Nikon D5200 tops all APS-C DSLRs in Dxomark measurements

The Nikon D5200 is using a 24-megapixel APS-C sensor with a Toshiba connection. Dxomark measures RAW sensor data. Dxomark evaluations are not intended to be end-to-end camera system evaluations. But they do provide data that for the average photographer is impossible or impractical to gather on his or her own. With that as a semi-necessary preface, there is a new Dxomark APS-C king and queen...

... it is the Nikon D5200! It is currently the highest ranking APS-C camera at the DXomark ratings.

Why is it in the ratings list? Because Dxomark published their evaluation of the camera - here come their measurements and their comparisons and spartan conclusions.

For a refresher on the Dxomark testing process, here is a detailed article by Stephen Shankland of CNet who visited Dxo in the spring of 2012. For an analysis of the Dxomark testing process, check a December 2012 post by Peter van der Hamer at Luminous.

Availability-wise, the Nikon D5200 with the 18-55mm kit lens is in-stock for $900 in black or red or bronze at a combination of Amazon and B&H Photo and Adorama.
