the d7200 much like my old d7100 but the cheap option but not out of the running

thanks
 
I had my heart set on a D750 - until I picked one up in a shop. After 7 years of using a D700 it felt like a step back to my old D70. So I bought a D810, it just felt 'right'.
It's the advice everyone gives but go and handle them in a shop if you can. You can stare at spec sheets, reviews and opinions all day long, but unless there's a unique feature you require for your photography, then you can't beat picking one up and having a play. Let's face it they're all damn good cameras.

Where the D500 excels is with AF and speed so for planes, birds & motorcycle racing it is ideal ... plus of course it gives you extra 'reach'.
The D810 shares Group Area-AF which is very good but otherwise it doesn't match the D500 AF ... it can produce very clean images as it deals with low-light very well, but it isn't fast by any means.
If you don't need the super AF and/or speed but like the 'reach' of DX, together with good image quality, you don't need to look beyond the D7200 IMO :)
 
D500 is the best for what you shoot but do you need it?
 
Very similar to you - have a D300 (as not worth selling it) and a D700 as backup. I ended up going for the D750 18 months ish ago and like it a lot. ISO is excellent, and IQ is great. In an ideal world this would come in a D700 body, as this does feel more solid. That said build quality is fine and while i miss the size and weight, its nice at times being lighter. For planes I use a Tamron 150-600 and while it would be nice to have the extra reach, in reality handholding at 1/250 will get very few keepers at 800/900mm!!!
