[QUOTE="lokatz, post: 632879, member: 43924"] I have a D7100 and a D500, so with the D7200 ranging in-between those two, I think I have a pretty good idea how those compare. If you bought the 7200 already, enjoy it and know it's a great camera. Full stop. To me, however, your choice, if still to be made, is between the 7100 and the 7500, so I disagree with Bikerbrent here. That choice really comes down to how much money you want to spend and what kind of pictures you usually take. If general travel, landscapes, architecture and the like are your thing, the D7100 will be just fine. Great camera, I still use it for most of my shooting. Buy one used, have fun, and spend the money you saved wisely. If focusing speed matters to you, realize that there is little difference between the 7100, 7200 and 7500. All three of them share the same AF system. Even though the 7200 and 7500 have a slightly faster processor and thus perform marginally better, the 500 beats all of them hands-down, owing to its superior 153-point AF. Where the 7500 kicks butt with both 7100 and 7200 is in low-light conditions, where the different sensor (same as on 500, with larger pixels than 7100/7200) and a number of other improvements really have some merit. So if you often find yourself shooting in poor light conditions, by all means get a 7500, or bite the price bullet and get a 500. If you're into birding, definitely save up until you can afford the 500. You'll love what it gives you - much more than any of the others can. [/QUOTE]
