[QUOTE="csgaraglino, post: 597453, member: 42498"] Well, your original questions were "D500 or D7200...and settings on the D500" As far as the two bodies, D500 all the way! As for settings and the menu system, there are all kinds of different posts about what people use for their setting. As for getting used to the menu system - trust me it will not take you long to figure it out. What I did was recently move form the D700 to the D810 and a month later I add in the D500. What I knew, I setup - what I didn't, I Google the actulal setting itself, learned about it and then played with it. Also, watch this video on the D500 [url=http://backcountrygallery.com/nikon-d500-review/]Nikon D500 Review[/url] Steve focuses on wildlife and BIF - but you'll get a good fundamental idea of the D500.
