[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 547055, member: 9240"] Both of these are valid points, and list out all the reasoning that exists around why bumping up from an existing DX body (D7200 or d7100) to the D500 might have better alternatives. If nothing else they clearly outline why my considering the D500 is absolutely valid because, a) I don't have the D7200 now so the gains from a D7100 are much more perceivable, and b) I am shooting a D750 and know that I need something closer to those ISO capabilities in a DX body [I]now[/I] because the D7100 isn't cutting it for me. The fact that I also get the tools necessary for a great wildlife camera (4 more fps, [I]huge[/I] buffer) has me balking at only one thing - buying a $2K body a month after a $2K lens. But when I do the math it either means $1K more now and then more $$ later when I realize I should have bought it, wait for the sake of waiting, or cough it up because you only live once. The fact that it's not hardship and I can unload some things from my music gear to cover it has me knowing that I'm just going to let the order stand. I'm on vacation now shooting with the D750 and the 150-600mm and I know I wish I had that extra 300mm on the long end, but I'm thankful for the IQ. [/QUOTE]
