I was looking to upgrade from my D3300. I though about the D7500 but opted for the D7200 as it was less expensive. Now I am really glad that I chose it over its replacement. The D7200 is a better camera than the D7500 that was meant to replace it. I use it for professional real estate photography and it has performed spectacularly.

This camera is a powerhouse with a price point suitable for anyone and features usable by everyone. I use the D7200 for everything from personal family photos to professional photo shoots and events. This cameras has everything I need to get the job done and produces crisp, clear photos. The build quality is superb. It is on the heavy side, but not so heavy that it cannot be carried around all day or held steady for great shots. All the buttons, dials, and switches are tight and provide just the right amount of resistance to give the feedback needed to ensure you know when you have pressed the button or flipped the switch. Switches are tight enough that they do not flip on their own, but not so tight as to make it difficult to flip them in an instant. The menu is very straightforward and user focused. There is a user menu that allows to to customize many very specific aspects of the camera and a custom menu that allows you to favorite menu settings. By setting favorites, you can quickly access those settings at any time. Most of the user buttons can be reprogrammed to perform different functions, though the options are limited per button. However, this is a very nice feature to allow you to set certain button to do what you need them to do and have quick access to those functions. One of the best features of this camera that Nkon has removed from the newer model is the dual SD card. Having a Dual DS card allows you to have overflow, which is nice for many reasons, but more importantly, dual SD cards allows you to save duplicates of your photos. This means that if one of your SD cards happens to fail, you still have a second SD card with backups of your pictures. I use the backup feature for the very important shoots I do, such as weddings, as I dont ever want to have to tell a new married client that I lost their photos due to hardware failure. Overall, this camera is one of the best crop frame DSLR cameras Nikon makes and I would and do recommend it for everyone.

If you want a simple camera, or a point and shoot camera, then consider the Nikon D3400 instead. The D3400 is cheaper and has the same number of MP. If you want a camera that gives you creative control over your photos and gives you a huge number of amazing features at a still affordable price, then you should seriously consider this camera. Plus - it can be used in point and shoot mode as you get used to and slowly take control. I have been shooting as a serious amateur since 1982. Im picky about detail. I used to shoot AGFA Ortho film at ASA 25 to obtain minimal grain in 20" by 30" B&W prints. This camera satisfies that desire at much faster ISO ratings. The metering has been excellent, and by saving images in large raw format I can use raw editors to pull details out of highlights and shadows better than I could get spending hours in the darkroom dodging and burning and using gradient masks. AMAZING. The camera is a little daunting. It has buttons and knobs and two screens. You can reprogram most of the buttons and knobs. The number of combinations is mind boggling... To help with that there are two User modes U1 and U2 that stores your settings, so you can shift between two commonly used modes very quickly. This camera can do time lapse photography, in-camera HDR, or to take bracketed shots to do post processing HDR. This model is very popular, and there are a lot of tutorials on the D7200 on YouTube. U Penn Commedia gives some very good introductory tutorials. One reason I bought the 7200 instead of the 7500 was compatability with all of my older AI and AF lenses. I have a lot of money sunk into old glass and I didnt want to let it go to waste. While it is possible to use AI lenses on a D3400 it cant meter them properly. The D7200 does do the metering properly in M and A modes (and U1 and U2 if they are set properly). It also has a motor in the body so it can use the old AF lenses. I have a couple of small complaints. The Pv button can be hard to get to with a large diameter VR zoom attached to the body. I wish the WiFi was easier to set up. But neither of those are serious issues. The only thing this camera lacks is a little door which dispenses coffee when Im out shooting landscapes.

This is my second Nikon D7200. No problem with the first one. Im still using it but Id rather have 2, one for a very heavy large lens, than to have to change lenses outdoors. I handhold for everything. The D7200 is far superior to the D7100 which has a banding problem. There was no learning curve going from the D7100 to the D7200. I only use my D7200 for photos taken outdoors (birds, critters and insects, farms, flowers and people in action, primarily) so I cannot comment on indoor performance or video performance. Outdoor action shots look good, too. I prefer going out on partly cloudy or mostly cloudy days and am very happy with image quality in those conditions. I both print oversized photos at home and display them digitally and they look great. I have won salon awards for photos taken with the D7200. I use Nikon lenses. The battery and battery charger for this camera is the same as the one for the D7000 and D7100 which is a big plus. I can tell you, however, that I am unhappy with the way this camera was shipped by Amazon. If I order something as expensive as a camera, I expect it to be delivered to my door and for me to have to sign for it. I live in an apartment complex. It came via USPS and they left it at the rental office in my apartment complex with no attempt to deliver to my door. Although they sign for it, they do not know whats in the package and I can only imagine how USPS and the office might handle it. I would like an option to elect that the package be signed for BY THE CUSTOMER and delivered by UPS or FedEx even if that option costs more. I did not include the way it was shipped when I gave this camera 5 stars.

I ordered my D7200 directly from Nikon, and it arrived earlier this week. My prior camera is the Nikon D300, and the D7200 is the first DX successor to the D300 that I felt was worthwhile, so I pulled the trigger and ordered it with the 18-140mm kit lens (which is surprisingly good). Id previously played with the D7000 (not enough of an upgrade), D750 (passed on it due to the 1/4000 max shutter speed) and D810 (couldnt justify $3000 for what is a hobby for me). I have primarily taken action photography with the D300 - bicycle racing of various forms - and would use 6fps, 12-bit RAW at times, or JPEG at other times when I was feeling lazy. One of the things I didnt like about the D300 was its high noise levels at anything above ISO 800, so good high ISO performance is important to me. The D7200s high ISO performance is light years ahead of it - see the attached picture that was taken at 1/20 sec, ISO 12800, handheld with the kit lens at 116mm. Theres just no way I could do that with a D300. The 2nd picture is taken at ISO 1600. Again, far, far better than the D300. My impressions are still preliminary - Im still getting used to the very different modes on the D7200 when compared to the D300 (scene, full auto, effects, different AF modes that the D300 didnt have, and so on), but thus far Im really impressed with the upgrade. The auto mode produces reliably good photographs in a point-and-shoot style, the scene modes are actually useful, and AF performance is significantly better in every aspect when compared to the D300. Low light focus is, subjectively, better - I havent done a direct comparison, but it feels better. Regarding buffer depth - yes, its better than the D300, and while I havent yet shot action with it, Im pretty sure it will work just fine. If you use a fast SD card, you can achieve somewhere around 14 shots at 5fps (no, thats not a typo) before it slows down when you are shooting 14-bit RAW. Using 12-bit RAW you can get somewhere around 20-25 shots at 6fps. To the person that said that its a tinker toy: theres no way youve actually held it; the build quality is as good, if not better than, the D300. Both have magnesium bodies. The grip is virtually the same size as the D300 - the single biggest thing I noticed is the relative difference in location of the shutter release, and that took all of 5 minutes to adjust to.
