Clearly, both of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The D7200 due to its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Nikon D7200 will result in more detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged D7200 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
