Verdict

The Nikon D7200 is a semi-professional DX-format DSLR featuring a 24.2MP CMOS sensor with no optical low-pass filter, powered by the EXPEED 4 image processor. It is equipped with a highly capable 51-point Multi-CAM 3500DX II autofocus system sensitive down to -3 EV, dual SD card slots, and a weather-sealed magnesium alloy body. Major pros include its exceptional image sharpness, extensive 1,110-shot battery life, and high-speed performance with a 6 fps burst rate and an expanded buffer compared to its predecessor. However, the camera lacks 4K video capabilities, has a fixed rear LCD that is neither a touchscreen nor tiltable, and suffers from slow autofocus when using Live View mode.
