I searched the internet and not sure whether it is normal or my camera is faulty and should be taken to service.Could you please check this video I created: <a href="https://youtu.be/mhdCMe2x8OE" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/mhdCMe2x8OE</a> I compare the startup and wake up from sleep with my old Nikon D90 which seems to be 3 times faster than the newer and more expensive Nikon D7200. Could you please compare your D7200 and share the experience with me? The slowness of my camera seems to be related to the C2 settings where one can set the lapse of time camera measures exposure values and stay awaken. As long as the camera is in the "awaken" mode everything works fine and when I press Menu button, i button, Playback button or Info button camera reacts immediately. However once the camera goes to sleep mode and I than press any of the buttons I mentioned it takes so much time (average 3 seconds of waiting and hourglass) to wake it up. Strange thing is that the camera access memory card which seems to slow it down. This slow wake up (and the same for turn camera on) is bit better when only one memory card is inserted and much better when no memory card is inserted. However with half full memory card(s) the camera becomes even slower than what you can see on the video. I tested it with several cards. The fastest 32 GB Sandisk SDs as well as the fastest 64 GB Kingston SDs. I also tried some older, slower but smaller (4 GB and 16 GB) cards and cannot see any difference. The only solution for this problem seems to be increasing the value of C2 to longer time which drains battery faster than when set to shorter time. I set 4 seconds only with my previous Nikon D90 and was happy with the performance. With D7200 I have C2 set to 30 seconds which is quite OK for normal use but since I am used to turn my camera off and on quite often I still need to wait for the slow reaction when turned on. In my eyes, this issue is even more annoying since Nikon decided to remove the white balance indicators as well as image quality indicators from the top display and therefore everytime I want to change white balance or quality when the camera is in sleep mode or immediately after turn on I must wait for 3+ seconds.I am really not sure whether this is performance one would expect from such expensive semi-profi camera and therefore I am asking you for help. Is this behaviour normal (compare with your own Nikon D7200) or should I take if to service? Another thing that surprised me after purchase was low battery life. With the D90 I was able to get up to 1800 frames on one battery (average bit over 1000) but with D7200 I have not even reached 1000 frames on one battery and I usually change new battery after some 600-800 frames with similar setup and usage as on D90 (shooting RAW+JPG, no flash, average 10 picture per battery with live view and 10 pictures per battery with longer exposure - 5s+ - times, using playback or menus rarely). Thank you for watching my video, comparing with your D7200 experience and sharing it with me.Unhappy Nikon D7200 user. </blockquote>
