Nikon Coolpix 5200 Digital Camera

Nikon Coolpix 5200

One of the most popular brands in the world of photography should be Nikon. People all around the word have known Nikon for its outstanding high-end cameras and optics. Nikon also offers a wide range of entry-level digital cameras for the beginners, for example the Nikon Coolpix 5200.

From a feature point of view, the Coolpix 5200 is most similar to the Coolpix 3200, with all automatic controls and an extremely small form factor. However, the 5200 has higher resolution than the 3200 (5.1 instead of 4.0 megapixels). The 5.1-megapixel CCD delivers image resolutions as high as 2,592 x 1,944 pixels. Also the Coolpix 5200 features a thinner body and more stylized participate than the Coolpix 3200.

The Nikon Coolpix 5200 has a 3x optical zoom lens (equivalent to a 38-114mm lens on a 35mm camera). An optical viewfinder and a 1.5 inch LCD monitor are available for composing your shot.

One thing that I really like about the Nikon Coolpix 5200 camera is that it retains the 3200’s Framing Assist modes. These modes overlay framing guides in the shape of people or buildings on the LCD screen, making it easy to frame your subjects to best align with the camera’s exposure and focusing systems.

Another thing is the Red-Eye Fix automatic red-eye correction. This exclusive in-camera redeye-fix analyzes image data and corrects typical instances of redeye in smaller amount than 3 seconds. It’s activated when the camera is set to redeye-reduction glare mode, where the typical preflash first minimizes the redeye cause.

Key features:

- 5.1 megapixel CCD sensor

- 3x optical zoom

- 1.5-inch LCD

- Optical viewfinder

- Built-in flash

- Red-eye reduction

- White balance

- Movie mode (with sound)

Should you buy the Nikon Coolpix 5200 I recommend buying a high capacity memory card to store lots of images and videos. In addition, the Coolpix 5200 uses lithium ion rechargeable battery for power.
