Its a body for (mainly small) bird photography. If feather detail is better using a 24mp aps-c, then i'll look into getting a D7200. If not, then i'll stick with the D810 with often heavy cropping
I've just sold my D4, as i hardly used it really and its too expensive for the little use it got. I find the D810 much more a camera for my taste tbh. I'm also using the sale to fund a new lens. But i do like owning 2 bodies. If the D810 can perform as well as the D7200 in cropping etc, then i'll get a second hand D700I find the D7200 handy as a second cam with the Tam equipped but see little difference when it comes to detail. The increased Mpix of the D810 makes the crop advantage of the D7200 have less effect than compared to a 24Mpix FX. When shooting at max reach they're very similar but the D7200 loses that edge when you don't have to crop the D810 to the max.
What I find most interesting about the D7200 is that it no longer has gain in the shadows when using ISO which implies I can shoot it any way I like without having the loss I have with the other cams. The image quality is a bit lower compared to the max the D810 can deliver but all in all it's not that much of an issue when birding.

Hum, yeah, not alot in it at all. Truth be told i prefer to get the D700 as a back up general purpose body. But i'd not rule out a D7200 or the aps-c medium. Maybe when the fabled D400 comes out!............You can check the four shots I took to see the differences. I personally see too little difference to declare one of both the winner, at least at that level.
Just been reading on another forum they are talking about the D8xx not focusing quickly in low light and the D750 as far better,thinking of bird life in woodland you may want to consider this.
That's indeed correct, the D750 performs better and focuses faster in low light. I suppose the fact that its focal points are grouped closer together than the D810 has something to do with it. If there's plenty of light, I find the D810 better at grabbing and holding focus.
I know the D750 isnt what he wants but i just thought if the D8xx are not good in poor light for focus grabbing they could be not what he wants.
