I upgraded from a D7200 to the D7500 and have noticed much better image quality plus it has several features that I love - the ISO button was moved to the top which is easier to operate, plus the bracket button doesn't get pressed by mistake and the touch screen is very convenient. Not being a professional I don't care about only one card. That said, I'm currently waiting (and waiting, and waiting …) for the full frame D760 to come out.
I concur with SueScott, for me going to the D7500 was worth it.

The d7500 is on B&H for 796.00! I bought the d7500 new nearly two years ago and have not found anything that I don't like about it. Size, weight, performance all good. One memory card slot and no native grip- if that is important to you then bypass to the d500.

For that kind of money, I expect two card slots. The D7200 has them. The D7500 does not. If your requirements differ, then go with what suits you. I opted for a D7200, and a D750, purchased about a year apart. I have great Crop Frame, and great Full Frame, capability. Generally, what the one lacks the other has. Both have similar control layouts, both perform well in low light, both can use the same Full Frame lenses, speedlights, etc. I have no complaints about either camera. If my D7200 were to break down irreparably, in a couple of years, or so, and I needed a replacement, I may then consider a used D7500. It would still only have the one card slot, but would cost less by then. Then, again-by then-I may have moved on to a Sony mirrorless system, or such. I do not hate the D7500, but it does not meet my needs at this time. It may meet yours. Only you can say. Let us know what you decide.

Check out Steve Perry's video. It all may depend upon what kind of photos you take. The D7500 has the Expeed 5 processor and the same low-noise capability as the D500. It is capable of a more rapid burst than the D7200, which would make it a better sports camera. My daughter has the D7500 and has not missed the second slot at all. It DOES have great wifi capability and a very nice fold-out rear-live-view.

First of all, why would you need a battery grip for a D7500? You mentioned the D7500 has only 20 mp, if you think mega pixels mean everything in a camera, ditch the D7500 and go for either the D7100 or D7200.

Need some feedback on this. D7500 had 20 Megapixels, the D7200 has 24. I could care less for video.
Plus there is no vertical extra battery grip for the D7500.
Comments? Should i get the D7200 or the D7500.
My D7100 battery grip will fit the D7200.
Or should i just save $$$ & keep my D7100??

What will the others do your 7100 will not. I would compare them side by side and pick the one that meets my needs. All three will give you the same image quality. 20 and 24 mp is not a big difference....
I'd also look at Steve's link.

I will just keep my D7100. The D7500 does not communicate with older lenses. It also probably does not have a built in focus motor for older lenses that do not have a motor.
Thats it, i just saved $$$$ Thanks for your comments.

Not to throw a monkey wrench into things but the D7500 will work with any lens that the D7100 will work with unless I am woefully misinformed 😄
The D7500 also has a built in focus motor. The 3000 and 5000 series do not.
Enjoy whatever gear you have!

B&H has a Vello batterygrip for the D7500. Im upgrading to it from D7100. 2card slot is meaningless to me. I would eventually like to get the D500 but for now the D7500 is half the cost of the D500.

It does have a built in focus motor. My daughter uses my 50mm f1.8D on hers.
As well as Steve's link, also look at Nikon's technical specifications on the two cameras....or any others under consideration.
