I currently shoot a D7000 with a D90 as a backup/second body. I'd like to upgrade to either a D7200 or D500 as my main body, move my D7000 to backup, and give my D90 to my sister-in-law.
I'm wondering if there's any good reason for me to spend the pretty significant difference on the D500 over the D7200. I shoot primarily portraits and events (mostly weddings). Low light/high ISO performance is VERY important to me, but I don't want to go full frame because I have a significant amount of money invested in DX lenses. Also, I have zero interest in the new D7500 because it only has one card slot (WHY NIKON?!?!).
The D500 is superior in regards to FPS and AF speed, but I'm not a sports shooter, so those things aren't overly important to me. I guess the question is this. Is the high ISO performance of the D500 a big enough improvement over the D7200 to justify the cost difference?
