[QUOTE="hark, post: 701214, member: 13196"] Hello and welcome, quinton77. The D5xxx bodies are menu driven which is probably what you're used to with your D3100. The D7xxx series has shortcuts that involve pressing a button and spinning either the command or sub-command dials. That allows changes to be made very quickly. The D7200 has 2 card slots which allows a backup to be written to the second slot. Or you can set the second slot for overflow. Having a backup is very important in the event of a rare card-writing glitch. And I think the D7200's buffering is slightly faster than the D7500 (which only has 1 card slot). The D7200 has a Nikon grip available. There isn't one made for the D7500 although I *think* there is an aftermarket one available. If rumors are true, Nikon might discontinue the D3xxx and D5xxx series bodies. Instead, the D7xxx will be its entry level body - hence the removal of some intermediate features. A new D7200 is just $100 more than your budget since it will be discontinued. It's a fantastic body. One advantage of the D7xxx series is it accepts AF-D lenses which allows the AF to work. On your body, those lenses will only focus manually. There might be additional features of the D7xxx series. These are the ones that quickly come to mind. Good luck with whatever you choose. [/QUOTE]
