#NIKON FULL FRAME DSLR UPDATE#

When capturing just JPEGs we saw as many as 65 images before the buffering affected shooting speeds.

So while the D7100 could only squeeze off an average of six RAW (Lossless 14-bit) shots before choking, the new D7200 is capable of at least 18. The D7200 has the same six frames per second (fps) shooting rate as the D7100, but it benefits from a much larger frame buffer.

But there's a catch-everything above ISO 25,600 can only be used to take black-and-white photos. So while the D7100 had a base ISO range of just 100–6400 (expandable to ISO 25,600), the D7200 now has a range of 100–25,600 (expandable to ISO 102,400). The new processor influences everything from sensitivity to power consumption. Since everything else is so similar, this new processor is responsible for most of the performance gains in the D7200.

To be clear, the Expeed 4 processor in the D7200 has been made specifically for the new camera and while it isn't the one from the D4S, it's still a big upgrade. The Expeed 4 is the same class of processor that powers the pro-grade Nikon D4S. That said, the D7200 has received a new weapon: the Expeed 4 processor. The D7100 and the D7200 are identical in most ways, and that goes for performance as well. While Nikon might not have the most intuitive camera for beginners, after you take a little time to learn the ropes, you'll be able to pick up any Nikon and start capturing images right away. In the end, Nikon seems to have nailed down its control scheme and that's why we don't see a lot of changes from camera to camera. Additionally there are two programable buttons on the front of the camera (to the right of the lens) that you can set to perform pretty much whatever you want. There are two dials on the top left that control shooting mode and drive mode by simply holding the release and spinning the wheel.

The mode dial and drive mode dial are stacked on the top left of the camera.

Overall it's not as drastic of an update as last year's Canon's 7D Mark II, but Nikon is known for its consistency in design–allowing users to upgrade to new cameras without missing a beat. It has the same buttons, dials, layout, grip, height, weight, infrared sensors. But with a slew of speedy mirrorless cameras looking to get in on the action, is the D7200 worth the money? Design & Handling Ctrl + C, Ctrl + Vĭesign-wise, the D7200 is almost an exact copy of its predecessor, the Nikon D7100. With fast autofocus, solid video, and a smaller sensor-providing 50% more reach than what you get on full-frame-the D7200 is perhaps Nikon's best DSLR for sports and action photography this side of the D4S. It's a tough question, but the D7200-like last year's excellent Canon 7D Mark II-makes a compelling case for buying a high-end APS-C camera. Even with the speed advantage, why would you pay this much for an APS-C DSLR when full-frame is so close in price? On the one hand, you've got the Nikon D610, a great all-around shooter with a respectable full-frame sensor on the other, you've got the new Nikon D7200 (MSRP $1,199.95), which is slightly cheaper, slightly smaller, slightly faster, but packs the much smaller APS-C sensor.
