Default The D7300 could be a D500 on a Budget

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.

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.


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


A 70-200 f/2.8 VR would be nice for shooting night baseball.


Unfortunately that is a lens which has always been on my wish list, so
you might have to hit up PeterN or a taste of his. My only f/2.8 is the
Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8, a sharp, fast lens, but not the sort of thing you
are looking for. Unless of course you are looking to explore shooting
wide.

My
55-300 f/4.5 is fine for daytime baseball, but my D300 doesn't handle
higher ISO well as you know.


That was one reason I got impatient when the D300 successor was long
over due, and it was begining to look as if Nikon was going to abandon
APS-C Prosumer DSLR's for FF, all at a time when performance in
consumer APS-C was improving. So I explored my options because I was
not going to make the move to FF. I was on the verge of considering a
D7100 or D7200, but those were not a D300S replacement, so in my
exploration I stumbled over the Fujifilm X-Series, and I made the leap
to mirrorless, and I couldn't be happier. By the time Nikon released
the D500 I had made the move to Fujifilm-X. The glass is very good and
the shooting experience suits me.

Today, if were asked to recommend cameras for low light, high ISO
performance APS-C camera, I would say, consider these; D500, X-Pro2,
X-T2, or X-T20.
