Nikon has officially announced the D7200 DSLR camera, which replaces the D7100 with a host of improvements, including a new autofocus system and a longer battery life.

Following months of rumors, the Nikon D7200 is finally official. The new DSLR camera is taking over the higher-end APS-C reigns from the D7100, while the whole world is still waiting for a D300s successor.

The Japan-based company says that this new shooter is here to allow photographers to master their next photographic challenges with this fast, lightweight, and powerful DSLR.

The D7100 features a 24.1-megapixel APS-C sensor without an optical low-pass filter and with a native ISO sensitivity range between 100 an 6,400, which could be expanded up to 25,600. The Nikon D7200 comes packed with a 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor without an OLPF and with a 100-25,600 native ISO sensitivity range. This is very similar to what the D5500 offers, so it is very likely that the two sensors are identical.

The new D7200 is powered by an EXPEED 4 image processor, which is an improvement over the EXPEED 3 processor found in the D7100. The Advanced Multi-CAM 3500II DX autofocus system is new as well, although it offers the same amount of AF points and cross-type points as the D7100: 51 AF points, 15 of them being cross-type.

Nikon D7200 is an incremental upgrade over the D7100, but the new model has learned some useful tricks. The new DSLR features built-in WiFi and NFC, both allowing photographers to transfer files wirelessly to a smartphone or tablet. Moreover, users can remotely control their camera using a mobile device.

The buffer of the DSLR is bigger and the continuous shooting mode stands at up to 6fps. The improved buffer supports up to 100 JPEG photos and up to 18 shots of 14-bit RAW files. If the quality of the RAW files is set to 12-bit, then the buffer can hold up to 27 shots.

The battery life is now slated at 1,110 shots on a single charge, up from the 950 shots of its predecessor. The Flat picture control added to the D5500 is now available in the D7200, too.

Nikon D7200 is weathersealed, so it will be resistant to dust and water droplets, just like its predecessor. Its body weighs 675 grams / 23.81 ounces and measures about 136 x 107 x 76mm / 5.35 x 4.21 x 2.99 inches.
