Looking for recommendations for upgrading from the Nikon D5300
May 4, 2018 11:27:21 #
My friend just went from the D3300 to the D7500. She has the same Tamron lens as you and is getting great results. Loves the camera. I also have the Tamron lens and use it quite a bit on my D5500.

I am an advocate for the Nikon D7200. I have 2 and use them daily as they hold up to pro use for me. I shoot sports in and outside of buildings. The High ISO 25600 helps in skating rinks when the lighting is very poor for hockey shots. I get great baseball action shots of catching the baseball as it passes in front of the batter or when hit by the bat. I have thought about the D7500 but decided that I should just go for the D850 instead. The D7200 runs about $850 for the body and will accept your D5300 lenses. I still have a D5200 that was replace by the D7200. During sports as in the old days of film instead of changing lenses I use 2 D7200's and just change cameras keeping the 18 to 150mm in a vest pocket in case I need a short lens.

I would not upgrade to any Nikon right now. Nikon is on the verge of coming out with a real mirrorless. I would wait and see before buying another DSLR body.
The article I read says Nikon will not have a mirrorless until spring of 2019

Yes. Bigger pixels have better low light performance and less noise. And anything more than 16 MP is not going to be visibly distinguishable to the human eye at normal viewing distances.
Fewer pixels also decreases processing time with potentially faster frame rates, but I think in this case the sensor clearly offers better high ISO performance with less noise.

Which is probably why the Nikon Df has "only" 16mp.

As a Nikon D810 user, I have found it to be quite a machine and with a native ISO of 62 and crisp and clean through ISO 12800 I find it suits anything I find myself up against. I've bought reconditioned Nikon cameras from established dealers in the past with no problems nor reservations. One was a D3 which was beast and a true professional grade camera. The D810 is ideally suited for landscapes, architecture, general venues and portraits. The D500 and its big brother the D5 are the speed demons of the group and well suited for wildlife and sports.
Correct metering is highly important in low-light photography and most who are not happy with their camera's low light performance is due to improper metering for the situation.

True. I have one. In this case, the 16-300 would have to be replaced with something (It's a DX lens), and that would jack up the price of the overall purchase.

Nikon has designed a new "Z" mount for their upcoming full frame and cropped sensor mirrorless cameras. Its flange distance is much less than the current system. Maybe it will be compatible with an adapter.

I would suggest the 7200, refurbished. The money you save buy a faster lens. Or go on a trip.
