I see this talking point online a lot lately. What exactly do you mean by it?Plus, I have all FX lenses and some would suck on DX compared to a DX lens.

OK I misunderstood. I thought you were making the Northrup arguement DX cameras shouldn't use FF lens. I'm not sure what your answer has to do with "some would suck on DX compared to a DX lens" though.A 50mm lens on full frame turns into a 75mm lens on DX.
My Ultra wide 14-24 zoom would be a 21-36 on DX (with 1.5 crop factor). Not very ultra wide on DX.
24-70 = 36-105
70-200 = 105-300 (sometimes that's OK) It's really OK when I put the Nikon 200-500 zoom on my D7200 and get an effective 300-750.
My 85mm portrait lens would be 127mm and I'd have to back up a bit more to shoot portraits
etc., etc.......
DX lenses are designed to work on DX bodies. If I want an ultra wide lens, I buy a Nikon 10-24 or a Tokina 11-16. If I want the standard 2.8 zoom, I buy a Nikon 17-55 (the 24-70 equivalent). I'm sure others can explain it much better than I'm doing, but hopefully you get the point.
The only thing I guess I really liked was the 10 fps. But you need the XQD card to do that and they are expensive.
True Felisek you can work with one SD in a D500 but that's not a good idea for commercial work or weddings where two cards are in my opinion essential.

What you are describing is ordering a square peg and being upset it doesn't fit in a round hole. That isn't an equipment problem. Sorry if I implied you were a Northrup fan.If I want ultra wide on DX, I'd buy an ultra wide DX, like Nikon's 10-24, giving me an effective 15-36mm vs buying the FX 14-24 (which I already have) which would yield 21-36mm (not UWA and that sucks). When I had DX only, I bought the Nikon 24-70 and returned it for the 17-55DX because the 24-70 as not wide enough.

That's not what it sounded like.Not quite. What I was saying was that I have all FX lenses and they would not work as well if I shot only DX.
That's not what it sounded like.
Is this is test? Because you're really starting to piss me off.No wonder people get pissed off at my test messages.
Thank you all for your input. The faster frame rate is what is attracting me. But the smaller megapixels has me wondering about image quality if I do crop. BackdoorHippie I too do mainly wildlife. Humming birds and backyard animals, deer, squirrels, etc. If I can get a good trade in allowance for my D7200 I may look at upgrading. Do you have an XQD card or the SD.. XQD cards are very pricey and hard to find.. Thanks again for all your help. Keep the comments coming..
I can appreciate your. That is kind of where I am. I am enjoying my D7200 as well. I like the 500... but I also like FX. But I am in no rush.Thank you all for your help. I have decided that I will stick with the D7200 for a while. The only thing I guess I really liked was the 10 fps. But you need the XQD card to do that and they are expensive. My D7200 has great IQ so don't think the D500 would improve much on that. And 10 fps isn't worth $1500 more, to me anyway. Thanks again
