The D7300 could be a D500 on a Budget
 

Could be a nice sidekick for Nikonians that have gone FF and a comeback
route for frustrated strayers. Do you still have your glass Duck?

Some may not be happy they're going backward with resolution. I'd have
offered it with 30mp, higher resolution, something new, same characteristics
as an Olympus m4/3rds, same pixel density. But just another DSLR won't work
toward reversing their fortunes, that's for sure.

There are a lot of raving about the IQ of the D500 so putting that
sensor in a lower speced body makes sense to me. If the IQ is preserved
while frame rate, buffer and build are inferior to the D500 then quite a
few photogs might think that it could be a nice alternative to moving
over to Canon and the 80D, if they are into Nikon.

20 to 24 MP is just fine. My feeling is for the price difference I
would prefer the D500. However, if the D500 had come along 2 years ago
as a D300 replacement I would be shooting with it today, but it was
just too late and it is still a DSLR, and I have been converted to the
Fujifilm X-Cameras. That said I still have my D300S and my Nikkor glass.

If the street price will reflect the RRP quota of 60% indicated in the
comments of the cited page than it will be very competitive and
desirable for serious enthusiast that might not think that they need pro
build and buffer.

I have found the focus system in the D7100 to be inferior to that in
the D200/D300 and especially D500 in my use. I am not of fan of
replacing AF-S with AF-A.

@Duck: Ever considered keeping the Fuji with a walkabout and ditch the
other Fuji stuff to get a D500?

Not yet. I have 4 Fujicon X lenses, and if anything I plan to buy
three, or four more. I actually like the Fujifilm X-system, and I enjoy
shooting with it. I have no complaints with the glass which has been of
excellent build and quality.

I am going to retain my D300S and my Nikkor glass for those times I
might have a preference of a DSLR. For now a D500 and any new Nikkor
glass will have to wait.

Oki... It's the XT2 for you then. Interesting camera true, but I thought
that you were more of a RILC guy at heart and that you're not beyond
that safe "Point of Safe Return" just yet...

If you are short on storage space, send me your D300S Nikon lenses and
I'll take care of them while you use your Fujifim.

He could send along a D500 for you so that you can through it's paces
for him. Be sure to report back to the group!

That depends on what you are looking for, I might consider a loan of a
lens or two.
