I'm almost done writing my own review and then I'll record it. I find that the D7200 is definitely a great camera. People assume it isn't due to everything being so similar in terms of the D7200 and D7100 but to me the D7200 is a camera that's better than the sum of its parts. You need to actually try it out to see the difference.
I don't think anyone is saying that it isn't a great camera, people are just wondering whether it's worth it to upgrade from a D7100. Kind of like when the D750 came out and everyone was wondering if it's worth it to upgrade from the D610.
If I was upgrading from the D3100 like you just did, perhaps I would think about it.
Just seen this on another forum,the claim is no PP @ISO4500

Sunny day, no cropping.
I would guess so but not bad
Right. Not bad at all. I'm going to try and take a few shots in a minute with 4500 ISO outside and no cropping. I'ts a nice bright day outside. Lets if my D7100 comes close to it.
That will be interesting,go for it
This should be interesting...I'm going to upload them to Flickr at full rez and post a link. Give me few minutes. I'm looking in LR right now and results are a lot worse then the D7200. I shot them at Aperture priority with the 70-300mm VR lens, as I don't have Tamzooka like the D7200 guy, but that shouldn't make difference in noise. I shot them 4500 ISO and F13, just like your pick Mike.
While the 7100 is certainly no slouch at that ISO the 7200 looks cleaner to me by a decent stretch.Ok. Here is the link. Exif is intact. I have an hour before leaving for work, if anyone like to suggest a different settings or a different lens, I will try and accommodate.

I'm looking primarily at the darkest shadows I can find as the basis for that comment.
