Difference between AF-P and AF-S

I just went through this. D7200 does not (I think?) present option to turn VR off/on in the menu with the AF-P DX version, even with the latest firmware update. So choose between no-VR and VR permanently on. Unfortunately 70-300 is a range where VR is very valuable. But as noted, should be disabled for tripod shots. I will add that you mentioned birds, and panning can be an issue for VR as well.
Mind-boggling decision to eliminate the VR switch from the lens barrel. In birding it’s very helpful to be able to switch it quickly, preferably without looking. Cynically perhaps they are pushing us to “upgrade” to D7500.

I concur with the above. VR stays on ALL the time once the camera is switched on. The D7200 does not have a menu item controlling VR On/Off as is found in later models. When the camera is left switched on the VR electronics will place an extra load on the internal battery leading to battery charge depleting relatively quickly especially if one is using the camera in live view mode for videography.
