You do know the K-3 is 8.3 fps don't you?
Plus the K-3ii has dual card slots.
The 50 shot buffer of the D7500 is impressive, but it should be better given that it's 4 MP less resolution.
I don't want a touch screen, i have a flu card for wifi and remote trigger.
I don't use flash, so flash sync speed is irrelevant.
And it's very likely that the AF.s speed will also be inferior to the K-3s.
Maybe in the next incarnation Nikon will actually catch up in some area most people find important, AF.s speed, MP etc. They are really good at the frills though.
But it is nice that Nikon has a released a model that has caught up to and in some cases surpassed a 4 year old K-3, you do understand that we'll probably be seeing a K-3 replacement in the next few months and Nikon will once again be almost completely inferior as opposed to just half inferior. They will have their 51 point coms grid and better tacking AF.c, and probably larger buffer. For most of us it's about image IQ, not the frills. I don't think Nikon has a chance to keep up going with a 20 MP sensor.
Looking at the KP, I seriously doubt the D7500 is in any way going to be ahead in ISO, it's 51,000 ISO is already behind the KP with it's super-high sensitivity ISO 819200 the Nikon 51200 ISO.
I look at the Nikon 7500 and I see nothing meaningful that I'd pay money for as a K-3 owner. Especially since I've learned to work comfortably with a 23 frame buffer, and 8.3 fps. And the K-3 is a 4 year old system.
Better to wait for the next PentaxAPS-c flagship, like the K-3 compared to the D7500, the Pentax will probably have more of what you want, and less of the stuff you don't care about, with whatever Pentax has decided to develop over the last 4 years as a benefit. Tilt screen, third dial, great menu layout and ergonomics, WR and a stable of WR lenses, some for very reasonable prices.
Plus Shapke Reduction and Pixel Shift and Astrotracer, things Nikon will probably never have.
Release price is 1299 a K-3ii has both shake reduction, a built in GPS, astracer, and pixel shift for $899. More of what i want, less of what i don't want.
The Nikon may have superior tracking, but it has nothing to compete with Pixel Shift image resolution or IQ. You can have tracking on the Nikon, but the faster AF.s and better IQ available on the Pentax would still be things in favour of Pentax for people buying to day. And you can get a great lens for the $400 you save. And with Pentax you have shake reduction on every lens ever made in both K-mount and M42.
