Import Nikon D5200 H.264 MOV files to FCP X

When Nikon announced the entry-level 24MP D3200 back in April 2012, it seemed only a matter of time before the rest of its DX SLRs were upgraded to the same resolution. In reality it's taken rather longer than we expected, but finally the 24MP D5200 has appeared to replace the D5100 - just in time for the holiday season.

It would be tempting to assume that the D5200's 24MP CMOS sensor is the same as the D3200's, but Nikon very specifically says this isn't the case, and the two have slightly different specifications. In practical terms, the D5200 offers a higher extended ISO range compared to it's little brother - 25600 vs 12800 - and faster continuous shooting (5 fps vs 4). For video shooters the D5200 can record Full HD 1920 x 1080 movies at up to 60i or 50i (when set to NTSC and PAL respectively), although this uses a central crop of the sensor area (~1.25x). More conventional 30p, 25p and 24p modes use the full width of the sensor.
