Hello everyone,
similar questions have likely already been asked, but let me try to outline my di(tri?)lemma
I own a D7000 since 2011 (shutter count at 50k+) and by and large I am very happy with it. I own quite a few lenses, several of which are also FX compatible (50mm/1.8, 85/1.8, 70-300, all Nikkor) but also a few DX lenses (18-105, 10.5 Fisheye, 35/1.8)
I do start to feel that the D7000 is becoming a bit limited in terms of performance even if when I bought it, it was very good compared to others.
Thus I am now looking towards potentially buying a new Nikon body and I am torn between various options
A very easy one would be to go for a D7500, very similar to what I have, very good sensor identical to the D500 iirc, built-in flash (sth I use sometimes to control off-camera flashes). The D500 would also be an option, clearly stepping up in size and build but e.g. losing the on-camera flash (while gaining performance elsewhere obviously).
Then the other big question of course is DX vs FX. As I outlined I have quite a few lenses but apart from the Fisheye, the others were cheap or came with the camera. Thus I am thinking whether the D750 (a bit aged, but obviously still a very nice camera) with very good image quality could be an option.
Last but not least, when considering to spend ~1.5 k€ on a camera, the other item that came to my attention is the Z6 (it's at the edge of what I am willing to spend). The low number of shots with a single battery charge seems a bit off-putting, though I do not shy away from carrying multiple batteries, I already do this today. I do very much like the idea of in-camera stabilization, e.g. for my 85/1.8 which I find a great lens, but would not mind stabilization with it.
Quite a lengthy question, but any considerations you might have would be gladly appreciated.
