Hey all
Thought I'd share my experience last weekend with a D7200 / MB-d15 combination at round 6 of the 2015 AMA National Motocross Series. The camera literally arrived on Wednesday afternoon where I quickly set it up with a couple tweaks in the submenus.
I've debated for months (actually years) on whether it was time to pull the trigger on another Nikon DX camera after moving to full frame FX bodies completely in 2012 where I've owned a D700 and a D3s in the past and currently shoot with a D4 and a D800.
As with a lot of you out there I've been waiting for the elusive D400 pro framed DX camera to magically appear but to no avail I got sick of holding my breath.
I cut my teeth on Nikon digital DSLRs in 2003 with a D100 and D1x moving away from Nikons F4s and N90s film bodies (my professional photojournalism career began in the mid 80's where I shot almost exclusively with an F3 and FM2 combo for nearly 10 years.)
Over the years I moved up the Nikon DX ladder shooting with a D70s and a D300s and even shot both DX and FX for a couple of years when I shot with a D700 / D300s combo.
My favorite Nikon mount lenses are my AF-s 17-35mm, a 70-200mm VRii G and a 200mm f/2 VRi but also own a 14mm, 24mm 1.4, 50mm 1.8, 85 1.4, 24-70mm G and 80-400 G VRii where they perform beautifully on FX bodies.
When shooting telephoto sports and trying to isolate my subject I Normally pair the 200mm with the D800 and crop when I need extra reach, but the limited buffer and smaller cropped files don't meet the standards that magazines need so when the D7200 showed up with 24mp file size and expanded buffer I thought it was time to try the pro-sumer DX body hoping that the pro DX body shows up eventually.
All image are shot with a nearly WFO aperture in "A mode" where my objective was to see if the D7200 could nail focus.
I think the results speak for themselves.
I've also included a link to a Smugmug gallery if anybody wants to pixel peek a little.
