Nikon D5200; Worth snapping up?

Source: Engadget

Nikon Inc. revealed at their booth at CES this week that they would make the D5200 available to US shoppers (and indirectly the Caribbean) by late January. The long overdue upgrade to Nikon's entry level DSLR line would be available for $899.95 US, a little cheaper than the previously anticipated price tag of over $1000 US. 

Much like the recently released D3200, the 24.1 megapixel  D5200 will have wireless capabilities and a powerful new Expeed 3 processor. The D5200 also has a whopping 39 focus points, rather than the 11 its predecessor has. As Nikon refreshes its line of entry level DSLRs we're slowly seeing their bar being raised, and unavoidably, the price tag. 

Should DSLR-owners-to-be skip the entry level options all together?

  1. I honestly can't see this entry level body camera competing with the pro body of the D7000. The price difference is practically almost $200...
