[QUOTE="pnomanikon, post: 747602, member: 43342"] [SIZE=4][B]Well, I think I have come to a decision - the Nikon D7500. [/B][/SIZE] In retrospect, I should have held on to my D7200. Another hasty decision that I've come to regret. Having owned a D7200, I'm somewhat familiar with the basic layout. The sensor is upgraded to Expeed 5 (from the D7200's Expeed 4), but it is down to 1 SD card slot. I can live with that. All of my current lenses work, and I can swap with my son when I visit with him. (He has D5500) I like the D5600, but worry about weather sealing since I'm outside a lot.
