Nikon D7100 and Nikon D7200: Review

The Nikon D7100 and the Nikon D7200 are very great cameras and are regarded among the most successful in the Nikon series. Both were introduced into the market in February 2013 and March 2015 respectively and have since then dominated their section in the market. Both cameras are Digital Single Lens Reflex cameras and feature APS-C sensors. Let us now take a deeper look at both cameras, highlighting their similarities and differences.

Image Quality

The Nikon D7100 and D7200 both feature 24-megapixel sensors, although the newer model – the D7200 – now boasts an updated EXPEED 4 image processor, which has about 30 percent faster processing speeds over EXPEED 3. This added processing power guarantees faster overall camera operation and fortifies the buffer size. Also, the Nikon D72100 provides a two-stop enhancement in the built-in ISO range, increasing from the typical maximum of ISO 6, 400 to a more assured 25, 600. The combination of this updated processor further allows the camera to offer cleaner and smoother images without any banding in low light conditions up to about ISO 6,400. Apart from these differences and the upgrades, both cameras are largely identical in terms of raw image quality. Both cameras do not feature Anti-Aliasing filters, which allow for sharp images with top-notch dynamic colour rendering.

Video Quality

Unlike the D7100, the Nikon D7200 shoots 1080p Full HD video to up to 60 fps, although it shoots at the downside of an extra 1.3x crop. Although the Nikon D7100 also shoots 1080p at about 60 fps, it shoots in the lower entwined mode, which does not usually offer similar quality the Nikon D7200 delivers more explicit overall video quality. This means that for the D7100 to shoot at its best, it’d have to do so at 1080p at 30 fps. So while the crop is not ideal at 60 fps, at least the camera now offers the possibility of shooting slow-motion Full HD video. The successor adds Auto ISO when filming video. Auto ISO automatically adjusts ISO to maintain even exposure throughout video recording, regardless of lighting changes. Overall, it is essential as it compensates for changes in ambient light that would otherwise ruin video recordings.

Display

Both cameras have fixed 3.2-inch wide-angle TFT LCDs with resolutions of 1.23M dots. Both cameras feature top deck LCDs, useful to display critical shooting parameters.

Autofocus

Both cameras feature 51-point AF systems, where 15 of their points are cross-type enabled. However, the successor inherits the same autofocusing module as the D750, which delivers better overall AF performance, especially during low light. It can now focus down to an impressive -3 EV. Nevertheless, while not drastically improved, the updated system creates a better overall system.

Battery Life

The successor features improved battery longevity, where it now provides a whopping 1,100 shots per charge compared to the predecessor’s 950. This change represents a 15% improvement and is one of the key selling point features of the newer camera.

Conclusion

Well, as you can tell, both cameras are virtually identical. In the end, the main reasons to upgrade to the newer D7200 are if you desire its improved battery life, buffer depth, built-in Wi-Fi, or Auto ISO. For some, these additions will provide the added value necessary to justify its price. Otherwise, the D7100 remains equally capable and has an excellent camera that offers better value.
