D7500

I have been a Nikon user for several years and own several of their previous models before purchasing the D7500. In my opinion it's one of the best DSLR cameras out there. I've had mine now for several years and found it to be extremely versatile, easy to use, and produced excellent photographs. It resulted in photos that were far above my ability as a photographer. I recently experienced an unfortunate incident between my camera and the Pacific Ocean. Although I managed to retrieve it, it was damaged beyond repair. I seriously considered replacing it with one of the newer mirrorless Nikon cameras and move into the latest photography trends. However, having enjoyed the D7500 so much that I ultimately opted to replace it with another D7500 which should give you an idea of how pleased I was with this models performance. My transition to a Nikon mirrorless will wait a few years. Until then I expect the D7500 to continue to meet my highest expectations for producing exceptionally clear and vibrant results. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone regardless of the type of photography that you shoot.

Shooting almost 5 years with a D7500. Versatile body for all types of photography. Done sunset landscapes, astro, portrait, wildlife, & long expo with ND filters. Pair it with some good lens & it's ready for almost anything

In the 80’s I used a Minolta XD370 Film camera… and after much hinting my wife got me a D60 Nikon Kit earlier 2000! Still love my D60 but wanted something upgraded and budget friendly. In comes te D7500 and I paired it with a Nikkor 10-24 lens. I already had a 18-55/55-200 from D60 kit. Anyway- the 7500 has been great! Still learning but having fun doing so! No regrets

I was so happy to get this in 2020, and there's no looking back. An excellent enthusiast all-rounder with an improved (deeper) grip, much better internals, and a great sensor. Some things to know: 1) The camera does not have the ability to assign depth-of-field preview to any button, unlike the D500 and all previous D7x00 cameras, and 2) the body has consumer-style linear lugs, not those little circular ones. These ones dig into my right hand and I don't like how that feels. Otherwise, this camea is exactly what you'd expect coming from a D7x00 series camera (or a competing one from Canon) but better. It's been a wonderful companion these past two+ years.

It’s a Masked D5. It takes great photos and videos. It ages well so you can keep it for next 5 years. So it’s lifecycle is 10 years.

Hourglass, hourglass, hourglass...

I have now owned my D7500 for 5 years and I have to say I think this is a really great camera. The camera itself has a lot of functionality that you would find in a higher tier FX style camera like bracketing, dedicated ISO button, dedicated auto-focus adjustment button, 51 point autofocus, dedicated screen on top for all exposure information. It is also a huge step up in ISO range from an entry level DSLR. I really don't have anything bad to say about it other than it is limited by the fact that it is a DX camera. It does suffer from some lens diffraction at smaller apertures but if you figure out what the limits of the camera are you can work around this. This camera has really been the jumping point for me to the next level of photography. If you think you may buy an FX camera some day and you are looking to upgrade from an entry level DSLR but not quite ready to make the jump to FX this is absolutely the best choice in my opinion.

My first Nikon body was F801 ( July 1998 ) and I had to live with its dead (preserved ) body all this while so I was casual and cautious of investing in the next Nikon , D 7500 ( bought this September 2021 ) . Being ,otherwise supposedly near perfectionist , but in photographic pursuits somewhat more fussy about capturing over the details . D7500 was revealing what ISO 51200 means with Nikon AF and AF-S lenses alike .on instinctive hand held shots as well .

Amazing wildlife shooter. After 100k shutter clicks it's still shooting perfect. Bought as nikon refurbished and never had an issue. Pair it with the 300mm afs f4(non pf) and it's amazing at capturing wildlife and birds. Also great landscapes with a sharp lens in front of it. I sell lots of prints that are taken with this camera. Full frame has its purpose(and I own them as well) but this thing can absolutely be used as a "pro" camera.
