I believe you are correct. Reading the fine print it says there is limited functionality with my D5200, however when I did some research at the Nikon website a while back on their new AF-P lenses, I could only find something about needing to refocus if you held down for exposure or some such. Yes, the VR thing will definitely not be on the menu, so to speak.
I contacted Nikon support directly and they finally replied just now that since I had updated the firmware to 1.03 (which I did last year) the AF-P lenses would be compatible with my D5200 and there would be no limitations.
Now comes the tricky part, should I believe them? The answer is yes and I will order the lens when it becomes available.
