Both the D7100 and the D5200 feature 24MP DX sensors, can shoot full HD video, include built-in HDR and effects, and are compatible with Nikon's optional WU-1A mobile adapter for added Wi-Fi connectivity. However, the D7100 is an enthusiast level DSLR and therefore has more advanced features than the consumer level D5200. For example, the D7100 has a built-in focus motor while the D5200 does not - meaning that there is a wider array of compatible NIKKOR lenses that will autofocus on the D7100. The D7100 also has built-in commander mode capable of wirelessly triggering Nikon speedlights wirelessly - a feature not built into the D5200. At full resolution, the D7100 can shoot up to 6 frames per second continuously while the D5200 can shoot up to 5 frames per second. The D7100 can shoot approximately 950 shots on a fully charged battery compared to the D5200’s 500 shots. The D7100 features a higher resolution rear monitor than the D5200 and has 2 SD card slots compared to the single slot of the D5200. Other advanced features found in the D7100 that are not found in the D5200 are flash bracketing, high-speed flash sync, and the ability to save images as lossless compressed 12or 14 bit NEF/RAW files. Both cameras are great performers - but the D7100 would be the preferred choice for a more advanced user.
