Glad to hear back on the D7500 Nikon.
My older D40 is ailing (lost autofocus).
The D7500 seems to have everything I need to take photos in my retirement life.
The tilt screen is what I'm liking the most. Have you had any problems with it?
I doubt that I'd use the tilting screen much, but there are times when trying to
take shots over the heads of people standing in front of me, would come in handy.

Regarding the D7500, I would recommend it to any enthusiast who wants a great tool to produce wonderful images. Mine has served me well.
I guess this thread has been all over the place, but the thrust of it is that I bought a Z7ii which will mostly replace my D7500, but now my wife is happy as she gets the D7500. I could have been happy with it for the duration, but I wanted to try Mirrorless for a host of reasons, not the least of which is being able to see if my exposure/focus is off in real time without using Live View (which is a pain). Locking focus is supposed to be greatly enhanced and in-body stabilization is a real plus for shaky old hands. But... the big reason is that Paul told me that Mirrorless would change my life.
Between the Z50 and my new Z7ii, I'll be entertained for a few more years. Of course, that's not going to curb the GAS when it comes to lenses.

Yeah, but not full frame and mirrorless all in one place. Come to think of it, there's more than just the Z50... I also have several of the Nikon 1 series. The Nikon 1 v3 is one of my favorite cameras ever (all except that danged little Micro SD card). I'm still butt-hurt about Nikon abandoning that enterprise.
Yea, I had one as well and upgraded to the AW1. I’m an avid kayaker and wanted a submersible camera. I have both submersible lenses for it and a non-waterproof telephoto. They kept hinting a waterproof telephoto was on the way, but never came through…. so I’m with you. I still use it and love it. Good IQ, tiny, takes a beating, and I can dunk it. So far as I know, one of only two interchangeable lens cameras ever made that you could use for diving to 49ft as is, without a dive case. Both Nikons, the other was a film version way back.

You should try AP (astrophotography). I used to think this was an expensive hobby.
