The new 24MP APS-C Nikon D7200 replaces the previous D7100 that was released in 2013, and with it comes a bunch of video improvements, including 60fps at 1080p, though it's at a slight 1.3x crop factor (which is a crop of the 1.5x APS-C frame). If you're looking at low-light performance, the native ISO of the camera has improved two stops to 25,600, from a native max of 6,400 on the previous model (it was expandable to 25,600). It's likely that processing has improved quite significantly in order to get noise under control at higher ISOs.

More info on the video specs of the camera:
The EXPEED 4 processing power extends beyond still imaging performance to benefit full HD 1080p video recording in multiple frame rates up to 60 fps, with the added ability to record using just a 1.3x crop of the DX format for added reach while maintaining the full 1920 x 1080 resolution. During recording, fully manual control is possible over shutter speed and ISO settings, along with the ability to utilize Auto ISO adjustment in manual mode with a top sensitivity of ISO 25600. Zebra stripe highlighting can be applied to aid in controlling overexposure during recording, too, along with in-camera Picture Control profiles, custom tone curves, and a flat profile to benefit color grading applications. Recording to an optional external recorder is possible in order to gain uncompressed 4:2:2 8-bit output through the HDMI port and, when recording externally, use of the camera's LCD monitor for simultaneous live view monitoring is possible.
In regard to audio recording, an in-camera stereo microphone can be used or, alternatively, an input is available for utilizing an optional external stereo microphone. Sound levels can be adjusted across 20 levels prior to and during recording, along with the ability to monitor audio via the headphone output. Additionally, the D7200 is compatible with the optional ME-W1 Wireless Microphone for recording clear mono sound of your subject up to 164' away.
