[QUOTE="Leif, post: 616494, member: 42585"] I have a D500 which is superb, but had the D7500 come out at the same time and been cheaper, then I would have gone for it. However, the price will drop soon, that always happens to these 'prosumer' bodies. It has for me some key features namely an articulating LCD, so useful for shots close to the ground and on a microscope, and an EFCS (Electronic Front Curtain Shutter) which is incredibly useful for photomicrography and close ups. The dynamic range will be great, the resolution is fine for A3+ prints, the FPS is more than I need, and hopefully the shape is better than the D600, which is horrid to hold. I am sure semi-serious sports and bird shooters will love the large buffer. The single SD card slot is fine for me, I've never used two. If your living depends on image capture, then I guess you want to use dual slots to protect against card failure, but hey, the D500 is for pros is it not? I think they have done a lovely job. Including the EFCS is a surprise. I don't regret my D500 as I use the eyepiece shutter all the while, and I much prefer the pro control layout. They have managed to keep out the pro features so pros will buy the D500, but retain a lot of functionality. [/QUOTE]
