Anyone got the 7200 yet?

[bribrius]

I hope the price on the d7100 drops even more, I'd love to pick one up for extra reach with wildlife

Primarily what is good for imo. Notice you are shooting landscapes with ff though. Different camera, different use.

You have snow issues too then, this year has not been too snowy, well actually a lot less but been very cloudy for months. Have only been out with the telescopes only 5 times since October which was not too much fun, but luckily a couple of nights when there was strong Aurora. Last week for the eclipse was meant to be cloud but luckily was plenty of clear skies around but clouds did interfere a little. It was my first ever time imaging an eclipse so was very pleased with myself.

Found what I was looking for right after posting this.

Now I can print out the user guide.

It's tough question to pose because people with the 7100 aren't probably running to the stores to buy the 7200. It's an incremental upgrade really. So it would be hard to find someone with extensive use on both cameras let alone the 7200 with how new it is.

I think what you need to ask is how long term of an investment is a camera body. For me it is approximately 5 years. The longest anyone has had a d7100 is two years. I suspect a rather low proportion of people consider a camera back a two year (or less) investment.

You don't think people consider camera bodies a 2 year or less investment? There's a website Id like you to check out: thephotoforum dot com.

I think this could be an interesting poll, though i think it may more naturally be 2 polls split for enthusiasts and pros.

I of course do believe it is less permanent of an investment for some people. But I'd conjecture 2 years is below the median, mode and arithmetic mean even for TFP.

i tend to keep a camera for many years. Not to say i won't buy a new one but i keep the older one as well.

"No need to upgrade from my D70. It still takes just as good a picture as the day it did when I bought it."
"I love my D90!"
"Just because there are newer cameras, it doesn't mean my old D80 is useless!"
"There's no need for a full frame camera. I still love my D200!"

I was looking into getting the d7200 or the Nikon 610. From your experience, does the wider ISO range compensate in low-light situations? I am not sure if going with a full-frame will give me more bang for my buck than the possibly "gimmicky" ISO range. I am working with very old equipment so I am open to getting one of two new FX lens' with the camera. I was looking to do a broad range of photography (weddings, horses, vineyards, videos, ect). Any advice would be greatly appreciated between choosing the 7200 or 610.

all your photography screams FF needs.

I didn't know if the great specs on the new 7200 would make it better to go with DX vs. a lower model FX.

IQ on the d600 is still going to beat it.

The ISO range isn't gimmicky. The users that have upgrade to FF all really enjoy the "gimmicky" though totally improved ISO/low light range.

It's fantastic. I went from a d7000 to a d600 and still have both. It's really a night and day difference. The d7000 now only has limited use. I'd like to upgrade it to a d7200 but I'd rather add the d750 instead.

D7200 should have slightly better low light performance then the D7100 but it cant touch a FX (or FF) camera like the D610/600 in low light.
The range of 100-25600ISO on the D7200 is gimmicky.
I wouldnt bother using it above 6400ISO

I just went from the 7100 to the 7200 for one reason, the buffer. I'll never use any of the other features but the buffer was enough of an improvement for me to go get one. My 7100 served me well for 20,000 clicks but that buffer was an issue that needed to be fixed for the way I shoot.

Now I just need Adobe to get the Camera RAW update out.

I am also very tempted to get the 7200 based on its features (vs the d610). I am still new to photography so I think the higher shutter speed, buffering,reach and video quality(60fps at 1080p) makes me lean towards the 7200.
