[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 807579, member: 50197"] Well, the Pup's birthday is coming around again and I was talking with her about what she wants. I had talked with her about upgrading her D5600, a while back, but she wasn't really interested then. She is more receptive to that now. She doesn't really want to get into mirrorless, and I'm not sure she'd be happy with the full frame DSLRs because she likes the different preset exposure modes. That pretty much leaves the D7200 and D7500. I'm a little reluctant to downgrade the sensor specs to 20 MP, although I doubt it's actually a big deal. The D500 is out because it doesn't have the preset exposure modes. I also wonder if there is enough difference in capability between the D5600 she has now and the D7200 to justify the money spent on upgrading. The other option is to upgrade her 18-55 kit lens to an 18-200. She has a 70-300 FX tele, and a 105 FX micro lens, but when she doesn't need the longer reach of the 70-300, the 18-200 would give her a lot more flexibility without having to change lenses. Depending on where we are shooting, I often see her changing lens a lot, or trying to use the 70-300, when she really needs the shorter lens. It should also be a better quality lens overall. I'm sort of leaning in this direction, but thought I'd get some feedback from ya'll. I'm hoping that she will become more comfortable with the mechanics end of photography to be happy with the controls of one of the more advanced oriented cameras. I just don't want to have a drawer full of small increment bodies that were purchased then moved on from. I don't mind the D3400 languishing in the bottom of the bag, as it saw a lot of use, and got both her going with the hobby, and me back into it. I don't even particularly mind the D5600 purchase, as I didn't really know that much about the different options of Nikon's line, and wanted to get her an upgrade she would be comfortable with. I need to be a little smarter about purchases now. Input appreciated. [/QUOTE]
