Got to say that I love the handling of the D500 and 200-500 but I am also using the 24-120 f4 on the D500.

Do you think the D500 is a worth while upgrade from the D7200?

Difficult one. There are certain things on the D7200 I dont like e.g. the external connector, I prefer a 10 pin as I can rig connections to external devices really easily as I have all the necessary parts. If you dont need the crazy hi ISO or the faster shutter speed and frame rate then there is not a lot to choose. The biggest thing is that the AF unit in the camera is the same as the D5 unit and is faster than the D750/D3/D4 AF units.

For me looking at the D500 the only advantage is the new AF, if I need high ISO I've got the D4. So at the moment I don't think it's worth changing.

Bear in mind the reason for the crazy high ISO isn't for the crazy high ISO... The crazy high ISO is a by-product of greatly improved mid range ISO performance.

The D4 will gove you all you get from the D500 but in a bigger body. I am waiting for end of year hoping for a D900. In other words a FX version of the D500. I dont want the weight of a D5.

The D300 was supposed to be a pared down D3, but I found a cropped D3 image always matched a D300 image (apart from file size of course). The net result was. I rarely used the D300... and sold it. I am not sure if the same relationship exists between the D4 and D500. Or put another way ...how much better is the D5 than the D4? I would be first deciding if there is anything 'lacking' when using the D4, before shelling out on a D500....but, then, I am from Yorkshire.  Having said that, I did take advantage of having the two bodies alongside each other when going to eventing and motorsport... using the 70-200mm (or the 300mm) on the D3 and the 300mm with the D300.. to give a range of focal lengths to suit the occasion.

Anyone want a Sigma 80-400mm f4.5-5.6 EX DG OS as I think while it is a smaller and lighter lens than my Nikon 200-500 AFS VR it is now a second string lens for me. . Ebay price indicates about £425  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EXC-Sigma-APO-80-400mm-F-4-5-5-6-EX-DG-OS-Lens-For-Nikon-w-BOX-From-Japan-/291844048130?hash=item43f342c502:g:dfAAAOSwdU1W9CrT Probably best for EU users. Reasonable offers considered. Offers in PM if interested.
