[QUOTE="singlerosa_RIP, post: 574491, member: 15556"] I bought my 7200 as an upgrade to my trusty ole 7000 after I purchased the 200-500 lens, thinking the 7200 would provide better results than adding an extender to my 750 or cropping its pics. A month later, Nikon announced the D500. I've played with it and it's awesome. Tilty, touch screen, joystick focus point stick and other new features. Plus, fast FPS and big buffer (as mentioned by Marek). Even though I like spending money on gear, it has to make sense and I couldn't justify a D500 for the rare times I need an extra 4 frames per second. If I need a big buffer, I'll shoot jpg. Like the others, I like both formats and really like my 750. Plus, I have all FX lenses and some would suck on DX compared to a DX lens. You mentioned that you were considering getting a second body. One consideration is the controls. The D500 uses the Pro layout while the D7xxx series, D6xx and D750 all use the "ProSumer" layout. Mixing controls on two bodies makes shooting a bit more challenging, especially if you run with two rigs. If I only shot DX and wanted the best, I'd be saving my pennies for the D500. Good luck.
