Needa,
Thanks for the welcome!
About the 7500: I will have to get back to you on that. Its obviously a different world that the D80. I went back and forth between the 7500 and the D7200. I had one in my hands for about a week. All things considered, the 7200 would have been fine for me. I think I fell for the ability to rotate the monitor up and down. I shoot overhead every now and then and its a great feature. The camera is technically well beyond my abilities at the moment so I can grow into it.
We are heading to Washington State, Oregon and Idaho later this week so I can give it a real-world workout.
I will post more later in a more appropriate location.
