D7500

after a few months of shooting with my D850, I was disappointed with the fact that all my lenses were basically worthless for use on the D850. Shooting and post process were average quality. I was at the Grand Canyon on a perfect morning, and took better pictures with my I Phone 8! My D7500 is perfect for its portability, lense interface, and focus system. I love it. When I traded the D850 in at my camera store, and bought the D7500, the sales clerk quipped to his cohorts, that they knew people would be abandoning the D850, because of its over complexity.

First of all I love love love my D7500. I couldn´t ask for a nicer camera. I have also found out how durable Nikons are. I took a really serious fall with my Nikon around my neck. It impacted pretty hard when it hit the ground. Nothing on it came apart or broke. The lens didn´t separate from the camera or anything. I didn´t fare as well.

I like it so much I bought two. One just for my 200-500 and one for all the rest.

After getting the D7500 I am impressed what Nikon can offer now adays, In my life, I only had the D70´S and never had the opportunity to give myself a try on other Nikon models and now with D7500 it seems that I am young again. With my new D7500 I am exploring other exciting lenses produced by Nikon, I sure am collecting few lenses and many more to come, can´t wait for my next awaiting trip to explore South East Asia and other parts of the world.

I have been shooting with a Nikon D80 for the past 11 years. That camera produced excellent photos, but with a limited ISO range and only good noise reduction at high ISO, natural light shots needed a lot of post production work, or more tripod use. With D7500,, images taken at high ISO have little or reasonable noise, but more importantly, hand holding is available as faster shutter speeds/higher ISOs can be dialed in. I am very pleased. Have yet to begin shooting video. One downside, I miss the battery grip. Never really needed the extra battery power, but gripping the camera and shooting in portrait orientation were much easier with the extra release button and command dials.

My first purchase after my old Coolpix died was a D3500. I realized I had no idea how to use it in anything other than auto mode and took a photography class. The photography class made me realize the shortcomings of the entry level D3500 for someone who wants to pursue photography as a hobby. After doing research, I felt the D7500 was exactly what I needed to advance in my new hobby. I haven´t been disappointed! It´s not too large or heavy to comfortably carry on a nature walk and has all the features I need. I especially like the tilting LCD screen. I use it with AF-S Nikkor 18-200 mm zoom and 35 mm prime lenses.

I´ve owned the D7000 and D7100 so I have a reasonable level of expectation for this camera. I also own a D750 for image quality comparisons. I shoot mainly Nikon glass and the extended reach of the DX camera has come in handy more than once using my larger lenses.
I´ve had the camera for 4 days now and beyond my initial impressions I am very pleased to say I am very happy with this camera. The photos are sharp, but video focus is still inadequate. If you are going to shoot 4K you will need a fast SD card. Attached images are mainly unedited straight out of the camera, except for the bandw conversion. Lens was a Nikkor 80-200mm f2.8.

Photos are very crisp. Once i learned the menu i feel more confident shooting any subject.
The only reason i gave it 4 stars is it needs a firmware update to allow center weighted in the F1 button and add spot metering in the F2 button or visa-versa.
The i button is great it lets you make quick changes in the menu without scrolling through all the choices.

After using a D300 for several years, I purchased the D7500. I´ve had it for almost 2 months and have been very pleased with the photos I´ve take. It is easy to use and I especially like the tilting monitor that the D300 did not have. I have been a Nikon user for over 30 years and have been pleased with nearly all of their products. The D7500 has many features that I really like and makes photography even more enjoyable.
