Nikon D7200 Hands-On Field Test 

Nice! What would be a fair price know for the camera?

Don't wet yourself Boon Siang Tan.

Haha i will if the D7100 price is too good to be true!

***** Chill man. No need to resort in name calling. What matters is the person behind the gear. You have a good day

Hahahahaha..... Boon Siang Tan​ It is okay. I am the moron that shoot in Pentax with true colors.

Boon Siang Tan ,get the d7200 direct from Nikon the same price as the d7100

zeebazu I agree completely! This also happened with the Canon EOS 7D MK2. No flip screen and all the sales reps quote is the whole ruggedness speech. Our friend and repeat TCS video guest Mike Drew is a journalist who does horrible things to his cameras on a daily basis. He has long used the Canon 60D and 70D both with flip screens and yet they've survived after hundreds of thousands of frames. Both his cameras look like they've been left outside for years and used as wheel chocks to keep cars from rolling. I've personally in my twelve years at the store never seen a flip screen break because of the articulation even at the point and shoot level. We really appreciate you watching and supporting us.Chris @ TCS TV

TheCameraStoreTV What I am disappointed most with is still no aperture control in live mode and no on chip phase detect.

No point in waiting for the D7500. It's a step down from the D7200.

yes, please don't.

Agree With That.. :D

I was also imagining what kind of alternate universe I'd have to be in to be brave and agile enough to do that! haha :-)

Fuck that shitty 80-400 lens.

6:38 too !!

I agree with this, I'm looking to buy the D7200 upgrading from a D3300 and the changes are huge. Not every update can have substancial changes and improvements, especially if the older model was good, it seems to me like they fixed some of the D7100's issues and added the useful feature of Wi-Fi.

Go for 70D

Subhadeep Das tq so much

+Abu Khadijah or you can check out sony... a77 ii is quite good in that respect. from your picks, 70d is best for vid.

yeah I'm asking myself got a d3100 for like 5 years wanna upgrade what you people think 7200 ?

MnM Alex im in the same boat, I want a 7000 series for the autofocus motor

MnM Alex I have the D3100 for years as well, and I'm going for the 7200

Dnieze time passed and back in December I got my d7200 didn't regret anything perfect for one I need xD hope you will like it to.

+Pranav Mistry The first shot was on the Sony A7S with a Sigma 50mm F1.4. I'm partial to the D7200 for the better image quality, and better AF tracking. Jordan @ TCSTV

+TheCameraStoreTV Thanks for your prompt response. Your videos are very helpful and they look nice too :) Would you recommend d7200 to do the video job too? Also I wanted to know, assuming if I stretched my budget a bit more. 7d M2 & D750 fall under the same pricing bracket. What would be your pick out of these?

+Pranav Mistry Hi. Kindly reply as possible.. Thank you

The D750 is by far the best video quality of the three cameras, though the most expensive. I'd take the D7200 over the 7D II for video. Jordan @ TCSTV

+TheCameraStoreTV What microphone are you using? your voice is so crisp!

I agree, seamless integration and simplicity, which would include upgraded software on board, is the next frontier. The sensors have gone way beyond what even most professionals would ever need.

But to say that is a bit of a cop out - Nikon don't make sensors anymore and have basically made the same camera with useless improvements. They had lots of time to come up with a better buffer and... well that's it... You have to remember, Nikon had over a year to add a phone and a better buffer because Sony is now the heart of Nikon's image. They improved nothing and made a more expensive D7100... Im gonna have to wait for the 7300 or just wait for a Full frame Nikon camera that doesn't have quality control issues.

Pepingco I agree that Nikon has done little, if anything, to make the D7200 an enticing upgrade from the D7100. I wouldn't argue that point with you or Chris. My point is that the user interface upgrades Nikon has implemented with recent releases may reflect a strategy of trying to expand customer base. The real problem Nikon, Canon, Sony, etc. have been facing in recent years is a shrinking customer base. Most photographers are perfectly happy to use their smartphone as their primary camera. Image quality is good enough and, more important, user interface is vastly superior. Simply put, the smartphone is easier and more fun to use. Nikon appears to be betting that making their cameras easier and more fun to use will do more to attract new customers than a higher burst rate...or other improved specs. If that is their strategy, I would say the tepid improvements Nikon has made don't go nearly far enough. Touchscreen is critical and none of Nikon's prosumer or pro bodies offers this. Even more important, is the addition of on-board apps that seemlessly integrate the camera with workflow. Do you think a wedding photographer would like an app that automatically exports select images to the cloud where a wifi projector can download them for display during the reception dinner? This is the kind of functionality I believe Nikon should be focusing on. Modern cameras offer amazing image quality, high ISO performance, etc. What Nikon and Canon don't (yet) offer are user interface and functionality features allowing photographers to take full advantage of the digitally integrated world in which we live. Whoever gets there first will have a decided advantage over the other.

Bill Ferris I agree, but I own a Canon 6D so at weddings, all my photos stream right to my laptop... Everyone made fun of me for getting the 6D and what a waste wifi was. Those people bought D600 cameras... and we all know no one wants those cameras anymore. So the 6D won that battle. I do want to see those things like connectivity come up, but I don't see professionals use them anytime soon. You have to convince a professional to change part of their workflow. That being said, if new people pick up the new wifi/gps/nfc/wireless cameras it would be interesting, but I think the technology isn't fast enough and not kind on battery as of yet... What I highly do not agree with Nikon with these upgrades is that their RAW files for a 24MP sensor are still huge and hard to transfer wirelessly. Their wifi is still unreliable during heavy shooting (like a prom) and the battery life is atrocious when I used to use the wifi dongle for their D3XXX line. If Nikon wants to take their cameras this way, it better be reliable... Even Canon systems aren't reliable but the file transfer is better, file sizes in RAW are manageable, and the tether software is free. So I agree, cameras should go that way, but these companies need to fix problems that already exist in the camera lineup before they start putting in new tech that isn't great already. I will ventually go back to Nikon once the FPS, Buffer, ergonomics, touch screen and smaller RAW files are implemented. So Im crossing my fingers there. Thanks for the info and your views on this. Cool to read.

Pepingco thank you for sharing your views. I would imagine the real world issues you experience are similar those encountered by other photographers who, like you, use cameras for work on a daily basis. Let's hope the camera companies are listening and working hard to develop bodies that integrate better with today's workflow.

***** 4K means you can crop - the same logic that applies to large megapixel counts for stills. Downsampling from 4K to 2K will also give you better sharpness and a higher bit depth.

***** you should check out a video called "Why Does 4K Look Better on 1080p Monitors" on RU-vid.

***** These guys kick ur balls out for me.

+animeguyXL2 A few. The prices have come way down recently.

an extra frame means that you have an extra chance of capturing just that right moment.

Levi did a brilliant job shooting this episode! As far as my grade, the Sony A7S shoots SLog2, which I'm very familiar with after shooting the FS700 for two years. Our FS7 grades will keep improving as I come to grips with SLog 3. Jordan @ TCSTV

yeah its so annoying

I gave up on nikon a year ago and couldn't be happier! loving my panasonic and sony cameras!

I'm actually a new Nikon convert, after shooting Canon the past 8yrs. But I do mostly Photography so i could really care less, but damn aperture in LV would be a welcomed change

Paolo Cachola Nikon has never put aperture control in this level of camera. NEVER. You need to move up to a pro camera. It's just that simple.

J. Dennis Thomas Or they could just add such a stupid thing to implement and make everyone happy? Now THAT'S simple, not your suggestion. Not everyone needs pro bodies and what defines a pro body should be the quality and other stuff, not software limitations that are really easy to add. That's why most consumers, hobbyst and semi-pro's(heck, even pros!) are moving to Sony or other mirrorless systems: because they get the job done and have plenty of features, coming really cheap. I know they're a company and their purpose is to make money but seriously, a non-pro will never jump from this 1,000$ camera to a 2,000$ D810 just for the live view aperture control or some minor stuff like that...meanwhile, you can do that on a 500$ Sony and you have way more control over everything.
