That said, I don't think it's fair to say the D7200 is simply in-between the D7100 and D500. The AF performance of the D500 is hands down a benefit for that body. While the improvements to the D7200 didn't justify the upgrade money from my wallet, the IQ differences between the D7200 and D500 still make that a much better comparison than introducing the D7500 into the mix. The D7200 provides close performance to the D500 for a significant price delta below the D500, while the D7500 requires the shooter to give up pro features like dual SD cards and the lack of a vertical grip to price compete with the D7200. The D7500 (IMO) really should be in the D5xxx line of bodies because of the feature sacrifices, but isn't solely because of the sensor... but then we're back to incremental differences and not having the 153-point AF that convinced me to upgrade from the D7100. I would pay to upgrade from the D7100 to the D7200, and if I still had the D7100 I would keep it vs go to the D7500 (if spending money was needed).If buying new, I still think the D7200 vs D500 discussion is the one to have, and the D7100 or D7500 only come into play for the right deal where you can save some good money.</blockquote>
