Re: Nikon cameras?

I've liked my Coolpixes but I wanted to shoot RAW files so I got the
D5200.  Which is a genuine DSLR, but it would take  a bucket full of lenses
to duplicate the 18-1000mm range the P520 can do.  It doesn't charge from
USB like the P520, it was a big deal to have the LCD swivel like the P520.
It's like it's from a different, older camera family with updated display
and sensor.  It's bigger and heavier.  Does a wonderful job, especially on
a tripod.  It's my "big" camera, for quick things I grab the Coolpix.
Milkweed, D5200 https://flash.nikonians.org/7al63szp If the link works,
this Flash junk is new and I don't like it.
