Plainly, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The D7200 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Nikon D800 will offer you more detail as a result of its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The fresher D7200 provides an advantage in sensor technology.
