d5200 is as good as the d600!

Downloaded the samples from dpr...resized to equal...iso 12800...and no appreciable improvement, if anything, the D7k are slightly better color/contrast.  Too bad.

And similiar results from IR.    So...unless the AF is stellar (not expected...since the price range)...it's kinda...sigh.    I need hi iso for event shooting, and AF for same.  Ordinary results...like 400iso light...well, pretty well any cam does well there.
