[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 660324, member: 26505"] Any prosumer, modern DSLR will serve you well until the shutter dies. As long as it can be put in manual, you are good for learning photography for years and years. It really is a life-long hobby. Good luck. You can't go wrong with either the D7200 or D7500. The images will be great once she learns some technique. My suggestion is go to a local brick and mortar store and put both models in your hands. I prefer the more substantial models other people prefer a smaller camera. I got the D500 about the time the D7500 was starting to be released. I looked at both D500 and D7200 in the store, and kept picking up the D500. Decision made. One thing you could do, is go with her to the store to pick it out. It is still a surprise, and she gets the one she feels most comfortable with. It is kind of like picking out a guitar. One speaks to you and feels better in your hands than the others. Ergonomics and how the viewfinder looks to you is important. I need a good viewfinder and more subtantial build. It is a great gift for a new parent. Please post some images and let us know what you decide. [/QUOTE]
