After I gave up my dream of becoming deejay and music producer I awoke one morning and decided to become a professional photographer. I ordered the Nikon7200 pro kit on Amazon. I opened it up and looked through all the crap it came with and immediately had a migraine. I put it in my closet and never bothered with it again until I ran across Tonys tutorials. They are amazing I mean AMAZING!! Ive taken like 30 pics and am happy!
Like Nike says, "Just Do It". It gets better and worse. Gotta have your head in it.
At $1,199, the Nikon D7200 is a winner. It has a rugged magnesium alloy body and all of the advanced video and extreme low light auto focus (AF) features of Nikon's D750 and D810 professional cameras. And the image quality is stunning. It will take sharper pictures than the competing Canon camera because its AA Filter is removed. The initial sample videos and stills are incredible.
Just got a killer deal on this one, so excited to take it out
Doing a lot of research on both these cameras 3 years later as I am looking at used models. I like your Channel a lot, but your bias tends to lean towards Canon. All respected reviews and comparisons have the D7200 as a better camera than the 7d m2. This has now been confirmed by those who have owned both. The D7200 produces better images in wider conditions. That's is the bottom line for a sports / wildlife camera.
At first I was sooooo disappointed that I had just purchased a D7100 and now the D7200 is out. But now, I'm not disappointment at all. With the VERY minor changes they made I know I'm not missing out on anything AMAZING. Though, I do like the bigger buffer even though it's a futile attempted at nipping at the heals of Canon's 7D MkII. Come on Nikon! You're better than this. You have to make Canon Fan Boys want to convert... but now their just chuckling under their breath. Oh and can we get a full Mag body? That's the only thing I wish my D7100 had.
Nikon has much better low light performance than most of Canons range. The D7100 is a great body. Has some very good low light performance. It's definitely not the best camera for sports mode, but in jpeg with crop mode enabled, it's very quick.
***** I agree. My D7100 has some pretty good low light performance however, I was just a little let down with the D7200. The minor changes are great but it still lags behind the 7D MkII. I guess I just expected Nikon give Canon a run for their money in the action shooting range.
Tom Rabel It's crazy how many new bodies Nikon is coming out with lately. I can hardly keep up with it all! I'm not sure how they can afford to keep designing new models all the time. I'm not complaining though, it's good for the consumer.
***** I know! I thought the release of the d750 was a little unnecessary. I feel the D810 is a perfect bridge from d610 to d4. Plus they had to recall all their d750s due to some flaring on the sensor. Like I said, they need to slow down and put more time and thought into their future releases. I think Nikon has a lead in image clarity with their sensors but they need something to rock the boat. I think a bad ass mirror-less system would turn some heads. A more pro oriented setup than the Sony A7.
Tom Rabel Well I'd count myself as an enthusiast, and I have to say I'm pretty pleased with Nikons selection. I have the D7100 and have honestly just been blown away with how good it is. I could always move up to entry level full frame if I really wanted to, but I'll stay with the cheaper DX system for now. I don't really feel like I'm limited by my camera right now. If anything, I need better glass.
I would never argue specs with Tony Northrup :)
You have mentioned at times that Color Sensitivity is something you just don't hear about. Well, whenever I photograph our models in-studio while painting their portrait (photos with Canon 6D and 70-200 f4 IS, Canon 70D and 70-200 f4 IS, Sony a6000 with 50mm f1.8 OSS and Olympus OMD EM5 with 75mm f1.8) I notice the color depth while doing post processing to be greater with my 6D over Sonya6000 over Canon 70D over Olympus OMD EM5. Not at all sure if my setting are doing this but the depth of color is very clear to see (Canon 6D images most useable for backup portrait photos to my artwork-and to use as images to do final paintings from). Just a thought because I often observe this.
Tony
I've been a Nikon user since the early days of the F3HP and I really didn't know where the industry was going when digital first came out. I bought my first digital Nikon, a D300S about 5 years ago. I wanted to upgrade from 12MP to at least a 24MP camera for the last little while and bought a 7200 yesterday. I haven't even taken it out of the box yet. I hope I made a good choice!?
Kevin
wifi on my D7200 works perfectly fine and very easy in 2019, maybe it was ahead of its time :)
Video is still messed up, it's skipping from time to time and I'm getting artifacts.
jowo what do u mean
haha the beeping about 12 mins in made me feel like I was popular :P
raftor01 why
What do you mean about extra sharpness with the D7200? They both have the same sensor size and MP, so how could it be sharper than the D7100?
I'd like to see you compare this (and the D5500) with the new Pentax K-S2. One reason people often give for not reviewing or discussing Pentax is that they have relatively low market share, but I think this may be due in part to the fact that Pentax cameras are often overlooked by reviewers.
First of all great video Toni! (as always;))
Thnx for doing a great work!
Here are my 3 best features of the new D7200
1. Bigger buffer
2. 51 points down til -3 EV (i assume that is the same as the D750 has)
3. And maybe the most important that many people forget is the new sensor from Sony (D7100 had one from Toshiba)
Maybe it is not revolutionary upgrade but for my definitely evolutionary because it fixes many "problems" that D7100 had...
However the biggest down side of the D7100 is the video capability... :/ :/ :/
( As you already mentioned in the video )
Thank you so much for your video, I have D300s, yes yes I know lol which century i am living in lol i used it so lil , i was dissapointed with its image quality and its gathering dust now. I was looking in to replacing it and didnt know what to get, D610 or D500 (which i dont have the budget for) but since i have DX lens , your review on D7200 made up my mind about it and now price dropped way down to $930 Au dollars...i can afford to get this camera, Thanks so much.
I got quite frustred because I couldn't find who was sending me messages. Still, nice review. You are very honest and straightforward which is a good thing.
Tony Northrup You mislead me to check all over my phone and computer around the 12 mins mark. Lol
Jim Huang Yeah, sorry, somehow it got into the video feed. I went back and edited most of the beeps out but clearly I missed a few.
Tony Northrup I have been looking all over my PC to find out whats beeping... shame on you Tony Northrup.
very annoying.
Jim Huang Hahaha! I was wondering what you were talking about, and then it got me too!
yeah, i hope you get your money back for tony's time... oh wait... :P
Thanks for clearing up the 1080p 60fps issue. Imo, it's not a mega big issue though because 60 fps isn't "that important" anyway imo. Anything in range of 23-25 is important to be real deal. Not too bad, considering how most of canon's don't have 1080p 60fps yet?
Apparently D7100 has been reported to have some banding issues, so hopefully the newer camera will address these.
Focusing motor is a big separating point between the D7200 and the D5500 (along with the ability to fine tune your lenses in-camera by yourself, instead of taking it to service and waiting 2 weeks). Apparently the Nikon's 50 1.8D is superior in comparison to Nikon 50 1.4 or 1.8, because it has significantly less distortion going on (software correction of distortion will not look the same as picture taken with a lens with "no distortion", especially if you have people's faces/heads at the edges of the corner .. like in a group shot or something). And that lens wouldn't AF on D3xxx or D5xxx bodies.
Regarding 4k, I've found it to be a big thing. A LX100 4k is roughly better than 1080 video shot with a D810 + Sigma 50 Art. It's that big deal difference.
I hope Nikon continue putting this camera out best camera ever
Still the best deal in a DX format DSLR if you can't afford the D500.
Great run down of the D7200. Do you think it is a genuine upgrade? When you compare the differences between the D7000-D7100, the D700-D750 and the D800-D810, this is lacking. Should it have been the D7100wifi?
should I upgrade from the D3300? I do almost solely wildlife photography. I have the sigma 150-600mm to go with it.
Tony Northrup Good video. My only feedback is about the ISO performance.. You will definitely not get the same quality by underexposing 2 stops and then fixing in post, versus exposing correctly in the camera.
What lens would you recommend for landscape photography / street photography with nikon D7200?
P.S: I already have a 50MM 1.8G Prime lens.
Thanks in advance.
get Nikon 35 mm f1.8g prime best for street and casual shoot
nikon 18 to 140 f 3.5-5.6 ed VR lens for street and landscape photography
remember this is a budget lens i may help you on more lens choice according to how much you willing to spend for day to day and casual shoot this lens are morethen enou
Maybe the reply is too late,... 35mm will be good for street & get a Tokina 11-16 for landscapes (wide angle). If you're happy with 50mm, no need to buy a 35mm. 50mm will be equivalent to 75mm as the body is APSC and 35mm will be around 52mm. If you're not interested in wide angle lenses, there is a Sigma 17-50 (effectively 25.5 to 75mm) f/2.8, it is much better than the 18-55 nikon kit lens. If you're getting the Sigma, skip the 35mm.
Hello Tony & Chelsea, I do have a question for you guys. I need to buy a Camera, but I am between Nikon D7200 & D7500 I am no crazy about 4K video I really want a machine to click nice photos. which one would you recommend me or which one will you buy? Thank you!
Hello Tony and Chelsea.
My question is... what's Manufacture Sensor does Nikon D7200 have, Toshiba or Sony?
Is there any difference between them?
As you mentioned that Nikon D7200 is best APS-C Sensor.
Longtime fan. Love the vids. Must say, watching again few years later giggling at your nonstop bashing the D7200 vs 7D, which was 50% more $$$. Should compare to D750 maybe... Seriously, I guess in the moment you were fantasizing about a Nikon up a bracket for sports photog but this was just perhaps the perfect Nikon for me, the enthusiast. All around, works with everything, fails at nothing. This would have been so much more fun without the Canon comments. Just a big mismatch.
Love those motorcycle shots... looks like a Norton.
Tony, as I would say on a Sunday morning, well done on this review...Because of your thoroughness and facts based productions, your videos exceed the casual tubers, who's main goal is to be the first to do a video on new camera gear. (You are going make me unsubscribe to the rest...) But back to D7200, as Nikon user (D7100), I would say the new release is a grand camera where image quality is concerned. This is purely from a still and casual event stand-point, not sports. You nailed the point respective to price (a used D7100 @700.00). If resources is not the concern, then I would say the D7200 is the best pro-entry crop for image quality, when video and sports is not the main consideration. For me, the logical upgrade is the D810 coming from a crop D7100...
Is this still a good camera to buy in 2017 or should i get the d5600 im interested mainly in photos than videos. But im no professional. Hope you can help me out.
Hi Tony. I think the D7200 has a different sensor, which hopefully does not have the banding problem in the shadows that Thom Hogan highlighted in his review of the D7100.
Gawd dammit Nikon, I just got the 7100 in January. If I knew this was coming out with a better buffer I would have waited as I'm looking to get in to more wildlife shots, I'll just have to be more patient and choose my moments wisely I guess...pffft! None the less, great video guys!!
Genxben Get good at eBay and you'll never sweat a new camera, you'll just math the eBay transaction fees and trade it up :)
Thank you so much for replying ☺️ I'm waiting for the new videos, I feel happy when I watch your videos 😄☺️
Tony have you ever looked at a Pentax K3? I would be curious as to your take on it. 8fps with a generous RAW buffer, weather sealed body that looks like you could pound nails with, no AA filter, internal stabilization and from what I understand the same or similar sensor that is in the D7100. The limited primes look really sweet too. That camera is going gripped for $800.
Mark Kasick No, unfortunately. We've been on this list for a loaner from Pentax for a full year now... we did finally buy a K-S2 for review, but we don't have the K3 yet.
What about the black and white pictures on highest ISO with D7200? No comments to that?
If i''m going to work with some of these cameras, which one would you recommend, the 7d mk II, or the d7200? (weddings, studio, events)
Bigger sensor than 7D Mark II? Must be very small difference between them, they are both APS-C, or?
how does it compare to the now old D300, More pixels sounds nice but is it really better.
I have a Nikon D7100 and I wouldnt be in no rush for the upgrade. If I were going to upgrade, it would be to Full Frame and I think most people who has the 7100 would agree. I still cant understand why Nikon dropped the shutter speed on the D750 to 1/4000 and yet in all the new camera's since that, they use 1/8000?
I agree. As much as I love Nikon it feels like they're just scrambling to put something out in order to keep up with competitors. Nothing they have put out in recent years has been ground breaking. Just patchy little tweaks to put some separation between the models. They need a hail marry pass, stop rushing to put out new "Fix" models that are mildly improved and give us a beast, we're patient enough to wait so take your time and think the next one through Nikon, Canon is already several steps ahead.
If D750 had 1/8000 it would probably be a too strong competitor to the professional cameras, and much cheaper. In that case many would buy D750 instead of for example D810 or the latest D850. But I agree that it is strange that D700 is professional but not D750. I think this is a strategical move from Nikon.
You can sort of "cheat" the 1/4000 shutter on the D750 by dropping the ISO to LO-1, which is ISO 50, which gives the same exposure as 1/8000 at ISO 100. Also, at ISO 50, I find there is even less noise in mid-tones, although only slightly, than ISO 100. I use ISO 50 (LO-1) frequently in bright sunlight and seldom run out of shutter speed (1/4000) with 2.8 lenses.
Tony can u please compare the nikon d7200 to the d7100 and d7000 in terms of noise performance I would like to see which is a good upgrade from the d3200. I am a night shooter and trying to decide which camera is the best for the stars. Thanks.
B H Photo has refurbished D7100's for $699 with full warranty and the reports I've heard say the cameras are just like brand new.
The D610 is also shipping with a nikon battery grip for free. To me, it might be a no brainer if you're looking to get into a Full Frame
I really wanted to be excited about the D7200. I am shooting a 5200 right now and am starting to look for an upgrade. I could go full frame, but I don't shoot enough low light to justify it and most of my shots go on the internet anyway. I would like to see the 7200 compared to a M43 body. With the crop to get 60p, and the GH4 going beyond that, I think it might be interesting to see how they handle 60p and the real difference pushing the GH4 to its max.
You should wait for the 7300 or whatever is next. I think you'll be happier if you upgrade later on. The D5200 is still a fairly new camera.
Just get a D7100. An excellent image quality camera with good iso performance. It is a pro level camera. Can be had new for $700-$750 on ebay. Also a great time to get the D7100 as the price will drop because of the D7200 and they will pretty much perform the same in terms of image quality.
Since D7200 has a focusing motor, would you mind advising what other type of models of lens can be used to match with this DX format camera. Thanks.
Hey Tony what camera will work better for portraits the D7200 or the D610?
I don't understand the purpose of that Auto / Manual Focus switch on the body when that is a setting on the lens.
Hey Tony thanks for ur valuable review.. Which is the best lense for nikon 7200. I mostly work in weddings
What camera is better at photos the canon 80d or the nikon d7200?
and what about noisy images with ISOs around 400-800. Very disappointed about this. I'm using my kit lens 18-140 and repeatedly have issues with noisy images. I shoot birthday parties and used to get better image quality with my old Canon 550d :( should i get another lens? should i get another camera? what camera is a good swap for producing images without noise at these ISO's?
Shining Leaf I’m not a professional but out of all the answers I’ve received on amazon and in person you shouldn’t use a kit lens because they don’t provide the best quality photo so it could just be the lens itself causing that go to your photography store nearby you and talk to them about lenses if your not on a budget I suggest the Nikon f/2.8g 50mm for portraits and everyday use but if you want to shoot macro or wildlife the f/2.8g 70-200mm you will notice these lenses cost a lot more but your paying for the quality in which they are made so the outside material and inside so the glass and technology is the best you can get for the best image quality but before you buy it see if you can rent a lens I’m not sure if you can do that but if you can do that first to see if it improves your shots
After almost a year I just wondering what are your thoughts on d7200,since this video is just a preview last year before the dslr release,i notice you're more of a canon user than nikon though
jethro_my idk man
Good video. I had a 7100 and sold it because of the small buffer. I probably won't buy the 7200 only because I have D810, D610 and a DF.
The D7200 is the best camera ever that's my opinion because I own one and I will not go to something different and I have taken great pictures with it and I only use Aperture priority mode and sometimes in manual mode in manual mode is fun using that mode you get the image you want
I just brought the D7200 and I love it ,one question which setting for my Windows 7 jped rwa or jped normal
Hi Tony, How about checking out the Pentax K3? You never mention Pentax, 8.3Fps,
24Frame buffer RAW, 27 point AF
I learned to shoot on a Pentax ME Super back in the late 70's. It still works great btw. I think Pentax is a really good camera personally. However, I found myself going with Nikon this time. I think Pentax could do a better job of marketing. They are awesome camera's though so knock yourself out ... I think you made a good choice
you'd be surprised the D5500 is not that hard to access menu settings because almost everything you need to change can be accessed directly on the back of the camera on screen. It will not allow you to change things without removing the camera from your eye to look at that screen. The D7200 can be configured to allow all changes to be made while shooting without taking down your eye from the viewfinder.
The specs sound just short of a Pentax K-3. Should be a nice upgrade for lower end Nikon owners and a smaller up grade from the 7100. Kind of pricey though at that suggested price, but probably will drop after release.
I bought a Canon D6 few years ago awesome camera , gave it to my daughter and then I went out and bought at Nikon D 7200, fit it with a 40mm lens doe's awesome close ups , but why doesn't Nikon come out with a full frame sensor that's equivalent of a 35 mm? The Canon D6 was a quip with 24 - 104 mm lens when I bought it
Tony Northrup Love the videos, huge fan and have your books!!. Can't wait for your review of this camera. Right now I am between the K3 ,this one or the D5500, hope to see reviews of the K3 and 7200! Keep up the great work!
hi. how about D7200 VS D5600 ? image quality and focus system ?
Great video. first really in depth video function analysis I've seen on the d7200. I wanted to ask because im a journalist and photographer, and want something that has the best of both worlds. I'm stuck between Nikon D5600 and D7200. Which one should I go for? is the video capability on the d7200 not that much of a jump from the D5600? I know it's better for photography, atleast. Overall, for someone who wants the best of video and photo out of those 2, which one would you pick? I'm planning to purchase soon so hope you see it before then!
Hi
I am a video and photography lover and my wish to buy my dslr and iam preferring to a full frame nikon d850 did it accurate for me!
waiting for your fast reply
I'm looking to upgrade to the D7200 but can't get over how faster the 7DMK2 is. Most of my shooting will me family, kids and their events and the occasional trips. Would you recommend the 7DMK2 or D7200?
J Dez Unless you're shooting sports or action, I'd probably steer you towards a D5500 or even a mirrorless camera like an a7 II. We have reviews of those cameras, and the 7D2/D7200, so check them out.
Dear Tony. Thank you for your videos,always enjoy to learn and all your reviews. A question please humor me. I'm a hobbies. I shoot people , events some macro. Currently using a a6000 but been disappointed a bit. I'm pondering on a 1200$ budget a used D700 full frame or a new D7200. Would you still consider a D700 a contender or would prefer the newer but crop d7200? Thank you in advance.
Well I'm not Tony BUT, I would honestly recommend the Nikon d7200, there have been many recalls on the d700 and it's quite dated at this point, personally as a d7200 owner, it is an amazing camera, and in my opinion it's the all around best crop sensor camera, the sharpness is brilliant and you can always put some FX lenses on it (which I would recommend) and the crop sensor isn't that bad, it really isn't, everyone says "oh don't get the crop sensor! Don't do it!" But it's FINE. And in conclusion, it all comes down to experience and skill, I shot may years on a T5 rebel and still produced pictures like some professionals with the D3 or the D4. (One last point, if you go with the cheaper d7200 you can spend more on good glass, because THAT is what truly matters) hope this helped!
-Benjamin
Great video as usual. About DX bodies, which are the best DX lenses (with the lowest F possible) now available ranging from 14mm to 600mm (possibly without a fixed focal length)? I find myself shooting theater shows back stages (low light and tight space) to football, soccer and motorsports. Thank Tony. Keep up your mission. You are great.
Nikon Canada has an impressive UA-cam demo of the D7200 shooting video. Search "Introducing the Nikon D7200 HD-SLR". But I do not particularly care for 4K video in my camera.
hi nice review ty.
I have one question:
the nikon d7100 has not sensor pass filter and bcose of that pictures are much nicer. does the d7200 has sensor pass filter or not?
ty
Carlos Umana The D7200 does not have an AA filter.
As an idea of why Nikon would lower technical abilities, think of their lineup of cameras and lenses. As a business, if cameras are too close to each other in features, a few small differences would gear a person to the cheaper option. Since they had a camera that can do 10 frames a second in the higher end model, the technology was available to them, but they want people to choose the more expensive option if that is a sticking point. If you have invested in Nikon lenses, you are more willing to buy another Nikon as you might have to change a whole set of lenses with canon or buy an adapter that degrades the image a little. Also, Nikon being a Japanese company they tend to make small improvements rather than make massive changes with a lot of bugs to work out.
Which one is better for both videography and photography?, canon 70d or d7200?
Umut Sezer Koç The 70D.
Good little camera but im still liking my D300 a bit more. and its less capable (featurewise)
Can you please compare Nikon d7200 and canon 80d and make a video of it?
I still feel that there's an empty spot at the top of Nikon's DX lineup. When the D7000 came up, it was something like an attempt to replace both the D90 and the D300s and I while it is a step up from the D90, it is still a step down from the D300s. So if a D400 (or a D9300 as some "rumours" suggest) did exist today, it could have been comparable to the 7D II just as the D300 is comparable to the 7D.
New to your channel and loving the information and tips!I just bought a Nikon D7200 with a AF-S DX 85mm f/3.5 VR. Along with a R1 wireless twin flash. What suggestions could you offer for macro photos when taking them INSIDE THE MOUTH?
HI TONY LOOKING FOR MY FIRST DSL HEARD THE NEW 7300 IS COMMING I WILL DO CONCERTS AND SPORTS IS THIS WORTH WAITING FOR....THX JOE
I´d be great to have a display that you can pop out and flip, BUT with the NFC capability you can have your camera in the weirdest positions and still remote controll the shutter via your phone with a LiveView. I know thats not as accurate, but it´s something.
This video seems to have some issues with encoding and audio.
how does this compare to the sony a77ii
you mentioned in the video that because of the built in focusing motor on the D7200 you would be able to use the AF lenses rather than the AF-S. my question with that is would the AF-S be able to focus faster than the AF or would the be about the same?
Thanks :)
dan stephenson I haven't done a test, but in my experience the AF speed is about the same. The older AF lenses are much louder than the newer AF-S lenses, though.
Ok, thanks for the info!
By May I will b getting the Canon 7D MKII (with Canon 400mm f5.6 or 100-400 f5.6 II) or Nikon D7200/D7100 with Tamron 150-600 VC. Strictly for sports and wildlife. Look forward to your full review.
I was also thinking about getting the D7200 with a 150-600mm. Tamron is great, but I think I´ll save my money for the Sigma 150-600mm S (or C).
Expanded question. It seems clear the Canon 400mm f5.6 and 100-400 IS II give better image quality than the Tamron 150-600 VC but do the Nikon Cameras (e.g. D7100/7200 or D750) make up for the difference between the Canon lenses on Canon and the Tamron on Canon (in particular with he D750 since the Tamron 150-600 VC was primarily designed for FF).
Tuff question. I don´t know. I hand this questions to the pros :D
Thanks for the review Tony, I'm thinking of moving from Pentax due to their 150-450 about to come out being a bit over $3000 here in Australia. It was the only lens that would appeal to me because I own a 150-500 and and I hate shooting at f8 and the autofocus is terrible. For the same price of that lens I can move and get a lens of similar or better quality. For birds would you recommend the 7d mkii with 400mm f5.6 prime and extension tube for the close small birds (the pardalotes where I live let you within 2 metres of them sometimes when nesting) or the Nikon d7100/7200 300mm f4 with 1.4 tc. Both are meant to have excellent autofocus but I'm just not sure about canons noise performance and shadow detail compared to the Nikon.
Hey Tony, Big Fan of both of You......i Have a question to ask....want to buy a new DSLR,,,confused bout mirror less and DSLR...........i have jot down some model...plz can u advice...NIKON D7200,Sony A6000, Canon 70D....SERIOUS PHOTOGRAPHY enthusiast...thx in advance
Could we please put a hold on new camera's for about two years? I am a newby looking to buy my first camera. I had pretty well decided on the 70D but now this pops up so now I've got to decide all over.
Help me please. Would this be a good first camera? I want to photo wildlife, birds and some woodworking projects in progress.
You can't go wrong with the 70D, it's going to be actual for quite some time still.
i´m a Nikon user, but if you don´t want to get the high end full frame bodys, stick to the 70D and get the better Canon glass.
Hey people It's not the camera that takes good pictures it's the person behind the camera that takes beautiful pictures you control the camera like the ISO the F/stop the shutter speed the white balance and the exposure compensation even in auto modes you control the camera the camera does not control you it's only a box with a hunk of glass on the front of it well it has insides
d7200 or 70d!? which one would you recommend for an overall better camera?
Shadman Sharar the 70d.
Tony Northrup thank you very much! just made the right decision thanks to you!
P.S: im a follower of yours from Bangladesh! your videos helped me a lot!! keep up the good work,CHEERS :)
Has Tony been sending people to camps?
The 7D MK II is still being handled by the now outdated of the D300s. Nikon still has to come out with a replacement and they have not yet. The D7200 is suppose to play here but honestly it's not made the same way it's not a professional camera.
Seems like unless you shoot RAW and 6fps a refubished D7100 is a no brainer. I've seen it at $699 for a Nikon refurb. You could almost buy an SB910 flash or some glass with the leftover coins.
Mark Kasick Yeah, agreed, the D7200 is for raw shooters only.
So this camera got Wi-Fi (who cares, I don't anyway), NFC ditto. The bigger buffer is nice and the D750 AF system is great too. Not much an upgrade beside the D750 AF system and larger buffer.
Want video, go Canon!
Want video? Go Panasonic.
Hello Tony & all, I was hoping you could recommend a camera for me. Im planning on shooting mainly wildlife, landscape, macro, and some indoor/night photography. I'll also be taking the camera on vacations , trips and shooting family and friends. Video is not as important to me since I have a GoPro for that, but I would certainly like to be able to shoot with these cameras as well. I can't decide between the d7200, 7d mark ii, and sony a7 ii. Which of the three would you recommend for what Im planning on shooting? If there is a better alternative than the three I listed above please let me know. Keep up the reviews I really enjoy watching them!
+Gally Zhou This can help you: ua-cam.com/video/B9tRpvCUKHA/v-deo.html
The 7D Mark II is much faster, which makes it better for wildlife. But the D7200 is going to be slightly better for landscapes and night photography. The a7 II will NOT work for wildlife, but it's the best for the other types of photography.
You might also consider going full-frame DSLR. A Canon 6D or Nikon D610 will offer MUCH better image quality for everything except wildlife, and they're about the same price. If wildlife is a big part of what you're shooting, you'll be happiest with the 7D Mark II.
We have reviews for all those cameras on our channel. Enjoy!
+Tony Northrup love your books and videos. This video seems to show you underwhelmed by the D7200. Viewing your technical review vs the tutorial, it feels like the camera itself changed your mind compared to the pre-release specs used in this video.
What do you cite as the major themes that changed your opinion?
Camera clicks,I hear the shutter, No picture?
Tony, You are misunderstanding the usefulness of NFC. I don't know abut this camera, but on sony cameras like a77, when you look at a picture that you already taken and move the NFC capable phone to the NFC spot on the camera, they automatically connect and the camera sends the photo to the phone, no confirmation is needed. This makes it really easy to find a picture and send it to the phone, then just share. It's really fast. I can't imagine it to be better right now.
compare it to the a77 mark 2 and 7d mark 2
Why does Nikon launch half baked or low quality products in the first place and keep constantly needing to upgrade them so quickly. It kills the resale value. At the time of this review, their offerings are pretty solid. The D750 might be a D760 and this D7200 might be a D7250 with 1080p/60 in a few months
the biggest disadvantage in my D7200 that it doesn't have power aperature , you can't change aperature while video recording or live view , otherwise it's great camera
I own a Nikon D7200 DSLR and a Nikon Z5 and no matter what lens i use for portraits ,my nikon D7200 has an amazing depht of field! I don`t understand why photos always has a 3D finish looking with the D7200 and the newest Z 5 don`t ...Can someone tell me why?
+Tony Northrup once again I would really like to know your opinion on how the pentax k3 compares to the 7dmkII and d7200 :) it's a bit sad that everyone forgets pentax which in my opinion keeps up and even surpasses those 2 cameras in some aspects. I'll keep waiting :)
Nice work as always keep it going!
Cheers
+Mario Cunha We definitely haven't forgotten Pentax; we regularly ask them for loaner equipment for reviews but they really haven't given us the time of day... and it's quite expensive for us to invest in not just the body, but enough lenses and flashes to really get a feel for the whole system. Well, if we ever get to the top of the Pentax loaner list, we'll do a review!
+Tony Northrup I own the Pentax k-50 and it is really amazing. It is built in auto focusing system so every lens works with it, it has two knobs the control both aperture and shutter at the same time, and it is a lot cheaper than competitors. It is a round 500 for kit. It does 6 fps and has expandable to 51200 iso and I think you should really do a review on it. It is an amzing camera you should compare. Thanks.
Tony, this was a great video. except for the facebook blings that kept happening. Seriously? You couldn't mute it?
Scott Wetzler We couldn't hear it--it snuck in after the mixing board.
I figured as much, lol. It had me looking at all my windows trying to figure out which one had facebook up.... lol
Thanks, but to know the specs I can go to google, did not touch the camera even once, you have not shown any photo taken with this camera.
Matias Garvio really? he didn't show any pictures taken with a camera that hadn't been released yet? gold star for you
It kind of sucks that the D7200 got a higher buffer than the D750 and 1/8000s while the D750 was their camera of the year. Plus it has no AA-filter. I mean... man... I'd love the D7200 especially for wildlife (which is what I mostly do). If it was not for full frame I'd recommend the D7200 over the D750. The only thing missing on my wifes D7100 is the "My menu" but other than that it's only the sensor size. Please tell me I'm very wrong and missing something dealbreaking! Tony, help me!
Edit: Can you compare it to the D750. It's fullframe, yes, but feature wise I think it beats the D750.
I think I'd prefer the D7200 for wildlife, especially with that crop factor to get closer to the subject.
My D7100 has "My Menu" just like my D750. I love my D7100, but I find I prefer the D750 over the D7100 for everything but wildlife (because of the crop factor). The D750's Image quality is excellent, and low light performance is amazing, as it can focus in light so dim I can't really see what it focused on, and it's ability to automatically find and focus on the subject's nearest eye is extremely useful.
Is D7200 worth buying in 2018?
yes definitely, if your budget is around 60k, i can suggest best DSLR according to what purpose of your photography?
My opinion yes. to me it's the best camera ever made and go for it
