[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 522851, member: 8705"] I'm not really sure what the problem is. When the D300 line was around you could buy the D7000 as an alternative if you wanted pretty high end amateur features, but not quite the more pro like build and features of the 300. Surely it'll be the same when the 500 is out as it won't kill the 7000 series as they are in a massively different price bracket. It's no more than another option if you need the features. We have a couple of 7100 bodies in our house and they are undoubtedly superior to the 300 and 300s that they were upgraded from, however they were never a D300 replacement, just a way of getting access to more up to date sensors. I suspect we will get a couple of D500 bodies at some point, but only when I think it makes sense. I am disappointed about the lack of flash as it won't be able to be a commander for my R1C1 macro lights, but I can work around that with a speed light as commander. This whole thing is like comparing Ford (uk build spec not US) and BMW. They both do a great job, but they offer different facilities or build and the price reflects that. They compete for a different audience. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD [/QUOTE]
