$899 is kind of high for that grade of body I think. I would have
figured $750 or so, but I guess the D3200 occupies that price-point.

In comparison what does the 5200 offer over the 3200 and are they
necessary ?

So you are paying $300 extra for an articulated LCD. The other
differences are trivial.

I personally do not like the articulated LCDs. Nothing against THEM, but I
just know that I (sorry I cannot embolden, italicize, and underline the
previous I's) would find a way to screw it up, or break it.

I don't use the LCD to shoot images - all through the viewfinder. Only
the occasional review of what's been shot (throw back from film days).

You can get away without one, but there have been occasions when an
articulated LCD will allow you to do things you can't do with a
viewfinder. Mostly for "grab" or "documentary shots."



You have answered your question from above. If you like to use the
articulated screen, and time lapse, you pay the extra money to get them.
I would give my wisdom teeth, and prolong my knees if I had an
articulated viewfinder on my camera. Actually I purchased a third party
EVF.
