This article on DPR is a good read for those thinking about a D500 v D750. https://www.dpreview.com/news/1419516967/nikon-d500-versus-d750-which-one-is-right-for-you |

I am sure that the D900 will be coming at the end of this year. D900 = FX version of D500. |

The question is when do you actually say 'this is all I need" and buy one? I haven't tried a D500 yet but from reports on its speed of use I would totally accept the reviews comparison with the D750.....if you want speed of use for sports and wildlife ...get the D500. For everything else, the D750 will suffice. I am considering getting back into wildlife...if I do, I will get a D500. I imagine my D750 will then be redundant. The question then will be ...is the D500 going to also fill the roles the D750 AND Fuji equipment fulfil? I could quite image a better pairing would be the D810 for high res work and a D500 for everything else.  |

The jury is still out for me, apart from the crop and AF I'm still can't see any benefit of selling my D4 and having to pay extra for a D500. |

I am sure the D4 speed of performance will be much better than the D750. So your reasoning is understandable. I even noticed a drop in performance ( though not image quality) going from the D3 to the D750, although part of that might have been 'lesser' lens use. It would be interesting to have a performance comparison between the D4 and the D500 because there have been claims (which I find hard to believe) that the D500 matches the D5! |

I think that there is no reason that I really need the D750 as the D600 does fairly well for me. In fact one of the reasons for holding off is the release of the Fuji XT2. Ergonomically this is IMHO even better than a Nikon. What I want to do is test it for its AF performance. The XT1 almost has it in AF performance being similar to the D200/D2X (I would say) but in truth I have been spoilt by the D3 which is an outstanding camera. Even though I have just got the D500 and 200-500 I would slim down my Nikon kit considerably if I was in UK so that I was left with D3S, D800, D500, and my very large Nikon lens collection. I would probably release the 400mm f2.8 AFS as well but I know I will regreet it. |

The XT2 has a double speed refresh rate compared to the XT1, also it has an auto-brightness and the readout from the sensor is much quicker so the blackout time is less. The ergonomics are better again and as I said before the XT2 will have better ergonomics IMHO than the current Nikons which are button-full and not customisable to any useful extent. |

Iain, re: can't see any benefit of You are not the only one... The D500/D5 may have some progress in technology, but changing from any D4 to a new D500 seems foolish if you ask me. Some people may want to have a modern pro-oriented DX body to replace a D300(s) but otherwise I cannot see any reason to trade in a D4. Regards, Gilbert |

I tend to agree with the assessment. If you have a D4/D4S the upgrade is marginal unless you do video with the camera. My D500 is to replace my D300. I want either an D750 or an FX equivalent of the D500 as a replacement for my D3S. |
