I swear i had my mind set on picking up the nikon dslr 7500 then i stopped at Best Buy and the guy suggested the d750. Its a huge cost difference...what does everyone else think?
If you like shooting birds return it and get the D500.
Both are good cameras, and I would give the nod to the D750. Just keep in mind that full frame lenses are more expensive.
Enjoy!

I made this image yesterday with the D500 and 70-200 f/2.8FL. Had I known I was going to see these flying ducks I would have used my Nikon 300mm f/2.8 or Nikon 200-500 f/5.6. I would not have changed my D500 for my D850 or D750.This is handheld and spur of the moment.

What is your experience?
What did you have before?
What kinds of things do you like to shoot?
What lenses do you already have?

Huge cost difference? The D7500 is $1150 and the D750 is $1300. less than 15% different.
Doesn't Best Buy have a 15% restocking fee?

Im not a rookie, have been shooting since high school, im currently 50. I have owned several cameras. I have the tamron 150-600mm for nikon. I own the d3400, nikon P1000, and want a full frame dslr but dont have alot of extra cash. I love birding
What cameras do you have now? I recently purchased a D750 to complement my D500 and D7000. It's easier to get a shallow depth of field with the full frame camera. Great for portrait shots. The D750 is $1300 right now. B&W includes a shoulder bag, memory card, and a battery.
The D500 is the best camera to use for wildlife shots though. The D5, D500, and D850 have Nikon's best AF system. They have a processor dedicated to just the autofocus system.

Adorama has a Nikon Refurbished D500 listed for $1,349.00 right now. That price is comparable to the D750 sale price and would give you a camera specifically designed for wildlife photography.
The D7500 is surely a step-up from a D3400. But if you really "want a full frame" camera, then the choice should already be clear. The D750 is a very good camera. If you want to keep cost down, there are quite a few previously owned D800 series cameras available, too.
I upgraded from the D3400 to the D7500 about 5 month ago. Would I have liked a D500 Hell Yeah, but the budget allowed for a refurbished D7500.
I really enjoy this body and am pleased with my purchase. See the link to my flickr page below.
Now I need that big glass like you have....

The Nikon D750 is a FF and the D7500 is a cropped sensor.
That said the Nikon D750 took a big discount, $700.00 off list and is currently selling for about $1295.
If it was me I would buy the D750, and yes, they will be replacing this camera with what I believe will be a 30 megapixel one to contend with Canon.
But, the D750 will give you years of service and is one of the best camera's out of the box.

Those are two different cameras. The D7500 is a cropped sensor while the D750 is a "full frame" camera. The D750 is more expensive and for its best performance requires FX lenses.
If you do not have lenses either one will serve you well.
Given what you want to do, go for the 750. Once when I was replacing a camera, I had picked out a certain model. The camera guy at the store suggested that I go with a better, more recent model, and more expensive. I didn’t take his advice. After about a year, I regretted my decision and traded up to the most recent version. Point being I would have saved the price of the first camera if I’d listened.
