[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 616489, member: 7240"] The D7500 is pitted against the EOS 80D and D7500 wins all the important specs. Higher frame rate (8 vs 7), better video (4K vs 2K), wider AF point coverage with more points (51 vs 45), and Nikon AF has been better at tracking moving subjects for quite some time, and better low light image quality with wider ISO scale (51,200 vs 16,000) excluding the overextended settings. And both cameras have one UHS-I card slot. The D500 is pitted against 7DII and here I think Nikon is ahead as well. So what did Nikon do that was wrong? I think nothing. They don't expect the owners of the previous model (D7200) to switch because the release rate is too fast for that. But there are plenty of D90, D300, D300s, D7000 and D7100 users who have maybe hundreds of thousands of shutter clicks on their camera, looking for a new one. At $1249 this is a bargain. I also think the model designation D7500 instead of D7300 means a new "series" is born, like the D750 did in the FX entry level. Perhaps Nikon will consolidate the D3000/D5000/D7000 series into just two product lines, "D4000" and D7500. [/QUOTE]
