Nikon refreshed its mid-range DSLR line up this April with the introduction of the D7500. This DX-format DSLR succeeds the D7200 and brings much-needed features such as faster focusing and 4K video recording in a package that costs under Rs. 1,00,000.

Image and video quality similar to that of the D500; SnapBridge is useful; Good feature set; 4K video support; Decent battery life

No second SD card slot; Slow autofocus in live view; A bit bulky

My husband bought me this to help me get started in the world of photography and the quality is amazing, even on auto whilst I'm learning about adjusting the iso, aperture and shutter speed! Very nice layout, easy to use and has some great features!!

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.

If you're serious about photography, this Nikon DSLR is an almost perfect place to start....

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.

Excellent image quality in all shooting conditions; Slightly smaller and lighter camera body than most DSLRs; 4K video recording capability; Large and sharp 3.2-inch LCD screen that also tilts and has touch capabilities; 8 frames per second burst shooting mode; Buffer holds more than 100 JPEG images...

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...

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...

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.

On paper, it might seem like the Nikon D7500 is a step back from its predecessor, the D7200. The D7500 has fewer megapixels (20 MP, as opposed to 24 MP in the D7200), lacks a second card slot and doesn't work with older lenses.

Excellent image quality; Speedy continuous shooting; Fast autofocus; Responsive touch screen; Extensive feature set

No dual card slots; 4K video cropped; AF erratic in video capture

A number of new features are now in the Nikon D7500 -- but a few of them are missing too.

Excellent speed and performance; Solid image quality; Tilting LCD screen; Plenty of physical controls; 4K video; Weather sealing

No dual SD card slots; Bluetooth connectivity issues; Slightly lower resolution than the D7200

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
