What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Nikon D7200 DSLR Camera + 18-105 mm VR Lens

It still feels and handles just like a NIkon. Not small, but just right. Beautifully made and works like a dream.
The camera is sturdy, well balanced and comfortable in hand. Without the lens it is very light considering what it is.
I love the size, the battery life, the solid feel of the metal body, and of course, the quality of the images.
The weight difference between the D5300 and the D7200 is noticeable (the D7200 is heavier), and it's not uncomfortable to hold.
The only thing i did not like is the weight. I got this as a step up from my D300 but im missing how heavy it is.

Canon EOS 80D Digital SLR Camera with 18-55 mm IS STM Lens Body, 18-55 mm Lens - Black

I am loving this, once I had found out how to change the language from Chinese into English, superb weight of camera, and first results of the photos are pleasing.
The 80d is very similar to the 70d, it's like they're twin brothers in terms of build, size, shape and weight.
The weight - its pretty hefty but not uncomfortably so and it feels really good to hold.
Personally I like the weight and feel of the camera; it's well balance with my everyday 18-55 zoom, comfortable to hold for long periods and the menu screen is an absolute picture of clarity.
The only downside is the weight when compared to the 100d, a lot heavier.

What customers say about "Imaging"

Nikon D7200 DSLR Camera + 18-105 mm VR Lens

ISO range is very wide and makes flash photography mostly unnecessary. I could go on for ages and am still learning.
It handles higher ISO very well. I'm very big on night photography. I usually will set the camera on 3200 - 6400 ISO and this has done an amazing job at keeping noise levels down and preserving detail.
Low light and high ISO settings performance are much better and the focusing system is extremely good.
The D7200's snappier autofocus especially in low light blew me away I was honestly not expecting it to be so good and it's high ISO capability is better than any APS-C DSLR.
It soon became apparent that it had a few shortcomings, ie the buffer size, focus hunting in low light and a less than impressive dynamic range.

Canon EOS 80D Digital SLR Camera with 18-55 mm IS STM Lens Body, 18-55 mm Lens - Black

This camera takes some fantastic pictures with minimal effort using the Auto function.
I am loving this camera - the quality is, in my opinion, great. It was quite an outlay but I am hoping it is going to be worth it in improved quality of the photos I will be taking.
Great images from both photos and video. The full HD recording is excellent and only noticeable to the highest examination.
I have had a 40D for the past 8 years and loved it. The 80D feels lighter, deals with low light much better and the image quality overall is much improved.
The image quality is great and the ISO performance is pretty good for non-fullframe.

What customers say about "Display"

Nikon D7200 DSLR Camera + 18-105 mm VR Lens

The screen is nice and bright and the viewfinder gives you 100% coverage, what you see is what you get.
LCD screen is a very obvious improvement: not much bigger but a lot brighter and clearer.
A flip-out LCD screen would be a nice feature to have but, this is the right camera for me. Top LCD screen simplified and uncluttered.
The one button selects turn on the display and are not all available on the LCD. This is annoying at night.
The only thing I do not like is that live view screen isn't fixed, no tilt!

Canon EOS 80D Digital SLR Camera with 18-55 mm IS STM Lens Body, 18-55 mm Lens - Black

The touchscreen is excellent and really useful being able to flip the screen. Great value and still a great performer.
Great screen that's able to flip so if you are looking at the camera head-on you can see if you are in the shot.
The fold out touchscreen is brilliant. You can either have it out to use live view for shooting movies or it folds into the back of the camera.
The controls are very easy to navigate, using the big touch screen. Recommended.
The handy flip out screen for the low or high shots is great. A nice little feature is the multiple exposure which I've been playing with, it might be a gimmick but I like it.

What customers say about "Features"

Nikon D7200 DSLR Camera + 18-105 mm VR Lens

The camera is a little daunting. It has buttons and knobs and two screens. You can reprogram most of the buttons and knobs.
The camera is very robust, the quality of the image impressive. There are an impressive number of options for everything, autofocus in particular.
The D7200 offers accurate focus, white balance and flesh tone color balance, exceeding my expectations.
Controls are fairly familiar after years with the D80, the virtual horizon feature is not the gimmick I suspected but really useful!
There's also as the normal manual, shutter and aperture priority, a pretty good programmed auto, and a myriad of customisable functions, settings and buttons.

I was concerned it might be a complex piece of kit but its well thought out and easy to get away from Auto mode and into more interesting shooting modes.
Two own custom presets that sets camera into the mode you need regarding everything, apart from the creative and basic ones - just turn the knob to C1 or C2 mode.
This is the best DSLR I have ever had. Very good quality and easy to use. Very intuitive menu.
I love the camera. Works like a beast... professional quality photos... Latest tech (Wi-Fi, touch screen) and features.
I'll start with the only negative thing about this camera, which is the build quality - the 50D was full magnesium alloy, however this feels a bit plasticky, despite having a partial metal chassis.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Nikon D7200 DSLR Camera + 18-105 mm VR Lens

The camera is fast. The ability to connect via wifi to my iPhone and grab pictures is great. You will love this camera and use it for years.
The NFC works great no issues and the WiFi is build in no issues with that.
Thanks to NFC and Wi-Fi, I can easily take photos and transfer photos directly to my phone. Most notably, it has TWO SD card slots whereas the D7500 does not.
The only thing I'm not over struck on is the Wifi and NFC - these seem to be aimed at connecting to a mobile device of some description.
NFC works with WiFi to turn on and off the connection. You are better off buying a remote for the camera than trying to use a smart phone.

Canon EOS 80D Digital SLR Camera with 18-55 mm IS STM Lens Body, 18-55 mm Lens - Black

This camera has excellent and high-quality ports, in my previous model it was flimsy.
The camera is equipped with a fast usb port and a cool screen, in general I am very pleased.
A decent camera that is comfortable to hold and take great pictures that I store on my SD card.
Camera won’t recognise any sd cards and i’m not in a position where i can return it right now, missing out on once in a lifetime photos.
Unfortunately, the USB port no longer recognizes the cable, what am I punished for? I treated this camera like a child!
