Nikon D7xxx owners thread

The camera should be fine once it's fixed and yes good service from HDEW.

I used to have a Fuji and X10 until Yv (mod) bought it from me. Anyway I'm a poor OAP so can't afford to have GAS like you ;)
 
I am missing my D7000 since switching to a Lumix G6, i felt with the D7000 i could pick it up and use it with my eyes closed. My lumix G6 still feels alien to me:(
 
Never had the focus issues with D50 but on the D7000 still playing with getting it set correctly for each lens very frustrating
 
My D7200 should be here at the end of the week. Just sold my D7100 so I will be Nikonless for a few days. I'm looking forward to the bigger buffer and low light af.

I also couldn't resist the Easter sale on digital Rev. Bought the d7200 with an SB 910. Hope to get it later this week. Can't wait[emoji5]️
 
Mine arrived today From panomoz. Ordered Thursday so pretty pleased with delivery speed. Battery charging. Only gripes so far are chinese instruction manual and no lcd cover.
 
Mines UK sourced and I didn't get a lcd cover either. Nikon has a manual online that you can save to a mobile device, a lot more convenient than a 395 page booklet!!
I'm not sure if this has been covered, but to use NXD with the 7200 you need version 1.2. I had 1.1 which didn't work. I clicked on check for updates and message centre didn't find one for it. I eventually identified the problemd and had to get the updated version off the Nikon website manually.
 
The D7100 doesn't have an LCD cover, so not sure if the D7200 will have either

Looking at all the pictures i have seen of it i don't think it will have either as there is nowhere for it to clip to

I just bought a pack of those screen protectors like you get for smart phones, had mine over 10 months and still using the original one i put on, still no scuffs on the screen either
 
what LCD cover do Nikon supply as standard on any DSLR
 
on every nikon camera I've had I've had a plastic lcd cover come with it. D90, d7000, d610, d810.
 
Yes, the D7000 had one, but was dropped with the introduction of the D7100 for some reason

Both my old D300 and D700 had them too
 
The d7100 is glass screen apparently and scratch resistant so no need for protectors! They a pain anyway! Dust gets behind em and then rubs on screen like sandpaper and makes more of a mess! Get a stick on glass one or just keep it clean

Every Nikon I've had has had the screen protector, and every one of them has stayed in the box - never used them as they are more of a PITA than a benefit

I'm interested in the D7200 hence a post to keep me abreast of your thoughts guys when you've got them :)

Same here! They are rubbish!!!!
 
I used a Larmor protector on my D7100. My D7200 should be delivered on Thursday, I already have another Larmor protector ready to fit, but, as Mark says, it they are glass, then I might not bother.

I picked up my D7200 late last week and have spent today playing with different lenses and different settings. My previous camera was a D7000, so very similar.
The biggest improvement I've seen is in the ISO settings. I've had a look at shade outdoor and dark and light in my garage. In both conditions ISO 6400 was acceptable, 12,800 was useable if you don't crop, and anything under 3200 was for me absolutley fine. This is for me about 2 stops better than the D7000, where I didn't like to use ISO1600.
I've been setting up my long lenses with fine tune and so have an idea how the focus works. The main lens was a, new to me, 80-400 Nikon VR. I've been using this with a x1.7 and a x1.4 TC's and focus was fast and snappy in good light even though the x1.7 was at max F9. In my garage, i.e. dull, with the x1.7 the focus worked, but hunted a little, so hopefully it should be a very useful improvement in real world shooting.
So far so good, let's see what it's like when I take it out.

Sounds like it may have one stop on the D7100 then,i will use iso1600 but would prefer it looking like 800

Jez Spinx - how rough are you with your gear !!!

My 3 year old (unprotected) cameras could almost pass for 'as new' - footballs are round, they don't look like cameras mate ;)

I not rough with my gear, but accidents can happen.

Nothing wrong in trying to be preventive.:-)

Surprisining that the difference is so big, is that JPEG or RAW? Is it just better/more aggressive noise reduction algorithms?

I don't know what the difference is Dmac. I checked out the images in NXD using the RAW file with no PP, obviously just looking to see what is coming off the sensor. Since that post I've taken a few photos at dusk using 3200 and they are OK, I reckon a bit of PP and they'd be fine, so for me it's a good 2 stops better.
Of note is the fact that focus worked really quite well on a Blackbird in the shaded borders at dusk.
 
Any one using this with the Tamron 150-600,given Nikons habit of hindering other manufactures i would like confirmation the pair work well together.
 
Mine arrived yesterday and I spent the afternoon setting up micro adjustment on all my lenses and teleconverters. The AF unit is definitely different as many of my settings were completely different. I may need to fine tune them over time.
A couple of test shots with deliberate underexposure compared to the D7100 shows very little difference in noise and sharpness but you can tell it's a different sensor as it has the slightly warmer tones of the Sony compared to the Toshiba.
The menus are slightly different too, The need for two buttons to set iso for instance is gone and is more intuitive.

Have Nikon gone back to Sony for the D7200 sensor, is this confirmed?

When looking back at my pics recently, I prefered the look of the D7000 over the D7100. Could be my new monitor though or my porkies.:D
 
Looks like a sony sensor according to this :

http://www.dxomark.com/Reviews/Nikon-D7200-Preview-Performance-boost-for-Nikon-s-flagship-APS-C-DSLR
Given the same 24.2Mp resolution without an Optical Low Pass Filter, it appears that Nikon has opted to build the D7200 around the Sony-made 24.2Mp CMOS sensor currently sitting in its DX-format D3300 and D5500 entry-level DSLRs. With an overall DxOMark Sensor Score of 82, the D3300 has previously ranked among the top ten for APS-C image sensors in the DxOMark Sensor Score database, which is encouraging for the new D7200, and we look forward to bringing you a full set of sensor scores and review as soon as possible.

The current version of Adobe Camera Raw won't read D7200 NEF files, but there's a hack that gives a temporary workaround. If you get EXIFTOOL plus the windows GUI for the program you can read the EXIF and change the entry for Model from "NIKON D7200" to "NIKON D5500". The two sensors are similar enough that it seems to work ok. You can also click on the tab in the GUI "EXIFTOOL direct" to open a command line box to batch change a complete folder thus:
-Model="NIKON D5500" F:/"My Documents"/"My Pictures"/100D7200
Change the folder F: etc to your own raw picture folder.
Once Adobe catches up with a release that includes the new camera you can do the above again to change them back to D7200.
 
Mine has just arrived. Battery on charge. It came with the Sigma 18-35. Blimey, it's a lump. Let's hope they are keepers.
