[QUOTE="captain birdseye, post: 612899, member: 21047"] I have both of them although I have only had the d500 for 7 or 8 weeks during which the UK weather has been pretty dire preventing me from getting good use out of it. Apart from the obvious frame rate and buffer improvements I find the performance at higher ISO settings in low light to be noticeably better (not massively so though) ditto the AF. (But so far I have only used it in poor light with the 200-500vr). The flexibility of being able to have different AF settings on the joystick, af-on button and shutter are great. The viewfinder is huge in comparison and the rear screen is of a higher resolution making it more reliable for assessing the sharpness of images in camera and its touch screen, despite being one of the things I thought I would not really want on a camera is very handy. I suppose that at higher ISO settings it may/may not be quite as croppable as the d7200 due to its 20mps vs 24 mps but this can be subjective to shooting conditions and the amount of grain you end up with on the final image. The d500s grain is easier to deal with than the d7200s and the higher you go ISO wise the better the difference. If you often shoot in low light and need quick AF for moving subjects go for the d500. If not settle for the d7200 unless you find the other features of the d500 tempting. Having both I intend to use the d500, gripped with the nikon 200-500vr for birding and the d7200, gripped with the sigma 150 f2.8 macro for bugs fungi/flowers. [/QUOTE]
