I am kinda sorta maybe thinking about a new Nikon body to replace my decade-old D5100 and was somewhat surprised to find that B&H and Crutchfield have no D7500s. Other suppliers might have them; I didn't spend a lot of time looking around. I've had really good luck with B&H over the years.
Is Nikon shipping these (or other models) as their parts inventory allows or are they at a dead stop in production for the foreseeable future? Happily, I'm in no hurry.
The D7500 seems an obvious choice with its higher 8 FPS rate (twice that of my D5100 and hopefully with a higher capacity buffer), 20.6 MP (up from 16.2 on my D5100) and 51 Focus Points (up from 11 on my D5100). Although I don't often use a flash, I want one built in and that rules out the D500. I'm aware that the D7500 has taken its lumps in reviews, but the expert criticisms are of little consequence to what I need in a camera. I haven't looked at Nikon's full frame FX cameras.
