Best of all, many of the interior components that helped make the D500 such a great camera have been included in the D7500. Importantly, the D7500 has both the same image sensor and image processor as the D500, which results in excellent image quality across the board.

  ISO performance in extended range isn't really usable, Some noticeable noise at high native ISO settings, Only one memory card slot, JPEG images occasionally seem a little overprocessed, Video recording options are a bit limited and performance could be better, Focusing is slow when shooting in Live...

In the spirit of full disclosure I have to say that I am highly biased in favor of DSLRs over mirrorless cameras, save one or two exceptions. One of the main reasons is that I can actually see what is in the image, and focus and compose accordingly, with a DSLR finder much better than I can with an...

Nikon's decision to drop the resolution of its top APS-C DSLRs to 20 megapixels was a surprise to many and this has a slight impact on the D7500’s outright resolution – but its speed, low-light performance and overall image quality are first rate.

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

As a student who used school's D7200 for almost 3 years, I made my first purchase for a usable DSLR last summer. Just because D7200 is already too good for anyone range from a photography newbie to a semi-pro enthusiasts, I purchased D7500 after graduated from high school. It's PERFECT.

This is the first Nikon in the D7xxx series that has an all carbon fiber body. It's strong but also a little lighter than previous cameras in the series. I also have a D500 and D750 that have a magnesium body. When I first picked up the D7500, it felt warm to the touch.

I'm still learning all of the ins and outs of this camera. I was previously a Canon user, but decided to try out a NIkon. Subtle differences, but similar as far as operation. It is lighter weight, I noticed that right away.

The D7500 is a good camera for the person with some DSLR experience. Simple to use a has good features... this is my second Nikon and so far it been good.

I am especialy enjoying the speed of autofocus, the crisp sharp images and learning so many new features available.

For this hobby-enthusiast who primarily shoots wildlife and nature, this D7500 is perfect! Its size and weight (even with long glass) is great for all-day hiking, hand-held or tripod setup shots. It's fast for capturing moving subjects, and excellent for "golden hour" and low-light shooting!
