Your opinion: D7200 or D800?
I've got a D7200 now, and I've borrowed a D800 with the ability to purchase possibly at the same price I could sell my D7200 for. So far, I'm not impressed with the D800. Only thing I'm seeing it does better is noise. I'm finding AF is better and photos are sharper with the D7200, even when photos are taken with the subject the same size. So, I can't really crop in any tighter due to the poor focus, the extra MP do nothing for me there.
I guess I'm slightly biased though, since I need the reach the crop sensor has given me so far. I commonly shoot sports, so that's why the AF is important to me. But even in the still test shots I've been taking, the D7200's photos just look better. So now I'm really reluctant to switch, even beyond the focal length advantage.
I know for most of you that haven't tried both, it probably sounds weird, how can the D800's images look worse? And that's exactly what I thought. Think I'm doing something wrong, or do you think this could be accurate?
