ARRRRGH! I keep wanting this D500... I could afford it if I sold my D750 and two lenses.. If I was able to sell them at reasonable used prices I would have enough to purchase a D500 and a second hand 17-55 2.8...
But doing so I lose 24mm and VR from selling my 24-70... my 70-200 2.8 mid range zoom becomes longer and well since I use the 70-200 for dance recitals and the like I won\'t be able to go as wide unless I spend money to buy a 50-150... I also lose the use of a backup body because well I planned to purchase a D7100 or D7200 this spring as a backup and to give myself the crop length...
But I would gain a much more usable spread of AF point selection due to the array covering most of the sensor... and the ISO might be decent enough for what I use as I cap my acceptable ISO on the D750 at 12800.... Or I could wait... I mean the 7Dmkii came out at 1799 and now sells used/slightly new/grey market around 1k-1.1k.... so maybe the D600 will have a precipitous drop in price? (Doubt it since I know the D750 came out at 2299 and still sells new for around 1800-1900...)
Decisions decisions! Sad part is I can\'t sell my camera now and pre-order because the wife would kill me if I was cameraless for any extended period of time... That and I am only speculating on the ISO and AF the D750 provides...
