to buy the D5200 or the D7000, this review article will help you decide. The firs camera is actually one of the newest from Nikon and it was launched last January 2013 which means that it bears the most advanced technology by far. But the second one should not be discounted.
The D5200 is aimed at "advanced beginners", its resolution sensor is higher, and the articulating LCD display and movie mode are also better. The D7000 model is aimed at the more serious photographers and more expensive. Also, there are many other major differences between the two, and below is a comparison of these most significant differences.
Below is a comprehensive review of the two Nikon Cameras:
Sensor - In comparison to the 16-megapixel sensor in the Nikon D7000, the Nikon D5200 is equipped with a newer 24-megapixel sensor. This difference may sound like it is really big, but 16 megapixels itself is a high resolution, and the D7000 has a very good sensor. A significant difference in pictures will be seen, but looking for it will become necessary.
Screen - Both cameras have 3-inch high resolution displays but the first one has an articulated monitor. You can flip and turn it for those odd angles. The second camera may have a fixed screen but it has a 170-degree ultra-wide viewing angle, and coupled with a tough screen glass, it is perfect for the outdoors.
Design - The D5200 may not be weatherproof but it can still withstand a little moist and a few droplets. It has an entry to mid-level design, durable, and overall, a great quality. The other Nikon has a lot of professional-style features and this includes its magnesium alloy body construction. It is more durable with its weather and moisture sealing.
Viewfinder - The D7000 may be the winner in this department because it has a higher quality and an incredible 100 percent frame coverage which means that what you will see is what you are going to capture. But the D5200's pentamirror with 95 percent frame coverage is still great for its price.
Continuous Shooting - The newer model is able to shoot continuous 5 frames every second, where as the Nikon D7000 could shoot at 6fps. It is a very tiny difference, but if you are shooting sports events, then the newer cam would be the smarter choice for you.
Final Words
The bottom line is that both DSLR cameras have their pros over the other. Although, the D5200 model came after the D7000, it is still more recommendable for beginners, while the D7000 is ideal for those who are more experienced and have an avid interest in photography. Thus, ultimately both are great and it will all depend on the user.
