Well there's a couple of us,. yay!
I too am liking the high frame rate and buffer.
I am also trying for birds with the grp focus mode.
I think I have a good copy this time. I sent my first one back because it was not talking to the usb bus anymore to upload photos..
Anyway, I think it complements my D7100 well.
<br>I sold my D7100 for the D7500. Had it 4 years. Now, some 18 months later, and I’ve never regretted the switch. IQ is definitely better IMHO. I’m mostly landscape, towns, static rather than sports ... wildlife too. I just love the D7500.<br>

Correct. They neutered the D7200 to push buyers toward the new D500I dont think it is that popular due to the fact it was misunderstood, like so many others i got caught up in the one card thing, i now use a Nikon with one card,it was also up against the D7200.

No offense..
The thead topic is asking who owns one, not what your opinion of it is.
I am a D7100 owner and am aware of the feature reductions.
I still like the camera.
It may have been a poor choice by nikon to do this, but the ILC camera market is really shrinking and changes are coming
for the camera companies whether we like it or not.
Not sure I buy this argument. The D500 was the pro-level DX camera that they hadn't updated for years. We went through 3 iterations of the D7xxx line and waited 7 years before we got something that replaced the D300s and its 12MPs. It was introduced at a price of over $1K as well, $700 less that the current D500 price. It has a very small niche market - folks who want more MP's than the D500 with fewer FPS and some of the touch screen features that you get with the D500 and perhaps a better handle on noise than the denser D7200 sensor provided. At the original price I believe it did drive people to the D500 if they were looking to upgrade (for most folks it was worth the $700 up charge). But it was just a weird camera: one less card, drop of 8MPs for the range, increase in price from the very capable D7200. That's hard to rationalize. I think the single card showed Nikon's wavering commitment to the XQD technology as well, but it made it a non-starter for the semi-pro who would never think of shooting a wedding with one card, but that same person is not going to see value in the D500. I think it was a stop gap while we waited for the Z50. Kind of like the D780 is a stop gap until the next full frame Z's.
If you wanted a dual card DX camera with a grip, many bought the D7200. Perhaps wildlife photographers, pros with backup gear, etc. It seems quite strange they would take away two important features from a Camera which did so well as the D7000/7100/7200. It is not that out of line to see this as a potential marketing decision. Just my view, which is shared by others
