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

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.

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;

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 D7500 has a lot going for it. As we've covered so far, the autofocus, image quality, and ergonomics of this camera are all excellent, and the video quality is enough to satisfy this camera's core audience (who are interested in photography first, videos second – or not at all).

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.
