Jerry C41, thanks for the info.

I realize that probably 99% of people who have the level of the D7200 and higher cameras up through professional levels, would never use the Date Stamp, but for those of us who find unique situations where it can save time and is needed or requested of the photographer, it would have been nice for Nikon to have STILL given us the option to turn that feature on or off,...our choice not theirs.

Longshadow, its not that I can't get the info needed, I just wanted it set up within the camera to print on each jpg photo as it came out of the camera like the entry level DSLR's or point and shoot cameras do.

You guys overwhelmingly helped me (over 50 responses), with my question on flying with my equipment in preparation for my upcoming cruise, now I have another question unrelated.

From time to time my church wants me to photograph rooms, people, events but would prefer a time stamp on the photos for historical purposes. I know I can turn this on and off in my D3300 but can I do this in the D7200 to the jpeg images? I searched UHH but almost everything was about removing the stamp, not putting it on.

Wow! This was the first time posting for any help on UHH and I am overwhelmed at the many responses. You people are Great! About 30 years ago I was doing film with a Cannon AE-1 Program. In December 2015 Got my first digital DSLR with rhe D3300. This past Christmas I graduated to the D7200. Relearning has been trying for this 61year old, but the many posts all of you respond to has helped me ALOT! THANKS EVERYONE!

Normc, I really wasn't sure WHAT to pack. From reading everybody's suggestions I have decided to re-think what I will take. I am thinking just the D7200 body, the 18-300mm and maybe my 50mm FX prime. I also own (all Nikon lenses):28-55mm; 55-200mm; 55-300mm; and the before mentioned 85mm FX prime. Along with the speedlight and extra batteries and memory cards. With the 18-300 mounted on the 7200 which other lens that I have would you suggest to take?

GrandmaG...WOW! Never thought about that one.

jimg good advise. Thanks!

LFinger that is good to know. Thanks!

Thanks Michael. Our cruise leaves March 2nd from Orlando for a three day trip to Nassau. I was going to replace my lenses with bottles of wine, guess I won't now...lol.

Thanks Bob. I am kind of nervous about this. My pack SHOULD fit under my seat.

Hi everyone, I have been viewing UHH for a couple of months now, but this is my first posting. I am about to take my camera equipment in a camera backpack as a carry-on onto a plane flight from Ohio to Florida. I will be going on my first cruise from there (but that has questions within that subject for another posting). I have never went through TSA with camera equipment before. What things should I do or not do to go through the terminal AND on the plane? Will the scanners damage anything? Are there restrictions on anything? ...etc. I will be packing in my carry-on, my Nikon 7200 and 3300 bodies; 18-300 lens, 50 mm and 85 mm prime lenses; speed light, extra batteries, memory cards, etc.

Very good lighting and COLORFUL. I like the second one best!

drkld glad it was of some use. I took the photo with my cell phone and was half asleep in my easy chair. I should have taken the time to scan it or photo it with my D7200. Just wanted to help. It is weird that Nikon has this counter set like this. Maybe someone else has an answer why? Anyway, WOW you take a LOT of photos. I can't imagine taking 1,000+ photos at one outing (but I have come close...lol).

I hope you can read this. I took a photo of a page from the book "Mastering the Nikon D7200" by Darrell Young.

I agree that it comes down to the excitement of starting all over again. I am also a newbie on here. In the 80's I used a Canon AE-1 and Canon T-50. I too have several lenses for them and would love to sell them because they are too good to throw away. I rediscovered my love for taking photos after a 30 year hiatus and last Christmas bought a Nikon D3300 kit and got real excited and had to re-learn stuff all over again PLUS the new technology. Since then I have bought several lenses and accessories, and just bought (almost a year to the day from buying the D3300), a Nikon D7200 body about a week ago. YES, get involved again! This is SO much fun!!!
