The camera focused well in low light (-3 EV, according to specs), plus I used VR (switchable on the lens) when shutter speeds dropped below 1/30 second.

In my tests I worked with both single-point AF and nine-point groups and, as is my wont these days, used the M/A (autofocus with manual override) for fine selection when doing macro shots and tweaking focus to taste. I found the Nikon D7500’s AF system to be very fast and highly customizable. It does not rotate the glass into the body for carrying or storage, a nice feature that saves wear and tear over the years. You can read out what you are doing as you go on the top LED and compose through the pentaprism finder or the large LCD, which rotates upward and downward but not side to side (if it did there would be far fewer buttons on the back). The D7500 is programmable to the nth degree to handle just about any scenario or effect you could want, or imagine. The screen is touch sensitive and can be used to choose the AF area in live preview mode. The 3.2-inch LCD of the Nikon D7500 can be flipped up- and downward, while the forerunner D7200 used a fixed LCD system. I tested the D7500 out during a trip to North Carolina and Southern Maryland and concentrated on nature and cityscape imagery. While it has been noted by some that the model does not offer a vertical grip and shutter release I did not find this detrimental in any way, although those doing mainly headshot or couples portraiture might find it so. The combo is heavier than the mirrorless models I have been testing of late, but the solid feel and strong, well-molded grip gave it a well-balanced feel.

In short, sum up what you have come to expect from a thoroughly modern DSLR, throw in very good low-light performance and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capability, very good battery life, and an excellent viewfinder system in both pentaprism and LCD manifestations, and you get a sense of what the D7500 can deliver.įor this DSLR test, Nikon sent me the D7500 on loan along with an AF-S DX Nikkor 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR lens (equivalent 24-120mm). The “Lv” button and its lever are used to start the live preview on the screen and to switch between photo and video recording. The camera offers an eight-way control field on the back for fast and comfortable menu navigation.

And while the options on this (and other cameras these days) can seem dizzying-and you better read and rehearse them before taking the camera into the field-just take my word for it that whatever you have in mind for an image or effect can be accomplished with this camera.įor example, you can set the D7500’s ISO between 100-51,200 (as well as Auto ISO with sensitivity high limit and shutter speed low limit) work with shutter speeds as fast as 1/8000 second or as slow as 30 seconds shoot 8 frames per second (fps) at full resolution choose from any number of Scene and Effect modes do nine frame brackets (as well as bracket D-Lighting) compensate +/- 5 EV choose numerous AF modes and areas and more. The menu itself is extensive and logical, making setup and option choices easy to access and control.

The D7500’s body is fairly substantial and certainly packed with many function buttons and controls. Happily, both viewers offer a 100 percent field of view.Ī mode dial on the left-hand side of the viewfinder and a large status display on the right-hand side offer comfortable handling. Viewing is through a large viewfinder with diopter adjustment or a semi-articulating LCD back, the latter being a bright 3.2-inch 922K dot that can be set up for touch functionality. I recently tested the Nikon D7500 out in the field and here’s what I thought.Ĭompared with the D500, the Nikon D7500 body is about 20 percent lighter and slightly smaller overall. As the successor to the D7200, the Nikon D7500 (MSRP: $1,249, body only) joins Nikon’s APS-C (DX format) DSLR camera lineup, which includes the flagship D500, with a 20.9MP CMOS sensor and no low-pass filter. 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. It offers a fast AF system, high-speed continuous modes (8 frames per second), comfortable handling, 4K video recording, and much more. The Nikon D7500 is a new DSLR system with a 20.9MP sensor in APS-C format.
