“The answer to that question has to do something, but not much. One simple consideration is the image quality of the camera,” says Tomer Yildiz, an associate dean at Indiana University’s School of Cinematic Arts. “It all depends on the type of film and film stock used, as well as the lens used — for example, how fast the lens is and how much light that comes in. This is just an average, in-between factor, not the most important factor when deciding which camera to buy or use.”
The first camera to get big-screen love, the Nikon D5200, was the last Nikon DSLR to receive full-frame coverage. But over the past seven years, as Sony and Panasonic’s digital systems have gained ground and DSLRs have become more versatile, Canon’s top-of-the-line XS1 has become the favorite, outspending rival Nikon on almost every dimension — and even out-performing their flagship DSLR.
According to Yildiz, the D5200 camera has earned the top spot for video capture in recent years because of the high-quality, durable body, the compact frame for mobile use, sharp-but-easy-to-use video features such as a 16.1-megapixel sensor, and high-definition video that shoots at an astonishing 20 megapixels.
When will I be using it, anyway?
“For mobile use, where a smartphone is often the focus, the XS1 will still likely hold more appeal than other DSLRs,” Yildiz says. “But with 4K, 5K and more, Canon will see a more balanced market segment for their cameras, and thus their lenses — something that is often a factor in sales decisions.” “For the price-sensitive professional DSLR user, there’s a good chance it will likely be a camera with a Canon F5 or similar lens rather than the more expensive Nikon D5 — for example, if you have a Nikon D800, you might want to give the D5200 a quick look,” he adds.
Can I get a D5200 with a $500-plus camera upgrade?
Yes, but you’d have to pay an extra $500, thanks to the $1500 “DIGIC 6” upgrade. The D5200 is now $3500, including the upgraded lens. You’ll have to pay for any upgrades in two ways: the $3500 in-house upgrade
