[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 721449, member: 26505"] Since they are two different systems, I would go to the nearest camera store and put both in my hands before making that decision. I wouldn't pay more for a used D7500 than I could get it new with a full warranty, but that is just a personal choice. Really, I don't think you can go wrong with either camera, but I think one of the nice things about the Z is the electronic viewfinder. If I were buying a camera now, I would be considering the Z series, but I kind of like a hefty camera in hand, which is one reason I went for the D500 vs the D7200. I went with the D500 over the D7500 because it has the illuminated buttons, and the D7500 had just been released. I wanted a camera that had any bugs worked out of it. I don't give a hoot about 2 card slots, I am not shooting weddings or for National Geographic. I have a camera grip, but never used it. Any chance you can try out both systems in a local camera shop?
