Sure, you can get a camera with better low light capabilities and it's called a D5! Are you sure you need/want to spend that much. You already have one pretty darn fast lens in your arsenal, and that would be the 50/1.4. If you want the very best start with a D5 and buy every 1.4 lens you can get and perhaps even the Nikon 200/2. By the time you're done you will have spent a small fortune and you MAY not improve your work at all. Experience is what counts the most. The processor 4" behind the viewfinder is much more powerful than anything inside the camera. There is absolutely no substitute for experience, so go in some churches, with the lights off, and teach yourself to get great photos. Perhaps even buy a book or two on low light photography and learn, learn learn. I'm a professional sports photographer, and making images at night games, without flash, is my bread and butter. Yes, I use a D5 and a D500 and D810 as well. If I owned one, I'd use the 7100, 7200 or whatever I had. Before digital we used this thing called film. Try shooting that at ISO 5000! Seriously, dump the variable zooms, use the fast primes, and practice, practice, practice. Best of luck. If you want any specific advice, feel free to PM me.

Funny, Chris! The D5 is only $5000 and I didn't have my 50/1.4 with me! It's in the camera bag NOW, along with another lens. Problem is, now there's no room for the camera with attached 24-70 lens!!
You are right, of course...I will practice and learn more! Of the three cameras you own, if you could only keep one camera, which one would you keep?
