Move from d7200 to d500

[CarlosFrazao]

thanks guys for all the messages, well wildlife is my passion even though i still suck at it lol, I also assist a wedding photographer every now and then and up to now have not had any problems because when we need the extra light the flash gets out the bag, the only downside i have had is for group shots my 24-70 isn't always wide enough if i can't stand back far enough and when I'm doing newborn shoots my 50mm is to narrow maybe i just need a 35mm to make up for that... i would really love the extra noise performance not only for weddings but also for my wildlife..

i have rented a d750 for a day and to me it was not a wow camera and actually preferred my d7200 thats why i was thinking d800..

you can always pick up a sigma 18-50 2.8 or that sigma 18-35mm 1.8 or something similar.. i really like my sigma lenses.

i had a 50mm prime and a 35mm prime.. the 50mm it always seemed like i had to stand back too far for allot of things. and with the 35 there were times i could still not get back far enough to get everything in the shot. so far at 18mm i have not had hat problem..

the 750 is a much newer camera than the 800 and its a better camera IMO, if the 750 did not blow you away i do not think the 800 will either.. the 800 is basically a studio/landscape camera, the 750 is a good at everything. that is how i look at that..

D7200 vs D500 you will get more FPS, new auto focus system, better low light. no built in flash, a better buffer, and maybe better image quality but i am not sure about that one yet.

Danny I think you need to test for us

That would be nice..I would like one. But that's a bit out of my price range at the moment and what I have seems to work just fine.

Yeah is pretty expensive at the moment and here in South Africa it will just keep going up and up I should actually show you guys sometime what stuff costs here and using Nikon here is the stupid choice as its way more expensive than canon... I wish our rand to dollar would just fall s little so I can purchase of Amazon again because buying here is crazy expensive, even with our current exchange rate it's still cheaper buying from the states

sorry to hear that.. all the good hobbies are expensive, and if its overprice where you are that makes it even worse..
you have definitely been getting some nice wildlife shots what what you have now sometimes you just got to be happy with what you have if its working for you.. that is how i see it.

hi guys, has anyone made the move from the d7200 to the d500... Is it worth it or is it just the extra 4 frames and the buffer that make a difference, how much better is the low light as well. I'm thinking of either getting a d800 as a extra body or getting rid of the d7200 and getting a d500... Thanks guys

I don't know... I look a pics from @DarkShadow using his D7200 with a Sigma 150-600 C and the color, clarity, rendering is excellent. He even mentioned in a thread or two he wanted a D500 but I could not see why he would pull the trigger for one, considering the quality of his pics. The another guy who just picked up a D500 was @MSnowy and he is a little dissapointed with it at this point as compared to his D3s but I think he is still working with it.

D3 and D500 are completely different animals IMO i do not know much about the D3 though.. for those of us shooting DX already i think it would be a pretty big improvement at least in the less noise at low light area..

most of what i am seeing from the D500 is excellent.. i have not seen allot of high ISO photos though. i have saw a small hand full taken at 51,200 ISO and there noisy but not horribly noisy, those photos have more noise in them than i would like to see but that is at 51k iso which is crazy high and i would have expected much worse to be honest..

now i do not know what kind of lens these people are using in all of those excellent photos or how they would have turned out if they were using the D7200, some some of the photos that are excellent could be a really high end lens.. or maybe not. i see lots and lots of excellent photos out of the D7200 would it really be worth all that money to get a camera that does better in low light and shoots more FPS, for me the answer is no.. i can shoot at 10k iso with my D7200, sometimes the photos have a bit more noise than i would like, a little noise reduction on those photos usually does brings them down to a acceptable level of noise for me..

what i would like to see is someone using the exact same lens and taking photos of the exact same thing with the D7200 and the D500 to see if there is a noticeable difference in image quality in good light..

i would also like to see the same thing done with higher ISO shots with those 2 camera bodys, i am sure the d500 would win but it would be cool to see. looking at the full frame vs d500 comparison with high iso it looks like they do just as well as some full frame cameras to me when it comes to the high iso..

but check this out.. this is one of the high iso photos i have seen.. <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="Kitten by Ken Wheeler" title="Kitten by Ken Wheeler"><img src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1650/25986877614_1797cc1c13_b.jpg" width="1024" height="683" alt="Kitten by Ken Wheeler"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

I dunno I would wait a little bit and see what quirks start showing up with the D500.I really think its a bit early to judge but I herd of some lens compatibility issues with Auto Focus. After all the excitement of the D500 coming and I almost was locked into the sale of one, I backed out and went for the D7200 and haven't regretted it one bit.If I needed a new camera right now,I would buy another D7200.

i hear you man. the d7200 is high quality as far as i am concerned. it does seem like there are always some problems when a new body comes out, waiting a while is definitely a good idea plus i do not know if nikon does this but allot of things come down in price after they have been out for a while..

Let Nikon wring out its beta testing on the frothing first-in-line, might-die-in-my-sleep-not-owning- a -D500 punters before you commit.
