Ok I'm new to DSLR cameras and I got my Nikon D5200, now I read all the instructions and setting up but my pictures are a bit foggy, tiny bit blurry, please help me… This sucks I make a sharper image with my android…

"Foggy" could mean you have excessive lens flare or a dirty front lens element (if the lens element is dirty, gently clean it. Once the lens is clean, place a clean UV filter on the lens to protect it from sticky fingers, mud or any other debris.

Blur is caused by camera movement when you are using too slow a shutter speed.

Shoot at shutter speeds of 1/250th or faster until you can learn to hold the camera steady as shown on page 21 of your user manual

To learn how to balance ISO, shutter speed and lens aperture, go to this link.

Could be any number of reasons. No way to diagnose what the problem is without seeing examples. Post a few, and give us a chance to answer. Otherwise all you'll get is speculation and generalities. I'll give you my general opinion: it's operator error, nothing to do with the camera.

I'm going to be frank with you. It sounds like you have taken the camera out of the box, put in batteries, turned it on, put it in AUTO, and started pressing the button. That is a total waste of the camera and yes, you will often get worse photos with it than with your android. The Nikon is a TOOL, but it is no better than how well you learn to use it.

Here are two things that will make immense improvements to your photos:

1. Read and study the owners manual that came with the camera.
2. Buy and use this book to actually learn how to use the camera to get the results that it is capable of giving.

I agree that we need to see an example to give you the best help.

Photos should not be tiny. I wrote this but there isn't enough room to post it here. It gives a lot of information on how you can capture clear photos.
