all DSLRs are pretty much the same in terms of operation.

The D7200 is a great camera. There are a few owners and former owners that hang out in the photo forum, myself among them.
We can help you with any issues you may have. |

You'll love the camera. I spent some time on YouTube watching how other people set their menus and button operations up.

Congrats! Own one myself, quite pleased with it after all this time with it.

Camera was delivered today. I haven't had time to give it more than a once over, but the finish on the body is pristine. Not a mark on it. Once I get home I'll be able to examine it closer while charging up the battery.

Just the feel of it in my hands is worlds different than my D5300.

Quote HistoryQuoted: This is my first DSLR so I don't have anything to compare, and I haven't come close to mastering all the features, but I've been really happy with the pictures I'm able to take with it. I can't wait to be good enough to upgrade but until then I don't know what I'm missing with the 7200 Upgrading to a pro DX body like the D500 gains you a few extra buttons, a flippy screen, and you actually lose the built in flash. Admittedly it feels a lot better in the hands and the buttons are a bit better laid out. If you decide to switch to full frame, you get generally shallower depth of field, true aperture for lenses, true focal length for lenses. Buttons vary depending on model. Often ISO performance for full frame bodies is better than DX bodies but the D500 kinda muddies that rule a bit and the D7200 isn't that far behind. |

And of course, the battery is dead.

Ok, playing a little bit, and it may just be all in my head, but the 7200 seems to focus faster than the 5300.
Has to be in my head. The focus motor is in the lens, not the camera. New toy throwing my perception off, I guess. |

The D500 is an entirely different animal though.

Holy fuck was that thing fast to focus! |

Please continue posting updates on how you like it as you get more experience with it. The D7200 is what I'm seriously considering (or the D7500). It's probably more advanced than I'll ever need, but I want something I can grow into.

The only issue I've had so far is trying to turn the front dial and turning the power switch by mistake.
I like the camera though. Once you start figuring out the controls, it's a hell of a lot easier than the menu driven system on the 3xxx and 5xxx series. |

Back button focus is the shit! So much nicer than using the half press on the shutter button.

The above shots are way underexposed.
The trick to hummingbird shots is to use a moderate shutter speed and iso to expose for the ambient light, and use one or more flashes to light the bird and make the details pop. Your shutter speed will *never* be fast enough to freeze the wings unless the bird is sitting still. The only way to do it when the bird is flying is with several low power flashes. The lower the power setting, the quicker the recycle time. However, you'll need more than one usually to get enough light to get the job done. Not bad for a first attempt though! |

Yeah, I know they are underexposed. Did it as part of the learning process as to how aperature, iso and shutter speed interact. Call it playing around for the sake of experience.
But even the way they are, there is just something about them that pleases MY eye. And as a hobbiest, that is the most important part to ME. |
