Why don't you shoot at native ISO with the D7200 and do the rest in post. It does not have any shadow improvement when upping the ISO (compared to other models) which makes it a feature only justifiable when shooting JPEG.
Frustrated to the brink of smashing camera :D

Sad to say ime happy shooting the way i do.
We all shoot like we want to shoot but just in case;
ISO Invariance: What it is, and which cameras are ISO-less

Interesting article I still had rather see the correct exposure in my camera.
It's getting used to the underexposed shots, in the end it's like during the film days but instead of negatives, you have "unexposed" shots.

I understand the concept but having a modern digital camera means I can see what I get now and not have to wait till I get home and hope what I have will work. Why take a step back when there is nothing that gain. With Auto ISO set correctly with self imposed limits I can get the best quality for the conditions I am shooting in right now

There is gain which is the reason to use it. You keep your full DR, don't blow any highlights and can then in post adjust it all to your liking. It's a bit more work but in the end, even that becomes a habit. And it's only for those shots that require ISO to be bumped to gain either shutter or aperture.
The D750 and D810 however are not completely without loss, contrary to what is suggested in the article. The D7200 is.
I am much happier with my AF-C shots since I'm using single point and not any of the D-9 and D-21 settings. Having said that, I have some practice now, and are much better at tracking my subjects without much difficulty.
My limited experience is with the D5300, but I think as far as focus goes, it can be compared. I find that using BBF & AF-C for BIF, I like 9 point, but birds in trees and similar stuff, single point works best. BIF usually are in a clear sky, so the 9 point just has to lock on the bird where in trees etc. the 9 point does too much hunting between the bird and the surrounding branches, etc. I think you just have to determine your shooting conditions and style to determine what settings will work at the time.
Let me also add that if I understand the focus point system, the camera is only using one of the 9 points for focus (or one of the 51, etc.) at a time. The camera uses the focus point within the 9 or 51 or whatever chosen number available that is closest to an area of the most contrast to focus on. That is why single point is better for subjects surrounded by "busy" stuff.
Yes, the camera can only focus on one point at a time. You are also correct with the rest of your post.
