Not a significant upgrade, unless you MUST have a better buffer and a few more (OK, maybe more than a few more) megapixels. Those, and the fact that the WiFi is built-in, rather than needing a plug-in adapter, is about it. Roughly the same camera, otherwise. Unless you need these additional features, Id stick with the D7100.
Oh, sorry, no, I havent actually upgraded. So, never mind :)
As stated, there isn't much difference between the D7100 and the D7200. The buffer is slightly larger so if you are shooting burst in the D7200 (according to Nikon, when shooting at full resolution NEF, the D7100 shoots 6 fps and the D7200 shoots 7fps). The D7200 uses an Expeed 4 processor and the D7100 uses an expeed 3 processor and supposedly both use the same sensor (Note, I have seen claims of a different brand of sensor but friends at Nikon claim it is the same sensor just an Expeed 4 vs Epeed 3 processor) . I also know that many of the reviews are claiming huge increase in buffer size but Nikon has both rated at 6fps at the largest size raw so I would say test before you are commited. The D7200 has a better ability to focus in low light supposedly focuses at -3ev vs -2ev in the D7100. With the current pricing on the D7200 vs the D7100 or in your case already owning a D7100, I wonder if the improvements are worth the expense. If you are going to that expense, I would probably look at going to the D610 or the D750 since you are spending the money.
