Thanks for the replies. Yes I think the D7200 is better for birds. It only surprised me that the LCD screen is a fixed one, as I photograph also flowers, it would be handy to have an articulated screen. I see on the internet rumors about D400. Maybe we hear more about it when the show is on in Seattle. It also depends on what the price of that one will be. And the new telezoom 200-500 is not too expensive, so maybe that'll be a nice combo.
