[QUOTE="hark, post: 677443, member: 13196"] Here is the Nikon Compatibility Chart. [URL]https://www.nikonusa.com/Images/Learn-Explore/Photography-Techniques/2011/Which-Nikkor-is-Right-for-You/Media/NIKKOR-lens-compatibility-chart.pdf[/URL] According to this, AI lenses won't meter through the camera on a D7500 which means a handheld light meter might be required. And when it comes to E-type lenses, it states '[I]Some restrictions apply to PC/PC-E lenses[/I].' Have you given any consideration to a D7200? It has 2 card slots so in case there is a failure with the first slot, providing the second slot is set to backup, you won't lose any images. If you are ever looking to do paid gigs, you should seriously consider a body with 2 card slots so one can be set to backup. Nikon is moving away from consumer DSLR bodies and supposedly is focusing more on their pro bodies. From what I've heard, they will eliminate the D3xxx and D5xxx series bodies. That means the D7500 would be their entry level DSLR body. It lacks some good features that are available on the D7200. However, the sensor on the D7500 is a tad improved over the D7200. That said, I upgraded from a D7100 to a D7200 and love the sensor of the D7200. Comparing the sensor of my D7200 to my D750, there isn't too much of a difference even at high ISO. Just something to consider. Good luck with whatever you choose. :) [/QUOTE]
