- Can an old camera like a Nikon d5200 still make decent shots today? Of course it can! In this video I take my old Nikon, the first camera I've ever bought, out on the streets for some good ol' street photography. POV style.
The Nikon d5200 is an eight year old, aps/c camera with 24 megapixels and I haven't used it for quite some time. I have to say, the images surprise me! And you?
What's the oldest camera you own? Do you still use it sometimes?

8 Years is not such a long period, but in technology the development is so fast.... Four weeks ago, I made the same challenge and took out my 10 years old Pentax K-7 and I was surprised about the quality.
Indeed, you could argue that an 8 year old camera isn’t even an ‘old’ camera.. But everything is changing so fast in tech!
Compare that 11 year old K-7 and compare it with a 14 year old Nikon (for example a D90) and you will be surprised again....
I have had a D5200 for years and a great camera. A much better camera than my skills with it. Great video, keep up the great work.
i got a Nikon D5100 and i love it, i'm going to buy a 50mm lens soon, looking forward to that.
Nice. I bought this camera way back 2013. I was really interested in photography. As a beginner, I watched and read almost everything about photography back then. I enjoyed snapping pictures everytime I see of interests. 2017, I stopped because I needed to focus on building my skills on transitioning to IT industry. When I saw this video about this camera, it excites me to get back with photography. Great content
Thanks for showing off your corner of the world! Beautiful city. Nice photos. My oldest camera I'm shooting with is my 2001 Olympus e-20. It's just fun to go back to the basics sometimes and stop relying on crazy dynamic range or high MP to get me out of trouble ;)
Thanks! I agree, sometimes less is more!
Nice interaction with the older gent -
The D5200 is still my first and only camera. After buying a few lenses, it's all I need to enjoy shooting still. Going to get the 16-80mm lens and keep at it 👍
I've got the d50 at the moment and want to d5200. I also need a 16-80mm lens because I only have a 70-300mm at the moment
@@leoclements8017 it's pretty good for my amateur-hour self to be honest. I've also been looking at the 16-80. It seems perfect for me, but it's expensive though. I have the 70-300 too, plus a 35mm prime, and a 11-16 wide for landscapes. Unless I quit my day job to be a photographer, this camera is still great for everything.
@@leoclements8017 wow the D50, now that brings back memories! That was my first DSLR. Then I went to the D200, then the D5200, now I have the D7500. They're all great cameras!
man me too! awesome camera even today!
Loved the review and the city tour!. I currently use a D5200 but when I get nostalgic I go out with some of my film cameras. In those occasions, I use a Yashica MAT124G, a Zeiss Ikonta 524/2 or my father’s Ihagee Exa type 4 (first 35 mm I ever used). My oldest cameras would probably be : Target Brownie SIX-16 made in the late 1940s (film format discontinued 35-40 years ago), a 1954 8 mm cine-camera Paillard-Bolex B8 and a Graflex Crown Graphic from the early 1950s. I mostly used the Crown Graphic to shoot landscape and it’s a great camera but being mostly stuck in the city, i must admit it’s a bit too cumbersome and conspicuous to be great street photography gear 😉
Love the camera review especially since you are in Holland. I was stationed there in the 80’s at Soesterberg Air Base.
I still use this camera after 5 years. want to transition to p1000 now. but it was so cool to see some of your camera skills. you have a really good eye for photos. thanks for this video and cheers on your photography career. Love from India.
That conversation with the old man warmed my heart. Also thanks for the video! Im still a teen but ive taken a liking of photography, and im still starting with that particular camera you’re using. I tend to focus on taking pictures mostly of people and not really the surroundings itself so this really inspired me 👏
That’s great to hear!
Exactly! I still use this camara with newer lenses. Also, I keep my 35mm prime lense in my bag for its compact size and good image quality.
Nice!!
I still take my old canon 60d out sometimes. It’s the camera that I really learned manual shooting with.
Awesome! Still great 😎
Awesome video! Awesome Place! I love street photography and I have a second hand d5200, I was wondering if you have had the same issue as me with RAW files taking forever and a day to save. I have had some autofocus issues too. Any cameras you recommend upgrading to for a beginner in 2021? I also am going to get a nice 50mm 1.8F hopefully by the end of the year :) Thanks
The man with the hat was brilliant. Nice shots 👍🏻
Old camera! 😂 Here I am using an Olympus OM-1. I really like the grading you did on both color and b&w images.
Still using my Pentax K5 from time to time travelling, its a 2010 camera but put a good lens on and will do travel/street photo as any other camera would. And i bought it in 2014 second hand, by the way.
Nice video! You should have more POV style street photography videos. It's quite refreshing!
Thought you're a Pentax ambassador? :) Regardless, I'm happy to find that you're doing other brands too!
My oldest camera in my possession is the original Pentax *ist D. The one with the CF card, proper pentaprism OVF and two control wheels. Nothing like the good ol' 6MP CCD.
Haha yeah I am still ambassador but I like to use several brands... It all doesn’t matter that much, they all shoot photo’s 😅🤙
I use a D5200 and love it. Use ist with a 16-85 DX, a 35 and 50 DX and a Tamron 18-200.
Excellent. I use a Nikon D5500 with a Tamron 18-200mm, Youngnou 35mm and 50mm lenses, 18-55 Kit lens and a Sigma 17-70mm lens
So far so good d5200 is a good starter camera still using it right now!
Thanks for your videos. My D5200 is the first camera that my Mom bought me when i started out to learn photography during my early days in college and yes she has a designated photographer for every family trip 😁. This camera has been with me from around 2014 until now and i even brought it to work as well. I've tried several cameras including the mirrorless Fuji camera. This video made me want to fire up the camera again.
My oldest camera now has got to be the Fujica MA Flash film camera from my Mom. I think she got it back in the 1984 or 1989, and that camera still performs! Although the flash has been out of service
Got d5200, not thinking of jumping to mirrorless as yet, I have 35 nikkor and 18-200 nikkor, sold my 10-24 as not getting used much. It's a delightful set up and taken fantastic photos. There has been slight autofocus issues at time though
I love this video. Even thought the camera is an old model it doesn't mean you cannot create beautiful pictures and videos. The camera is just a tool. What really matters is the one behind the camera..
Hi there I have the Nikon D5200 and still use it today, people always blame the equipment a good photographer can use all most any camera, the Nikon D5200 is an excellent camera I would not change it.
Good content there is quite a few people these days going back to older decent technology. Seeking uniqueness. Using a x-e2
1965 Canon Demi, I also have a NIKON D5000 - it's still functional, but not always a pleasing camera to handle.
I just got a D5100 with two very nice lenses as a gift 🙏 i’ve been shooting film, wanting to go digital. This is the video I needed!!!
That's great to hear! Keep it up!!
My dad's camera is also Nikon D5200, Sigma Lens 18-200mm.
my Stepfather died a couple years ago and he had this camera. I am wanting to start in Photography for fun and my mom sent me this camera with all his lenses. I just received it yesterday and I enjoyed watching your video. I am very new to this hobby and have a lot to learn for sure. Thank You
I use a cannon ae-1 program and shoot film and I absolutely love it out of all 7 of my cameras I stay shooting on the ae1
My first DSLR was the Nikon D50, biught it when our daughter was born. Then I got the D200, then the D5200, and now shoot on the D7500. I loved them all! Good glass definitely makes a difference! Current good glass is the Nikkor 17-55 f/2.8mm, Tamron 70-200mm G2 f/2.8, and Nikkor 50mm f1.8. I have a few telephoto lenses I don't use anymore, the Nikkor 18-55mm, Nikkor 70-300mm, Nikkor 18-105mm, Tamron 18-270mm, Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8. Thinking of selling the D5200 and the other lenses since I rarely use them.
Yes my oldest is a Nikon D5200, collecting dust. Just cleaned it up last weekend to test.
Awesome stuff the first camera I got my hands on 8 years ago. I'm still using it. Haha...
Tanks for a nice video. In 2016 I was bicycling in Netherland. I have had my D5200 for six or seven years and the pictures are used i magazines and books. Yesterday I ordered a Nikon z5. I am a Norwegian photo journalist and have used Nikon cameras since I bought a Nikkormat in 1972. It still works; one of my sons use it now.
Thanks! Would love to visit Norway someday! How do you like the Z5?
@@NielsdeKemp Don't know, I'll get it in two or three days. I guess the price and quality will match. For the last years I've spent more time with video making than photography and I'm producing films for a local TV station. Youl find a lot of my films on TH-cam. Tell me when you come to Norway!
God Bless the King. The dutch are AWESOME!!!
Hey, I have a question - when you switch to the LIVE feed mode that shows you the image on the screen.. I wanted to use that to make a video... When it's set to AUTO on the lens behind the main buttons with two options Auto and Manual.. Whets its set on Auto every 5 seconds there's a sound of something coming from the inside, like its running some sensors or something or moving something inside.. its never heard on the normal mode, without the live preview.. and its gone when you switch that button to manual. so to record a video you need to switch to manual to not hear it every 5 seconds.. do you have something like that too?
very nice video for this camera model . actually I bought it new in 2014 with a 18-55mm basic lens kit and havent really used that much . the thing is if I sell my new-looking camera with the lens I wont even get half of its price for what i got it for. I bought 50mm lens some years ago too but right now I am thinking to keep the body and maybe get a lense upgrade to say 85mm 1.8g . as I am interested in fashion street style shots .
should I go for that or it wont be worth it ? considering this is crop sensor (not full frame ) camera so wouldnt 85 appear to be 50mm ? if yes then how can I achieve 85mm results then ?
would really appreciate your help :D thanks a bunch
The perfect camera for street photography,small and light.
The best combination.
I just did a similar video on my street photography.
I love it!
I bought a D5200 a few years ago as my first digital Dslr....I find it a very underrated camera and would highly recommend to anyone starting out in Photography . A great buy for around £300 secondhand with the 18-55 lens and accessories ...Gouda looks a very beautiful City btw...
Does it have 1080p 60fps? Act i also want to buy my first dslr..its so confusing to choose nikon d5200 or canon eos 200d ..cause i love to take both picture and video( sorry if my grammar bad, not really good in english, hope u understand ^-^)
Hahaha "old camera challenge" ... is that the famous Dutch humor :p ... I was more expecting a Nikon D70 maybe or the Canon EOS 300D! But still fun to watch and entertaining video!
To your question: My first camera ever was a Kodak "Pocket Instamatic" and no I don't have it anymore, I shot it when I was between 6 and 9 years old ;) First camera I paid for with my own money (working after school in a supermarket) a gorgeous used Nikon Nikkormat that I bought in 1991, sold it (great mistake) in the mid-2000s ...
Never sell a vintage camera! 😎
I am still using this model on events as my main cam (can't afford a new one yet) and it still works well despite of some technological disadvantage.
I also use a D5200! hopefully I can still use it for a while and hopefully I can get new lenses!
sir i have question, any isue for overheating when u use this camera, thx before, nice street photograp
I use the Nikon D5500 which I bought in 2016 which I use for my street photography it works wonders
great video ! my oldest is canon 5D classic...awesome camera!
The original... great!
Adorei teu vídeo! Eu tenho uma Nikon D 5200😃
My only issue with this camera is that you cannot see manual mode adjustments happen on LiveView. Meaning if you change ISO or Shutter speed, LiveView will not show you how differently the photo will turn out
i think that old man is a war veteran , i think i should hit the street with my nikon d3000 wahahahha pretty old camera and my canon 600d
I am still shooting with my Canon 60D. Still takes a great shot, but does show it's age when comparing it to the new ones... I look at it this way; The gear doesn't make you a better photographer, getting out there and shooting with what you have does. There is no better camera than the one you have right now, get out there and use it. I find I use my cell phone camera for practice composing shots as it is always with me.
Thanks for the video, great work!!
Yes! You are spot on. 👍
Canon EOS T1i, dust bunny. We’re spoiled by capabilities of current cameras. “Thunder down under”???”
Using a Nikon D3300 with 50mm 1.8 Nikkor ... Recently felt the need for a camera with more focus points
I use a Nikon D40X & still love it.
Ha Niels, leuke video!!! Ik zag op instagram van de posts die je met deze camera gemaakt hebt eigenlijk geen verschil in kwaliteit met modernere camera's. Op dit moment heb ik naast mijn Nikon Z6 ook nog steeds mijn 'oude' Nikon d7200; het is dat de Z6 full frame is en wat meer mogelijkheden geeft om in de nabewerking fouten te herstellen, en zaken heeft als eye-autofocus, maar wat is de d7200 nog steeds, bijna 6 jaar na introductie een fijne en goede camera ......
Zeker weten! Je kan met dit soort cameras nog prima uit de voeten! Maar nieuwer is vaak wel fijner hoor 😉
I still love my 5200.
hello. It goes up to 1/4000, but if I plug in a flash, it immediately goes down to 1/200 and doesn't go higher. how can i adjust it? It supports up to flash1/8000 by the way.
I like your review sir. I live in antwerpen but my wife is from rotterdam. I am planning to buy a second hand d5200 to begin my photography. This help me a lot.. thanks sir. And i already subscribed sir. Doi doi
What mode did you use? Was that Aperture priority, or Manual?
My oldest camera is a Nikon d1 and I keep it due to its vintage value. I don’t actually use it actively for photography even if it is perfectly working :-)
good work
I used my Argus 1940's range finder 35mm until 2001 when it was stolen.. then my 1980 Nikon 35mm was last used 2008 in the Tetons.
So sad it got stolen... :(
@@NielsdeKemp it produced pictures as one might think an old 35mm would, All Ricky Ricardo and Tropicana or (enter metaphor here.) Wow now that I think of it, it's sad to say I wish I hadn't.
You missed the books at 6:50 I still use my Lumix dmc lc5.
Just for photography, this is a great camera
I have been thinking strongly about trading in my Nikon D90 (heavy body and big) for a 5200. Much easier to handle, and I so enjoy street photography. What is your opinion about that? And by the way, thank you so much for your informative video, Niels!
Same but I've got the d50 at the moment
I'm on the verge of picking up a D5200 (at 50% market value - fingers crossed! that's why I'm here today).
I was initially looking for a camera I could use to scan 120 negatives as I am planning to get back into my hobby of taking B&W photos with 1950's Voigtlander folders. perkeo, bessa II etc. Old enough for you?
I also need a camera to do videos for elearning programes.
D5200 seems to be the best overall value 2nd hand DSLR to get at the moment - enough pixels (24mp), modern functionality (articulated screen), microphone jack, best ISO range, etc.
Thanks for making a great video here!
How much are you paying?

7:24 what were they doin up there?
It's my first camera as well 😌
Hi! I have the same camera Since 2015.
Can you please suggest me a Nikon Camera with better auto focus but still share the same lenses?
I bought a canon eos m200 for my first camera then a week later I got a rlly good deal on a Nikon D5200 island it work’s amazing😁
Hey chief, I hope you answer ASAP as I can see this is a very old but highly helpful video.
What lenses did you use for these photographs? I'm looking at purchasing this camera.
thanks in advance for your answer 😊
Hi Vic! I used the 35mm 1.8. It’s great and rather cheap!!
@@NielsdeKemp yay! Thanks for replying! 🙏🏾
@@NielsdeKemp at the camera shop, I eventually ended up getting the Nikon D7000. So far I've fallen in love with it. I never knew I had this deep love for photography.
Thanks for this video chief!
we have the D90 here and also a vivitar (V2000 i think)... we use the D90 but the vivitar not animore. i use personally the D5200 more then the rest here.
I own a 600D from Canon. I think that it's roughly from the same time period as the Nikon showed in the video.
I must admit that the focus issues are the biggest problem of those cheaper older bodies. They're absolutely notorious of not being able to just nail it when you need it.
I bought this camera way back 2015 and still use it with kit and 50mm f1.8g lens. If I want to sell and upgrade my camera lets say with hybrid photo and video capability, and budget around $600-700.
What camera you suggest Neils?
I'd look into Fujifilm, maybe one of the older X100...
@@NielsdeKemp thanks Neils
video made me to dust off my a5100 and take a few photos while I hanging out with my friends for the weekend
That is great!! Thanks for letting me know, appreciate it 😃👊
Hello. Can you help me? I have a choice between Sony slt a57 and Nikon d5200. Which one is better to take? And which one would you choose?
I have good experience in mobile photography, but in these (DSLRs) I am a beginner and cannot choose :)
@@nurboluzakbay2316, lenses for sony cost a lot, but for Nikon you can find cheap and good
Komende uit het analoge tijdperk: Minolta XE5, Minolta Weathermatics, Minolta HiMatic, daarna digitaal met Olympus u720SW, Olympus OMD eM10, Pentax KSP, Nikon D90, Nikon D7100.
Mijn D7100 staat standaard in 13 MP mode. Ik ben van Nikon gaan houden... Mooie camera's.
Hé leuke video! De Nikon d5200 is een prima camera, zeker als je serieus met fotografie aan de slag wilt en weinig budget hebt. Nikon's staan bekend om hun beeldkwaliteit! Zelf ben ik begonnen met een d5300, overgestapt naar een d7200 en nu bezit ik een d800e. Ook dat is inmiddels een oudje, maar wel een goed oudje. Mijn dochter van 11 heeft een d3000 en zelf die camera weet indruk te maken met zijn beeldkwaliteit!
Bedankt Lolke! Hele Nikon familie dus! Wat mijn video niet verteld is dat ik ben beginnen met Nikon omdat mijn vader Nikon schiet. Inmiddels overgestapt op andere merken maar de d5200 koestert warme herinneringen!
i have a nikon d80 17 years old and i unfortunatly cant find the battery charger for it
can you test the video quality? because this is the cheapest camera with 60 fps support in my country
Video quality is pretty decent for a camera from that year… bear in mind the 60fps is interlaced, so you only have 30fps in real frames.. The first video’s on my channel are all filmed with this camera!
Hahahaha, die Rutte Meme. Stukgaan. Had to subscribe
🤣 thanks
D70s, it's my first and unique camera. Passed by my father
Can I use it?
Hi niels
Loved the challenge i saw this camera on kamera-express for 230 euro +lens
Worth it?
Thanks! It depends how you look at it, the camera is a bit older now, so in terms of low-light performance and autofocus speed it’s not up to current standards. However, it’s still a great camera to start you photographic journey and take great shots!
@@NielsdeKemp
I dont know if you have the time for it but there is a Nikon D5200+ AFS 18/55mm
And a nikon d3400 afp 18/55mm
For the same price
I just want to do some potraits or a all arounder if you know what i mean,
Sorry for youre time!
My second came is Nikon D80 and yesterday I ordered second hand D5200 to replace it my second camera, not because D80 is poor but I want liveview that I does not allways use Viewfinder and keep camera on my face.
Well, My D7000 is currently My oldest Nikon. Two D7100's, a D5100 and a D5200 keep it company and - yes - they all get used.
That’s great!
I thought for a second the old man was drunk. But then he said he was 88...
I still have this camera with a kit and a 50mm. Plan on taking landscape with just this on my next trip to egypt
Eindelijk iemand die echt lekker Engels spreekt en waarbij je niet direct hoort dat je een Nederlander bent..
TH-cam is ook weer lekker bezig met zijn algorithme en het voorstellen van de kleine kanalen die mij interesse hebben! Consider me subscribed and a follower on Instagram.
On topic; dit was ook mijn eerste camera, heb nog een hoop foto's hiervan, je geeft me dan ook het idee om deze weer eens op te zoeken en te kijken hoe ik toen was en of ik ze met mijn huidige skills kan bewerken! Thanks!
Jij bedankt man! Thnx voor je reactie! 👊
Original Olympus OMD EM-5 2012 model
تصوير جميل 🤩👍
bro I'm thinking of buying it second hand to be my first camera is whorth?
Yep 5200 is one of the best. And d3300 for photos still grate too.
(Both with kit lens even 18-105 it will be terrible in many situations).
But if you have $350-400 try to find something smaller and faster like hybryd focusing or something like 5d2, 6d, d600, or even 7R - 7S.
!All in all lens and light - huge prioritiy
Mijn oudste camera is de canon eos 50d september 2007 op de markt gekomen. het is een 15,1 mp. Hij is erg zwaar. In 2020 Door zelf reinigen van de sensor van mij 2000d. heb ik die camera gesloopt. Ik had geen geld voor een andere camera ik zag deze camera voor 185 euro op amazon. ik wilde blijven fotograferen. Ik heb enkele maanden met deze camera gefotografeerd. Eigenlijk door deze camera heb ik meer geleerd over camera instelling. Ik moest veel instellen op de cfn. Ik ben zelfs door canon benaderd of ze een van mijn foto's mochten gebruiken die ik gemaakt had met de D50. Ook dat croppen met 15 mp niet zo succes is. Dus moest er voorzorgen dat mijn onderwerp zoveel mogelijk beeld vullend was.
Fijn als je een camera hebt waardoor je beter leert fotograferen, dat had ik met mijn d5200 ook!
Lens?
On the Nikon or on the film camera? 😅
@@NielsdeKemp the nikon 😅
Shame you missed focus because you didn't zone focused ... great job tho
Why are you taking pictures sideways?
You mean portrait? Because I choose to?
@@NielsdeKemp, no…I meant sideways

I have this camera. I got it used. I want to make a TH-cam channel. I'm not sure if it works. I have 5 different lenses. Some say VR on them. Is that like virtual reality or something? I'm an old fart and am baffled brother. Do you have a beginners how to it I reset all the settings. My lens are Af-s Nikkor 55-200 (on the camera), Af Nikkor 50mm, Nikkor 135mm Japan, Nikon lens series e 100mm 1 : 2.8, Promaster 62mm.
I'm disabled and want to make a channel about my life. Maybe a review channel. And a channel about some elderly folks that aren't being treated right. I want their voices to be heard. Nice to meet you all. Jesse
Hi Jesse, that’s a nice setup of lenses! I’d say just start making video’s with you phone, there’s a lot of simple video editing software out there like Kinemaster. Perfect for when you are starting out. Let me know when you have made your first video, I will be watching!
Hi Jesse. That is a worthy cause, and I say go for it, and thank you.
little creepy
If you cannot take /edit images without blowing the highlights you should not make a review about a camera. Please start again with the basics of digital photography and exposure.
That means a lot coming from an accomplished photographer such as yourself 🤣 Thanks nerd
I purchased this one about 6yrs ago for my 1st dslr w/kit lens, didn't do much with it and got sidetracked with other things in life. Now I am trying to get back into photography and videos, just purchased a 35mm prime...now I just gotta stick with it! Good video✌️
Thats great!
