[QUOTE="Pocono_ACE, post: 670156, member: 44850"] Timely post; I just bought a D7200 from Unique Photo (Fairfield, NJ). Same price as B&H/Adorama, same free shipping, same no sales tax, and they threw in a free spare battery (Yashica brand) and shoulder bag. You made good points about Nikon's apparent move toward abandoning the serious hobbyist. The cameras below the D7000 series don't meet my needs, and as nice as it would be to have a D850, I'm in no position to buy a $3300 camera. D7200 seems to fit the bill right now. A number of people on this forum have pointed to the dual card slots as an important feature. I've never gotten into shooting RAW (although maybe I will someday), and as for in-camera backup, I'm wondering how much of an issue that is. I'll take a shot at answering my own question. On occasion, when looking at photos on the card I've taken out of my camera, I'll find that one or two have somehow become corrupted. If I had a second card slot for in-camera backup, is it likely that those pictures would be good on the backup card? Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
