I based my comment on the owners review below in " ". It would seem that dust spots would show up much earlier and oil spots may take a bit more time to adhere to the sensor. Just saying.

"I used the second D7200 for a few months and then in September, while on vacation, I noticed spots on the images taken with the new body! These are identical in appearance to the spots taken with the first body, the only difference being they took a few months to occur. After doing a bit of research I learned that Nikon has had problems (on previous models) with oil spots on the sensor. It seems to me the D7200 may also be suffering from the same problem."

I, too, love my D7200. I have never heard of oil spots with this model of Nikon. All DSLR's get dust spots eventually. You will not regret this upgrade.

Not really looking for a sale. It's just that my ancient D79s, with a shutter count in the 35,500 range is doing some weird things lately. That plus the remote and USP ports are not working. This is due to the remote shutter release cord getting tangled in a knob on the tri pod while I was raising the camera. I didn't know this and by the time I realized what was happening the damage had been done. I use a corded remote shutter release most every time that the camera is mounted on a tri pod which is about 90% of the time. Evidently, according to a local camera shop, this probably damaged the circuitry controlling these ports and sending it to Nikon for repair, if parts were available, would be $200.00 or more. B&H, and several other large camera retailers still list the D7200 for sale. I also have the ML-L3 wireless release but do not really like it.

I just paid 799 for mine at best buy...i opened a charge account with them and got 80 to spend later...

While a certain number of everything manufactured have issues, keep in mind that a lot of reported issues are user error. I had a D70 a long time ago. It died, Nikon fixed it, a few months later it died again. You have obviously had good results with the D70s. Go figure!

I bought a D7200 a couple of years ago, no issues. Not only that, it is a real step up from the D70.

I've been shooting the 7200 for a couple of years now, and have experienced none of the problems you mention. I didn't buy it for any particular feature (although it is great for movies, which I don't really do), but I will tell you that it can be magic with certain low-lighting conditions...especially outdoors in the "golden hours".

If it feels solid, it is because it is. You can't tell by looking, but the body is magnesium. I dropped mine on the hard floor of a hotel lobby in Ecuador from waist height, and I assumed the camera (and trip) were toast. The filter rim took most of the blow, and that dent was the only damage.

I bought mine from Adorama as "refurbished" by Nikon. The shot count on it was 17. Pretty low mileage. Law says if someone returns an item, it has to be classified as refurbished even if the box was opened and then returned because somebody didn't like black ! So you might want to consider something like that if you want to save some bucks. Right now I have it coupled with the Nikon 200-500 and this combo produces amazing color. Yes, it is a tad heavy.

Good luck,
Fredtoo

"I think the OP is a bit late. The D7200 sales is over."

What about a refurbed camera? No sale is necessary and if bought from Cameta it comes with a one year warranty.

I am a professional working photographer. I have two D7200 Nikons. Fabulous. Two card slot: I am backing up on the job....safety! I am shooting a home today using the simple 7 braketing stops and using HDR software. I shoot weddings and family portraiture. Love my cameras. www.delottphoto.com

After you get your cameras, start giving some thought to the "glass" you are going to use.

Also consider the newer D7500. It has the same sensor as the D500. I have a D500 and have been blown away by the quality of the images.

My D7200 is now my backup but still going strong if I need a second camera with a different lens. Over 200.000 shutter clicks as I shootmainly in bursts of 2-3secs. Action all the way.

Had mine since from when they came out, also have other Nikon bodies, I love the D7200, image quality is excellent. I haven't had a single issue with mine yet.

Go for it, you won't be sorry.

Been extremely happy with the 7100 model. No problems after 3 or so years except for my ignorance. Wish I could send in specifications for a camera and its capabilities to a manufacturer and remove the "gloss" and unnecessary capabilities.

There will always be those that give a really good product and really bad review. You should read more reviews from B&H. Most of the camera equipment I own have received similar reviews. Every product made receives some bad reviews.
Many of those BAD REVIEWERS would complain even if they could walk on water.
Like you said, there are many, many, many, many, more positive reviews than negative ones.
I have owned and used the Nikon D7200, it is a wonderful piece of equipment you will be glad you purchased it.
One suggestion I have, when you order and receive you Nikon D7200 from B&H, shoot the living crap out of it in every mode possible on the first two days you own it, if your not completely happy, you can return it or exchange it for another. But make sure you call customer service at B&H with any unresolved issues before you return it, it may be an operator error that they can clear up for you. B&H is a great place for purchase and service.

I have a D7100 (which is the model immediately prior to the D7200). I purchased the camera new when it was released by Nikon. I love the camera and use it heavily and regularly. I think that you will be pleased with the D7200.
