This whole Amazon thing explains a lot now. Thanks Shun. I have never really paid too much stock in their reviews. In the beginning though I thought they were great. But I thought they lost their way a long time ago.

Shun, How is the auto focus speed compared to the D500?

Excellent captures folks. I especially like Line Martel;s picture

''What a way for Nikon to shoot themselves in the foot: should pre-order a D7500 for $1250 now and wait until summer to take delivery or should I go for a proven D750 for $1500 now (and get a free MB-D16 thrown in)? Need a lens with that? How about $1750 for a D7500/18-140 combo vs $2K for a D750/24-120? A $250 difference to go FX - what's there to think about?'' - Yep, exactly my thought when I ordered a D-750 for my wife today. What a great deal on that body especially with the grip, memory card, bag U.S. warranty (Mine is gray market)

Personally. I love fastone image viewer. Free and string. It reads all RAW files and allows editing. Even though I have an yearly subscription to Photoshop, I use FASTONE 90% of the time for everything.

I have really enjoyed this thread and like many, I am torn slightly. My one and only wish in regards to the D7200 has been that it had group focusing. For street photography, I use that 99% of the time. I had often wished Nikon would have put it in the D7200 with a firmware upgrade, but it never came. So when it came in the D7500, I said to myself. I will be purchasing one as soon as it becomes available. The lighter weight is also a plus. The focus mechanism is the most important thing to me in a camera. This is why I use Nikon. So here is I what decided to do after much reading and pondering. It does bother me that there will be no grip for it as I find the grip to be very useful as I have rather large hands and the balance is better with it. First off, let me start with this. I do have all three D7XXX bodies as well as a D5, D500, D750 and D800E If you look through my Flicker or blog space, it becomes obvious which cameras are my favorite as I leave all the EXIF data. When shooting full frame, I will reach for my D750 90% of the time. The weight and size is perfect for me. The focus is blazing fast and the low light high ISO performance is killer great. (Though not in a league with the D5 or D500, nothing is). When shooting with a crop body, I do reach for my D7200 about 60-70% of the time. Auto focus speed is about the same as the D750 and ISO performance is great. About a full stop less than the D750. In fact, the only time I really use the D500 is when I will be going late into the night and need the low light performance of this beast. But I will say this. The sensor in the D7200 in my opinion is better than the sensor in the D500. The colors are more vibrant, ISO I could swear is also better. (I am a jpeg shooter) The lighter weight is great. So in my view, the only thing I would be gaining in the D7500 would be a little quicker auto focus and group focusing. I would be loosing my grip and jpegs from the sensor. So I decided to pass on it. If I needed the body or my D7200 dies, Then I would rather buy me another D750. I can buy another gray market D750 for a couple of hundred dollars more and have a much better camera. So I will be passing on the D7500. I will wait for the D750 upgrade if it ever comes, but truth be told. How do you even improve really on what is out there.

Thank folks I really appreciate the responses. As of today, I am leaning to the X-T2 and 23F/1.4 My understanding is that the lens on the X100F is the same as the X100 (which I did own for a little while) and as such, it is soft wide open. I will confess that I am spoiled by Nikon lenses wide open and it would bug me not to be able to get similar results from the Fuji. I love low light shooting so Lens aperture is important to me. But having said that, I am not sure the fuji can even focus in the dark. The reviews seem to indicate they struggle in low light. Where the Nikon is king. So after writing this response, I will be getting the X-T2. Thanks for the advise folks. javier

Greetings folks, I never thought I would be asking this type of question, but here it goes. I can't decide between these two cameras. What I am after is sheer performance, mostly auto focus speed. I have read and viewed videos and truly I can't decide. I love street photography and that will be my main use of this. The money difference is significant and I am wondering if it is worth the difference. I do use quite a bit of my Nikon lenses at 1.4 hence my choice of lens. Having said that, F/2.0 will work for me as well. I am leaning to the X-T2 but feel I might regret not getting the X100F. Confused old bird here. What would you choose and why?
