Nikon D7200 camera additional coverage

Nikon-D7200-with-battery-grip

→ Some additional Nikon D7200 coverage – first a quick feedback from a reader:

I’m disappointed with the top status LCD display which has been downgraded and now displays less info than the previous models (D7000/7100):

Shutter sound is crispier but I don’t know if means more reliable/durable than before. Other aspects of the camera are similar to that of the D7100. The virtual status display (on the rear monitor) has an updated format which I find it not easy to get used to. However, as with the D7100 I cannot activate the virtual status display via the LCD backlight lever.

Perhaps the biggest disappointment is the shutter actuation which, like on the 7100, is not as tactile as on the 7000. It’s easy to half-press for AF but actuation is another story.
