[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 724433, member: 9240"] 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. [/QUOTE]
