Great Travel Camera
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.
