I agree wholeheartedly 🙂. At most I see the R7 as a ML competitor to the D7500, if that.

A bit late to the party :-) The OP announced a couple of posts prior that he heeded recommendations similar to yours and got a D7500 with an 18-55mm and a 70-300 mm P lenses. Now looking at the ...

So it was for months before I got mine. Than it became available (perhaps just for one day), I ordered mine and the next day it showed as "backordered" again. When I decided I wanted one I got into ...

Lenses are good candidate for buying used. I recently got a 16-80mm rated "like new" at less than half-price. It even came with the original packaging and it looke and works like new indeed. Long ...

Well, the D500 is still shown on the Nikon USA website. I am not sure if Nikon have released an official statement about its discontinuation. The writing is on the wall for sure, though. I got mine ...

I will throw in my (inflationed :-) ) $0.02: I still have and use as a second body my D90 (owned since 2010) and my daughter has a D3200, which I have used enough to develop a good feel for it. Com ...

Wow, congratulations, you found the unicorn 😁.

If you haven't done so yet check mpb.com. They operate out of UK and US. I recently got a "like new" 16-80mm lens from mpb US. It came indeed in pristine conditions, original packaging included. A ...

I went from a D90 to the D500 and I do not regret it. In the Nikon line-up the D7500 is on the same branch of the family tree. I'd say that going from  a D7100 to a D7500 is a "logical" progression ...

That is exactly what I did a couple of months ago. Ordered it directly from Nikon, miracoulously it became available for just a few days on their website. A few weeks later, in another stroke of ...

I could no longer find the kit when I got my D500. I had a stroke of luck and found a "like new" 16-80mm on mpb.com for little less than $500. It was indeed like new, down to the original ...

Have you tried to shoot RAW and check if the jpg file generated off-camera on your PC is still bad? Just going out on a limb here, but I wonder if the FW update got botched or the update file you ...

I tend to shoot mostly action/sports, my wife making chocolate chip pancakes "inspired" me to take a shot (pardon the pun...) at food photography. Taken with my D500. 16-80mm lens, on the kitchen ...

Sadly, you are most likely right. One more reason to buy the best DSLR you can afford before it is too late and keep it until it lasts. My long term plan is to ADD a full frame mirrorless in two or ...

Dual slots are used for overflow (when you run out of space on your main card) or backup (duplicates of all your shots for "mission critical" shooting sessions) To me , of the two backup is the ...

The D7500 is a direct descendant of the D90: D90 -> D7000 -> D7100 -> D7200 -> D7500 Going with it will feel like a natural progression, especially in term of ergonomics. My daughter has a D3200 ...

A handy, coincise guide to the many focus area modes of the D500 can be found here: https://nps.nikonimaging.com/technical_solutions/d500_tips/af/af-area_mode/ Coming from a D90 and shooting mostly ...

As Thom Hogan wrote: "... there's this: the D500 is still today the best APS-C (DX) camera you can buy. So if you have one, you can still claim to be state-of-the-art, congratulations." You can ...

Although the New England weather has been its typically uncooperative self, today I took a walk to a nearby lake during a break from work. Of course it was sunny on my way there and back, but NOT, ...

I do not shoot BIF, but I have shot lots of airplanes at airshows with my D90 and the FX 70-300mm. Granted, they are bigger, but also much faster :-) In my experience, single center focus point and ...
