Product Description
MD) CL) NIKON COOLPIX 5200 DIG CAM
Amazon.com Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description Introducing the first digital camera to remove redeye in the camera--the Nikon Coolpix 5200. This metal-bodied compact digital camera features a thinner body and more stylized feature than its predecessors (the Coolpix 2200 and 3200). It offers a resolution of 5 megapixels, a 3x optical zoom, and image storage in the 12 MB built-in memory or Secure Digital memory cards. Optics and Resolution
 The 5.0-megapixel CCD lets you capture spectacular images at resolutions up to 2,592 x 1,944 (a 15 MB file) and print enlargements at sizes up to 16 x 20 inches. It also features 2,048 x 1,536 (3 MP), 1,600 x 1,200 (2 MP), 1,280 x 9,600 (1 MP), 1,024 x 768 (PC), and 640 x 480 (TV) resolution modes. The retractable 3x Nikkor zoom lens has a focal range of 7.8 to 23.4mm (equivalent to a 38-114mm lens in 35mm format), and features aspherical elements and an ED glass element. The Coolpix 5200 also has a 4x digital zoom. Movie Mode
Capture video with audio at 30 frames per second (fps) at three different settings: 640 x 480, 320 x 240, or 160 x 120 pixels. Movie length is only limited by the amount of storage you have on hand (either in internal memory or on external memory cards).  | | Enjoy in-camera red-eye reduction | More Features
Nikon's exclusive in-camera redeye fix function analyzes image data and corrects typical instances of redeye in less than 3 seconds. It's activated when the camera is set to redeye-reduction flash mode, where the typical preflash first minimizes the redeye effect. The camera then analyzes the picture using powerful image processing and analysis technology, which is completely automatic and transparent.  | | The 5200 features a 3x optical and a 4x digital zoom | You have a choice of automatic, preset, and seven manual white balance modes. Additionally, the Coolpix 5200 divides the shooting area into segments to determine the most appropriate setting for the faithful capture of colors. There's also a white-balance bracketing function, which takes a series of three shots at different white-balance settings with just a single press of the shutter release. Other features include: - 1.5-inch, 110,000-pixel LCD and real-image zoom viewfinder
- Built-in flash with redeye reduction, auto, anytime flash, flash cancel, and slow sync modes
- 15 scene modes, including four with Scene Assist (Portrait, Night Portrait, Landscape, Sports); others include Sunset, Close Up, Museum, Beach/Snow, Fireworks Show, Back Light, Party, Copy, Dusk/Dawn, and Night Landscape
- Best Shot Selector (BSS) takes a series of shots, then automatically picks and records the clearest one
- Macro shooting capability as close as 1.6 inches
Printing
 | | Get as close as 1.6 inches in macro mode | The Coolpix 5200 is PictBridge-compatible, which enables you to transfer pictures from your digital camera to your printer without a PC or image-editing software. All PictBridge devices share three basic features: camera-to-printer connecting, single-image printing, and uniform error messages in case something goes wrong. Storage and Transfer
Images are stored in either the internal 12 MB flash RAM memory (with a capacity of approximately 10 high-resolution images) or on optional Secure Digital (SD) or MultiMedia (MMC) memory cards. Images can be downloaded to either Macs or PCs via USB 1.1, which means the camera can be connected to any USB-based PC running Windows Me/2000/XP or Mac running OS 8.6 or later without your having to install any software. Power and Size
The camera is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery (EN-EL5), which has an approximate battery life of 150 frames. It measures 3.5 by 2.3 by 1.4 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 5.5 ounces without the battery or memory card. What's in the Box
This package contains the Nikon Coolpix 5200 digital camera, a hand strap, USB and A/V cables, a lithium-ion rechargeable battery (EN-EL5), a battery charger (MH-61), a quick-start guide, and an instruction manual. The CD-ROM features PictureProject photo management software, VideoImpression to edit QuickTime video files, and Panorama Maker to stitch together a number of images captured using the Panorama Assist Scene Mode.

 A great camera! September 27, 2004

I got this camera as a birthday gift and I love it! First and foremost, it takes incredible pictures. I've had prints made and they look just as good as the ones from my old 35 millimeter, if not better. The Nikon 5200 is compact and lightweight, but not so small that it's uncomfortable to handle. It's easy to use and has a large LCD screen for you to preview your pictures right away. The zoom is also pretty good, although it took me a little while to figure out how the enhanced digital zoom works.
There are a bunch of different shooting modes that you can choose from, and they're very easy to figure out. I've been very impressed with the battery life, too, and that's a big selling point for me.
All in all, this is a fabulous camera. I suggest shopping around for it online, though, because I was able to find it selling for about $150 under the MSRP (brand new).

While looking for a pocketable and powerful digital camera I tried out the Pentax 555, Optio, Sony T-1, Canon S500...and the Nikon 5200. And the 5200 simply takes the highest honors and my hard-earned cash--$410 from AMPhoto.com!
While each of the cameras I compared and tested are small and pocketable-the Nikon was the easiest to reach in/pull out and "know" which end you have-which is important when catching spur-of-the-moment pictures at parties or other events.
The grip and feel in the hand is great and can easily be operated one-handed-unless you have very small hands.
The display is bright and easy to read-even in regular sunlight. The auto-gain for the display the camera uses while "looking" at a dark area is ingenious and incredibly useful.
Controls/buttons are well-placed and thought-out.
The menu system is great and very intuitive-no guessing/digging for features in menus.
Pictures simply are wonderful. Contrary to other reviews-I have had no issues with color being off for people.
This is a FAST CAMERA. Start-up is under 2 seconds. Without the flash picture-to-picture time is just over a second. With the flash picture-to-picture time is about 2 seconds.
Nobody has talked about about how FAST the zoom is! While looking at the other cameras I thought all zooms were lethargic-but Nikon's zoom is incredibly F-A-S-T!!! I did heavily consider the Pentax 555 but its zoom was so lethargic that I'd miss the action before it zoomed all the way in!
Macro mode is a blast and VERY good. The focus for macro is as close as an inch which allows you to get up close and personal with the object/subject
The movie mode is just incredible! While not camcorder quality, the 640x480 30 fps rate is great and a lot of fun for clips. I don't know why other camera manufacturers put limitations on the amount of video you can take...but Nikon gets it-if you've got the memory the use all you want for whatever you want!
Battery life hasn't been an issue and the fast charger which is INCLUDED lives up to the promise of fully charging a dead battery in 2 hours. I do wish Nikon had included the AC adapter but no matter...it can easily be picked up for $30.
I would recommend BUY AN EXTRA BATTERY! They are small and light-and you'll definitely be taking lots of pictures with this baby, and while battery life is good-the last thing you want to do is run out of juice when the party is just getting started!
Also buy as much SD memory as you can afford!
**Please note-this is a point-and-shoot camera with a few advanced features to play and have fun with... it takes the guesswork out of pictures. While the camera has a host of features to help you take better pictures based on the situation and lighting, it does not prevent or protect the user from taking bad or poorly composed pictures. Read the manual for the basics then get out there, take lots of pictures and find out how to improve yourself!
this camera rocks! August 24, 2004

slurged on this camera before a trip to europe. did a lot of research first and decided on the Nikon. then found it at electricsam.com for $360! score. also found cheap memory at bestbuy (256 mb/$35), score again. the size is perfect - small but no too small to get a good grip on. and very easy to use with all these pre-set options. i used a bunch of them: lanscape (w/ and w/out peeps), arcitecture (w/ and w/out peeps), museum, sunset, indoor, portrait, etc. and the settings really make a difference. i took some pictures of the alps in austria lining things up with the display on landscape mode and the pictures came out absolutely sick! we had several blown up (16X20!) and they look as good as the professional photos of the mts in utah we bought last winter. also very cool b&w and panaramic modes.
highly highly recommend the nikon 5200!

I have been looking at digital camers for a very long time. I wanted a 5 mega-pixel at the consumer price range that was easy to use and small enough to place in a pocket. The Nikon 5200 meets these simple needs and far exceeds any other expectation. From the start this was an easy camera to operate. I was taking pictures right out of the box. After spending some time to read about it's other capabilities, I learned that there are some super cool things it can do. The "sport" mode is wonderful. I can take a picture of a golf swing, my son pitching, or any other action shot with a series of 21 pictures in rapid succession. You get to see the progression of the action through each frame. The Movie mode is also cool. It is very easy to move from pictures to movies. You don't have to be a member of Mensa to maneuver through the options. I love the ability to add voice memos to the pictures AND, this to is very easy. Nothing complicated about this camera. Loads of options, easy to use, OH and did I mention great looking pictures....So happy I waited for the Nikon 5200.
