It's Nikon 5200 on par with full frame?

It's good, but not on a par, particularly once you get off of ISO 100, or are looking for low light capability or color depth. Also remember that you are looking at JPGs in the comparator, either straight out of camera (JPEG button) or processed through Adobe Camera Raw (RAW setting). You really have to download the RAWS for the cameras you want to compare and load them into a suitable post-processor for detailed examination. Closer inspection will show that the D600 (for example) offers around 1 stop better ISO range than the D5200 does for similar quality. One can quibble about fractions of a stop this way or that, but FF sensors' 1 stop theoretical advantage is still basically real.
