As you can tell, both of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Nikon D7200 to render extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more modern D7200 will have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
