yup new camera time and im really torn which way to go, on a d5100 at the mo which has done well but well its old and as im off to Tokyo end of the year i want a new toy that can handle low light better.

so anyone used both of these and got any thoughts as im changing my mind daily it seems from one to the other. :rolleyes:

get all that D.P. just wanted to know if anyone had used both and their view. im not exactly tied in one direction so will end up using it for all sorts of stuff, hence i was after more of a users view than what is either cameras strong point. thanks for the info though

first up had the 5100 for over 4 years now, not a bad body but wanted a upgrade also wanted something weather sealed and a bit more robust.

on what i shoot alone im probably more leaning to the d500, but was looking at a d750 for the better low light capability. this is why i was after some general thoughts on if anyone had used both.

richdog i know my arse from my elbow thank you very much. the reason i didnt want to get in to the "what do you shoot" chat is i shoot whatever catches my fancy in front of me, i know its not the supposed done thing nowadays and everyone expects you to shoot specifics one way or another but i just enjoy getting out shooting when i can. hence i was asking if anyone had used both and what their views of them using them against each other, sure i can look at specs and list at what each one does well, but as i dont just shoot wildlife or just shoot landscapes or portraits so its hard to say "yeah thats the one for me"

as for the low light side DP its more just been a case when i have been out early morning or late on iv always wanted just that big better ability i know it cant make a huge difference but every little helps when the sun starts to drop. also with our gloomy weather it cant hurt.

D.P. said:
If the OP Is using d5100 and a 17-55mm f/2.8 and getting poor results they probably need to invest in of some books and classes over more gear. Comsidering the OP has seemingly abandoned this thread he was probably a naive begginer wanting a new toy as a quick fix to improve his photos. The person behind the camera is probably more limiting than the camera itself.

well after that bit of advice il abandon the thread as it seems one or two in here are more up for mocking people or making random comments to get their jollies.
