These are details from the centre of photos, all taken at ISO 100 with a 1/200s shutter speed and 35mm focal length (50mm for the full-frame Sony A99). Each shot was taken five times (from left to right). The top two rows demonstrate a big difference when stabilisation is on and off. Switching from the kit lens to a 35mm prime lens (middle row) improves sharpness further, and it's only then that the D5200 can match the 16-megapixel Sony NEX-5N with its kit lens (fourth row). The Sony A99 (bottom row) shows what a 24-megapixel SLR can and should be capable of.

The D5200's 24-megapixel photos are a little bigger than the Canon 650D's 18-megapixel output, but it's the Canon that picks out more detail (particularly in the hair) in JPEGs
-
Comparing their raw output narrows the gap, but we'd still be hesitant to say that the D5200 is more detailed than the 650D

Direct comparison with the same shot taken with an 18-megapixel Canon EOS 7D reveals the full extent of the problem
