You should be questioning your decision on that, only if you could have bought the D750 with out thinking about money , if that is what you
Wanted and had the money ,then you made a mistake , if you were being furgel then you dident , you make a choice save some cash
Or not there will be other times the 750 is enough iso for anyone ,

Oh yes, that upcoming Nikon D7500. What shall it be?
I looked at all the links to compare cameras sent by Jerry and the D7500 doesn't have enough improvements to entice me; and in fact, some features that I like were taken away (like 2 card slots).

The Yongnuo YN685, but I've only used it a few times. I know very little about flash units. Most of my efforts have been BIF and prep for Florida and Yellowstone.
I occasional use flash for fill outdoors or bounced off a white ceiling indoors. I don't do BIF but I did get an awesome picture of an Egret in flight (while in Florida) with my iPhone. Go figure...

That would be incorrect. At higher ISOs (1600 and above) the D500 is noticeably better than the D7200, i.e., more detail and less noise. Below that however, the D7200 is superior. I say this not based on many reviews which agree but on my first hand experience which confirms it. Now whether that "better" is worth twice the price would be a personal decision.
I agree with this assessment. I can wait for a sale...if that ever happens!

I would recommend considering a third camera, the newly released D500 that will start shipping in June. Might just be the combination of features you are wanting.
Good advice since I would get diddly-squat for my D7100.

Can recommend D500 since i own one for my wedding shots: http://www.ajphotographer.ca/. The last shots were made with D500 actually, so I hope it will give you some answers.
Nice shots; but I don't envy your job. Being a wedding photographer is stressful and that would take the joy out of shooting for me.

If as you say" I don't NEED full frame" You have your answer.
Well, what I should have said is, "I don't THINK I need full-frame". NEED has very little to do with wanting and/or buying!!

I set up BBF on the D500, but not on the D810 because I'm more likely to use the cable release. I'm smart enough to do that. Yeah, right... 
They are both now BBF and I can quickly change if needed. So much better for my wandering mind.

Funny. I feel your pain!

Don't try to sell it. Pack it away in case you ever need a backup / replacement at a moment's notice.

After an extensive comparison, the D7500 doesn't entice me near as much as the D500.

I will add that lens to my wish list; but I'm not sure I can part with the 24-70 (originally I bought it along with the 70-200/2.8 thinking that I might go full-frame some day). Now I have sold the 70-200 and bought a 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6. I know, most people will say that was crazy but my buyer was sure happy!

I used my 50MM f1.8 for our granddaughter's baptism, enlarging and cropping. I moved up close, shot at f1.8-2.5 with an ISO of 1600 and it worked out nicely.
I was very reluctant to use my flash during such a service.

I wish I could have done that. We usually do get some pictures in front of the altar after the event and I could have controlled my settings much better and even used a flash, if necessary. But, alas, we had dinner reservations and timing was a little too tight.

I took the leap from D7000 to a D750 and have never looked back! I also purchased a Sigma 50mm Art lens as well and already owned the 24-70mm f/2.8. You WILL NOT regret it if this is the decision you make. I also considered the D500; however, I rented both prior to purchase and the D750 (for my purposes) was the winner. I kept my D7000 as a back-up along with my DX lenses. Look forward to seeing images from your new purchase!
Now YOU have just complicated my decision-making ability!! lol However, it was smart to rent both and then pick a winner. I would keep the D7100 regardless.

I actually did write a pros and cons list of purchasing the D500 and they are about even. Some points are more important than others. I don't like going back to one card, nor having no built-in flash to use as my commander when I do a portrait shoot (to buy one is under $80 though). I REALLY like 153 focus points, 10 FPS, boosted ISO & the articulated TOUCH screen.
