Install Flash Player When looking to purchase a camera, my main concerns were low light capabilities, battery life, time-lapse capabilities, and cost. This camera exceeded all my expectations. - It handles higher ISO very well. Im very big on night photography. I usually will set the camera on 3200 - 6400 ISO and this has done an amazing job at keeping noise levels down and preserving detail. - There is a built in intervalometer for time-lapse. Some limitations are that you can have a max of 30 second exposures. However, that should cover 99% of your scenarios. - Battery life is phenomenal! When taking normal everyday photos, I have gotten 2000+ images on one charge. When doing long exposures, battery life is cut down to 1/3 as it takes battery to hold the shutter open. You can expect to get 5-6 hours of a 30 second exposure time lapse. - Image quality is fantastic, and the burst of 6 photos a second is more than I need. -Not having the deep pockets for a full frame camera, this was a great alternative. It easily competes with full-frame! -Have taken more than 30,000 images in the short time I have owned the camera and not a single problem. Work Horse. As an image can say much more than words, I will leave you with these samples.

I do a fair amount of photography. Took me a few years to decide what I liked best. Now I shoot Nikon cameras and Nikon lenses for the most part. I have one Tokina I wont part with. Cameras are individual taste, like pizza, or pistols, Fords or Chevys. Once you find a "fit" often you stay with it. I had a D7000 when it came out but the sensor spots drove me nuts. I knew one day Id replace it. Today I did that. I have a FX Nikon as well. I read about a zillion reviews of the D7200, looked at photos decent photographers took with it etc. for a long time. This camera was a known commodity for me before I bought it. Havent had much time with it .. the post office is run by idiots where I live and they got it here a day late then delivered to to one of my neighbors. I had to send out search and rescue to get it here. None the less I set it up and shot a little with it today. It is as expected. Its another great camera from Nikon. I put a Nikon grip on it, I like my cameras gripped for the ability to shoot without changing my hand position and I used winders back in the day. So the couple of frames I got today looked great, the color rendition is correct, the camera is accurate, fast, dead on focusing, had a myriad of adjustments for each user. Its what Ive come to expect from Nikon. I plan to shoot it plenty tomorrow with various lens and so on. Its going to be a great day. November 1, 2018; So Ive had this camera a few days. Its all I anticipated it would be. It works like silk and is the ideal companion for my D750. Sometimes when you want to "reach out and touch something" the crop factor and a 500 mm lens is the hot ticket. This D7200 fills the bill for me.

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 did a lot of research before deciding to purchase the D7200, so I knew exactly what I was getting. When it comes to cameras and lenses, I highly recommend that you do the same as well. Every photographers needs are different, and every camera is different. So, youll need to consider your budget, what you are shooting, what your future plans are, and your current lenses before making a choice. The D7200 is a highly capable DSLR and I cannot go into all its features here. What I will try to do is explain why I chose the D7200 over its newer siblings in Nikons DX lineup, and hopefully that will help make your choice clearer. The D7200 is perfect for my needs. I wanted a camera that offered me enough control so I could experiment in any way I wanted to. It needed to be reliable and rugged. It needed to be capable enough to let my creativity go wild. While not as rugged as the more professional Nikon DSLRs, the D7200 checked all the right boxes for me. I chose it over the D7500 because I really wanted the dual card slots. For me, the other improvements the D7500 offered could not justify the additional cost of the newer body. The other camera to consider is the D500 (if you are looking for DX cameras), but that was beyond my budget. The money I did not spend by going for one of the more expensive cameras, I spent on a better 70-300mm lens. I shoot still life, children and landscapes most of the time. The D7200 gives me everything I need for these scenarios. The sensor is sharp and the resolution amazing, and as I found out, can bring to light any deficiencies in your shooting methods. It really forces you to learn how to improve technique if you want super-sharp images. I find this a welcome challenge, but others may not. I paired the body with a Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras . For a medium zoom, after much agonizing, I finally went with the Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM FLD Large Aperture Standard Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital DSLR Camera . Lastly, I added the new Nikon AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR f/34-8 Fixed Zoom Digital Slr Camera Lens, Black for a tele zoom. The reason I spent the extra money for the FX version of this lens instead of the much cheaper DX version is because the FX version includes a hardware VR switch. In the DX version, VR can only be controlled from the body, and the D7200 does not offer that control so you can never turn the VR off. This may be an issue in situations where you do not need VR, so I spent the money saved on the body here, on the better lens. The D7200 is a great camera, and with the current discounts, I highly recommend getting a new body before they go out of stock. Unless you are a pro who needs the super-fast continuous shutter speed and tougher body of the D500, or someone who prefers a larger sensor FX camera, the D7200 will not in any way stop you from capturing the images you envision. However, if video is your primary focus, the newer bodies may be a better choice. I highly recommend Thom Hogans Complete Guide to the Nikon D7200 and Steve Perrys (of Back Country Gallery) Secrets to the Nikon Autofocus System (for any Nikon DSLR) to help you get the most out of the sophisticated tool that the D7200 is. These books are available directly from the authors sites.

It had been a long time since I had time for photography and I was not sure I really needed a DSLR when there are so many decent point and shoot systems out there. But I am really glad I took the chance on this camera. I had forgotten how much I loved photography and how good I actually was. This camera challenges me to make critical decisions about my photography and gives me the tools to execute on the decisions I make. I jumped right back in and am shooting almost entirely on manual mode and the quality of my shots is outstanding (most of the time ;-). I am trying to give the Program modes a shot at making some of the decisions for me - especially when I am not in a thinking mood, and just want to shoot like a P&S and they do a great job. Ill never make money off my photography but I have quickly become the defacto photographer for every family event and it is always with me on my hikes and travels and has all the settings I need to switch from street to landscape to portraiture depending on where I am at any given moment. I have a long way to go before I master all the intricacies but this system has reawakened a passion in me and makes me feel like a kid again, exploring a talent that I had let go completely dormant. If you can commit some time to practice and want the flexibility and power that a DSLR can give you, the D7200 is a great camera for prosumers and has a decent selection of DX lenses. It would be nice if Nikon would invest in super wide DX lenses the way they do for FX but off brand manufacturers are filling the space nicely. Unless you need massive enlargements I doubt you will ever miss the full format system.

Wow Bought this camera as a replacement for a D90 mainly for astrophotography work. No low pass filter allows the sensor to gather more of the spectrum. The ring nebula showed its multi-colored hues in a 30 second exposure, on the D90 it was monochromatic. Still has good electronics to allow use in the brightest of conditions. The image detail is fantastic. The only problem is going to be storage space as the files are double the size of the D90. Controls are familiar to anyone using a Nikon built in the last couple of decades being pretty much the same except for the Selection Dials (PSAM) on the left, there are two of them and they are stacked, both requiring a release to be actuated before thaey can be turned. A little tricky for arthritic fingers. Able to use all my D90 lenses so I didnt have to reinvest in another infrastructure to remain flexible in my shooting choices. The retailer was fantastic as always, dont get caught up in the super discount .sites that are trying to sell Grey Market as American Market (Warrantable) cameras.
