[QUOTE="hark, post: 747065, member: 13196"] I don't shoot video so am not able to give you any info there. But the D500 is amazing. I prefer its sensor to the D7200 and notice a difference when I pixel peep. One thing to keep in mind is that even though the D500 has 2 slots, only one slot holds an SD card. The other is an XQD which is pricey. As for the flash, I don't use the pop-up flash so don't miss it. The Godox TT685N Thinklite TTL Flash is just $99 but has about the same power as the Nikon SB-910, and it has high speed sync like the SB-910. For the price, it's a very good flash. Off camera would require a trigger - and for me that's fine since I moved away from Nikon flashes and wouldn't use their Creative Lighting System (line-of-sight triggering with the pop-up flash). Besides radio triggers have a better reliability rate to fire much more consistently. If you are still considering the D7500, then I'd suggest buying several smaller sized SD cards and don't use one until it's full. Swap them out so if there is a write error, hopefully it would only affect images on one card - not all the images on multiple cards. I had an issue with a Lexar card (some images had pink fringe along one edge). Now I stick with San Disk. You have a lot to consider. If weight were a big issue (and it used to be for me), it might limit how often you shoot. Or carry a lightweight monopod and make use of it if your camera body is a little heavy. Holiday shopping sales will be available soon. Good luck with whatever you choose. [/QUOTE]
