As a 68 year old on and off hobbyist I love this forum and don't mind at all when the topic wanders a bit, so long as it is not a real attempt to highjack the thread. So much hate in the world let's try not to vent our spleens here.
Some people are passionate about their hobby, here, and some are passionate about being passionate.

All AF-S lenses have focus motors.
You are right that it is still possible to buy a few non-AFS lenses new. I bought the AF 50 mm for my D800 a couple of years back. But the $100 I saved by not buying the AFS wouldn't cover the price difference between a D5xxx and D7xxx. And it remains the only non-AFS lens I own (out of a dozen).

You had said that "since '96 no current lenses were made without built-in auto-focus motors," I was simply stating that they were.

Is the D7200 worth the extra money for the casual photographer?

For the truly casual photographer even the D7100 is overkill.

Which part are you disagreeing with? The D7xxx series are intended as enthusiast cameras. While anyone can own one if they wish, its doubtful a casual shooter will get the very best from them.

I disagree, if a person is going to make the effort to move from a point and shoot or a cell phone camera and enter into the dslr arena, he/she has made the move to take better photos, and with that move, in my opinion, there is no reason to start with a camera that they will outgrow within a few months. if they can afford it, start with a higher end body and they will be better off in the long run.

Agreed. But if they have a real interest and are willing to commit the time necessary to learn to use a camera at level, it no longer qualifies them as a casual shooter.

I guess what we have to determine, in this case, any way, is what "casual" actually means for the OP.

Agreed. Defining terms with mutually agreed on meanings is critical to a successful discussion.

I see this being a very subjective type of question. It's not a straight "features and functions" type of thing and thus one is better than the other. It's whether or not those differences are meaningful enough to you to pay more. Both cameras are excellent choices and you can't go wrong with either one. I suggest you do three things; (1) read the comparisons and understand the differences; (2) think about the differences and decide if they are meaningful enough to you to decide one is worth $300 more to you and (3) find a store where you can pick up and feel the camera in your hands. Decide if it feels comfortable in your hand from both a weight and ergonomics perspective (very important).

At least two thing need defining, or at least clarified. The first is what he means by casual, as it pertains to him. The second is "better." What does that mean? Both cameras are good, but what does "better" actually mean? Once we get that straight, we can then compare the two cameras and attempt to determine which one is the better choice, or if neither is a good choice and something else is more appropriate.
Now, we need more input from the OP as to his experience, what he has now and what he expects to do with his camera. Only then can we supply meaningful advice or recommendation.
