Re: upgrades
i know its not a dead thread yet
but finally got some funds , im likely to have between 900 and 1500 smackers which puts me right on the d500 money as well as a z50 with 2 x lens and ftz just to stir up the mix LOL.
im still torn between the D7500 and the D500.
is the d500 really that much better ?
oh the z50 with the kit was £1200 or £900 with the fez and a 16-50mm meaning i could use my currently lenses with as well - nothing is simple anymore

Yes, it is. They share the same sensor, but what's under the hood is very different. Some of the key differences include:
- More frames per second when shooting in continuous as well as a larger buffer on the D500
- 1 SD card on the D7500 vs. 1 SD and 1 XQD on the D500
- The AF system on the D500 has 3x more focus points
- More dots on the D500 LCD screen for better resolution
- D500 compatible with a Nikon battery grip vs. not having the port on the bottom of the D7500 (Nikon doesn't make a grip for the D7500)
- D500 body Magnesium Alloy, D7500 body Carbon Fiber Composite
- Shutter actuation life rated at 200,000 on D500, 150,000 on D7500

If you do birds in flight go for the 500. If you wonder how well it works there are several folks that use the D500 here and do a lot of birds in flight over the 7500. IF you want to go mirrorless take a look at some of those in the Z50 threads, or talk to some of the folks that have the 50.
I am prejudice. I like the Z6 and the new mirrorless Z cameras.Dan~~Kentucky

I just had this discussion with myself. I had it down to D7200, D610 and D750. I have a D7100 and figured the D7200 wouldn't be a big jump and it came highly recommended. The price of the D610 right now is really good but I found a used D750 with only 3000 actuations for under $700 at one of the name photo dealers and it came with a 6 month warranty.
I went with that.

As long as you are aware, that's fine. My D7200 grip has contacts that attach to contacts on the bottom of the camera body which allows an exchange of information. Like @Danno said, if you are looking to shoot fast moving subjects such as birds, wildlife, or sports, the D500 would be the better option due to a faster buffer and more frames per second.
But if you are okay with the differences of the D7500, then go for it. It has the same sensor as the D500 and should yield amazing images.Cindy - D750, D500, D7200

D500 all the way for birds. It's just the best camera Nikon has, currently anyway, for things like birds in flight, deer jumping across a filed, etc.

It's not a problem to get excellent BIF images with a D7500 but, given the choice between it and a D500, it's the D500 that I'd choose.
