[QUOTE="robstopper, post: 802999, member: 42074"] Hi folks, I recently upgraded from a D3200 to a D7500, and took it out for the first time earlier this week. I was playing around with some of the settings in fairly low light in an aircraft hangar, experimenting with how far I could push things like the ISO compared to the D3200, so I wasn't expecting to get "perfect" results on a trial session. Using my Tamron 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 was OK, I was finding at first that on the ISO I would have used on the D3200, the shutter speed was much longer on the D7500 and the VR didn't seem to be quite as effective. Increasing the ISO to 1250 or 1600 helped though, and I got some better shots. Switching to the 100-400mm lens outside though, in very overcast weather, taking pictures of aircraft in flight, was very underwhelming!
