You will never see a glass half full or half empty even if it is by just a few water molecules ;)

Both

It should have been released as a D5700 and a few hundred $ over the 5600.

Cross between a 500, 5600 and 7200 with few of the 7xxx (very few of the 500) benefits at double the price.  Really marketable product.  They wouldn't have had such a bad welcoming if the price ...

Working in IT its apparent how fragile storage media is the 2nd slot is just as huge for me.  I don't even take test shots without the 2nd card in it permanently lives in there on backup mode!

A lot of the lenses rival "new" ones in build and image quality and can be MUCH cheaper.

Not worth rescuing?  The memory would likely still work I keep putting my USB keys through the washing machine only 1 death :D

D500/D7200 is close to 1400/799 if you can find a refurb.  I definitely wouldn't pay 2000 for a D500.

Two of the main selling points are gone had it been less than $1000 there would be less of an issue. This will keep a bunch of people at the D5xxx series.  The 2nd slot and lack of Ai/AiS lens ...

Or D6xx/D7xx hopefully they keep it when they revamp those.  Newer D7xxx is off my list for now.

It is usually lighting but I never liked the picture from the 50mm 1.8 the 85 is WAY better.  I do like 50mm on some of the other MF lenses.

I doubt it in this situation there were 3 main reasons for D7xxx vs D5xxx/D3xxx and two of them are gone.  The only benefit is really 4k and slightly faster.

The big issue is they removed TWO of the 3 main features that people specifically get the camera for vs D3xxx/D5xxx.

Like a D7200 Makes no sense nobody is going to buy this at $1250 it would make more sense if it was $800 and they complexly scrapped D5xxx.

Flash memory is highly UNreliable they make extreme efforts to prevent it from being an issue with SSD drives even then they consumer drives have no form of error correction, capacitors for ...

I'm now awaiting D610/D750 replacement announcements was starting to look towards FF anyway I've even been using FF lenses on my D7200 so I'd be ready.

Even if I'm just doing test shots I have a 2nd card slot with the backup option.  I'm not professional but I've spent the last 12-18 months planning a vacation it would be horrible if a card died ...

By selling an unsellable item?  You can find a used/refurb d500 for just a few hundred more.  They could have stuck with dual SD cards.  Also support for Ai/AiS lenses has been removed.  All in ...

200-300 vs 1000-1200 per battery isn't a big difference?  That isn't an extra battery that is a LOT of extra batteries.

I tried out a m43 as a 2nd camera and quality lenses at affordable prices was less than stellar.
