The
Nikon Coolpix 5200 and 4200 are
very similar to the 3200, but come with a larger
image sensor and higher resolution: 5.1 megapixel
for the 5200 and 4.0 megapixel for the 4200. They
both feature 3x optical zoom, 15 Scene Modes to
cover most picture-taking situations, and a choice
of Matrix, Center-weighted or Spot metering.
They
add grid lines for the LCD monitor to help obtain
a perfect horizontal. Sensitivity starts at ISO
64 for the 5200 and ISO 80 for the 4200. They
use the SecureDigital (SD) memory card exclusively.
Other
notable features:
Best Shot Selector to be used in difficult situations
where camera shake may cause blurred images;
the camera takes a number of shots and automatically
selects the sharpest one. And if it is still
blurry, Blur Detection warns you so you can
take it again.
A low-light AF-assist Illuminator helps obtain
focus lock in low-light situations.
Macro
as close as 4 cm (1.6 in.).
We
like the Nikon Coolpix 5200 for its easy-to-use
features, Nikkor quality lens, compact dimensions
and light weight.
