[QUOTE="hark, post: 778687, member: 13196"] Great photo - love the depth conveyed in your image. :) So did your D7500 come with an EN-EL 15a battery? At least that's the one listed with its specs. If so, that's the problem. You should consider replacing it with an EN-EL15c battery which lasts longer yet is completely interchangeable (and can be used in your D7200).
