>>4457599A new camera won't mean you will take better photos.
D7000 series has a fairly full feature set for serious photography. It was sold as the serious hobbyist camera, and gives you everything you need for good photos.
Upgrading the photographer will be cheaper *and more effective* than upgrading the camera.
Only upgrade the camera if you have the money to blow or you need something this camera doesn't offer.
You probably don't need something this camera doesn't offer.
>i need good autofocus! D7500 has decent autofocus -- learn to use it, it's not press-button-get-in-focus-photo tier like Snoy cameras, but with some practice and skill it'll do birds-in-flight and sports just fine.
>i need low light performance!learn to utilize contrast in the scene and make creative use of light sources. Nighttime street photography seriously seldom needs ISO higher than 800-1600. Honestly, stop treating ISO as a way to deal with low light and start treating ISO as a way to increase shutter speeds or getting increased depth of field. Creativity is the proper way to deal with low light.
>i need full frame!No you don't.
>but shallow depth of field!f/4 full frame, f/2.8 APSC, is honestly sufficiently shallow enough depth of field. Again, this is a creative limitation, not a technical one. Get better at perspective, composition, contrast, lighting, color, and that'll produce much better photos than gratuitous bokeh.
