Hey Bill,

LOL. Maybe you should re-read my reply. I think your comprehension may be as challenged as the OP's ability to form a coherent question. (Early morning... more coffee?)

Also, please send me the link where you can buy a D500 for $200 more than the Sony RX100iii that currently sells for $700. I will buy them by the crate load and resell them on Amazon. I'd make a freakin' fortune.

Oh, and to your requested advantages. The OP doesn't seem to know a lot about photography so why try to sell him an expensive digital FF camera before he can figure out the basics?

My Sony has a lot of advantages over my D800. (I own and use both.)

1. It's lighter.
2. It is not a crew served weapon system, i.e. .. you don't have to lug around a bunch of heavy lenses, a flash, etc. and bring along grunts to carry your gear. You can slip the whole system into your front pocket.
3. It has one, permanently-attached lens that provides a normal focal range that is good enough for most photographers.
4. It is less than half the price of a D500 without lenses. That, my friend, is relatively cheap. If you don't agree, then you don't like my relatives. I'll live with that.
5. It produces very nice IQ, even with all of the above listed advantages. Even in low light. And I think that might be acceptable for someone who is going to ask such a simple question as the OP.
6. It has a very usable auto mode which again, might be nice for someone who is asking such a simple question.

That's my opinion. Take it or leave it. Nyah.

TTFN,

AWESOME RESPONSE!!! I love it!!!

I second the RX100iii. I just got one a month ago for when I can't carry a full sized camera and it does a great job in most situations. The 1" sensor won't be great for huge prints of your landscapes, but it can still render some fine detail.

Full frame is nice. Medium format is even cooler. But if you are just starting out and don't know what questions to ask about FF, I'd recommend you get a Sony RX100iii. It's not a full frame camera. It has a teeny tiny little 1" sensor. But that way you can figure out if you like photography with a competent, (relatively) inexpensive little camera that does most of the stuff FF does before you spend a lot of money on something that doesn't convfefe or has too much splunge.

After you shoot with that camera for a while, you can decide if you want to get into this enough to form some clearer questions.

I would not have believed 'hand held 4 seconds' unless I had shot one of those awesome cameras myself.

Great photo!

If you can suffer with a D7200 it is still an awesome camera for an incredibly low price, comparatively. The IQ of the 7200 vs. the D500 is not very much different at all. If you are shooting wildlife and action sports, then the cost difference of the D500 is fully justified. Also, if you WANT the D500 vs the D7200 the cost may be justified, too. You don't buy a camera every day, for most people it is a non-trivial expenditure and they have to live with their decision for a year or two or three, so emotional considerations are also important.

I bought the D500 over the D7200 because I am want to hang onto it for at least 5 or 6 years and I wanted the Expeed 5 processor and the buffer. It's really great for action shooting if you know how to use it. To me, the was the critical difference between the two cameras.

Think about the great portrait or long lens that you buy with the difference in price. Is the Expeed 5 processor and buffer worth that to you?

50mm would be great if you decide you want to shoot portraits with it more. 1.8 is fine for portraits. 1.4 is great too, especially if you are willing to throw out a lot of photos (it's harder to properly focus a 1.4 than a 1.8) and money (1.4 is a lot more expensive) in order to get a slightly shallower depth of field and a barely noticeable advantage in low light.
35mm would be great if you decide that you want to shoot wider family and street scenes in low light more than portraiture.
You already have wildlife and landscapes covered with your Tokina and the 55-200.

Is it Full Frame or APS-C?

The name of the sensors tell you pretty much everything you need to know:

Crop Sensors are for cheap, talent-less losers who don't have the physical strength to carry a heavy, full frame camera and a bazooka of a telephoto lens. Better you should beat yourself with a riding crop.

Fool Frame cameras are for the fools who don't have the talent and money to shoot medium format. Share images of crap like that and you'll be thrown out of any self-respecting camera club.

Medium Format cameras are for cheepies who only want medium quality results. Results are similar to having a monkey draw portraits with just one broken crayon.

Large Format cameras are for pinheads with large egos, but no photo skills. These are entry level cameras for beginners with no artistic eye or talent.

What you need, in order to get into basic photography, is a Large Synoptic Survey Telescope - it's chip renders a 3.2 Gigapixel image - which is about the minimum you'll need to post selfies and snapshots on Facebook.

BTW, I left out Micro 4/3rds because they aren't really cameras. They are just little boxes with tiny, near-sighted faeries inside that produce poor image quality with horrible focus. They liberally sprinkle every image with ambient noise pixie dust. Here the word Micro is a contraction for 'Might Consider Taking up Golf Instead.'

I hope this helps.

They do feel right. Mechanicsburg? If you shoot at West Shore or Atglen, we may have shared a range.

Excellent.

Condition One in the range bag? I KNOW that is just for dramatic effect. You sure do have some purtied-up, tricked-out, range hussies there. I have always found even the best 1911's to require a TRB too often to consider for carry over a SIG, but oh they are the finest shooters a handgun can offer. Dress 'em up and do a photo shoot with them!

Suddenly I feel very old.

4/3 and Micro 4/3rds are not the same:

Hi Shutterbugsailor,

It's sounds more to me like the 5.56x45 vs. 7.62x51 arguments for the standard Designated Marksman caliber.
