DPReview Field Tests the Nikon D7200
Putting the Nikon D7200 to the Test
DPReview tagged along with pro photographer Gabe Bienczycki on a desert photo shoot to push the D7200 to its limits. A Los Angeles resident, Gabe is a former ballet dancer who now works as a filmmaker and a stills photographer. Joined by DPR Editor Barney Britton and a great deal of sunscreen, Gabe tests the tracking focus, low light and video capabilities of the D7200 as they photograph a pair of dancers on a scorching day in the desert outside of LA. Watch to see how the D7200 performed in their field test.
Transform the ordinary
Your vision in stunning definition
Free of an optical low-pass filter, the D7200 produces remarkably pure, sharp photos and videos. Its 24.2 MP DX-format CMOS image sensor works together with EXPEED 4 image processing and NIKKOR lenses to enhance detail and tonality. This outstanding image quality is maintained all the way up to ISO 25,600 (two full stops higher than the D7200's predecessor) for amazing low-light images. You can also now expand the ISO range up to BW1 (51,200) and BW2 (102,400) to shoot monochromatic photos in even more challenging lighting situations. Whether shooting stills or video, selecting the 1.3x crop mode extends the reach of NIKKOR DX and FX-format lenses, getting you closer to sports, action, wildlife and more.

High-speed frame rate and increased buffer
With its 6 fps* continuous 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.

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, 20ºC/68ºF). 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.
