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...

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.

This latest addition to Nikon's DSLR line-up represents the biggest revamp we've seen in the D7xxx series since the D7000 replaced the D90. The combination of Nikon's 20.9MP sensor and EXPEED 5 image processing engine from the D500 in an even more compact and affordable body is bound to be a...

Brilliant sensor; Excellent high-ISO performance; Advanced AF system; 8fps burst shooting; Tilt-angle screen

Low rear screen resolution; Only one SD card slot; Live View focusing still slow

The latest addition to Nikon's DSLR arsenal is one of the biggest revamps we've seen on the D7000 series cameras. The Nikon D7500 is a great DSLR that performs amazingly under both low-light and bright light conditions.

Great Picture Quality; Rugged Build; Snappy controls; Very fast and Accurate autofocus in well-lit conditions; Long lasting battery life; Excellent touch response

Slightly bulky; No NFC connectivity; Only Single SD card slot

Overall, the Nikon D7500 would suit someone who is fairly serious about their photography and wants to get the most out of their camera. Someone who wants to take a lot of photos and also wants a model that is capable of doing many different types of photography.

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.

I purchased this to replace a D7100, which I purchased because I was tired of waiting for the D400 (we now know as the D500) that never showed up. My main issues with the D7100 were it's buffer for high-speed bursts, and the ISO performance when pushing raw images in post processing.

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

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.

this is a really great camera kit, especially for a beginner. I generally take good pictures, but I've never used a "real" camera like this. I did the free Nikon seminar online to learn some of the features and it really helped me use the "scene" programming to capture wildlife in different lights...
