Nikon D7200 to be Announced


As you can probably tell from our last several posts, Nikon is going to be busy the next few months.  According to NikonRumors.com the all new D7200 will be announced shortly after CP+.  Why Nikon has decided to wait until after the big show to make the announcement is anyones guess, but it appears they won't be making the announcement for at least a few weeks.

The D7200 is not expected to be a professional camera, but simply a small upgrade to the D7100.  If you own a D7100, I doubt you would have any reason to upgrade.  

Nikon has had a series of problems with each new camera body it has released as of late.  Everything from thermal dot issues, lens flare problem, dust issue and wifi security flaws.  I would assume Nikon is going to put some serious testing in this camera to make sure it works well.  To compound the problem for Nikon they just recently reported they failed to meet earnings estimates for the 3rd quarter.

Let's hope this camera is a success for the company even if it is not a ground breaking camera.  Here are the expected specs for the D7200:

  • New 24MP APS-C sensor
  • Nikon D750 styled body with a tilting screen
  • Expeed 4 processor
  • MultiCAM 3500DX2 autofocus system
  • 51 AF points
  • Built-in Wi-Fi
  • 6fps
  • Buffer: 16 RAW+JPG
  • Video: 1080p @60 and 720p @120 (not sure about 4k)
  • Video aperture will be adjustable during live view
  • Expected announcement in the first few months of 2015
