Originally posted by MikeD If you look closely at the D7200 it ain't so "amazing" burst is sorta sad at 6fps vs 8.3 for the K3ii, battery life is not up to the K3ii, buffer small compared to the K3ii this is really big if you are shooting raw, IQ is very similar since they both have the same sensor. The D7200 is also bulkier. The K3ii has pixel shift which under "controlled" circumstances can meet or beat many FF. Where the D7200 comes out on top is the autofocus and video as it has 1080p at 60fps.
I do not have a K3ii I am waiting for the upgrade.
Dear Pentax 1978
Ok -so in my original post saying that the D7200 wasn't so Amazing - I posted several areas where the K3II was better- I did say the d7200 had better auto focus. I also said that the Pentax had a much better burst rate as well a other things, that is still true. While you may be correct that the D7200 has a better keeper rate on continuous focus. Which I admitted to, burst rate has MANY other uses than just taking a picture of a bird. Also I would prefer to use manual focus for many wildlife shots because if your lens front or back focuses even a tiny bit it will be off in the distances quite often used in wildlife shooting.
So Dear Pentax 1978 please don't pick one small sentence out of a whole post to make an argument and if you love the D7200 so much why don't you just go buy one, hell! buy two!
