Announced in early January, the D7500 is the latest model in a long line of DSLRs for photo enthusiasts that began with the D70 back in January 2004. The new model replaces the D7200 and uses the 20-megapixel sensor from the D500 to enable 4K video and a faster continuous frame rate, albeit with a...

The Nikon D7500 takes two steps forward from the D7200, and then turns around to take a step back. It offers some serious improvements-a faster capture rate with a large shooting buffer, a more robust implementation of a trusted autofocus system, better protection against dust and moisture, 4K video...

I have been wanting a nikon camera for years and researched for a long time which one to buy; Had to wait til this one was released but am so glad I did as I absolutely love it; I brought it body only and then brought a couple of lens that I would use more than the kit lens

"Compared to D7200: =- lighter =- smaller =- better colours excellent image quality =- better metering =- better ISO performance - 8 FPS =- tilting touch screen - 4K video Compared to D500 =- better high ISO performance (as per DXOMark.com) =- better image quality - less functionality (restricted...

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

The Nikon D7500 is a solid performer that can tackle a number of different subjects with ease. The D7500 doesn't have the speed of the D500, but offers excellent performance for a lower price and offers excellent image quality from the APS-C category as well.

Excellent speed and performance; Solid image quality; Tilting LCD screen; Plenty of physical controls; 4K video; Weather sealing

No dual SD card slots; Bluetooth connectivity issues; Slightly lower resolution than the D7200

On paper, it might seem like the Nikon D7500 is a step back from its predecessor, the D7200. The D7500 has fewer megapixels (20 MP, as opposed to 24 MP in the D7200), lacks a second card slot and doesn't work with older lenses.

Excellent image quality; Speedy continuous shooting; Fast autofocus; Responsive touch screen; Extensive feature set

No dual card slots; 4K video cropped; AF erratic in video capture

by Mike Tomkins | Posted: 09/27/2017 When Nikon launched its D7000 DSLR back in late 2011, you could say that it created something of an instant classic. The D7000 perfectly hit the sweet spot for enthusiasts and even as a second or third body for many pros.

New carbon fiber body is light, compact and very comfortable; Same excellent image quality as the flagship D500; Quick 8.2 frames per second burst shooting with generous buffer; Very fast, accurate autofocus; Tilting touch-screen display; Very good battery life; Records ultra high-def 4K and 60fps...

White balance tends warm under incandescent lights; Only a single flash card slot; Doesn't support portrait / battery grip accessories; No rear infrared receiver any more; non-CPU AI lenses will be manual only; 4K video comes with a heavy crop; Movie AF is prone to hunting, Extended ISO...

Best of all, many of the interior components that helped make the D500 such a great camera have been included in the D7500. Importantly, the D7500 has both the same image sensor and image processor as the D500, which results in excellent image quality across the board.

Excellent image quality in all shooting conditions; Slightly smaller and lighter camera body than most DSLRs; 4K video recording capability; Large and sharp 3.2-inch LCD screen that also tilts and has touch capabilities; 8 frames per second burst shooting mode; Buffer holds more than 100 JPEG images...

ISO performance in extended range isn't really usable; Some noticeable noise at high native ISO settings; Only one memory card slot; JPEG images occasionally seem a little overprocessed; Video recording options are a bit limited and performance could be better; Focusing is slow when shooting in Live...

The Nikon D7500 is a DSLR designed for enthusiast photographers. With a 20.9-megapixel DX format sensor and 8fps shooting, it sits between the D5600 and the D500 in Nikon's range, and costs around £1300 for the body only.
