Nikon parts i need a replacement battery cover for my nikon 5200 coolpix camera. where can i purchase one as the camera specialists where i live are expensive.

Difficult for me to understand why you are replacing the door unless it is broken or have a broken catch that you can’t superglue. Cameras are delicate items and you can damage it beyond repair.We are going through this Covid crisis so recommend sticking a bit of tape or something but would definitely entrust this job to specialist that deals with camera repairs unless age, cost and condition warrants you to strip it down.

About 18USD for the battery cover and 74USD for the LCD.

Your camera will accept a maximum SD card capacity of 1GB. It simply isn't capable of handling anything of a larger capacity and in particular is incompatible with the more technically advanced SDHC cards.

Your fix is to either replace your camera with a later model or to stick to using SD cards with a maximum 1GB capacity.

The 5200 was designed primarily as a still camera, storing images (and videos) to memory. It was not designed to function as a webcam, streaming live videos to another device.

That probably wasn't the answer you wanted to see, but there it is.

You can get that replaced or repaired thru the list of Nikon Authorized service centers near you area. Just click the link::

Is that the battery compartment, use rubber bands to hold them together!? If this is the problem, I am thinking of a solution that works yet! If you have problems with that back contact put aluminium foil on the contacts.
