I upgraded from my ancient Canon 450D. I did about 4-5 months of research, before getting this. Initially planned on getting a mirrorless camera because of their convenience, but Nikon only had the Z6 and Z7 in the market then, which were both out of my budget, so I was waiting for the Z50.

Initially purchased the D5600, but quickly realized it was too basic for me. Upgrades to the D7500 and absolutely love it. Great camera for an amateur photographer with lots of setting and options that are similar to professional level cameras.

I really like what this camera and lens can do. It is quick and easy to focus on any subject I choose without the lens hunting for focus. I leave the iso ceiling at 8000. I see too much noise above that, but if I just wanted the shot I would have no problem pushing it past that.

Quick and crisp focus; I've stopped bee wings in flight with1/8000; The focus ring on the lens is movable even in auto focus, so if the camera has chosen the wrong focal point, you can override it; The animal behind these bars problem Push the focus behind the bars

Snapbridge Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections chew up the battery; The Wi-Fi is particularly hard to use, so much so I can't see using it in the field; Not worth the effort and diminishing returns for what it costs in battery life

Loving this body as an upgrade, not for a novice though as a first time photographer but ideal as I have upgraded from a Nikon 3200 Gutted that there was a large price reduction shortly after my purchase but that's life.

Purchased at the begining of 2019 whilst on sale, absoloutly blown away by the burst speed and the low light performance. Incredible image quality, and the video is quiet good aswell. Highly recomended for any Pro-sumer, although look around and see if you can get one on sale.

15MAY2019 "Upgraded" (this week) from the Nikon D700 to the D7500 Yes! At 57, with a two year old grandson who never sits still, a smaller "kit" to lug around and 10 year newer/faster auto-focus capability, with higher frame rate at 8FPS, is becoming more important than the Fx "advantage".

Great camera

I am especialy enjoying the speed of autofocus, the crisp sharp images and learning so many new features available.

I had been looking to upgrade to this camera for a while and couldn't beat Harvey Norman for price. Extremely happy with this camera so far.

Your camera takes good pictures goes the joke. It is no joke with the D7500. I have used the Coolpx P900 for ~two years. I have never used a DSLR. The D7500 is my first. The pix with this review were taken on the first two days I owned it. These pix were shot on shutter preferred and manual.
