Nac reality is pic quality got stagnent after D5000, D90, D300s sensor ....just ISO is improving ...and my cam can take ISO 1600 without any issue soo it dont make sense to get a similar DSLR just for better ISO ...
other things like metering and focus points are immeterial in real life....I donno y companies give soo much emphesis of those....you know I mostly use single point focus and point metering ....only in case of landscape i find matrix metering useful...more focus points are needed in wildlife and car races...but then u need big lens to use it.
Now that most nikon canon and third party lenses have motor I find inbody motor also not too useful..it just add on weight
the most important thing I miss is wetherproof body, two dials .....except these my D3100 is no less ...I want better lenses like a nice sigma 10-20mm,nikon 35mm f1.8 and a nikon 300f4+1.4x tc

hmm its a difficult choice between the two
the sigma 18-250 OS HSM have both optical stabilisation and hypersonic motor for fast focus...where tamron 70-300 dont have both..
Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM review: Digital Photography Review
the review is good for sigma 18-250 OS HSM
soo if your friend is fine with a single lens superzoom solution then I think 1st choice is also fine ...remember superzoom lens are always compromises...there will be softness at max aperture and maybe after 200mm
2nd one have D5200 with better metering and better focus module...its futureproof ...but lens dont have VR soo may not be useful at low light conditions.
just check again and ask him what he wants.

Allllright !
I have a question. Is it possible to program focus? Consider the situation: While shooting a video you want to pull focus manually (say from infinity to object in front of you).
Is it possible to set the focal length of that object beforehand to make sure you don't overshoot or fall short that precise focal length to ensure image sharpness?

DSLRs (and possibly other cameras) have the focal plane marked on the body from which you can precisely measure the depth of focus. Therefore, yes, you can position an object to make sure it is in focus when the lens is moved to a particular focal length.
