I am thinking along the same lines Jeff. I've got a load of Fuji gear that will fund a return to Nikon, although I may keep some for general walk around photography. Having said that, the wife uses a Panasonic LUMIX FZ2000 and I have to say she gets excellent results...so I may let her take the photos. ![]()

From what I have read all the current crop of Nikons are pretty well sorted from the point of view of ISO, resolution and image quality. Even my little D3300 produces some stunning image with no bother. Harriers a challenge? no problem. This marsh harrier was only.........half a mile away. ![]() Attachment: 3D70BFD0-5636-45DB-8EF7-7BA785633310.jpeg (Downloaded 20 times)

Welcome back Blackfox. The D7200 isretty good and and a 200-500 coupled to it makes for a good combo. I got the D500 and it makes for a great Birds in Flight setup. Also got a D850 to lay the spectre of getting a MF camera. No point in my opinion having huge camera, lenses just to get a few pixels more. 45MP is more than enough.

Hi Jonathan ,yes the D500 does look like the camera we were all waiting for back then . Now sat on the fence choice wise there's the D7200,D7500,and the D500 to choose from ,selling off my canon gear on the bay of E bit by bit ,depends what it all achieves in the end ,going to take my time as I still have the wife's canon set up to use till all the funds are available .

The camera buffer and the AF unit on the D500 is superior to the D7500/7200 I believe so I would say the D500 is definitely worth it for bird photograpghy. However the lack of a built-in flash may cause some people issues! In this way the D7200 wins for general photography.
