I´ve been using Nikon DSLR´s for years, particularly the incredible (for its time) D90, and the not so great D7000. Obviously the ´´upgrade´´ from D90 to D7000 resulted in greater DR, faster focus, and loads of new options. The biggest upgrade was the ISO capability of course. However, the 7000 (my copy at least) had HORRIBLE focus issues. So, so frustrating, that many times I would revert back to using my trusty ol´ D90.

I had only a few thousand clicks on the D7000 before I got fed up with missing half my shots due to hardware crappiness, and upgraded to a refurb D7500, that included the amazing AFP 70-300 VR. Wow, what a difference. This camera has improved almost everything that I loved about the D90, and of course added new features that I have always missed on DSLRS (movable back LCD).

The focus capability (and esp. with an AFP lens) simply TROUNCES the sad D7000. Night and day difference, and I wish I had switched much earlier since using the 7500 made me realize how much I struggled with focus on the 7000 (but probably wouldn´t admit to myself).

This thing is surely the pinnacle of the line, before we all move to mirrorless. I know Nikon is focusing on that for the future, and if this is the last remainder of the D series DSLR´s, they really are going out with a champion as an exclamation mark on the entire, generally excellent, line.

So many things I am happy with, I can´t list them all, but some of the features I appreciate that are better than on previous models:
1. Beautiful, hi res back LCD that MOVES! THANK YOU. Finally this comes to the 90/7000 line!
2. ISO is almost ludicrous, again compared to my previous models. It´s insane how high I can crank the ISO before I get to ´´unacceptable´´.
3. Focus speed is just mind blowing, especially when paired with an AFP lens. Wow. I can´t describe this experience, because it´s almost a new thing compared what I have been used to with the 90 and 7000. Silent and instant is probably the best way for me to describe it.
4. the FPS shooting is also insane...SO fast, and has resulted already in much better shots of my son playing basketball, as well as daughter playing soccer. Shots I for sure would have missed (blurred) with my previous two models, are nailed in multiple frames on the 7500.

A lot more than this, but I will cut to the negatives lest I sound too fanboyish:
1. LCD on back only tilts, it does not have the same range of movement that you find on the lower level models (5000 and I think also 3000). Those models also rotate and turn IIRC.
2. Frankly, the resolution and resulting size of the files (even jpg) is a little much! Huge, massive files! :D Maybe too much of a good thing, but I guess I can reduce file size without losing image quality. Hopefully I can do that.
3. Wifi/snapbridge implementation is absolutely awful. I appreciate actually having the capability, but man, if you´re going to implement something, make it right, and make it work consistently! Ugh. Probably my biggest disappointment with the model.
4. More of a preference than a complaint, but I wish they had removed the onboard flash on this model like they did with the D500 (I think that´s the one). I have never seen a decent shot using an onboard flash (it even makes just snapshots look crappy), and my tiny Nikon external flash is so portable that it´s a no brainer to put it on rather than use the popup.
5. Video implementation could be better. I know this is not Nikon´s strength, and competitors do video MUCH better, but still, they don´t have to seemingly ignore it! :D If you´re looking to do much video, I would not recommend this (or any Nikon in this line). Still, I have taken some great footage with only using the camera ( no external light or mic). The HD quality itself is superb (depending on lens of course), but the actual UI of the video could be a lot better.

Overall, fantastic camera, and so glad I ponied up for it.

The camera takes great pictures still getting use to the control button much different than my D5300, Which the quiet selection was quieter

I was a little uncomfortable going to the touch screen option, my fingers are like thumbs. But, it works fine though I don´t use it most of the time.Like the tilting monitor screen, since the 7200 didn´t have it. Do miss dual SD card slots, why I don´t know. Very pleased with the quality of my shots. This is my fifth Nikon, very pleased with their customer support when I have needed it. Has more features than I will ever need, still a nice extra if I do use them.Spring for the Speedlight, I love them.

The D7500 takes very clear picture, and the exposure settings are perfect. The camera is easy to use once you become familiar with the functions. I would definitely recommend this camera

Low light higher ISO performance is incredible compared to D3400. Flexibility on brackets is another great feature. Shoot real estate and this camera really takes great pix with the Nikoor 10-20. Perfect combination. Only negative is the menues are not as intuitive as I would like.

Got this a a back up to my D850. When my 850 went in the shop (another story). I used this a primary for my travel photography (wildlife, street and architecture) and I have to say I have fallen in love with this camera. I shoot burst and this thing does not disappoint. Focus system is more than adequate for most situations, and unless your a dedicated sports/wildlife photographer in which case you probably are looking at the D500, this will cover just about anything. Ergonomics--Great, Speed--Awesome, Low light-great. Overall this is an Awesome camera for enthusiasts who want to take their game to the next level and still have features to grow with. D7500 will not steer you wrong. finally the battery life on this is GROSSLY under rated. I was averaging 1500 shots per charge and got over 2000 shots when not using live few (focus checking) as much. Overall, this as an awesome all-around camera.

I am not a professional photographer but I have used a lot of cameras. I found this camera giving me the photographs with tremendous contrast in each photos.

Just on trial, i shoot a video of one of our get-together party with FHD setting, i found the video quality, which i have not seen earlier. A quality video similar to Hollywood movie.

There is no option for change the aspect ratio to 16:9 in photo shoot mode. WiFi on/off option is missing to connect the smart device for taking remote photos. There is no record-pause-record button assigned when video records. Video record stops if we take a photos while recording video. That´s the reason, i gave 4 star otherwise it´s a 5 star camera

So much clearer than the D7200. My photos are more than I could imagine. Sunsets, sunrises and in between are colorful and sharp. I am sold on this camera.

I had a D7200 that I dearly loved get stolen after about 200,000 shots. My main body is a D500 and the D7500 is the perfect second body for my walking around lenses while my long lens is on the D500. The controls are very similar, so it is second nature to use it when I pick it up quickly. I love the interval mode for doing a series of bracket HDR sunrise/sunset shots when it´s setup on a tripod. If I was on a budget and wanted to move up from a standard DSLR to one more suitable for wildlife photography with a good frames per second count, the D7500 would be it. You won´t outgrow it!
