Nikon's new D7500 isn't as beastly as the D500, but it still packs a serious bite.
8 fps continuous shooting ; 3D AF tracking works very well ; Image buffer holds 50 uncompressed RAWs ; Dust- and splash-proof ; 4K video
Lacks some high-end features of D7200 ; 4K video is severely cropped
Expert review by : Jim Fisher (pcmag.com)
The Nikon D7500 SLR inherits many of the features of the flagship D500 and is available for a lot less money, but omits some features found in previous D7000 models.
20.9MP APS-C image sensor. 8.1fps continuous shooting. 50-shot Raw, 100-shot JPG buffer. 51-point autofocus system. Tilting touch LCD. Weather-sealed body. 4K video capture. SnapBridge Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
4K video is cropped. Autofocus system not as robust as D500. Only one memory card slot. Omits Depth of Field Preview function. No battery grip option.
The Nikon D7500 takes two steps forward from the D7200, and then turns around to take a step back. It offers some serious improvements—a faster capture rate with a large shooting buffer, a more robust implementation of a trusted autofocus system,...

Think of it as a D500-light, which is essentially a miniature D5, Nikon's flagship sports camera. In other words, the D7500 is built for speed. And it delivers.

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

When looking at and testing a new camera, reviewers often subconsciously compare the new model to a previous camera from the same manufacturer. When I was holding and testing the Nikon D7500 recently, I kept thinking back to the Nikon D500. And that's...

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.

It's no longer the DX-format flagship, but the Nikon D7500 is nevertheless an extremely capable camera, and comes with a pricetag that's much more affordable than the D500, despite including the same imaging pipeline and many of the same features. Its...

The Nikon D7500 offers an appealing combination of speed, features, robustness and features... and prices are down!
Good high ISO performance ; 4K video ; 8fps continuous shooting
Only one card slot ; No battery grip provision ; No real gains in image quality
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. At...
