The D7300 could be a D500 on a Budget

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. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Nikon also lagged far behind Canon in DSLR development quite some years ago. They don't any longer, they've surpassed Canon in some respects. I suspect that soon enough they will have serious competitive cameras in the mirrorless market. |

They don't any longer, they've surpassed Canon in some respects. in every respect, other than gps/wifi, which canon's implementation is rather good. I suspect that soon enough they will have serious competitive cameras in the mirrorless market. maybe. meanwhile, the entire camera industry is hurting due to smartphones. |
