If i were in the market for a new camera (rather than having thoughts about selling up), this does look like a jack of all trades frame. The D810 didn't do bad, but this seems like an improvement in many areas on it
Dunno really Mike, lost my mojo with it a bit. I've tried a few things to get it back but so far the things i enjoyed doing aren't doing it for me at the momentDont sell up, a bit more practice and you will improve
Seriously hope you dont sell up,is it a time thing or are you needing an extended break.
Sorry to hear this Jay. I hope you don't sell up too, I value your input here.Dunno really Mike, lost my mojo with it a bit. I've tried a few things to get it back but so far the things i enjoyed doing aren't doing it for me at the moment
Cheers Brad, i'll not be shooting off just yet.Sorry to hear this Jay. I hope you don't sell up too, I value your input here.
What if it were the same price as a D500??Is it just me who's not that excited about this camera?:indecisiveness:

Ah, a price thing then?Then I might be more excited.

I'd be excited if I could afford one! As it is, I am considering upgrading my D7100 in the next 6 months - I'm just unsure whether to replace it with a D500, or get a D750 or D810 then keep the D7100 on the end of my 150-600mm.

That's what I'm thinking Mike - The D7100 is still a good camera, and in full working order so it will do just fine for wildlife, which is maybe a third of what I like to shoot - The remaining 2/3rds would be suited to a full frame....With those camera choices i think you need to make it main subject dependent.
No critique, but buying the D500 and then keeping the 7100 on your long lens sounds to me like you got it backwards. My D500 stays glued on my long lens because it handles wildlife (where DX is an advantage, which is why I opted for the D500) so well, and my D7100 does everything else I want.
At this point, I can only get excited about the D500 (which I own), the D5 (well, only a little, since I consider it too heavy) and the D850 (which I lust for). The 153-point AF is such a vast improvement over the older AF systems, and the low-light capabilities of these three are so much better, that nothing else makes much sense to me any more. Don't get me wrong - the D750 and D810 are great cameras and anyone should be proud to own one of them. But if you're in the market for a new camera and ready to spend serious dough, I would no longer go for either.
NOTE: Just realized I misread your post. Replacing the 7100 with the 500 makes perfect sense. However, given how litte used 7100s go for these days, I would keep it. It's a great camera, after all.
I think a lot for me depends on if / when and for what price the D750 gets replaced with - That could make all the difference.
