Nikon offers two types of autofocus digital camera bodies: those with a built-in focus drive motor and those which require a lens to have a motor. Cameras such as the D5000 do not have a focus motor in it so they require the lens to have the focusing motor – an “AF-S” lens. While these bodies can use a lens with no focus motor (an “AF” lens) you would have to manually turn the focus ring to bring the subject in to sharp focus.

The AF VR Zoom-Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED is compatible with the D7000, however, since this is an FX lens and the D7000 has a DX sensor you will experience a 1.5X crop to the angle of view.
Check out Nikon's Lens Simulator at the below link for a visual represenation of an FX /DX crop. http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/lens/simulator/index.htm

The D5200 cannot autofocus with the AF VR Zoom-NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED lens because neither the D5200 nor the lens have an auto focus motor. The D5200 can only auto focus with AF-S lenses.
