$5000 is over my budget. I would rather go with the D7500 over the D7200. I had a Panasonic camera, not the G9. I got back in 2005, and it worked fine for 15 years. On the website camera decision, they both Panasonic in top 5 for mirrorless.
That is true, and that is why I am nerves about switching. I already have a nice NikonAF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 G and Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 55:300mm 1:4.5-5.6 GED. I take, I think great photos with them both.
I checked out the ISO "low" and I still have questions about it. As to William point the mirrorless are excellent for travel, and for the three years I had that D7100, it worked fine (until the LCD screen stop working). I was watching reviews on the Olympus and Z-50 and battery life concern me. It seem every one talked about taking extra batteries. The Olympus and Z-50 can be charged using USB port. When I took the D7100 to Europe in 2017, I never used the extra battery. The same was true on the cruise to Caribbean in 2019. I only used the LCD to make sure the photos were in focus and correct exposure. There are gives and take on no matter what camera I choose. If the LCD screen wasn't broken on the D7100 and if it didn't cost +$300 to fix, I would be happy with D7100. But seeing the D7500 came down for the holidays, it worth upgrading to a new camera. On the D7500, the promo stated it's a camera that will last a life time, that was what I thought the D7100 would. The camera before that, I had for 15 years before it broke, and film camera still work. I appreciate everyone input.
Thanks for the input, I am also leaning to D7500, because I already have 2 lenses and just need the body. I notice they also have D500 and D750 body only one sales, so I might shoot for the stars and go for the D750 over the D7500. The D7500 is less than D750, but the D750 is better camera. In either case, I am leaning toward the Nikon, it just that I had a bad experience with the LCD breaking on the D7100. I didn't drop the camera, but to get push into my collar bone while taking pictures of a lighthouse on the Outer Banks. That is another story.
I am thinking about upgrade my Nikon D7100 to Olympus E-M5 iii or Nikon D7500. Both companies are having black Friday deals. My only issue with the Olympus E-M5 iii the lowest ISO is 200. I take many landscape and sunrise/sunset picture and I like using the ISO setting of 100 on the D7100. I am curious if having an ISO of 200 will be an issue. When I used film back in the day, the standard was 100 for every day used and 400 or 800 of evening photos and 200 was in between. The only issue I have with the D7500 is the LCD in the D7100 is broken and it will cost over $300 plus to repair. For a camera that should had lasted a life time (6 years or more) it did not. The Z-50 I think is out of the picture even though Nikon is offering a good deal, it doesn't have the capability I am looking for. It doesn't seem to fit my needs for great landscape photos. I checked the website camera decision and did a comparison, and seem the E-M5 iii and Z-50 is 1 and 2 for mirrorless at that range, but Z-50 is entry level while the E-M5 is immediate. Comparing the D7500 with E-M5 iii, both immediate cameras, the E-M5 iii score a little better. What do you think?
Thanks! if you can share the link, then that would be great!
While I was shooting some pictures over the weekend, my LCD screen in my Nikon D7100 went blank. I can see a yellow line on the screen. I can not see the settings, or view pictures. I read an article on the web stating that it is common issue with Nikon camera. Does anyone know how much it will cost to repair it, and who I can send it to get it fix. Thanks!

Hello,
I saw that video and tried that.
I am trying to connect my Nikon D7100 to a telescope. I have a ring adapter, and a borrow lens, but when I try to take a picture it is fuzzy. I am trying to connect to a Dobsonian type of telescope. What am I doing wrong and what do I need. The follow up questions, what would be correct setting on the camera for aperture and ISO?
I use it and like. The key is to AF-C set on.
Photoshop CC which incorporates Lightroom in the Camera Raw filter.
Hello,
I was there last September, unfortunately during the raining season, both cities are awesome. The town square and Warsaw old town are great places to start. The Royal way in Warsaw, and salt mine outside of Krakow.
