[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 545750, member: 24569"] I have both the D7100 and D7200, and The difference in IQ is small. The D7200 focuses a bit better in low light, for sure. The buffer is also larger, but I still get a slow down at times. Like yesterday I was shooting a Heron who grabbed a fish, carried it to shore, then swallowed it. The whole thing happened in less than a minute, and I got plenty of good shots, but I wish I could have shot at full speed for longer periods. That's one place that the D500 would really be a winner for me and my type of shooting. A huge buffer and 10/second leaves me drooling. I wonder about the XQD card on the D500. I don't want a "Betamax" when the rest of the world is using "VHS" and these cards are kind of expensive. The speed of these cards is a part of the reason that the buffer can clear so quickly, though, so time will tell. I suspect that the D500 is going to focus [I]significantly[/I] better, faster, and at lower light levels than the D7200. The high ISO performance will certainly improve, but nobody knows how much yet. More focus points spread out over almost the whole frame are a big plus in my mind. If I were in your position, and I didn't want to buy a D7200 just to "hold me over" until the D500 is available and well tested, I would wait and see just how good the D500 is when it comes out. I love my D7200, but it really is just a small jump up from the D7100. [/QUOTE]
