Is it worth to upgrade from D5100 to D5200? :think:

Grays of Westminster Glossary: AF-D and AF-G type Nikkor lenses
AF-D
![]()
The AF-D type Nikkor lenses have a conventional mechanical aperture ring (indicated by the arrow to the right). If the aperture value is to be controlled from the body of a compatible Nikon camera the aperture ring must be set to its minimum value (highest f/ number). To prevent accidental movement of the aperture ring from its minimum value the ring can be locked in place by a small switch adjacent to the ring (indicated by the arrow to the left).
AF-S

The AF-G type Nikkor lenses lack conventional aperture rings; the white dot seen close to the edge of the lens barrel is the lens mounting index mark.

Personally I don't think it is that much of an upgrade over the D5100.
As a D5000 user the D5200's video mode is what attracts me the most. However, I was hoping they would have given it 1080 60p video rather than 60i. And hopefully we can change aperture during video recording/live view mode with the D5200.
What I would really like to see on a camera that sits in between the entry D3XXX line and D7XXX line, is more direct access controls (ISO, WB, Image Quality etc.) in a compact light weight body. Something with lots of external controls without the bulk of something like the D90 or D7000.
Direct access control of ISO/WB/Shutter in a compact light weight body made me thought of 1 camera. X100![]()
I hope KenRockwell.com: Photography, Cameras and Taking Better Pictures website should have more info you need.
Like that Ai & non Ai, Ai-S do you know?

on serious note, & to spoon-fed ...
Google for your...
That AF screw drive motor is not that cheap, once to be add in built-in should be have design more wider space to allow the screw drive with motor.
One more thing Is that AF-D lenses optical cannot be great like G lenses on Full HD output.
Ok, so D & G is just a aperture ring control... so how does the following come into play?

daredevil123 said:D stands for Distance. AF-D adds a chip in the lens to send Distance information to the camera.
G stands for Gilded = no aperture ring.
Whether a lens is D or G has no bearing whatsoever to its performance. Performance is best gauged specific lens to lens.
You can ignore this in the standard Nikon user, should find out what's the purpose of lenses on Nikon history!
