Nikon D3500, released TODAY ... does it have a Self-Clean Sensor, or not? (Page 3): You're way ahead of me, Chris. Will read further and let you know what I find.

Electronic VR

Capture smooth footage when working without a tripod, or using a single-focal-length (prime) lens without optical VR

Above found on THIS page > https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/d7500-technical.page

Reading the manual, the EVR feature only applies to video, which makes sense since the camera can do frame shifting. What backs that up is that EVR is not available in 4k mode.

Regarding the D7500 vs the D500, here's the comparison:

If you can live with 8fps (vs 10), and I certainly can, and 51 vs 153 focus points (again, I can), the D7500 is a great Semi-Pro DSLR.

Yes, Will ... I see that, now .. the Electronic VR only works in Video Mode ... however, NON-VR Prime Lenses, will become VR when it's turned on!!!!

Will - so you're in the desert, then ... get a lot of scorpions out that way, do you?

"NON-VR Prime Lenses, will become VR when it's turned on!!!!"
Oh, that is good to know. I just figured going forward I would buy VR lenses. (I mainly use the camera for astrophotography but am getting more into terrestrial use.)

Scorpions, and other "vermin", usually, once a new build neighborhood has been established for awhile they're not a problem. And, the pest control for the scorpions is very good.

I think it's been a couple years since I came across a rattler, either hiking or driving. Leave'em alone and they leave you alone.
I understand the eastern diamondback is more aggressive.

Not many snakes around here, Will ... a couple of grass snakes, maybe ... utterly harmless!!!

Never saw a scorpion, but a friend in Nigeria has recently been bitten (stung?) by one - so, I looked them up - mainly, here, in your neck o' the woods!

BTW, thanks for the help on the D7500 ... you've now raised my gaze ... and I will most probably get one, real soon ...

Oh, and for my novice friend, I think it'll be the SL2 ...

Cheers, Will ...
