With Nikon’s full frame cameras like the D750 and D810 hogging the limelight, it is easy to forget that it still has digital SLRs aimed at intermediate and advanced users that rely on a less fancy APS-C “crop” sensor.

For the budget shooter who needs professional image quality and performance, there's nothing better than the Nikon D7200. It certainly has its weaknesses, but it's likely the best APS-C camera available.

Excellent color depth and dynamic range create accurate and detailed photographs

Because of its small sensor; the D7200 suffers in low light

If you know someone who makes their living taking photos, there's a 99 percent chance they shoot on either Canon or Nikon gear. And there's a reason for that: their higher end cameras and lenses are superbly built, reliable and perform brilliantly.

As the camera market continues to evolve, the Nikon D7200 wedges itself firmly in the traditional DSLR camp. It's shunned featuring a vari-angle screen like its Canon competitors, such as the 70D or 760D, but does include Wi-Fi and NFC for sharing pictures via a smart device.

Great image quality; no high-ISO banding as per D7100 sensor; extensive battery life per charge; 100 per cent field-of-view viewfinder; larger buffer for burst mode

Still lacks vari-angle LCD screen; limited update over D7100 predecessor

Though the D7200's updates are few and far between, they add up to one of the best APS-C DSLRs yet....

Nikon's best consumer DSLR sees a handful of updates with the D7200, including enhanced ISO sensitivity.

Excellent noise reduction; Excellent image quality; Lots of physical controls; Very versatile; Fast; Accurate autofocus

Heavy; Controls confusing to a beginner; Contrast detection auotofocus in video mode

If you're a complete amateur looking for your first ever DSLR, then the Nikon D7200 is probably more than you'll need. There are cheaper DSLRs out there that'll also serve your purpose.

Initial results shooting outdoor under a wide range of lighting condition were very favorable.Liked the crispness of video.

I tried ordering from newegg after they called me at home. We placed the order and then it was cancelled because they couldn't verify the card. Funny thing is I called the card company and they said they showed the charge pending.

Considering the size it is fairly light; Pic quality is great compared to my last DSLR and I thought it was pretty hot; This camera was over 1k less expensive and 4X the pixels

I haven't found any yet

If market data is to be believed, fewer people are buying DSLRs these days. Some have migrated to mirrorless cameras. Others are likely holding onto older bodies, while still more are just as happy taking their snapshots with smartphones and even-so help us-tablets.

Wi-Fi and NFC; similar design to full-frame lineup; excellent battery life; expanded buffer; improved low-light focusing
