The Guys say...
The D5200 has the advantage of being a newer, more modern camera, with better low-light performance and much higher resolution. The Canon 60D has the advantage of being a more "professional" camera, with a stronger battery, weather sealing, a higher resolution LCD screen, a built-in focus motor, and a real pentaprism viewfinder instead of the pentamirror found in the D5200 and other entry-level models. If you can live with the limitations imposed by the 60D's older sensor, it is a significantly easier camera to use.
