bdekok put it right about the appearance of the "full frame" designation by the time digital cameras (DSLR) came to the market with sensors smaller than 135 film using the same lenses as the film...

The funny is that in a not so distant past 6x4.5 (that you have no doubt to consider as one of the " film medium formats of the past") was receiving the same kind of opinions as your comment...

Nikon still has D7200 in their product list so you don't need to "downgrade" at all, but if you consider it as a castrated D500 why don't you buy the fully "equipped" macho D500? :-)

There is already a short video clip that some TV stations broadcasted yesterday night showing this very scene.
