Great Imrovement Nice Small Size

I had the Nikon 4300 which took some awesome shots. Then I upgraded to this 5200 and I love it alot. This little camera can really give you some descent shots, even in pitch dark area. I did 10 hours of research on digital cameras online and the quality of the Sony, Canon, and Casio couldn't come close to this camera with thiers within the same class. Nikon is the only manufacturere that I know that makes small compact cameras that still gives you control of your apeture (light coming in the lens) setting. The other cameras are full automatic. I use the manual apeture setting for almost all my shots. Let's talk about the video and now they have audio. Life is sweet I tell you. The video/audio quality is just amazing for this size camera. I was impressd the audio didn't come out choppy and when I used a compression (encoder) sofware to shrink the size of the file on my PC I couldn't ask for more. This is truly amazing quality, even in doors in a semi-lighted area. I bougth one and one for my cousin and now my brother and friend is getting one. That's four in the family.
