The Nikon D7200 has been officially unveiled as a successor to the popular D7100. The highlighted new features of the D7200 included the faster EXPEED 4 image processor, increased buffer capacity and built-in WiFi and NFC connectivity.
The increased speed from the EXPEED 4 processor now allows the camera to shoot 18 consecutive RAW 14-bit lossless compressed images, 27 12-bit compressed shots or 100 JPEG frames at up to 6 frames per second.

So what happened to much reported rotating LCD screen?
Maybe there’s hope for a D400, I had planned on buying this camera. However I’ll continue waiting and pray that a D400 will be coming out soon with a tilting screen.
