I had my mind set up already to get the nikon d5200 but mostly bc of its Wi-Fi and flip screen and bc I wanted a red body. Well I was watching some YouTube videos on this camera and came across this video And it was nikon d5200 vs Pentax k30, and was super upset with the color quality and now I dnt want it, I'm dnt have a computer or any kind of editing for pictures do the color really matters. Also I dnt care about video either just picture quality. I read a review on that video and said that I shouldn't go off of that specific video because that person could have had the settings set differnt than the other. So I went on Flickr.com to look at some pictures takin by nikon d5200, and I have to say non of them attract me like the color quality a Pentax or canon has. I also looked at pictures from the nikon d3200 and even that camera has better color then the d5200. All the pictures for the nikon d5200 pictures look faded lacking color quality and even the ones that have color I can tell they have been edited. I wish someone can do a YouTubee review with comparasons of the nikon d5200 camera pictures and compare to other camera pictures with all settings at auto using kit lenses.

Never base your buying decisions on a YouTube video, especially for a camera costing hundreds of dollars.

First, you don't know how competent the person creating the video is, and second, you do not know if they have a nefarious agenda.

Honestly Sarah, The best advice for a newcomer to photography is to pop into a camera store and try the different cameras from each manufacturer, there isn't an awful lot of difference in quality, it is more important to have a camera that you find comfortable and enjoy holding.

I think its a bit 'off' that you want to spend some serious money on a DSLR camera - without having the support of a 'computer' - I have over 30 years experience in photographic equipment and my last camera for 10 years was the Pentax i'st DS (only 6 megapixels), I just bought the D5100 recently because the price was good… If I had your money to invest i'd buy a Pentax… That is what I prefer… And that doesn't mean that you would enjoy it… Great Cameras though.

As I always say - doesn't matter what you buy, if you don't understand how to use it and aren't prepared to invest some time to learn… Then you are wasting your money.

You can't trust anything you see on youtube. I saw a video on youtube that says Jesus died in Japan!
The D5200 is a great upper entry level camera.
