Catch shots others might miss
High-speed frame rate and increased buffer
With its 6 fps* shooting capacity, the D7200 is an outstanding choice for sports, wildlife and other fast action. It has a large buffer capacity that can handle up to approx. 100 shots of continuous shooting when in JPEG/fine/large; up to approx. 27 shots in 12-bit lossless compressed RAW or up to approx. 18 shots when using 14-bit lossless compressed RAW and DX-format image size. Switch to 1.3x image size and capture approx. 7 fps* in continuous high-speed mode.
*When using live view, the maximum frame rate will be approx. 3.7 fps.
Beautifully rendered time-lapse movies
Record daily life in stunning quality or experiment with new forms of creative expression. Create beautifully rendered time-lapse movies with smooth exposure variations entirely in-camera - a first for Nikon DX-format cameras. Make smooth exposure transitions with Auto ISO while monitoring with Highlight Display (Zebra Stripes). Apply Flat Picture Control for easier color grading in post. Transfer uncompressed footage onto an external recorder with the optional HC-E1 HDMI Cable while recording simultaneously to the internal SD memory card. Use the optional ME-W1 Wireless Microphone and record clear monaural audio from subjects as far as 164ft/50m away, or attach the optional ME-1 Stereo Microphone to the ME-W1 Wireless Microphone's remote unit for stereo recording.
Focus on challenging situations
Whether you're capturing images in daylight or after dusk, the D7200's superb AF system will keep up. Its Advanced Multi-CAM 3500 II autofocus sensor module achieves outstanding focus detection, even at a very dim -3 EV (ISO 100, 20C/68F). Its high-density 51 focus points cover a wide area of the frame in DX format and most of the frame in 1.3x Crop Mode, while 15 cross-type sensors in the center provide higher detection strength. One center AF point even works all the way to f/8, for greater focusing performance when using teleconverters.

The D7200 is a highly capable DSLR and I cannot go into all its features here. What I will try to do is explain why I chose the D7200 over its newer siblings in Nikon's DX lineup, and hopefully that will help make your choice clearer.
The D7200 is perfect for my needs. I wanted a camera that offered me enough control so I could experiment in any way I wanted to. It needed to be reliable and rugged. It needed to be capable enough to let my creativity go wild. While not as rugged as the more professional Nikon DSLRs, the D7200 checked all the right boxes for me.
I chose it over the D7500 because I really wanted the dual card slots. For me, the other improvements the D7500 offered could not justify the additional cost of the newer body. The other camera to consider is the D500 (if you are looking for DX cameras), but that was beyond my budget. The money I did not spend by going for one of the more expensive cameras, I spent on a better 70-300mm lens.
I shoot still life, children and landscapes most of the time. The D7200 gives me everything I need for these scenarios. The sensor is sharp and the resolution amazing, and as I found out, can bring to light any deficiencies in your shooting methods. It really forces you to learn how to improve technique if you want super-sharp images. I find this a welcome challenge, but others may not.
I paired the body with a Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras . For a medium zoom, after much agonizing, I finally went with the Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM FLD Large Aperture Standard Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital DSLR Camera . Lastly, I added the new Nikon AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR f/34-8 Fixed Zoom Digital Slr Camera Lens, Black for a tele zoom. The reason I spent the extra money for the FX version of this lens instead of the much cheaper DX version is because the FX version includes a hardware VR switch. In the DX version, VR can only be controlled from the body, and the D7200 does not offer that control so you can never turn the VR off. This may be an issue in situations where you do not need VR, so I spent the money saved on the body here, on the better lens.
The D7200 is a great camera, and with the current discounts, I highly recommend getting a new body before they go out of stock. Unless you are a pro who needs the super-fast continuous shutter speed and tougher body of the D500, or someone who prefers a larger sensor FX camera, the D7200 will not in any way stop you from capturing the images you envision. However, if video is your primary focus, the newer bodies may be a better choice.
I highly recommend Thom Hogan's Complete Guide to the Nikon D7200 and Steve Perry's (of Back Country Gallery) Secrets to the Nikon Autofocus System (for any Nikon DSLR) to help you get the most out of the sophisticated tool that the D7200 is. These books are available directly from the authors' sites.

For a medium zoom, after much agonizing, I finally went with the [[ASIN:B003A6NU3U Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM FLD Large Aperture Standard Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital DSLR Camera]]. Lastly, I added the new [[ASIN:B073V6HXZZ Nikon AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR f/34-8 Fixed Zoom Digital Slr Camera Lens, Black]] for a tele zoom. The reason I spent the extra money for the FX version of this lens instead of the much cheaper DX version is because the FX version includes a hardware VR switch. In the DX version, VR can only be controlled from the body, and the D7200 does not offer that control so you can never turn the VR off. This may be an issue in situations where you do not need VR, so I spent the money saved on the body here, on the better lens.
The D7200 is a great camera, and with the current discounts, I highly recommend getting a new body before they go out of stock. Unless you are a pro who needs the super-fast continuous shutter speed and tougher body of the D500, or someone who prefers a larger sensor FX camera, the D7200 will not in any way stop you from capturing the images you envision. However, if video is your primary focus, the newer bodies may be a better choice.
I highly recommend Thom Hogan's Complete Guide to the Nikon D7200 and Steve Perry's (of Back Country Gallery) Secrets to the Nikon Autofocus System (for any Nikon DSLR) to help you get the most out of the sophisticated tool that the D7200 is. These books are available directly from the authors' sites.
The Wi-Fi works very well with my iPhone 6 and it is very nice to be able to send pictures to family and friends via text or post on Facebook immediately instead of having to use a tedious USB cable to an iPad or wait until I get the SD card into my Mac when I get home. The Nikon app is limited in what it can do but the function it does give is convenient. You can take pictures remotely with the app even controlling the focus point and making changes to the cameras settings. This is great for night time photography where you don't want to have any movement on the body at all from pressing the shutter button. My biggest complaint is Nikon has ignored the ability to use my iPhone's A-GPS for geotagging. It can easily be done but Nikon doesn't utilize it. Sad. Very sad since it forced me to purchase an $80 GPS unit that will remove the ability to use my Speedlight now.
I think the biggest surprise for me was the multi-point auto-focus. My D300 was so slow and so poor at grabbing more than one object (people) to focus on that I just put my camera in single-point focus. The D7200 however is freaking quick and does a great job of grabbing three, four, five, heck, even up to 10 different objects at once. Instead of having many pictures where the wrong object was focused on; hence, the picture was useless, I now have great pictures with little effort.
One other luxury is the larger megapixel. I now can crop more liberally than when I had my D300 and boy oh boy can I make a nice picture of almost nothing. This makes using my walk-around lens more flexible as I really do not have to worry about swapping out to my full-frame 300mm lens as often as I use to. Speaking of which, my 300mm lens is from way back in the day so it's not AF-S thus another reason I grabbed the D7200. I believe it's the only prosumer Nikon that still supports those "cruddy" AF lenses. :)
I also hear battery life is great on this and after about three hours of snaps, I still show "full" battery! So far, I'm seeing great battery life. :)
All in all, I'm very happy with this camera. I would have loved to been able to grab the D750 for full-frame goodness, but at the end of the day, I'm not a pro so it doesn't justify the extra thousand dollars. Nikon did me good with this. You'll do good, too.
Top reviews from other countries
1. Viewfinder de mayor calidad, es ligeramente más grande que en la D5300 y prácticamente no tiene distorsión en los colores de la imagen, en la D5300 el viewfinder tiene un tono ligeramente amarillo. Es decir el viewfinder de la D7200 es prácticamente perfecto.
2. La pantalla LCD es de calidad similar a la de la D5300, esto no es malo ya que está muy bien, los colores y el contraste están bien calibrados, esperaba algo mejor pero al final la pantalla de la D5300 sí es de alta calidad.
3. Diseño, peso, materiales, controles, en general todo se siente premium y tiene muchos más accesos directos que la D5300.
4. Desempeño con baja luz, la D5300 tiene buen desempeño pero la D7200 mejora bastante este punto, realmente el ruido generado con ISO altos es bastante menor, en condiciones de baja luz y utilizando lentes F1.8 puedes disparar a 1/60 o 1/80 con ISO de 12000 o 16000 con un nivel de ruido bastante aceptable, por lo tanto en condiciones normales de noche sin problemas se puede disparar a 1/80 con ISO de 6000 a 10000 en casi cualquier condición con muy buena calidad, lo cual es lo suficientemente rápido para evitar vibración.
5. La D5300 tiene el Picture Control, el cual es un modo para añadir filtros, estos son Neutral, Vivido, Retrato, Paisaje, etc, estos modos alteran los colores, contraste, nitidez, etc. En la D7200 este modo está bastante mejorado ya que ahora puedes editar cada opción y ajustar contraste, nitidez, saturación, claridad, etc para cada opción, esto es super útil ya que una vez que definamos nuestros ajustes preferidos las fotos requerirán menos retoque.
6. Doble de velocidad máxima con respecto a la D5300, esto es útil al usar lentes con F1.8 como el 50 o el 85 mm ya que durante el día, entra tanta luz a la D5300 que no es posible obtener una buena exposición, requiriéndose un filtro de densidad neutra para limitar la entrada de luz, con la D7200 al tener una velocidad máxima de 1/8000 es poco probable obtener una sobre exposición.
7. Batería más duradera, tiene como un 30 o 40% más capacidad que la D5300 además como la pantalla LCD casi no se prende porque prácticamente ya que te acostumbras solo trabajas con la micro pantalla superior lo cual es mucho más eficiente y esto ayuda a que la pila dure muchísimo.
8. Es considerablemente más pesada y un poco más grande que la D5300, esto es tanto desventaja como ventaja, ya que por un lado sí es más incomoda de llevar pero por otro lado el peso extra da una mayor estabilidad al momento de disparar evitando la vibración.
Conclusiones, la cámara está muy bien, el cambio con respecto a la D5300 es bastante notable, es casi perfecta por donde se vea.
La escogí sobre la D7500 por la mayor resolución de las imagenes (24 M vs 21 M) , mayor resolución de la pantalla LCD (33% más) y por que no me interesa el video 4K.
Por lo que he visto, la D7500 tiene de ventajas un aún mejor desempeño en condiciones de baja luz, video 4K y pantalla articulada, es más ligera y un poco más pequeña.
