Keep the D7000 or bite the bullet and get the D7200?

Here is something that most wont tell you about the 7200. Without an anti-aliasing filter you will see greater moire in shots of buildings, clothing and anything else with a tight pattern. This can look like wavey lines and can take on reds and blues. This effect is very hard to remove. If all you do is scenery the camera is excellent.

Moire comes from overy sharpening. Not from camera.

I would look seriously at full frame. I have a D610 that is just great for me and full frame is a big step up for IQ. If you want to stay crop frame, consider the D500. You may never feel the need for another step up.

Hi all - Thoughts on moving up to the D7200? I do... (show quote)
May we assume that all or most of your lenses are DX lenses and/or that you are otherwise committed to the smaller format, thus making suggestions of a larger format moot and counter to your original intentions?

There is a small detail which makes this less of an issue for nikon owners than canon the Dx sized lenses can be used on full frame nikons in dx mode. Unlike canon who ensured that the dx lenses would not fit Nikon designed things so you can move up to full frame and transition.
I think with the d800 d810 in crop mode you still get around 16 megapixels of pretty low noise pixels, thats not a bad camera in aps-c mode. Sure you would want to take full advantage of the larger sensor but it doesn't have to happen overnight at every focal length.

Except for 1, all my lenses are OK but I'm 99% sold on the 7200. THE 1% doubt is just a nagging desire to go bigger.

What I do when I get hit with the bug as a result of a new camera being announced is to ask myself whether I should care.
I use a D3 for instance. The camera is not perfect but it's way ahead of anything else I had at the time I bought it. When Nikon came out with the D4 and its successor, I looked at what was different and there wasn't anything that was different enough to warrant my doing anything. Now the D5 is out and that one is more tempting but again I'm not rushing out to get one.
My objective is to take outstanding pictures. So I've gotten the gear that allows me to do that. But of course that doesn't mean I don't have frustrations. My D3 only goes to ISO 6400 for instance, and I'd love something higher. But I don't shoot at those high settings very often. So it's not worth the money to go for the D5 yet. Eventually Nikon will come out with something that will solve a few of my frustrations and then perhaps I'll buy the next model. Until then I just work around the frustrations and produce outstanding pictures.
My suggestion is to ask yourself what frustrates you about your current camera and ask yourself how many of those frustrations would be solved by the new one and whether it's worth the price. Usually it isn't.
