[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 618265, member: 24569"] I kinda' agree, but also know quite well that when I'm shooting birds in flight I will get a better hit rate with the D500 than I could with either my D7100 or D7200. The focusing is faster and more precise on the D500. Also, with faster frame rates, I'll get more shots to choose from. People who don't shoot sports or wildlife may say this is no big deal, but what about when you want a shot of a three year-old racing around the back yard, a kid playing soccer, a dog jumping to catch a frisbee or something similar? I believe even very advanced photographers will get more consistent results with the D500 than they would with the D7100 in these situations. None the less, if the D500 didn't exist, I'd still be quite happy with my D7100. Heck, I got a ton of great pics with my old D70. The photographer is certainly more important than the camera. I'll never argue that point. :) [/QUOTE]
