With Nikon's Expeed 5 processor on board, the D7500 offers a standard sensitivity range of ISO 100-51,200, which is expandable up to ISO 1,640,000. As we'll see, these hugely extended ISOs don't give great results, but that shouldn't mask the fact that this sensor delivers excellent high-ISO image...

Excellent control layout and handling; Great image quality up to very high ISO settings; Excellent autofocus using the viewfinder; Tilting screen a big improvement on previous D7000-series models

Slow Live View autofocus; SnapBridge connectivity lacking in features; Only a single SD card slot; where previous D7000-series models had two

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 Nikon D7500 features the 20.9 megapixel APS-C (DX) sensor from the Nikon D500 and offers 8fps continuous shooting, a 51-point AF system, 4K UHD video recording, and a tilting 3.2inch touch-screen.

Nikon's new D7500 isn't as beastly as the D500, but it still packs a serious bite.

Lacks some high-end features of D7200; 4K video is severely cropped

Amazing picture quality. Recently upgraded from my basic DSLR. Very handy and easy operations.

Externally, not much has changed about the D7500's designed compared to its predecessor. The D7500 maintains its position as a compact yet capable twin dial DSLR geared toward enthusiasts.

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;

The D7500 is Nikon's latest enthusiast level DSLR. It features the same 20.9 megapixel APS-C sized sensor as found in the top-of-the-line D500, making it a good alternative for those who are tempted by the more expensive camera but don't quite have the budget available.

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.
