Nikon deserves one DxOMark Trophies:
The RAW file more properly cooked inside the camera
Yet D7200 is a great camera.

And once again, it is a test of the sensor, not the camera.....
This makes as much sense as testing the motors in a Lamborghini and a F350 pickup truck and concluding that the Lamborghini will do a better job pulling a hay wagon out of a muddy field because it has a better engine.
The test here shows that the Nikon has the better sensor, so LABEL THE STORY AS "NIKON SENSOR IS BETTER"!, not that it is a better camera because that was not tested....

and you can't put two canoes on the roof, gear and food for two weeks in the back, pick up three passengers, and head down a rough dirt road to the river.....neuroanatomist said:Don Haines said:

Look at the results, the Nikon clearly wins.
Looking at the chart they obviously pencil whipped the results as evidenced by the fact that they never even removed the Nikon's body cap.
Apparently we need to have Jackie Chan oversee the next round of testing...

Damn, and DPReview have just proclaimed the Samsung NX1 as the ultimate mega APS king with whipped cream and cherries on top, despite the fact that the AF struggles in poor light... or unless you're using one of two lenses... or...

Are you saying the sum of the parts isn't greater than the whole? How dare you question them? Just because you can't use the camera in a lot of situations and it's performance is lacking in others, doesn't mean it's not the greatest camera ever. DR at ISO 100 is all that matters!lintoni said:

Wow, an overall score of 87, that's fantastic!
Just be sure to tell that to the moose and bald eagle next time you see one, and surely they'll line up to have their pictures taken.
Unless the moose is wearing tight plaid, then he probably wants a film camera.

The point that really needs to sink in is the d7200 is now 13.8 stops of measured EV AT SCREEN RESOLUTION
That's pretty much the theoretical limit.
So this leaves room for 16 bit ADCs next
While Canon is still providing, uhm, let's see.... Oh my, 11.1 with the 7d2 :-[
Canon's better at hi ISO?....
nope!
iso 6400 has the d7200 beating the 7d2 by 0.6 EV
(and at every other point on the chart)
What else you ask?..
Yes, the D7200 also has 2/3 stop better color (metamerism) response as well.
Bwah hahaha! ;D sorry, couldn't resist. I don't have a d7200 but I'll consider it as an upgrade next time I need a new Nikon crop body.

Ya!
Well, if anyone's suggesting that the very impressive sensor measurements of the d7200 are a distraction to a camera that's, somehow, overall lacking in capability, they can go ahead and point out what might be lacking from the rest of the product to support that insinuation.
Here, I'll start;
- dang, it only shoots 6 fps so I'm less likely to be able to catch a bird in flight with it's wings in exactly the right position.
OTOH, you'll be able to shoot a blackbird flying away from you, into a sunset, and still lift the dark portions in post enough to make out its vent.
worthwhile tradeoff?
