D7500 DX-Format Digital SLR Body

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. I am also a recently retired economics teacher and in my quest to upgrade from my excellent, but outdated D7000, I applied the principles of wants vs needs, trade-offs, opportunity costs, and cost benefits. Realizing the no camera will give one exactly what they want, I narrowed the requirements down. My two main criteria were higher ISO performance and more accurate focus. I do a lot of bird in flight, and both are essential. It came down to the D7200, the D7500, and the D500. The D7200 already being two years out, I ruled it out. The D500 fit my needs, and a few wants, but the price tag was a bit steep. The D7500 seemed the best fit, and after trying it for a couple of days I believe I made the right choice. ISO- While the D7000 had an upper limit of ISO 1600 before degrading, I now feel quite comfortable at 3200 which helps with the 180 f/2.8 for birds. I will test at higher when I do some Milky Way shots next week. Focus- Spot on, fast and accurate. I can track a bird quite easily. Exposure- Amazing. The color rendition and exposure are so good I don’t have to do any tweaking. Even shooting a bird against a bright blue sky the metering handle it. Eight frames per second is fast. The shutter is quite sensitive and I will easily shoot a sequence when only one is needed, but they delete. The shutter is much quite quieter than the D7000 and makes a sweet sound like my old Contax. The negatives that people are sounding off on don’t bother me. One card slot is okay, I never utilized the second slot before, and I am not doing anything that a card failure would cause a catastrophic loss. No battery grip is okay too. I have one for the older camera, but never used it. I am so old that reaching over with my finger feels natural. Not being able to meter with old lenses is okay too, I don’t have any. The bottom line is that this camera meets my needs, and then some, giving me a good return on investment. Update 7/17- After spending a couple of weeks with the camera I am even more pleased. I found the group autofocus and af-c to work the best for tracking birds. I have gone up to ISO 6400 with satisfactory results, in fact I have yet to use the flash. Update 7/21- I have been using the camera at the beach for surfer photos and it performs impeccably. Battery life is a bit short, but that may be affected by the use of a screw drive lens. The sunrise photo was shot with the 10.5 fisheye.

I upgraded to the Nikon D7500 from a D3400, and it has served me extremely well. The D3400 was a good camera to learn on, but the D7500 provides much more control without requiring me to constantly enter the menus. The additional buttons, front and rear command dials, top display, and customizable settings make it much quicker to adjust while shooting. I primarily use it for aquarium, wildlife, and nature photography. Its autofocus and continuous shooting perform especially well when photographing fast-moving fish, while the image quality gives me plenty to work with when editing RAW files. The camera feels solid and comfortable in the hand, and the tilting touchscreen is helpful when shooting from lower or more difficult angles. There is a learning curve when moving up from an entry-level camera, but the added control and flexibility are worth taking the time to learn. It has allowed me to grow as a photographer without feeling like I’ve quickly outgrown the camera. Overall, the D7500 has been a reliable and capable upgrade that I’m very happy with.

I absolutely love this camera. The Nikon D7500 has been an amazing upgrade and the image quality is incredible. The photos come out sharp, detailed, and the colors look great straight out of the camera. It has a lot of features and settings, but once you get familiar with it, it’s very powerful and easy to customize. The autofocus is fast and it handles action really well, which is great for sports photography. Overall I’m extremely happy with this purchase. If you’re looking for a high-quality DSLR that performs really well for both photos and action shots, this camera is a fantastic option.

Camera is exactly as described, the images are crisp and clear. I bought it to go with my 500mm lens and I love it! It focuses fast and crisp, I took a photo of a bird behind some branches and it focused on the bird instead of the branches which my D3500 could not do. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

This is a great camera! I was hoping to buy a more expensive Nikon model, but due to a job loss, was unable to do so. After reading a lot of reviews about the D7500, I was convinced that this camera would meet my needs. So far I am loving it!

Just a short review, more of a user experience. I bought the D7500 for a month long trip to Europe. I was replacing a D7100 that had some nagging problems that often left me less than satisfied (It had been dropped - and repaired - early in its life, but was never as good as I expected). Anyway, I filled 4-5 64 Gig memory cards on the trip, and I have to say that this camera is far better than my old one. The low light abilities are awesome, and on the few instances where I needed to take a picture hand held in low light with some depth of field, ISO 16000 was a very viable option. Not noise free, but better than ISO 6400 on the older camera. Other features that made the user experience better: I could easily transfer pictures to my phone - very important to my wife and convenient for sharing or posting to Facebook when traveling without a computer. The connection to the phone also meant that I could share the phone's GPS with the camera and therefore get location tags on every photo. This worked very well, though it is possible that it negatively affects the phone's battery - but my phone is old and it is hard to really tell. (I think the automatic download was more detrimental to the phone battery, and it took a little searching to figure out how to turn off automatic downloads for every photo). As for the camera battery, it was also good, though again, the automatic download seemed to affect it a lot, as did a lot of activity on the display. The tilting screen was useful to have, but not as useful as a fully articulating screen (like the D5300). The touch screen was awesome, and made it VERY easy to check critical focus and work with the menu - even with gloves on. I was in a cold weather environment, so I had gloves on much of the time. These gloves had something on each finger that would let it work with an iPhone, and therefore it worked just as well with he camera. I liked the feature where you could use the live preview and touch the screen where you wanted it to be in focus, and it would refocus and take the shot. I understand why people complain about the missing second SD slot, but as long as I carried a second card around, it was fine. I never made automatic backups anyway, and I can live without putting RAW on one card and JPG on the other. It would have been nice, but the other features are more important to me. The depth of field preview seems to be gone, and that is disappointing, but it is usually easy enough to take a shot and check depth of field and then take another. The exposure settings were a little more confusing to me, and I could not reliably determine if the camera tended to over or underexpose. I think I ended up using plus or minus 1/3 of a stop a lot of the time, and sometimes a lot more than that. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase. I might change my mind after reviewing the thousands of photos I took on the trip, but based on what I have seen, it is a definite upgrade!!

This camera is so great! At first seeing the low price thought it was used or refurb but no it’s actually new in box. All box accessories came with it. The camera itself has lots of features and takes amazing pictures. I highly recommend getting this if you can get new for the price I paid. If anything changes I’ll edit this

So far so good! It is rather on the more expensive side, especially since it is a DSLR and people are shifting to mirrorless. But the quality overall is good and I enjoy working with it so far. It is a bit heavier than I imagined though

Excelente produto, vendedor top da loja: GoPlay10. Muito bom! E a câmera é um custo benefício perfeito!

Es un equipo excelente. Venía usando una muy, muy básica, D3100, y pensé me sería abrumador tanto por el tamaño y la cantidad de botones y configuraciones pero rápido me adapté y realmente no esta tan grande ni pesada. Sin duda la calidad es mayor y a un super precio. El único detalle es que la compre en oferta y una semana después bajo mucho más de precio, pero no me arrepiento. Las fotos son con el lente micro nikkor 40mm

Best camera in DX format. No need further review, this camera makes its own mark

Excellent camera. This camera is not for beginners, it does have a learning curve. That said the features are amazing. The photos are sharp and clear

bought this for my son as birthday present. Shipping is very fast. Goods received as describe and in working condition.
