It is a big improvement, but you need to consider what type of photography you do. For me it would have been a big improvement because of a larger buffer. However, I decided to go with the D500 instead and I'm thrilled, but a D7200 is a whole lot cheaper now. There's more to the improvement than just the buffer, but without knowing what kind of photography you do, it's difficult to say. Best of luck

You may want to go the next step upgrade to D7500?Again the same issue.

No locking mode dial was my biggest problem with the D7000. Kept changing modes when I walked with it at my side. The later models have it.

I started my digital life with the D3300 (after many years using a Canon AE-1 film camera). My next upgrade was with a D7200 and ultimately to the D500. Each upgrade was huge in terms of what the camera could do for my photography. My favorite genres are nature/travel, street and macro. Since my lenses are for APS-C cameras, I do not plan on going Full Frame. My advice to you is to seriously consider getting a refurbished D500. I'd rent one first from lensrental.com and find out for yourself the benefits of upgrading to a top of the line APS-C body. Good luck in your decision. Shoot on!!!

The 7500 is not really an upgrade. It has less features.

For me, though the D500 is attractive, the built-in flash on the D7200, though I seldom use it, is necessary when I need it, as I don't mess with external flash photography. So, D7200 if you stay with DX.

GO for the D7200, and don't look back!.. My own D7000 has been re-purposed as an infrared only camera, and it's fine for that!!

I had a D7000 and switched to D7200 several years ago. I couldn't be happier with that choice. Currently at $700 certified-refurbished, it is a feature-laden (larger/faster buffer-whew!, internal focus motor, no anti-alias, upgraded image processing, etc.). DX camera that can WELL keep up with the "big boys."
If you're seeking video capability, you'd be better-off looking elsewhere. I don't use video, so not a concern.
If you are happy and "established" (lenses) in DX format, it "does what you're seeking" presently in your current photography endeavors, and you decide on the D7200- you'll probably, like me, look back at your D7000 and think, "what a CLUNKER!"
(As an aside- I magnanimously gave my D7000 to my mid-30s daughter; she "gratefully" accepted it, put it in a drawer, I think- and continues to use her cell iPhone as her main photography instrument...)

If you are a professional, YES. If your an amateur and just want clean sharp photo's, NO.

One can also chop down the occasional tree with an axe.
"Amateur/Professional"- I chose to make my livelihood in fields other than photography, but I certainly appreciate the additional features of the D7200 over the D7000. Maybe I don't need additional weathersealing, as I don't go out in the rain as an amateur. A photo excursion around, say, Pittsburgh architecture for instance, will show the distinct difference of having an anti-aliasing filter or not. The extra megapixels don't hurt when cropping either.
