Yes unless the equipment is defective.

Which ever camera you decide upon, consider another camera store. Most of what i'm seeing right now the D750 is $150 more than the D7500 ($1150 compared to $1300). Lenses will be a big difference in cost going from DX to FX, so take an inventory of what you have, what you'll need with either format and let that help you in your decision.

It's irrelevant what others think. No one knows better than you. Which one satisfies your needs?

Why limit yourself to a Nikon DSLR. There are better options available.

The D750 is the best camera I've ever head.

I took the D750 and wouldn't go back, but if BIF is important to you, (you already have that long lens) and you don't need a built-in flash, hold out just a little bit longer (save a bit more!) and get the D500.

Great shots Steve, thank you for sharing.

If you wish to go FF , then I would pursue the D750......it is a very good camera and will not disappoint you in any way. And always buy the best Glass you can afford to complement that incredible camera as well. You'll never go back after that.

I just upgraded my D3200 to a D7500 and am very happy with my decision. It has the same sensor and expeed 5 processor as the D500 and shoots 2 frames a second faster than the D750. Unless you are absolutely dead set on a full frame camera and feel the need for two card slots, I would buy the D7500

I have the D7500 as well and am very happy with it. I use a Tamron 100-400 mm lens as my main birding lens.

I wouldn’t go to Best Buy for advice. Chances are they’re not even photographers. Did they talk about what your needs were before they recommended the D750? I’m guessing they have their own monetary reasons for pushing it. Now the D750 is a great camera, but the D7500 is a fine camera too and will work with your existing lenses. For my money I’d spring for a refurb D500 for $1350 and add an extended drop/spill warranty.

Are you prepared to spend a LOT more money on your lens? FX lens costs a lot more $$ than DX lens. Consider the D500. An excellent camera that is DX format.

TI own both of those cameras the 750 is a full frame camera ,and is a great camera I recently aquire the 7500 it's a crop frame sensor and focus the same as the 500 with one caveat only one slot for a memory card and less bells and whistles than the 500 if you are a amateur and just starting the 7500 should serve you well, however with the 750 you will need fx lenses and there you will have to dig into your povketbook.

The D7500... or D500... or, for that matter, D7200 would be your best bet.

All three are DX cameras. Those give you "extra reach" over an FX camera like the D750.

IF you were mostly interested in portraiture (people, not birds)... or landscapes... or architecture... maybe even macro... the 24MP D750 FX would be a fine choice. It requires FX lenses, to get the best out of it (can be used with DX lenses, but the cropped images will be under 10MP).

But for birding... sports... wildlife...the 21MP D500 DX is a top choice. The 21MP D7500 DX is close behind, sort of a scaled down version of the D500. The 24MP D7200 DX is very good, too... higher resolution than the other two (same resolution as D750), still fast tho just a little slower... and is very seriously discounted right now.

All four would be a nice upgrade from a D3000-series or D5000-series DX camera. All four have a true pentaprism (instead of a penta-mirror like the D3000/5000 use), which makes for a bigger, brighter 100% viewfinders. All four have the in-body focusing motor that allows older Nikkor AF lenses (and similar) to be used. Those lenses are unable to autofocus on D3000/D5000-series cameras, which don't have the in-body focusing motor. Those cameras can only autofocus AF-S and AF-P lenses (the latter requires more recent model D3000/D5000-series). All four cameras use the EN-EL15 type battery. All four can optionally be fitted with a grip for added battery capacity and vertical controls.
