D5200 screen is not fixed
Minor differences- debatable if it’s worthy of a $400 price difference…
Does not seem like it is worth the $400 difference. Would rather have the rotating screen of 5200 for video.
i will go with Nikon D5200..
Nikon D7100 is very expensive i will go to in Nikon D5200
i have D5200, DXO mark has higher rating for it. But only things that am missing is that it doesnt have a autofocus, Magnesium body, and its not Weather Sealed
I’ve bought a D5200, I’m a newbie and I hope to learn a lot with this camera
