[QUOTE="Keoghan, post: 679050, member: 45445"] My input - resolution of 7200 higher yes, but noise level also higher when cropping due to smaller area of photosites. D500 has better light gathering ability with larger photosites therefore less noise, and in turn better cropping ability. I use a 5.6 200-500mm and I know immediately a d500 would be better for wildlife. D750 is amazing for outright IQ, D7200 is surprisingly good at landscapes with the right lens. Another thing that nobody has mentioned is the metering of the d500, it's much more advanced so you will have better tracking in overcast conditions and low light .. if you have the money and you enjoy quality photos the D500 is worth every penny. If you can't afford it, the D7200 is very very good and can take you a long way but using anything above an f4 will produce noise when shooting at high speed. Each camera has it's special areas. I have a Nikon 700 and 7200. Currently not in a rush to get a d500 but I want one - do I need one? No as I'm not working for a magazine. If you have the money buy a d500. If you don't, hone your skills. Then upgrdade. Outgrow the camera before you upgrade and you'll always produce great images. [/QUOTE]
