As Nikon’s DX product lineup completes a transition that sees it return a full circle to where it was in 2008, the D7500 finds itself in a slightly awkward position. On one hand, it is the most capable camera the series has ever seen, with significant speed improvements and refined ergonomics.

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

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.

For enthusiasts who are excited by the D500 but didn’t want to spend the high asking price it commands, the Nikon D7500 is a great alternative. With it, you almost get a mini D500, especially given that it uses the same sensor and processor combination.

So far, there is nothing I dislike about this camera. I upgraded from a D7100 (and I'm saying upgraded because, contrarily to what some people may erroneously think, it is an upgrade). I too read some negative feedback, mainly about the single card slot versus 2.

Very nice camera. The bluetooth and wifi are very cool. Pictures just show up on your phone as if you had taken the picture with the phone but better.

Fun camera. Great bundle.

Camera is really nice to hold, a great tool to help capture some great shots. Nice size and weight.

Before I start, these are simply my own impressions. I was once a professional photographer way back in the days of film and photographed over 600 weddings, as well as sports teams and schools. Nowadays I am just an amateur who sells prints once in awhile.
