I recently purchased this camera as my first DSLR and i did so having researched a fair amount into the capabilities and results of each camera within the Nikon catalog. New to photography, i wanted something capable of capturing moments with high-end quality still images as well as HD video.

I take wildlife pictures and this camera delivers.

When we reviewed it a couple of years ago, Nikon's D7100 enthusiast DSLR thrilled us in almost every way, but a too-small buffer left us wanting just a little more. Now the followup Nikon D7200 is here, and this all-weather beauty no longer keeps us waiting thanks to a tripling of the buffer memory.

Rugged, weather-sealed body; Great ergonomics and loads of controls; Accurate optical viewfinder; Excellent image quality; Decent burst speed; Swift autofocus; Generous buffer depths; Superb battery life

Mixes plastic and magnesium-alloy panels on exterior; LCD monitor can't be tilted or swiveled; Presents a steep learning curve; No focus peaking in live view; Video mode feels a bit of an afterthought; New Wi-Fi features are rough around the edges

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

The Nikon D7200 makes the 2-year-old D7100 look like a terrific deal. With only minor improvements over its predecessor, the D7200 remains a great camera, but given the D7100's lower price, the D7200 is a tough sell unless you're a night owl or long burst shooter.

Great photo quality; solid performance and a sturdy body are the Nikon D7200's highlights

Subpar wireless implementation and a fixed LCD display

When the original D7000 was launched roughly four and a half years ago, Nikon significantly raised the bar of what we could expect from a camera of its class. Features like 100% viewfinder coverage, 6fps shooting, 2016 pixel metering and twin memory card slots were a big deal in 2010, but it's...

The D7000 series of cameras, to which this new model belongs, is Nikon's APS-C-sensor flagship. Boasting a superb feature set for the enthusiast photographer, this range is the crème de la crème from the Nikon stable.

Has lots of control buttons making it quick to change settings; Quick AF system with a total of 51 points; Built-in NFC connectivity for sharing with a smartphone or tablet

No touchscreen/articulation like others in the Nikon range; No change in body design over the Nikon D7100

A dependable DSLR, but if its features or portability you're after it comes up short

Good low light performance; Lots of controls within easy reach; Sturdy build

Quite large; Offers little in the way of cutting edge features

The D7200 is a great top-spec enthusiast D-SLR, but it's difficult to envisage many owners of the D7100 rushing out in their droves to upgrade. But if you're coming in fresh to the market, it's worth paying the extra ￡190 to get this latest model. The new processor makes the biggest difference.
