Nikon D5200 is now available in the US. The new DX-format entry level DSLR has an effective pixel count of approximately 24.1 MP and comes equipped with a 39-point AF system, a 2,016-pixel RGB sensor and a side-hinged vari-angle LCD monitor.
Adorama has a limited quantity of the Nikon D5200 DSLR Camera with 18-55mm Lens in stock.
I will likely end up selling my D5100 and replacing with this, once the price settles down a little in a few months. It's the perfect small travel body.
Nikon has now another partner besides Sony, Aptina Renesas and it's Toshiba. The sensor in the camera is a Toshiba manufactured sensor.
How many partners have the Canon? and where is a new sensor tech from Canon?

If the new sensor is as good as or better than the 16mp sensor for noise/DR, I'll be interested in one of these. I've been playing with a d5100 for the last couple of months and really like having a small body, especially with that swivel screen, for daily carry or quick snaps.
But, the sensor is key to me. I don't want a high ISO noisebox, so I'm very interested in seeing the full range of performance on this sensor. I don't care about the compressed 14bit RAW. My experiments with the d800 compressed RAW have alleviated my concern on using the compression for most shoots.
