Nikon D7200 Touch Screen

[Shawana Kallhoff]

Toplay photographs back, press the K button. The most recent photograph will be displayed in the monitor. Additional pictures can be displayed by flicking left or right or pressing 4 or 2; to view additional information on the current photograph, press 1 or 3 (0 Photo Information).

To view multiple images, press the W (Z) button when a picture is displayed full frame. The number of images displayed increases from 4 to 9 to 72 each time the W (Z) button is pressed, and decreases with each press of the X button. Slide a finger over the touch screen to scroll up or down or use the multi selector to highlight images.

Use the touch screen or multi selector to highlight dates in the date list; the pictures taken on the selected date appear in the thumbnail list. Pressing J or the W (Z) places the cursor in the thumbnail list, where you can use the multi selector to select images for full-frame playback, playback zoom (0 Taking a Closer Look: Playback Zoom), protection (0 Protecting Photographs from Deletion), or deletion (0 Deleting Photographs), or press and hold the X (T) button to view the currently highlighted picture full frame. Press the W (Z) button to return to the date list. To exit to 72-frame playback, press the X (T) button when the cursor is in the date list.

When On is selected for Image review in the playback menu (0 Image Review), photographs are automatically displayed in the monitor after shooting (because the camera is already in the correct orientation, images are not rotated automatically during image review). In continuous release modes, display begins when shooting ends, with the first photograph in the current series displayed.

Use stretch and pinch gestures to zoom in and out and slide to scroll (0 Taking a Closer Look: Playback Zoom). You can also give the display two quick taps to zoom in from full-frame playback or cancel zoom.

Tap the on-screen guide to start movie playback (movies are indicated by a 1 icon). Tap the display to pause or resume, or tap 6 to exit to full-frame playback (note that some of the icons in the movie playback display do not respond to touch-screen operations).

The flip out touch screen works well. I really like being able to face the screen forward shooting selfie videos (you might have noticed a bunch on the blog over the past month). You can quickly adjust exposure settings right from the touch screen. The only downer is that there is no way to start or stop video recording from the touch screen. (Also, I picked up this excellent screen protector for the screen and you can check out a blog post about it here)

The rear monitor on the Nikon D7200 is not touch sensitive. All interactions with the camera's firmware, thus, have to be entered through buttons and dials on the camera body. While this method of operating a camera might not be as intuitive as a touch interface and requires the photographer to memorize the functions of the external controls, it avoids accidental setting changes from unitentional contacts with the screen.

As can be seen from the rear-side image, the 3.2-inch LCD occupies a large part of the backside of the camera. For comparison, the diagonal on a standard credit card measures 4 inches.

The table below compares the rear screen specs of the Nikon D7200 to those of several similar cameras. Additionally, the table includes some information on other core features, such as the viewfinder, shutter, flash, and image stabilization system.

With the arrival of the Nikon D7500, things have got a little more complex for the photographer looking to make the upgrade to a more advanced DSLR. Do you opt for Nikon's latest enthusiast-focused DSLR, or save your pennies and get the slightly older (but still very capable) D7200?

You might have lost a few pixels, but this amount is negligible in real-world tests, while the pay-off is a much more flexible ISO range. Whereas the D7200 has an ISO range of 100-25,600, the D7500 offers an extra stop more at 51,200. That's not all, as the extended range up to a staggering ISO equivalent of 1,640,000.

While we'd avoid using the ISO ceiling unless really necessary, the ISO performance across the board is that much bit better than the D7200, while it's also possible to shoot as low as ISO50, making the D7500 that bit more versatile if you want to get creative with long exposures or use fast prime lenses in bright light.

The D7500 does offer a few more tricks though, with the addition of a Group-Area AF mode found on the D500, as well as a higher resolution metering sensor over the D7200 for improved tracking capabilities. The 180,000-pixel RGB sensor on the D7500 is much more sophisticated than the 2,016-pixel chip on the D7200.

While the 6fps burst shooting speed of the D7200 is solid enough, the D7500 is that bit quicker at 8fps. That's not the whole story, as the D7500's bigger buffer will allow you to continue shooting at this faster rate for 50 shots (that's uncompressed 14-bit raw files as well). A big step-up from the D7200's 18 shot buffer at 6fps.

The tilt-angle touchscreen certainly has its advantages. Framing of shots in Live View is that bit easier with the D7500's flip-out display, while the ability to tap-to-focus (you can also tap the area of the screen where you want to focus and trigger the shutter at the same time) and swiping to review images makes handling that bit more polished.

The one downside is the dip in screen resolution, with the D7500's 922,000-dot resolution not quite a match for the D7200's 1,299,000 dots. However, in use we found this to not massively impact on the user experience, with a decent amount of clarity and good color rendition shown.

Compared to the D7200, the handgrip on the D7500 is that bit deeper. The D7200 has the luxury of being able to accommodate an optional vertical battery grip - useful if you shoot in portrait-format regularly, but Nikon hasn't (for now at least) released a grip for the D7500.

The D7200 can shoot Full HD footage at up to 60fps, but the D7500 is bang up to date and can shoot 4K footage at 30fps, and can do this for up to 30 minutes. As well as shooting in 4K, the D7500 can shoot Full HD footage at 60fps, while 4K UHD timelapse movies can be created in-camera, and there's electronic Vibration Reduction to reduce the impact of camera shake when shooting movies hand-held.

The D7200 sports dual SD card slots, allowing you to set the camera up to record different media or file formats to each card (you can shoot stills on one, and video would be recorded on the other for instance, or raw files on one and JPEGs on the other), or the second slot can be used as an overflow for the first card. The D7500 on the other hand features a single SD card slot, which will no doubt be a disappointment for some potential buyers. With larger capacity cards being more affordable than ever, as well as being less inclined to throw-up a card error, a second slot isn't quite as vital.

If you're looking to upgrade from a D3xxx camera like the D3400 or D5xxx camera like the D5600, we reckon the D7500 is the way to go. The improved performance and noise handling over the D7200, as well as the tilt-angle screen give it the edge. Again, D7000 and D7100 users will also be better served by the D7500. D7200 users though should hold tight, unless you're itching to upgrade, in which case we'd say skip the D7500 and get the D500.
