[QUOTE="Bikerbrent, post: 615632, member: 42081"] I originally bought my D70 in March of 2004 as this was Nikon's first consumer-level DSLR (I wanted a Nikon to be able to use my assortment of Nikon compatible film lenses). When the D200 was announced in Nov. 2005 and I got to play with one at a photography show I bought one due to it's increase from 6 to 10 MP and its more professional build quality and controls. I skipped the D300 and D300s because I didn't feel the jump from 10 to 12 MP and the other updates sufficient to warrant the cost of the jump. So I waited (and I waited) for the D400. Finally after 10+ years with the D200, I started to look for a replacement and had just about decided on the D7200. Then I heard about the D500. At first I was elated, but then I found out the D500 was only 21MP vs. 24MP for D7200. Plus the D500 lacked the builtin flash which is useful for quick shots, fill flash, and as a flash commander. About the only advantage the D500 had was faster frame rate and a bigger buffer as well as a little better build and very slightly better high ISO performance, but since I did not do much high speed action photography, I did not believe the D500 was worth about twice the price so I got the D7200 and am very, very pleased. The D7300/D7500 and D760/D850 rumors do not excite me, so at 71 years old, I am beginning to think the D7200 my be my last camera body. [/QUOTE]
