If you don't mind its DSLR bulk, this is one of the best all-rounders you can buy at this price

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.

The D500 is great, but as a pro-level camera its price puts it out of reach for many. The fact that the D7500 has many of the same components, specifically those that determine image quality, makes it very attractive.

First introduced in April 2017 , Nikon D7500 is a 21.0MP Advanced DSLR camera with a APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor, built-in Image Stabilization , Tilting touch screen and Nikon F lens mount. Nikon replaced the older D7200 with this model.

The D7500 sits in that classic 'step-up' zone for those looking for a smattering of pro features in a smaller, cheaper form factor than pro cams. In this sense, it's among the best out there, particularly if you're craving a D500 but don't have the cash to buy it. You're essentially getting a D500 in a cheaper body - and depending on what you shoot, that's no bad thing. If you’re an all-round type of shooter, with no particular favourite genre, or you tend to mainly shoot still subjects, the D7500 arguably makes more sense than its pricier sibling. But if you like to shoot action and fast moving subjects, the D500, while more expensive, is better suited to the task at hand. The same goes for low light shooting. Still, beyond mirrorless compact system cams like the Fujifilm X-T2, the only real alternative to the D7500 is Canon's EOS 80D. That's still a fantastic camera and now available for under £1000, but the D7500's burst shooting, viewfinder and autofocus see it edge just ahead as our favourite DSLR at this price.

It's been a while since Nikon made any substantive changes to this enthusiast-focused series of dSLRs. The D7100 was the last major update, and that was in 2013; the subsequent D7200 pretty much rested on the D7100's laurels. But with the D7500, the every-other-year pendulum swings back to deliver some notable enhancements, many of which are inherited from last year's D500 -- hence the model number jump.

Nikon finally adds a tilting screen to its dSLR for shooting action on a budget but made a couple sacrifices along the way.

The D7500 is an outstanding stills camera and a refinement of an already excellent DSLR. It brings added speed and buffer depth to the enthusiast level and adds improved subject recognition. More comfortable to hold than its predecessor, the addition of a tilting touchscreen only adds to the camera's excellent ergonomics. And while 4K video is a nice selling point, the 1.5x crop and crummy video AF dim its appeal for movie makers. But for stills shooters, the D7500 is one beast of a camera.

Sports and action shooters. Anyone looking for a traditional, well-featured DSLR for stills shooting.;

Videographers. Travel photographers who might be happier with a smaller, lighter body;

Nikon made a lot of photographers very happy with the release of the D500 last year. Its flagship DX (APS-C) SLR was long overdue, but arrived with an incredible autofocus system, 10fps capture, and 4K video support. But at $2,000 as a body only, buyers without deep photography budgets were left out in the cold. Now Nikon is updating its D7200 midrange body with a new model, the D7500 ($1,249.95, body only), which includes several of the innovations offered by the D500 for significantly less money. If you've lusted after the flagship DX model, but found that you just can't justify the cost or don't need all of its top-tier features, the D7500 is worth a look. It's not good enough to oust the D500 as our Editors' Choice, but it's a solid alternative for Nikon shooters for whom the D500 is out of reach. Design The D7500 follows Nikon's design paradigm to a tee. The black SLR has a red stripe on the grip, an accent that dates back to the company's film days. The body measures 4.1 by ...
