I got the refurbished one at $599 which is a very good price for the value right now,
This D7500 is for travel photography and hiking trail. I purchased Nikon AFP 70-300mm FX lens with this camera.I have used nikon 35mm f1.8 dx lens with d7500.I love and happy with that combo especially. Nikon 35mm f1.8 is small ,light and very good lens to go with D7500. I went hike with that combo only and got satisfying photographs. That combo is much smaller and lighter than my other FX camera and lens set.I wish d7500 has more pixel sometimes but smaller and lighter gears outweigh the heavier and bulky gear especially in hiking trail and travel.More pixel would certainly welcome if the price is not too much higher. Hopefully not more than $1000 would be great with 36mp. I would be delighted if Nikon makes one like that.
There are several issues with the camera but I could live with them.You could go to the overview section and learn more about the features. I like 8fps and rear LCD flexibility and 51 points which are very nice in photographing birds in flight. I like the shutter, It is very quick and I don´t have to press the shutter down hard. It is so easy to carry and take photos.
I like the results: I got surprised when I could get photographs of birds flying that I could not catch with my other FX camera.

I started with a N 70. Went to the 7000, then the 7100, and now the 7500. Although the megapixels were decreased, the pictures seems crisper and brighter! So far,,,,,So good!

I really love this camera. I have had the chance to use it outdoors in full sun, indoors without flash, and indoors with strobes. Thrilled with the results. I am upgrading from my Nikon D90 which served me very well for years. It is lightweight, has most of the buttons and dials in same location as the D90, and feels great in my hand. The pictures turn out stunning. I am using with a new Nikkor 18-200mm lens as my primary walking around lens. If I could wish for anything it would be a second SD Card slot. Definitely not a deal killer for me and I am thrilled by the images produced by the camera. Took it out in the desert for a test drive and loved the results right out of the box. I´ll try to upload a scenic picture taken in midday sun for example.

I am very happy that I did not repair my broken Pentax. The D7500 shoots faster overall. My low light photos have never been better. I am happy to make my Coolpix 4500 my backup camera

I bought this camera to replace my 13 year old D80. This is a great replacement with many more great features. I love the ability to take low light photos without needing to use the flash.

My sports events photo business means working equipment pretty hard ... thousands of frames from each event. I started out with the heavier Nikon digital bodies, beginning with the D1, D2 etc. After carrying so much weight around my neck, it felt as if arthritis was setting in, so I switched to the smaller bodies. I´ve owned all of the D7000 series bodies. I really appreciate their lightness and dependability. That continues with the D7500. It´s nice to have the lighter body that includes some of the features I have experienced when using the D500 bodies the Lake Placid Olympic Center provides when I work there. I´ve shot a few events with the new D7500. Exposures and focus have been great. Battery life has been consistent with what I have experienced with the D7200, 7100 and 7000 ... always 6,000-7,000 frames per charge when shooting jpeg files. The only negative so far is the lack of availability of an extended warranty from Nikon (I am told they are out of stock). When you shoot as much as I do, it is a given that the shutter will wear out after a year or two. Having that extended warranty ensures that when this D7500 finally tires out, a quick trip to Melville will have it working again ... without breaking the bank.

The D3200 was my entry to digital photography and as a beginner very easy to operate and develop the love of photography. Now with the D7500 it is a complete new world of possibilities and to prove my point the photo below I could of never accomplished without the features of the D7500. I am but amazed of what I will accomplish with this D7500

The Pictures are worth more than a thousand words.

I use the D300, D7100, and D7500 cameras, and after just over a month of shooting with the D7500, I find myself continually amazed and delighted at its features, ergonomics, and tiny details that really contribute to a significantly better experience over both earlier cameras:
1. Overall speed of focusing and shooting, with shorter blackout time,
2. Ability to tweak controls at an unprecedented level (for an advanced amateur camera), such as the ability to use the Movie record button during stills shooting to control metering mode or other options,
3. Much better implementation of Depth of Field Preview utilizing Live View rather than the darkened optical finder,
4. Focusing, while constantly an impressive spec with Nikon´s upper models, truly wows with 3D focus tracking, and the integration of Group Focusing using CSP (Close Subject Priority) is welcome.
5. Image quality with the appropriate setting of picture controls, noise reduction, and jpeg settings is truly state of the art--or as near as I need it, certainly.
Overall, I truly see this as an incredible photographic tool for ANY price, and am so grateful that I´m living in a time when such a tool is relatively affordable for many!
