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).

I purchased this to replace a D7100, which I purchased because I was tired of waiting for the D400 (we now know as the D500) that never showed up. My main issues with the D7100 were it's buffer for high-speed bursts, and the ISO performance when pushing raw images in post processing.

Nikon is clearly sorting their DSLR into different market segments according to features. The new D7500 is built around their highest quality APS-C sensor paired with their mid-range 51-Point Phase-Detect AF sensor and the second fastest processor among DX cameras.

Clean JPEG images; Exceptional dynamic-range until ISO 800; Accurate and highly sensitive AF system; Ultra-short black-out; Flexible self-timer and exposure delay; Highly responsive; Good color-accuracy; Eye-Start Sensor; Manual focus assist direction indicator; Excellent build quality

Metering issues; Poor Automatic White-Balance in low-light; Some key features buried in Menu; Bizarre Auto ISO; Live-view not Exposure-Priority in Photo mode; Slow shot-to-shot speed; Instant Review delay; 1.5X crop for 4K

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

Why would I buy this It opened the door to a hobby I never thought I would enjoy. My phone isn't as great vs the camera, it allowed me to explore Italy, keep the memories, and showed me how and where I can grow as a photographer.

A great upgrade from my D90! Took it to Churchill to see the polar bears, 1 week after receiving, never let me down.

Nikon is currently celebrating its 100th year in the photographic industry, and its extremely impressive resume includes both the first professional SLR to feature autofocus (1988's Nikon F4) and the first SLR camera to record video (the D90, released in 2008).

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

Nikon had been relatively quiet in introducing DSLRs aimed at enthusiast photographers but that all changed with the new D7500, the company's latest camera in the D7000 line. As the successor to the D7200, the Nikon D7500 (MSRP: $1,249, body only) joins Nikon's APS-C (DX format) DSLR camera lineup,...
