Welcome to the forum. Despite having a slightly smaller sensor, the Nikon D3200 offers a higher resolution of 24.1 megapixel, compared with 20.7 MP of the Nikon D7500. This megapixel advantage comes at the cost of a higher pixel density and a smaller size of the individual pixel (with a pixel pitch of 3.85μm versus 4.22μm for the D7500).So I would suggest your D3200
I have to disagree with your conclusion. The D7500 has better low light performance and the question concerns a body for a group tour and some of the shots will be building interiors.

I bought a 810 about 1 year ago.
Used it a christmas and about 2 out of 5 pictures I culled ( I'm pretty
picky)...
I have a 3200 and Have shot about 8,000 photos with it...
I place the 3200 into auto and shoot and shoot and shoot.
I'd take the 3200 instead of the 7500 and shoot 100 of photo's.

Hope this helps

Since you'll be in cities I'd take the D7500, it's better in low light. Many like the touch screens, I have one but never use it.

There's more to picture quality than just mps and in every other aspect the d7500 is an improvement. If you are use to using two control wheels for shutter speed and aperture switching to a d3200 will be frustrating, but if you use any form of auto exposure it should not be a problem. If you use the tilting lcd you would be missing that on the d3200.
Here is a link to a comparison between the two cameras, hopefully it will help you decide.

The D7500 has Nikon's latest Expeed 5 processor and is a more up to date camera than the D3200. According to published reviews, the D7500 has a lot more going for it including weather sealed body, more focus points, higher dynamic range and better high ISO performance to name a few. I have a D7500 with a Nikkor AF-S 16-35mm 1:4.0 G ED lens that I use extensively when traveling for street photography, landscapes and general photography.

Weight and size aren't major factors between these two, so I would look at comparison sites and see what differences you can expect. For best results, I generally favor a newer, more expensive camera.

Since you own both cameras you know the differences well, so here is just my take on it. The size and weight of the D3200 is tempting. If these really matter, consider taking one less lens. The D7500 is sharper than the D3200 for some shots due to less vibration. The better viewfinder and tilt screen make it easier to compose and focus. RAW with the D3200 can indeed be more than adequate, but in the field taking actual pictures and for the reasons I mention, I would take the better camera. Any JPGs from the camera you might want to use will also be better even though you are also saving all RAW files.

I took my 7500 paired with a Tamron 18-400mm lens all over Edinburgh and on a couple of day trips last Christmas and brought home over 1,500 shots, many of them taken in low light/night conditions. It's an excellent camera and the use of a shoulder strap made the weight negligible. Take your 7500!

Welcome to the forum. I have both the D7500 and the D3300. I would stick with the D7500 as you are now used to it and have all the necessary buttons on the body. I recently took the D3300 for the day as didn't want to carry the extra weight. Big mistake. I wasted lots of time trying to change settings via the menu and lost lots of opportunities. It was local so was ok but if you're on holiday, you will kick yourself if you lose shots as was fiddling with the menu. If you do decide to take the D3200, make sure you practice where the settings are on the menu so you can quickly change. As far as quality of the photos. the 3200 does a very good job as at the end of the day, it's the lens. Good luck.

D7500 - you're not saving that much weight, just .4 lbs. And the D7500 is a much more capable camera - and you've been using it, so you're currently more comfortable with it and probably less likely to miss a shot.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I just picked up a D3500 for travel and hiking. Lightweight, 24mp, 25,600 ISO. Uses all VR-AFS lenses. $400.00. Love it

Re travel lenses (and I am a Cannon shooter)
Pretty much the same as you use at home, if you are shooting similar subjects, and subject to baggage restrictions etc.
It also depends on your shooting style.
For 'scapes and cities I would take a "standard zoom" and a wide angle zoom.
If you are shooting wildlife a long to very long tele zoom would come in very handy.

With respect, the OP isn't asking anything about lenses but only about taking one of two different cameras. He has the lenses already.
BTW if you look at your camera you will notice it is Canon, not Cannon. Both shoot but cannons have a much louder BANG when clicked.
Have a wonderful day,

Are you saying you get more BANG FOR THE BUCK with Cannon and not as much with Canon.
