The Nikon D5100 is a great camera that really shocked it's competitors when it was launched. Even now it stands up well against newer and more expensive competitors. So what are Nikon going to do to improve it? 
Well. of course, file size has become the measure of all new cameras recently, particularly since it's sibling, the nikon D800 launched a few months ago offering a massive 36 MegaPixel file size. Whilst many of us probably couldn't tell the difference between between say a 22 MP file and a 36MP file, the new Nikon D5200 will have to step up to at least 24Mp to remain credible in it's class.
The Nikon D5200 should also be able to offer a quicker burst speed, perhaps doubling the current 4FPS. If that could be combined with an inbuilt motor for no AF-S lenses, and a faster shutter speed, up to 1/8000, the D5200 would become a pretty awesome action camera.
The tiltable backscreen on the D5100 is particularly good for shooting video and was a real innovation when the camera was launched. Hopefully the D5200 will keep the articulated screen, but increase the resolution. Videographers might also expect a higher frame rate for better quality - perhaps up to 60 Frames per Second.
The new D800 has blown the opposition out of the water with its ISO settings. It can get usable images shooting in a coal cellar, so Nikon will certainly be expected to better the current ISO available on the D5100 from 25,600 to at least 102,400. Offering more focus points would also be useful - eleven just isn't enough these days.
One of the common complaints about the D5100 was that ISO control was buried in the menu and not easy to access. Hopefully the D5200 will have a dedicated button for it. A depth of field preview button would be welcome as well.
At the top of the camera, a full 100% frame viewfinder would be good and, although the pop up flash is satisfactory, it isn't the greatest. Room for improvement here we think - and adding built-in wireless flash control would be a real plus too.
With the increase in file sizes, storage is always going to be at a premium. An extra memory card slot would enable more flexibility, especially with RAW files. Also the EN-EL14 rechargeable battery must be improved. It is really showing it's age and only lasts for about 300 shots, which really isn't good enough.
