[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 624123, member: 24285"] Welcome to the wonderful world of N.A.S. - Nikon Acquisition Syndrome. From my signature you can see I am totally into NAS (well more properly GAS as Gear Acquisition Syndrome as I don't limit my acquisitions to Nikon). I just went through a similar internal debate that is chronicled here [URL]https://nikonites.com/general-digital-slr-cameras/39412-new-camera-d800-d750-d500.html#axzz4iwfZLsPI[/URL] I debated the 500 vs 750 and added a refurbished 800 into the mix just because ... I have not yet bought anything (well I did buy that Husky but you'll have to read to get that one) The questions asked already give a great starting point for your quest for the best option. Mull on them and let them keep you from falling asleep. Rather than D500 vs D750 you need to decide if you want to ( need to is such a tricky term) if you want to FX or not. You are into DX now. FXing will mean new lenses. My upgrade path from my D5100 was to go FX with a D610 which has worked for me. But be warned, as others have said, FX lenses are more expensive. But if you want to FX then FX, you just need an FX sized wallet. And FX sized storage cabinet. There is a less expensive (not cheap but cheaper) option with FX - and that is the vintage glass route - old film glass can and does work well on FX digital cameras and that is a real option. And almost another hobby within the hobby. Good luck with your choice. [/QUOTE]
