[QUOTE="Elliot87, post: 617704, member: 25183"] I was initially caught up in a lot of the negative hype surrounding the D7500, "only one SD card slot", "No battery grip!?" "won't meter with AI lenses" etc. I was a little disappointed as in some ways it is a lesser camera than my D7100 and so in my mind I ruled it out as an upgrade right away. But then I thought to myself, I have no battery grip and don't intend to get one, I virtually always use the second card as overflow so having to swap cards would be an infrequent minor inconvenience and I only have one AI lens which will still take great pictures, just a little more thought about exposure on my part. The pluses this camera has over the D7100, which is somewhat crippled as a wildlife action camera by its buffer, far outweigh those negatives for me and the way I shoot. If the sensor is as good as it is reported to be, the improved iso capability, faster shutter and bigger buffer would make it a worthwhile step up for me. If the D500 didn't exist the D7500 would be on my shopping list. However knowing that the D500 is out there makes me doubt if I'll ever even lay hands on a D7500. That is why this point makes perfect sense to me If the D7500 possessed all the features of the D7200, along with the other improvements it will possess, I would find it a lot harder to justify spending the extra money on a D500. If Nikons new line up is D3400, D7500 & D500 I can see the sense in that. [/QUOTE]
