When we used to drive the PA Turnpike, it took about 90 minutes to reach the Leigh Valley Tunnel--and that was back when the speed limit was 55mph. Nikon is downsizing their entry level bodies and are supposed to focus more on their pro gear. I'm not sure if that means Nikon will eventually eliminate their D3x00 and/or the D5x00 series from their lineup. In my opinion, the D7500 should have been called a D6500 because it's more of a cross between the D5x00 and D7x00 series. I chose to get a D7200 even though there isn't anything wrong with my refurbished D7100. If Nikon wasn't making these changes to the D7500, I wouldn't have even given it a thought to upgrade now. But that said, I am pleasantly surprised by the tweak with the new sensor!I started with a D90 which has only 1 card slot. Now that all my subsequent bodies have held 2 cards, it is a feature I don't want to lose. But if they are going to cut back and make a huge difference in price and features between their lower end bodies vs. their pro gear, I'm guessing they will shoot themselves in the foot. For many people, it would be more desirable to switch to a different manufacturer than to anti up for the cost of pro gear.Just so you know, the price of the D7200 is phenomenal. B&H has it on sale. I paid $799 for my refurbished D7100 directly from Nikon. To pay that price for a new body with some upgraded features over the D7100, I hope those who are seriously considering don't miss out. And no tax when shipping to PA either when ordering from B&H.</blockquote>
