NIKON D7200, FOR THOSE SAILING BETWEEN TWO WATERS: PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO

NIKON D7200, FOR THOSE SAILING BETWEEN TWO WATERS: PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO

It is inevitable to be tempted by the news. They take out new products to seduce us, they do have improvements, of course, but it is indisputable that there is a higher percentage of marketing than anything else, don't you think? But hey, this is not today's debate, but the topic I am going to discuss in this article is the new camera that Nikon launched in March this year: the D7200. I will show it to you, just as if it were an acquaintance, I present it to you, I tell you what it is called, what it does, what hobbies it has and then you already go deeper and decide if you let yourself be seduced by him or by her or not

Nikon D7200

WHO IS THIS CAMERA FOR?

In the blog I have (and have) commented many times that there is no perfect camera, nor a camera for everyone. There is the right camera for each person, according to their preferences or skills. Just as there is no perfect racket for any tennis player, there is no camera for any photography lover. This camera is ideal for you if you have been submerged in this ocean for some time , that is, if you already have a previous baggage with manual control cameras and your beginner's SLR has fallen short; if you like both photography and video; if you are one of those who risk the equipment with extreme sports related to sand, dust or water; and if you are a night bird, it can also be for you if you are thinking of starting to make a report on request. If it is going to be your first camera of this type, better check out other cameras for beginners, surely your pocket will thank you. So that you place yourself in this maelstrom of cameras, models, levels, etc., I leave you a pretty illuminating image-map of Nikon.

NEWS

If they did not introduce novelties they could not justify the new models they present and with a higher price, so except for some more revolutionary ones, the companies are dedicated to introducing small variations. The novelties of the D7200 are these:
      • It is the first Nikon DSLR that presents the NFC system . Do not worry that I quickly explain what these acronyms derived from «Near Field Communication» mean. It simply means that you can send images directly from the camera to a mobile device if you have the free Nikon Wireless Mobile Utility application .
    • It is compatible with a new Nikon ME-W1 wireless microphone (optional) that can capture sound up to a distance of 50 meters.
    • They have introduced a specific menu for video settings and advanced options for audio control.

MAIN FEATURES

Apart from the news, below I tell you the most important features of this camera.
    • 24´2 megapixels that offer you excellent print quality in your extensions. Also very useful for those who have the habit of trimming on the computer (I strongly recommend that you cut in the scene and approach if necessary, but hey, in emergencies this megapixel pixel saves you).
    • 51 points: do you know what that is? Well, one pass. You can focus in a very, very precise way, but this camera allows you to do it very quickly.
    • ISO 100-25.600: beyond the numerical values, this camera works very well in low light conditions. You won't have to fear noise with her
    • Autonomy: if you are fast finger and on an exit (or escape) you shoot a thousand photos, do not worry that you will not have to take the charger. Unless what you want is to record video, even so, you have up to 80 minutes of recording, which is enough.
    • Wi-Fi: Having built-in Wi-Fi allows you, among other things, to shoot remotely from a mobile device.
    • Resistant to dust and moisture. That's why I told you that it was ideal for you if you love taking photos in more extreme conditions.
    • Dual slot for SD memory cards. This allows for more recording time and greater security, if a card breaks down at an important time ... you are safe!
    • Excellent video recording . Videos with maximum definition (Full HD) and also allows, for example, to set the ISO value automatically when working in manual mode, in this way, the transition between light and shadow areas is much smoother.
If this summary seems somewhat poor because you are one of those who are read to the last point of the small print, you can quench your curiosity here .

DX FORMAT

You know that in the blog we do not like technicalities and words that we do not know, so I will explain very simply what the DX format of this camera implies. Nikon has two types of sensors, one smaller (DX) and one larger (FX):
Difference size sensors DX and FX format
This means that the image undergoes a small "clipping." The difference between a photograph with DX or FX format can be seen in the following image.
 
Actually, the most important thing to know is that the lenses of both formats are used for this camera, while for FX cameras only FX lenses are used. This is an advantage, don't you think?

WHY RECORD VIDEO WITH THE D7200?

I have already commented that great videos are recorded with this camera .If a picture is worth a thousand words and shows a button, what better than a sequence of images or buttons for you to see more clearly? In case you have been wanting more or with doubts, here is another video of scenes recorded with this camera. And by the way we honor the followers of our dear Argentina's blog

OFFICIAL VIDEO PRESENTATION

For those who like more to see than to read and who prefer all mascadito, or for those who are in a hurry, here I leave the video that Nikon prepared for its presentation. A summary of just two minutes

GALLERY

And since this is a photography blog, what interests you is to see some images taken with the D7200, right? Well here are some:

PRICES

This aspect is quite important, we could not pass up because it is one of the most important when deciding. On Amazon you find it for € 761.52 euros.

ASSESSMENT

It is a fairly versatile camera, very fast in focus and offering great quality in detail. Video recording is exquisite even in low light conditions and is resistant to dust and moisture. The novelties that it presents are more revolutionary at the level of video than of photography, so if this is not your forte, better stay with an earlier model. Nor is it the lightest camera on the market nor does it have the flip screen so desired by some, but ... what did you want? You already know that there is no perfect camera as there are no perfect people
