The huge burst rate, fast focusing while tracking action coupled with the ability to push ISO indoors.....performance that I want shooting surf and NCAA hoops.....among other things. Landscapes, portraits even birding not my thing currently or at least of less interest.  My D700 is stellar in these action aspects of course but I can't afford a 500 to 600 tele like the sponsored shooters I see on shore so DX for surf is where it is at for me to bring the target in closer. In the gym the D700 with my 80-200 F2.8 is excellent.  The D7200 is a great, fantastic camera, but it is not a pro level sports shooter. It also does not have the pro level layout that has become second nature to me. Again, I think Nikon has been leaving a big market segment on the table. The D400 is necessary if Nikon is to cover all the DSLR bases. I also have only taken a brief spin with the D7200 so perhaps I am selling it a bit short. It's knocked out of consideration for me due to the different layout. If I insulted any loyal users I apologize. I think a combo kit of a D610/D750 and a D7100/D7200 is magnificent and have said so many times on the forums. I would be ecstatic to own that kit.  The frustration to me is that as soon as the D400 hits the marketplace it knocks Canon back on their heels immediately. We all know the Nikon AF in the pro cameras is unbeatable...match that up with the upgraded specs discussed and wow......IMHO YMMV of course.</blockquote>
