If there is a problem with the lens, the D7200 won't fix it. The focusing motor in the body is only for pre AF-s lenses.

Oh, I didn’t know that. So I should just buy AF lenses if I get a D7200? They ARE less expensive. I’ve put it through eBay to return the lens. It’s been 38 days, so I’m hoping the seller will let me return it. Thanks for the info.

Owned a D300 for a while; got so tired of waiting for Nikon's upgrade that I bought a D7100. Still have the D7100, it's my back up to a D850. D7100, liked that it has two SD card slots for sure. Have taken it on five Nikon holidays to AZ and OR and WA. Did everything I wanted it to do.

The D7200 is just an upgraded D7100 which I used for a long time. It worked flawlessly and especially nice when I had my Carl Zeiss 18mm f/3.5 lens mounted to it. It was very well balanced and when the manual focus was lit it was always spot on. Buy the D7200 or just buy a new discounted D7100. B&H is a great place to buy.

The D7200 has more great reviews than the D7500. IF you want speed and buffering then get a D500. Ive had a D500 for 1 and 1/2 years and love it.

The D7500 will do 8 fps vs 10 fps of the D500. It has the same buffering (Expeed 5 processor) as the D500. The D7500 has the same low-light capability as the D500. What it lacks is the same AF system. It is both smaller and less expensive. Somebody else said that the D7500 was not much of an upgrade over the D7200. The D7500 has one stop of low-light capability over the 7200. The 7200 also used the older Expeed 4 processor and shoots at 6 fps.

I moved from a D5000 to a D7000, but soon traded up to a D7200. Great camera, easy to use and full of features. And unlike the D7500, it has 2 SD slots.

I am a working professional photographer, photographing weddings, mitzvahs, real estate, studio, and families. The D7200 is fabulous! I have two. Get it before it is no longer available.

I have a D5100 and am thinking of upgrading to the D7200.I read a bunch of bad reviews on the Amazon site which made me think twice about it. Has anybody read those reviews on Amazon and believe them? I know I've read other reviews on other things on Amazon and they seemed off the wall.It seems most of the things I've read on the Hog have been good.
It's one of the best crop sensor cameras on the market. I had one and upgraded to a D500. Ignore the bad reviews, it's now becoming a genuine bargain.

The D7200 will happily focus a working AF-S lens. It has a focus motor for lens with no internal motor which require a screwdrive.

The OP has not mentioned anything about going full frame. What you suggest would be a downgrade for some. Think wildlife and telephoto.

The D7100 was the first mid level pro body to have AA filtering (Low pass filter) removed for sharper image capture. The D7000 still had low pass filtering (smudging sharpness). The D5XXX models did not remove the AA Low Pass filter until later models.
Many profess they don't see the difference. For me it's the biggest upgrade any mfr has made in years, and I have shied away from camera's with low pass AA filtering since finding out how significant that change is in the Olympus E-PL! some years before. Now I shoot Olympus and Fuji X-trans. Oly took out LowPass some years ago, and Fujifilm has never used Low Pass Filtering on any of their DSLR or Mirrorless camera.
I definitely see the difference in the removal of AA LowPass filtering. If you agree with me and are obsessed with Nikon.... start with the D7100.

If Amazon sold Rolls Royces, you'd see bad reviews for them. Look at real reviews by real reviewers. I don't have my links on this computer, but Google has over eight million references. Take your time. 
The D7xxx is a great series.

I am amazed at the number of people who "bought it yesterday" and today they are writing a review.May 21, 2018 12:49:19 #
