There were about 4000 replies by readers to a byThom survey and the results are worth noting. http://www.dslrbodies.com/newsviews/survey-says.html

Unless I missed it, they weren't asked WHY they regarded the D7200 as something other than the D300 replacement ...that Nikon perceive it to be. Just shows how the DX sensor is important a wide range of serious shooters.

Ask D300 fans if they think the D7200 is a replacement. Their reply

I agree with the idea that the D7200 does not equate in body terms to the D300 even allowing for the sensor and other internals. My D300 is a very nice camera the D7200 feels different and lacks the 10pin connector. Nikon really dont understand that the 10pin connector is a well understood connector that provides many different connection options both future, current and legacy. The USB-like connector they provide now for non-professional cameras is just that non-professional and not highly durable.

The point I was making was that if Thom wanted to send a message to Nikon, detailing the shortcomings of the D7200 relative to the D300 might be more effective. I think we all got the message that DX has a valuable spot in serious photography...even Nikon. The survey should be highlighting where their offering comes up short.

Thom's survey reflected a survey that Nikon had sent to an nth-name selection of their registered user base. If you read http://www.dslrbodies.com/newsviews/nikon-asks-which-fx-do-you.html it lays out the setting. There were 4000 replies from one posting of the survey at the bottom of the above article. Obviously most of the respondents are regular readers and aware of the futility of trying to send a message to Nikon.

The only way you will get a D400 is if EVERYONE answered NO/ NONE to the questions 3...'are you planning to upgrade this year' and 4....'to which of the current models'. Then to question 7 say what you want...EVERYTHING THE D7200 ISNT! Unfortunately getting a unified answer on those 3questions sufficient to speak volumes to Nikon needed organisation. People give wooly answers when answering independently. No company could ignore ALL its selected user base saying they wouldn't upgrade to any current models until they did x y z to the current DX body.

I know this doesn't count but the feel and durability of the D200 vs the D7000 is noticeable , I can only imagine how the D300 will feel with the D7200
