D7500

A large reason I bought this camera was for it´s connectivity features. Unfortunately, Snap Bridge is HORRIBLE. It´s laggy, buggy, cannot transfer raw files. Wi-fi and Bluetooth cannot be active at the same time, which isn´t important because neither feature is useful.

It takes a great photo, but I plan on returning as it´s useless unless you want to go home, transfer your photos, and go back out.

So-far, so-very-good. Only a few-hundred shots on this D7500, but it is a vast-upgrade to my D3100. All of my DX-lenses work great in this body (my 55-300 lens actually makes me dizzy while focusing with the VR-on with this body, but it takes better pix than on my D3100).

Many reviewers have complained about the SnapBridge app, but I´ve got to say, this works WAY better than I anticipated. I have had zero problems connecting to my iPhone(6), except when my camera is close to my computer (Mac) when turned on. This camera initially communicates over BT-LE, so the camera will attempt to pair with the computer if it´s closer. I´ve connected / transferred probably 100-times, and any time it didn´t communicate to the SnapBridge app immediately, I simply turned off my Mac´s bluetooth, and the phone would immediately link to the camera.

There´s 10,000-settings on this camera, so it´s a little daunting at first to trudge through the 350-page manual, but it was well worth the effort. I was able to customize this for exactly the effect I wanted, every time. I will say though, I think ´´AUTO´´ shoots a very flat picture compared to my D3100 in AUTO out of the box (likely because of the expanded metering - everything is in focus and at the same level, unlike a point-and-shoot which is center-weighted). Out of all the features, the ones I like best are using your finger on the display to focus (then have it shoot as you pull your finger off the screen) and the HDR/bracketing features seem outstanding based on my limited testing.

The shutter is wicked-fast, spot and area focusing is WAY-faster versus using the same lenses on my D3100, the body has a good feel, and most of the buttons are reachable with my finger on the trigger. I only got (maybe) 100-shots in before the battery was dead (I imagine turning on Airplane-mode will greatly improve that). I like the built-in flash too; it´s powerful without being over-powering.

I can´t think of a single serious complaint to be made about this camera, other than it not really being an exceptional point-and-shoot out of the box. BTW: my 18-55 is still my most-favorite lens for most situations (not a fan of my fixed 35mm, unless I´m trying to take creative studio-type shots).

I bought the D7500 and 18-300mm VR kit as a travel kit upgrade to my D7000 and 18-105mm kit. I found the D7500 controls well laid out. I especially liked that the function dial now has a lock on it. I bumped the D7000 function dial every time i shot with it while traveling. I did find that the grip on the D7500 was more boxy than the D7000 and the body lighter. Though i haven´t looked at every D7500 feature, i loved the new firmware functions and low-light performance. The 18-300mm was all that i could have expected it to be. I´ve rented this lens before several times so i knew what the performance would be like. Now that I own the lens i´m Sure that i will love it even more. I was surprised that i had to buy a lens hood and lens case separately. I did find the on-camera flash a little underpowered as compared to the D7000. What could improve the D7500? A second memory card slot and a battery grip.

I´ve been shooting with D5300, D5500, D7100, D500, D750 and D810. This camera is outstanding. Not only in image quality and ISO performance but also focusing system, the D7500 shoots 8 frames per second exceptionally well and accurate. This baby D500 surprised me with it´s remarkable performance, My only complain is second SD slot removal and I don´t know why Nikon decided to remove it from 7000 series.

It´s good to be alive today. Technology has never been so inclusive and approachable -- ordinary folk can now create their own content with much less effort and time. With the way content is consumed nowadays, in many cases the DX system does excellently. Owning an FX system does not automatically make one a professional photographer. Vice versa, owning a DX system does not automatically make one an amateur. It´s all about having the eye for beauty-- and beauty is relative. I take photos based on my aesthetic and more importantly, my viewpoint.

I am very pleased with my decision to have bought the Nikon D7500 to properly equip my being a freelance event/sports/news photographer. Highly capable with great features in a COMPACT and LIGHT body. And more importantly, the price point is approachable. Planning to get another one soon as it is critical to have two bodies in my kind of photography.

I waited 7 years to move from D5000 to D7500 and I immediately enjoyed the D7500. This camera is extremely capable ! Perfect for week-ends, sport, vacations (light) and kids (good ISO / speed). It also has a lots of nice/new features (high ISO, snap bridge, 100% viewfinder coverage, 8 fps, artificial horizon, flash commander) that I use a lots. I really enjoy photographing with it.
note : I confirm the approx 950 shots if you only take pictures. I rarely use the touch screen.

I´ve been shooting with my old D7000 and just died in May 2017 (awesome camera) and have captured some great shots. I shopped around for some time tried Sony a7, Sony a6300, Sony a6500 and Nikon D750. All great cameras, but I needed a cámara with the crop factor( additional zoom) and ease and fast to access the buttons. I took my Nikon D7500 to travel to Toronto Canada and it is a powerful reliable camera for all types of photography. Next spring 2018 to China. In the video department provides a 4K (with additional crop factor) which you have to keep in mind at the time of composing you shot. Also make sure you set your aperture, manual focus, adjust to taste and record. Love this camera.

I have owned several cameras over the years. The D7500 excellent image quality and low light performance. I really like the touch screen and the auto focus is fast. The only complaint I have is the SnapBridge app. It needs a lot of improvements made to make connection easier and give more options in the remote control feature.

I´ve been shooting with my old D40x for several years and have captured some great shots. Now that the kids are into dance and sports I needed to upgrade. My first day I took it out to the park with my 12 year old daughter in her ballet outfit and the shots were outstanding. Of the 200 shots I took, I would say that I could use half of them as part of her portfolio. Love this camera.
