Nikon D7200 DX-format DSLR Body (Black)

Mi primer cámara fue una D5300, por lo tanto les comento los puntos importantes a considerar.

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.

Es una cámara muy completa, vengo de usar una D90 y está realmente me agrado en cuestión de velocidad, capacidad, el lente incluido es muy versátil. Falto incluirle el parasol a este paquete pero ya tenia. Tiene varias funciones automáticas interesantes para hacer cosas nuevas. Aún no uso el wifi aún. Pero realmente vale la pena esta cámara. Estoy muy satisfecho y contento.

NIKON D7200 REVIEW
I have always appreciated it when others, especially early adopters/buyers, take the time to write a thoughtful review of their own experiences with cameras and other equipment that I am interested in, here on Amazon.

Thus, my motivation for this review is to- pay it back.

My photo interests are photographing wildlife, birds (especially hummingbirds), people & groups- pretty general stuff. While I do not make my living at photography, I have been studying and working at improving my photography for many years.
Presently, I have and use the Nikon D300 & D600. Generally, I keep a long lens on the D300 (a DX-crop-sensor body) for immediate use if/when wildlife wanders by, as we live in a rural setting. The D600, (a FX or full-frame body) is my workhorse camera that I carry with me just about all the time. I had a D7000 (DX body), but gave it as a gift to my wife when upgrading to the D600. I really enjoyed using the D7000, but no getting a gift back once given!

(If interested, you can view examples of my photography at: www dot flickr dot com/photos/pms_swim/ — You will need to replace dot with a period (.) Amazon still strips out web addresses in reviews, I think).

Anyway, I decided to get a newer DX body, as I have been using the D600 (FX) exclusively & would like to experience just a tad more reach a DX body provides with birds in flight with the lenses I use.
Initially I purchased a refurbished D7100 (DX) -it seems like a nice camera, but the copy I got had a very dirty sensor & I returned it.
Thus, I decided to buy a new body, but could not find a great deal to warrant the expenditure, at that point. This was before I heard about the D7200.

So,that is how I came to pre-order a D7200, after reading about features, and so forth.
I was attracted to the fast shutter speeds up to 1/8000 sec (my D600 only goes to 1/4000 sec),
the faster frame rate & relatively larger buffer, the upgrade with auto-focus (AF).
I am not into video yet, but note that the D7200 seems capable.
Likewise, I am not sure I will use the wireless feature, but hope to explore it, soon.

One obstacle I had to accept when ordering the D7200 is the lack of software support.
In preparation for arrival of new camera, I updated my Nikon software on one computer:
switching from View NX to the just released View NX-I, and from Capture NX2 to the new Capture NX-D
so I would have software on hand to read the D7200 NEF (RAW) photo files.
You probably have noticed that there always seems to be lag time in getting upgrades to photo software (e.g. Adobe) that accommodates the photo files produced by new cameras.

I also purchased an inexpensive OP/TECH USA SUPER CLASSIC uni-loop camera strap (here on Amazon) to replace the gaudy NIKON camera straps. In addition to appearing more low-key when out & about with the camera, it allows for easy switching to / from a wrist strap, and for the temporary removal of the neck strap when placing camera on a tripod, if desired.

Another plus/factor in buying this camera is that it uses the same Nikon battery as the D600, so I have spares already on hand.
Likewise, the SD/SDHC memory card slot(s) use the same memory cards I have a supply of.

AND THE CAMERA ARRIVED TODAY! I was a tad concerned to see that Amazon only packed the camera box inside another box without any additional packaging (air space) materials, otherwise the out of the box experience was pretty great. I slipped a charged battery in place & 2 SDHC cards & formatted them, placed the 24-120mm, F/4 Nikon AF-S lens on.

Then, I walked around the pond on a rare (of late) sunny day here in southwest Arkansas. (see photos).
I was adjusting menus as I went. The AUTO setting produced nice photos in the shade, but was trying to POP UP the flash with bright backgrounds, so I switched to aperture priority & set the ISO about 500.
Also, I am used to setting the AE-L/AF-L button on back as my AF on button, and use the shutter only for metering & shutter release. I had some initial confusion in doing this as the AUTOFOCUS menu scrolls up into MOVIE settings & I kept missing that detail. I eventually remembered how to set the AE-L/AF-L button & shutter release button correctly.

Fortunately, one of the cats accompanied me on the stroll around the pond & proved to be a great model for trying AF with & without 3d tracking AF on. Using 3d tracking AF, II was able to fire away & capture most of the shots in sharp focus, as the cat rushed toward me. Without 3d tracing AF, II would only get the initial photo in focus. The autofocus is very quick. I also took photos of bees in front of their hive, birds in flight, fish on the surface of the pond and several flowers. The exposure and colors on the back of the camera (saving both NEF to card 1, JPG to card 2) look great. Now, over exposed several photos on this very bright day, but that was more camera operator error. I will want to try the AF later near dusk to see how camera operates in lowlight.
I will try to post these examples (cat, fish on pond, daffodils, birds in flight, honey bees, peach blossoms) for your viewing. Note,I still need to open & review the camera manual. Nor have I loaded the photos into the computer to see what ViewNX-I or Capture NX-D do with the NEF (RAW) files.

I will try to update if there is any interest. I will also try to answer any questions.

UPDATE: for past couple of days, I have tried to strip the non-characters” from this review, but they keep showing back up, so i nuked review & tried to redo. We will see. sorry. best intentions gone astray.
Using the 300mm, f/4 AF-S Nikor prime lens gives me hope that the autofocus will perform admirably. I took some photos of birds about bird feeder & will try to post them here, also. (NOTE: photos that I am attaching are from NEF files, converted via VIEW NX-I at about 60% balance quality/compression to jpgs. trade off size of file vs. helping you view details. I will also post to my FLICKR site at 100% (see address above in review). Also, I am having to learn how to use new Nikon Capture NX-D & View NX-I.

Tenía mis reservas por el precio y cuando llego, por cierto rápido me di cuenta que es original y nueva estoy a gusto por la compra, la uso para foto de calle y en estudio genial, vengo de una gamma d3200 y la diferencia sobre todo en el iso es fabulosa y el objetivo 18-140 que pensé sería de menos calidad por ser kit me ha dejado sorprendido ???? estoy contento por la compra ha sido lo mejor que he hecho en años ????????????????????????????????
