The visible difference in images from a D500 over a D7200 is only in JPG and it is significant in how high iso, low light images retain color information and color accuracy over all other crop cameras.  The new image processor is almost magic in how it performs rendering JPGs. New models that get the Expeed 5 processor will probably do as well or better. The new D7500 has it, so I will expect a lot of the naysayers, who only went by spec sheets, will find image quality just being better and a lot of people will upgrade once they see the results of field tests. JPGs at 25k ISO will beat a D800. The D500 smoked my D800 with the same lenses in the same dark scenes I tested it on. Sure, in the studio where I have control of light, the D800 just records better images but in a dark venue, HS basketball for example, the D500 just captures better images with far better shadow color fidelity and saturation. Bills test however does not compare JPG but raw data so his charts would say nothing about rendered files.  I find the whole concept of Photographers DR matches real world results far better than the more common Engineering DR. One reason Nikon has such a loyal following is how they have consistently had the leader in DR throughout the product line on every camera since and including the D90. Canon is getting better in their higher end models but the bulk of sales are in the lower end where the difference in degree if superiority of Nikon models is most striking</blockquote>
