Why The Nikon D7200 is Still a Great Camera 

It is not just still great camera It is a camera wich will be greate for next 10 years as well

I am a full time professional photographer. This is my primary camera. I love it, and there is nothing on the market that will beat it's price / performance. It was the most underrated camera that Nikon ever made. I spend my money on quality lenses, and no one has been able to tell that I wasn't using a full frame camera.

Just my 2 cents. Im a pro photographer, i shoot real estate, food, and do buisiness branding. The d7200 is my choice of cam. I could not justify the expense of full frame nor d7500 or d500. I use the nikon 10-20, 35, and fx 50mm. Amazing camera.

Couldn't agree more,I own 4 Nikon cameras including mirrorless,I still keep coming back to the D7200,great camera,great build quality.

I also have D7200, and I am satisfied with its performance.

I sold my d7200 the day you put this video out. I upgraded to a Z6 cause I really needed the extra low light capability, but I would still 100% recommend this camera to anyone looking to get into photography who's willing to spend a little more on their beginner kit. Hell, I might buy another one myself one day as a backup!

I just got my D7200 a couple months ago - still one of the best APS-C cameras IMO, perfect for enthusiasts. with my Sigma 17-50 I hardly ever find myself wishing I had something else, just a perfect combination!

Man , just let me say... what amazing video i mean ... the visuals with the music and narrative talking ... so artistic , not so much technical view point but great way to express about this camera . And just one more thing i am a owner of Nikon D7500 most because of new video features ... but for the most of photography tasks the D7200 are enough for most of people for hobby or free-lancer works still a beast of camera with so much in the pack for the price !!!! Keep the good work here ... i will follow you ;D Cheers from Japan !!

Thank you for sharing this. I have this camera and love it for all the reasons you mentioned.

I love it. My best photograph purchase, no doubt.

I dunno why but this video was great. Very kinda emotional and inspiring and just a great video. I mean good job man, like I watch this video every night before going to bed because it makes me feel better. Keep up this good work, greetings from Italy.

I just got a great deal on a used D7200 with less than 800 clicks and the 18-200mm lens. $575. Mirrorless cameras have sacrificed everything on the alter of small. I have big hands too and the ergonomics of mirrorless cameras SUCK! The D7200 is very future proof. It will always take amazing photos. It is built like a tank. All magnesium weather resistant sealed body. There is a ton of high quality used lenses available going all the way back to the 70's that work on it. Dynamic range is amazing as is overall image quality. It more than holds it's own with cameras like the Fuji X-T2 and leaves the Canon "equivalents" in the dust. If photography is your passion or profession you cannot go wrong with the D7200.

Thank you so much for making this very useful, simply explained & straightforward video.!!! I appreciate you lot for this video.

I bought one while I was a guide for a Jeep company outside of Denali NP Alaska. It’s a great camera and easy to learn the basics. It’ll last a long time and I’ve taken photos of northerns lights and animals. Great camera!

That's really great shots on video! I like it! Keep working, man!

Two years in the future, I just upgraded my D7000 too this :-)

Thank you for the video. This was just what I needed for me to buy a new DSLR, especially after using a Bridge Camera for 4 years.

even in 2021...it is the greatest... ;)

Best video of nikon d7200 ever i have seen i have watch this more than twice so good i wish he make more extended of this video

I have the D7200 also and it is a great camera. Need to replace my eye cup but yet to find a better option than originally so some suggestion would be great. Great video and photos shown here. Good job

Coming from a D3200 to D7200 the performance upgrade is huge. In 2019, I purchased this from a grey market seller and very happy with it. I'm not paying £1800 + £1000 for camera/lens combo on Sony.

i bought this camera i love it because it has very good quality in 2022 and spectacular body .it camera has good detail images .

Great video! I own both the D 7100 and the d7500. I know a lot of people bash the 7500, but TBH, it's a great camera.. the low light and FPS alone makes me pull this out of my bag most of the time. My 7100 always gets love though... Lol.

I have had itt for two years now and I just love it. I take it with me for hiking and macro trips, but it's also my second body for weddings.

The 35 f1.8 dx is really good, sharp, good contrast and reasonable price.

You are spot on..I have a D7100 and totally satisfied..very similar to the D7200 except for the smaller buffer on the 7100, which I don't really need..btw..also have the 35mm 1.8...the value on that lens is extraordinary..great job !..new sub

D7200 its my main and only camera and im loving it!!

I got one this year and let me just tell you, I love it! My only complaint is the lack of auto focus for videos but it’s mostly meant for photos so I don’t mind

I have this AND a D850 and the 7200 is my go to. So easy to use and magnificent quality pics.

I love the iconic D90 which still gets people talking. Today it is the D7200 which imho will be around for quite some time to come. 🙏👍

you spoke from your heart. Thanks for this wonderful video. btw.. i am a nikon d7200 owner too. and am proud of it.

Nice review! I have a D5600 which I'm very happy with, i'm thinking of a second body to use with my collection of Dx lenses. The D7200 has taken my interest.

Thank you for your review. Your video is amazing high quality and beautifully composed. I just pick one up for under 600 USD. As a enthusiast I'm Loving it!

hey man, greetings from germany. I really like your videos. Your starting with a very lot of pontential. Im impressed by your video production Quality. Keep goin. and your photos are awesome as well :D

It's 2022 now and the D7200 is still a great choice. It's insane to me that I was able to buy a pro-level camera for under $500 with only 25k on the shutter and really good condition. Why would anyone buy a new entry level DSLR or Mirrorless camera when the D7200 still exists? It's a classic at this point but still feels very modern.

I love my d7200 and I'm thinking about buying a second one soon.

Indeed one of the best camera in apsc line up. Was a canon shooter for 6 years plus with 500d,10 22 ,24 105..faced sensor problem ...shifted to Nikon d7200 (my friend was using d7100) with 50mm 1.8G ...loved the combo a lot..I needed a zoom .hence let go the nifty fifty and got myself Sigma 17 50mm f2.8....great combo on crop line up which is at par with any cameras out there...📸❤️

Love both of mine. Does a great job.

It's essentially a 56 megapixel camera if it were a full frame. Amazing for reach and heavy cropping (sports,wildlife and macro)...other than the D7100, I can't think of any camera for the money that is better than the D7200.

Brilliant video. Very artistic

My 'go to' camera for traveling, sports and every day. Use it with the Nikon 18-300 f3.5-5.6 lens when I want to travel light!

2023... still great.

Thank You for Great Review, really appreciate it 👌👌👌👌

I've just upgraded to this camera from a tired d7000 and use the same 35mm lens a lot, very happy with my choice :D

Excellent presentation!

Superb review. This is my camera and I love it

I shoot with a D500 and have a D7200 for my backup...I often leave my Lens Baby edge 50 on the D7200 :)

I just recently upgraded to the D750 from the d7200. The d7200 is still the best crop sensor camera out there right now, good dynamic range and really good lowlight performance. Battery life is really good as well, it’s built pretty solid and never had any issues with it.

Great video. I own the D7200 and I could not agree more.

Great content. Subscribed.

D7200 + 35mm DX, got the same combo, truly amazing

I’m now so happy I picked up this camera at Costco 5 years ago. I was on the fence about replacing it, and after this video, I realized I still have a lot of potential to fulfill out of this camera.

I’ve had a used D7000 for about 10 years. Bought it when my Fuji S2 died. I’ve been looking to upgrade for Astrophotography, real estate & portrait. The D7200 / D7500 Have been on my radar. I think this clinched it for D7200. I have the 35 & 50mm 1.8G’s. Both great lenses. Next I need a 10-20 or similar wide for interiors & Milky Way images. My only hesitation on the D7200 is the non articulating screen. I love that on the D7500 & even D5600. Thanks for a great video.

Just upgraged my D7200 to Df few weeks ago. But to be honest, the auto focus on D7200 is truly amazing and reliable. And the image quality was also brilliant! I am considering buying another D7200 as backup camera.

Great video, and not just because I agree with your assessment. Too bad you seem to have stopped making RU-vid videos. Hope to see more friends this channel.

I’m in school for commercial photography at the moment. This was my camera choice going into school. I now have a d610 as well and I can honestly say I prefer the d7200 and primarily use it for all of my projects.

I love my D7200 and the only thing that is missing from this camera that I would really use is a live view histogram. But this is the way that nikon get you to upgrade I guess. Great video. and yes the 35mm 1.8 lens is awesome.

Got one as first camera, along with D850. Still using d7200 until i learn enough to feel comfortable with not harming a costly camera. And im really enjoying it, pics look awsome to me. Got lens, d7200, cards, bad, $650. Cant beat that.

I love mine. Being a retired pro Nikon film shooter. I do find that I have to correct contrast and hues in post. It took me a while to realize the meter only works in M...A and S are basically automatic with No meter control except for the Plus Minus. The histogram is basically showing you exposure over or under exposed nothing more??? I also sometimes have to shut it off and turn it back on. The meter lags or get stuck. I do this and it starts working fine again.

I own the 7100 and the 7500. I would imagine I would love the 7200 as well. Love Nikon!!

Great video ....and yes I own a d7200 awesome Images also.

I'm using this camera, really I'm impressed

Than for review. Now I love my camera much more.

I just bought this used in August 2020 for 600 with its kit lens. The lens ain't much to write home about, I got it so I can practice and replace my 18-55. As far as the camera goes, compared to my D5000, this is like an upgrade to a pro level camera. I love it.

I'm got my D7200 on November 2018, shot only 500+ photos, but it is AMAZING camera! Recommended for everyone, NIKON RULES!

Totally agree. Used it for around a year no and it is the best camera Ivè ever had. I am a pro photagrapher/ droepilot in sentral Norway.

my D7000 was my trusty companion for the last almost 10years. we went through puberty together, i took her on my trip around the world and got through 13month of army training with her. She was always by my side and did what i asked her to do without any issues. and the she started to spit out an err code i wasn't able to repair. i now upgraded to a 7200 and have to say, the sensor with its dynamic range is amazing and i hope this will be as dependable as my lost friend.

As a longtime user of the D7100, I wholly agree with your assessment. I, too, would like a tilt screen, but IMO subsequent offerings in the 7000 series are incremental improvements at best. I’m mainly landscape-oriented, but with the camera set to continuous autofocus and back-button focus, it’s also useful for wildlife photography including birds in flight.

I purchased mine about 2 months ago and paid 696 dollars for it. What a fantastic camera the D7200 is. I got tired of the horrible dynamic range on my 7D mkii and when it quit working I decided to transition over to the D7200. I was able to sell off most of the Canon glass and invest in Nikon. Granted the burst rate is slower on the D7200 but there is a lot more to like about it than 10 frames a second. Anyway.....No regrets what so ever buying an older body. The sensor in the D7200 ranks as the best apsc sensor as tested by dxo marks even today.

The D7200 is a beast! I love mine. It does everything well, but it's not perfect at everything (and that's where the photographers abilities come in). The low light performance is also incredible! I use this to shoot concerts at ISO 8000 and 16000 and the results are printable.

Those are great shots. I just got that lens also, it's gorgeous. I could only afford the d5600 when i upgraded from my a100. That's a good camera too, though, I'd like more features

I use D7200 😊 What I like the most about this camera is the controls ❤️

I have the same set up and that 35 is fantastic.

I am in love with my 7100 with Tokina 11-16 2.8 DX and Nikkor 70-300 45-56G VR ED AF-S. In next years the only need will be a few glasses

Agreed 150%, I have a D850 but, I still love my D7200 it is a GREAT little came (when compared to the D850). That is one thing I love about it, it is light and easy to handle. Quality wise? Outstanding, great low light performance, nothing to envy the D850 even though the difference of megapixels. Thanks for your video, I am glad that there are people that give the D7200 its credit.

Great video. Subbed

I have one and a 24-70G F2.8 zoom nikkor zoom lives on it. Fantastic camera! I also have a couple D500 cameras which I love as well. One wears a 70-200 F2.8G VR2 and the other a 105mm F1.4E. It is a shame they discontinued the 7200. 24MP and excellent build and performance...fantastic body. Epic with pro fx glass. And has a focus motor too! Great for owners of older glass. I shoot lots of low light and sports which is why I have the D500 cameras. I wish I had 2 7200 bodies as well...

I use my D7200 everyday. The results are lovely. It's a joy to edit the pictures.

Any camera in a professional photographers hands is just that.....a professional camera. Case and point...Ansel Adams. People are too focused on gear and not enough on technique. The D7200 is a fantastic camera.

I have a D700 and it s still a great camera

I too own D7200 and just love it.

Still using my D7000, happy with it.

I'm actually amazed at the longevity of Nikon machines. I just got a D200 not too long ago and have dubbed it "the battleship" Built like a tank and takes great shots. I use older cameras and this one rocks. My next acquisition will soon be a D7X series machine. I found out that the saying is true. Change the body but marry the glass. My lenses are taking much sharper pictures than they ever did on the D60 or the D70. I want to get one with a CMOS sensor so that I can compare performance.

That's a great video btw

The rear and front wheels, assigned as Shutter and Aperture adjustments, respectfully, have become one of my favorite things. I shoot manual, always, and being able to change those two settings so quickly without menu digging is amazing. Yes, I know about the customizable menu. Of course, the two user customizable positions are great, especially when one is set for Jpeg and the other Raw. I took my first d7200 body back to the store because it slung oil on the sensor. The replacement body does the same. A couple youtube reviewers mentioned the problem and another one talked down to us as if we're stupid. We should expect that level of mechanical device to have the problem. I wanted to see if oil is leaking in his brain. I digress. It is not feasible to clean the sensor after every session. I find that sometimes I'm cleaning the image instead. The crop sensor is nice in that it, effectively, improves telephoto. The d7200 is better than the 7100. (I like my d750.)

Nice presentation. Am using Nikon D7200 and D810. Best cameras.

Totally agree!

Have stopped bracketing shots to blend in PS the dynamic range is so good. Now use mine with the 17-55 2.8 Dx Nikon lens (cost me less than 1/3 of the price of a new one). Have the 35mm too but not versatile enough to use. Keep it permanently on my D40X. I'm planning to buy a full frame camera (used) because I've FX lenses also. However I'll never sell my D7200 👍

You can throw in the d7100 too. These cameras were a big step up in the dx category. At lease for portraits. 51 focus boints and the battery grip has its own selector focus switch.

Still have my d7100. Love that thing.

Thank you for your honest review on this Camera! I have the Nikon D7500 and the D7200 is probably more Professional than the D7500!

its really good! i loved it. but sold mine after trying fx cameras. but ya i do kind of miss it :) really good camera and would be happy to buy it again.

Thanks good job

Keep ur work up

Should I get this to replace the d3100? Would this be a good upgrade? Or should I save more and get a newer one? "I really do not need or want the newest and best, due to being on a budget) but being 5 years or so old? would this be a great upgrade? And would the lenses I use on my d3100 be usable on this one?

Hello I was just wondering do you know the name of the background music you used it this video ?

Great vid. Thank you. Please explain your technique between 1:20 and 1:30. tx

This feels really early for a video of this type. It's only a few years old lol. It will be great for many more years. I just bought one last week.

Thank you for posting. I have the 7200 and love it. I take sports pictures of the grandkids and all the parents think I'm a pro. I'm not. The 7200 makes me look great. I'm like you. I don't use it for video. If I want to take videos, I'll get a video camera or a DSLR that's good for video. I want still images.

Bought this at the start of 2018. So glad I bought it, incredible features. Its ONLY downside is no tilt screen.
