D7000 vs D7200
Jun 13, 2015 09:25:05 #
I'm thinking of upgrading from a D7000 to a D7200. The main reasons are better low light capability and more detail in cropped shots. Any opinions or experience would be welcome.

I upgrade last month from the D 7000 to the D 7200. I love it. The high ISO is great. The higher mega pixels helps. You'll be very happy with the upgrade.

I have the model in the middle, as it were, but I would think that you could solve the low light issue more cost effectively by acquiring some "faster" glass. Not sure about resolution but I doubt there is much to be gained in that respect.
For me, it would take some pretty amazing upgrades to part with the 7100. If you want a noticeable difference in resolution consider a full frame camera. Just my thoughts...

I feel your pain! A lot has been said regarding the 7100 vs the 7200,so after deciding,for me, that the better features of the 7200 were not worth paying the extra,I upgraded my main camera from the 7000 to the 7100.Some great deals out there and I grabbed a refurb.
In retrospect,I probably should have done the 7200 in order to have the 'latest and greatest',but realistically I think that I made the right decision. Perhaps I'll jump again in two or three years.
Now that I have not helped you,good luck! :roll: :roll:

I'm sure you will like the 7200 a lot.
I will say though that the main difference between the
7100 and the 7200 is video, so if you don't use video,
a 7100 could be had at a cheaper price.
Your 7000 is a great camera. If it works good you may want to wait.. I don't think it will be that much of an improvement.
Probably not what you wanted to here.
Just my opinion.
Let us know what you choose and post some photos.

I won't upgrade because I think that 24 megapixels is excessive for a DX sized sensor - great for full frame. They keep having to make the pixels smaller and smaller which is not a good thing. It seems that they've hit a limit. There was no increase in resolution between the D7100 and D7200.

I went from a 3100 to a 7100.
The 3100 had 14mp and I printed several photos quite
large and they came out clear and crisp. I like to crop
so the 24mp comes in handy. For me it's not excessive.
I would say it's just about perfect.
Have you seen these new full frames?
Nikon, Canon, and Sony have really beefed them up.
up to 50mp now. Crazy.

I have the 7000, not the 7100. Have considered full frame, but would rather not have the extra weight, and I have the faster glass. Thanks for the comment.

From what I've read, the 7200 will beat my 7000 in lowlight, and the increase to 24mp from 16mp will increase my cropping ability. The lack of an AI filter also will help. Thanks for your thoughts.

Per one of the comments above, maybe the 7100 would be good enough. Thanks.

I'm considering full frame, but would rather not have the extra weight in a camera I carry a lot. Thanks for your thoughts.

I didn't realize that the 7000 had 16mp. I thought it had 24mp like the 7100.
I see you like to shoot birds like I do. That will help with cropping.
Funny, I want to get a 750 and I believe it does have
that filter. They just can't make up their minds.
The 7200 will have better low light capability, but I
don't think its a big difference.
Looking forward to seeing your photos with it.

I have the 3100,7000 and 7100. The larger buffer of the 7200 could be nice,but I'm not interested in video,at least at this point. The 7000 was a huge improvement over the 3100,particularly in low light. The 7100 is even better in low light,which I enjoy inside and for early morning wildlife shots. Same old story,depends on your uses.
We've blown up quite a few shots from Yellowstone and the 3100 did a nice job.
