Hi Bruce,
No, I'm not an Adobe fan ... just not an intuitive program and my PP skills are terrible ... maybe I should fix that. I'll check yout OnOne PhotoSuite. Thanks for the tip.
As for the feel of the D7200, not too bad with the grip. My biggest issue was getting my thumb on the AF-L button ... the size of the camera is just enough different that I had to search around with my thumb ... missed a few shots due to that, but that will fix itself soon enough.
Over-all, I like the new camera. It's an interesting cross between my old D70s and the D300 in terms of control layout, so not bad. The D300 is ultimately better in that area, but the D7200 out-performs it in both AF and IQ.
Oh, and I did hit the butter limit twice. Once just testing it in an action sequence which turned out to go the wrong way, so no keepers (compositionally) and the other was just a long play that was all over the place. This buffer will work just fine for me. The D7100 would have been a non-starter.
Cheers,
Andre

Andre,
While we shoot different genres (I'm a wildlife/nature guy), it seems that we have encountered similar issues. The D7200 is a much better body with the grip than without, but it does not have that secure and solid feel of the D300/D700/D800 design. If Nikon were to have plunked the same sensor and AF module in the D300 body, I would be fine for years. I'm willing to work with the slower fps, but would gladly pay $500 more for the build that comes with a pro-designed body.
The buffer has been adequate for me as well. I've hit the limit on three occasions now, and have used the body for about 3 months shooting a variety of subjects at home and abroad. Other than the consumer/pro-sumer design, I've got only a few quibbles that have easy work-arounds.
I look forward to seeing some shots as you become increasingly comfortable with the camera.
As for OnOne... check out this link. I think you'll get an idea about how the editor works: this shows you the speed. When you purchase the program you get their raw editor, the ability to use layers and has a really nice effects package. I use the program in conduction with LR and PS... I like it.
cheers
