Nikon D7200: A tradition continues

2016-01-27
though it's a great camera the Nikon d70 200 makes the almost three year old d70 100 look like a terrific deal with only minor improvements over its predecessor and given the d70 100's lower price the d70 200 becomes a tough sell unless you're a night owl or a long burst shooter I'm Laurie grunion and this is the Nikon d70 200 what are the updates some improvements in buffering for burst shooting and improved image quality above ISO 1600 plus 2 black and white high ISO modes and time-lapse movie creation the camera also gains wireless connectivity but Nikon zap is one of the least capable I've seen among auto ISO support and a flat color profile are welcome for movie shooting shooting video with the camera remains a trying experience its design is unchanged it retains the comfortable grip and solid dust and weather-sealed build quality of its predecessor and overall it's still a well-designed camera with a logical shooting design the biggest drawback of having not updated the body design though is that we're stuck with the fixed LCD and for the most part it has the three year old feature set autofocus is excellent in continuous shooting it achieves up to a 90% hit rate of sufficiently InFocus photos and that's both panning or photographing a subject that's moving towards you Nikon added Wi-Fi to this model with tap to initiate NFC but the company's app offers only the most basic capabilities you can view and copy photos from the camera to your mobile device or use your phone as a one press remote shutter the only control you have with the remote app is to choose your focus point another problem is the cannot believe it works this way video controls the camera supports manual settings but you can't change them while you're in movie mode to change shutter speed or aperture you have to exit live you make your changes and then reenter live you the d70 to hundreds a great camera for the money as long as you really don't care about anything beyond photo quality and speed for more detail read my review of an on CNET
