[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 719654, member: 46724"] I upgraded my D5300 with the D7500. I would do it again in a heartbeat. My needs were similar to what you seek. I chose to go with the D7500 over the 7200 for the upgraded sensor and big buffer(50raw) with the high FPS(8 fps) and upgraded snapbridge. I have no need for a second card or battery grip. The D7500 has no AA filter, same as your D5300 (and D7200). Both the D750 and Z6 have the AA filter. Thats not a huge deal as I am able to get tack sharp pics with my D800 which has the AA filter as well. I feel MUCH more comfortable shooting in typical Washington weather using a weather protected body. I never took my D5300 out in bad weather which restricted its use too much for me. Ergonomics were the biggest upgrade. No more fiddling through menus just to change ISO. The tilty touch screen is also pretty cool, however I dont like it as much as I did the D5300 screen. That screen allowed me to get the camera in some pretty wonky positions. Much more restrictive with all other screens, even the tilty touch screens on all of them but the D7200(no touch or tilt to that one and if you want reliable snapbridge, go for only the newest cameras). I think Canon is the only camera with a screen like the D5300 now. Would I love to have a couple hundred more focus points? Yup, but I got 90% of the D500 for less than half the price. No matter what you choose, now is a great time for upgrades because of the price drops across the board. The D750 just dipped below a grand, but I think thats not the lowest it will go.
