Do you shoot always in RAW format or for events do you avoid 3days of processing by using JPG, if the latter, you might want to rent a D500 for a weekend and try in on low light scenes. You will assume there is a lot more than a 1/2 stop difference. The Expeed 5 processor in the D5 and D500(and D7500) is a very big step up and provides industry best rendering color fidelity in low light that was significantly better than the D810/800 that is no slouch as class leader for IQ in FX.AF performance of the D500 is not just good but the best. The D5 is the only camera that can top it,just barely. There are many reasons the D500 was selected as camera of the year and best overall camera by more than one review sites and magazine.The D7200  is a very competent camera but will not be as good as the D7500 for the same reasons the D500 is better, due to sharing the same sensor and Expeed 5 processor. If you do not need that superior low light rendering,any camera in the D7x00 range would probably produce indistinguishable images, they are all good with decent lighting. I am not one to suggest upgrading any recent camera because I think people upgrade too often and don't ever exhaust the capability of the old one. Sticking with one competent camera for a long time probably produces more improvement than hopping from one camera to another. I always suggest concentrating on collecting things that make a real difference, such as lighting, mentors and lenses before changing bodies.</blockquote>
