Congrats @Elliot87 and hopefully you will let us know your findings once you have had a good chance to use it.

Congrats @Elliot87, I am sure you will enjoy it. I was one of those guys that was sure I had to have 2 card slots but the D700 cured me of that over 18 months of use. Also, I always thought I needed a grip but the more I looked at my photos the more I realized I rarely used them though I had paid for them.

For me that made it easy to move to the Z6 after the D700.

I am sure you will like the D7500 it does better in low light and from what I have heard the focus system works well too.

Congrats on a your new camera. My D7500 is my go-to wildlife camera, especially for BIFs.

After months of research and head scratching (and even a little head-banging!), I ordered my new D7500 since they are on sale this week. I had a D7200 several years ago and regrettably sold it since I was busy with taking care of my parents and had no time for photography. At least I have a little head start on learning the D7500.
@Elliot87 You've had yours for a month now - what do you think?

I upgraded to a D7500 from a D7100. I think it was worthwhile. I like the high frame rate, I think the pictures look nicer and it is noticably better in low light.
I did keep my D7100 for a spare and it has a grip and dual slot which the D7500 does not have, but I don't shoot events either. The 3D mode is more useful for focus too,
and I do use it for birds in flight/wildlife.
