Better than some full frames in this price bracket. More than fills the gap between the D7200 and the D500 in Nikon's APS-C range.
Excellent image performance; Even lighter than the D7200; Competitively priced; Versatile - landscape or close-up; the lens does the job
No second card slot; Less pixels in the image sensor - Effect? Not much at all; VR Lens isn't compatible with any Nikon camera models released prior to 2013
