Wether we want or not, it keeps bugging us with the ultimate hope to produce better pictures. Unfortunately, more pixels do not produce better pictures. As a matter of fact, it can produce more bad pictures since if the technique isn't flawless it's going to show big time. I can only speak for myself, but I've used the D80, 90, 7000, 700, 600 and Df and when I look at some of my shots done with the 12 megapixels D90 and D700, I just love the feel I get from these sensors. When I sold my D90 to get the 7000, I thought my prints would be much better but found out otherwise. I had more blurred images than before. Same with the D600, my lenses showed more flaws than with the D700. So even I had twice the pixel count, I can't say my images were twice as good.For someone who needs high frames per seconds and great low light performance, I think the D500 is just a dream camera. The only culprit for me would be the size and weight. I'm not certain I'd rather take a D500 on travel. The D750 or D7200 would be smaller, lighter and probably more fun for amateur usage and travel pictures.If you're a pro and live from the work you use your gear with, then you don't have much of a choice. You've just got to invest in the best and keep up with the Jones. For amateurs, anything from a D90 to a D750 is usually good enough, unless one is feeling insecure and hope the newer gear will secure his/her feelings about himself.</blockquote>
