NIKON D7500 Review - The most forgotten camera?

Is the D7500 the most forgotten camera of Nikon today?
Or is this camera a hidden treasure?

At first glance, the D7500 is just an update of the D7200. But the D7200 actually already had a successor, the D500.
Is the D7500 now positioned lower than the D7200, or is it a step forward? And when is the D500 preferable?

I explain this extensively in this Nikon D7500 review.

#Nikon #D7500

[carlosenriquez]

Last week i was invited to a country wedding. The young couple could not afford a photographer. All i had in my truck was the 7500 paired with ff105mm macro. I asked if i could take pictures at no charge to them and they agreed. The images where stunning so much so that i recieved several inquiries for paid work. Always remember that a profesional photographer is not defined solely by their equipment skill, artistic ability, experience, and willingness to take the best shot possible in less than ideal conditions is by far more important in my opinion.

Thanks for this comprehensive review of the D7500. I recently purchased a D7500 for my niece. She is a budding photographer and has been using her D3500 for a while (and getting some great images). I wanted her to have a camera with controls that would be easier for her to get out of the automatic modes. I shot the D7200 for about 3 yrs and loved it. And the D500 for a couple of years. I felt the D7500 would be the ideal upgrade for her.

I love my D7500 I bought it when I realised, after just 6 months or so, that I was rapidly outgrowing my D3500 Both are excellent machines though the D7500 makes the 3500 feel like a toy. I'd recommend the 7500 to anyone interested in getting started in digital photography who maybe has a little skill already say from previously using a more entry level camera, phone, or having maybe previously shot 35mm film It's cheaper than mirrorless and capable of producing just as good results

I am brand new to photography. I searched KEH here in the U.S. and came upon the D7500. Today is my first day of shooting. I can't wait to discover more about this camera and the art of photography. 60 years old and still learning. 😊

Hello, I had a D7500 from 2017 to 2023. It was the best camera I ever had. I am very sad, that I sold it. The sensor is the same like in the Z50, ZFc, Z30 and the imagequality is the same too. That means, that the technique is still aktual, but the Nikon F-Lenses are better then the Z-DX-Lenses. I had 10 F-Lenses, but i used in 95% the Nikkor A-FS DX 16-80 F2.8-4. The D7500 with this Lens is an "universal gun" for fotographers. Please make not the same mistake i did. Never sell this faboulus camera. At this moment I have a ZF, but I had a Z6II and a ZFc. But i am not as happy with all these cameras as i was witch the D7500. Greetings. CH

My D7500 has just made the 372, 000 shutter mark. Still going as well as the day I bought it.

Thinking of getting one of these cameras as a beginner. Thanks for the detailed review and breakdown. Super helpful!

[tomprzytula]

Started with D3200, then D5300 and now D7500. If you're trying to decide whether to get 3000, 5000 or 7000 series, then I can tell you the D7500 is the one to get. An amazing camera that you won't outgrow quickly.

Thanks for this well-considered video/review. I bought the D3400 Kit years ago and actually started losing my eyesight and had to put it away, in the last three years I have had surgery and can see better now, more than ever. So, I have put the D3400 through its paces. I have wanted to upgrade to either the D5600, D7500, or D500. After seeing this, I am more convinced that the D7500 is a good choice. When you consider you can get a new one with a nice lens for $1000.

Thanks so much for this review. I've been thinking about which camera to buy and Ive found your review of the D7500 to be tremendously helpful in making my choice.

I have this camera as well as the d850 and I love and appreciate both equally. For it's price the d7500 is a very capable camera a photographer with even moderate skills would have little to complain about.

[ivanmejiadiaz]

Great review of the camera📸. I went from a D5000 to the D7500 and was a great upgrade. I use it mostly in macro photography but I am taking my first steps in birds and landscape.
Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽🌮

I just became the proud owner of this camera. A long time Nikon owner I knew I would like it as a replacement to my D7100. I like that there is little to adjust to between the two camera. However I was not aware of all the wifi, tilt screen, touch screen features. I love its speed which was the basic reason I chose it. After watching your review I am looking forward to learning more about it.

Wow! Your Photography, Your Paintings, Your video all TOP NOTCH! GOD Bless

[blackmamba]

I love D7500. It is still serving me well.

[kristersjoblom]

Thank you Wim! This is the best video on D7500 I have seen! I would like to upgrade from my D5300, although it produces very good photos too. The improved autofocus, low-light performance, and dynamic range would be key factors for me. In addition there are more improvements, in handling for instance.

Over the years I've had several Nikon cameras, from the days of film. I bought a 2nd hand 7500 a few years ago, and it does everything I want. From my 35mm up to the 200-500, the results are excellent. I'm not a professional, just an amateur with years of experience. As much as the new mirrorless or full frame Nikons appeal, I'm happy with my 7500.

[KibaSnowpaw]

As a photographer using the Nikon D5100 and D3300, I have been considering upgrading to either the D7200 or the D7500, given their comparable prices in my region. After much deliberation, I am leaning towards the D7500, primarily because I find mirrorless cameras less appealing.

Mirrorless cameras often suffer from lag and slower response times, which can be frustrating. Additionally, the AI-driven features in many modern mirrorless cameras can sometimes feel like they take control away from the photographer, causing further delays due to rendering times. In contrast, DSLRs like the D7500 offer more immediate feedback and greater reliability in various shooting conditions. Even smartphones, despite their advanced software, cannot match the quality of a DSLR's objective lens, which is crucial for capturing high-quality images.

In summary, while mirrorless cameras are advancing, they still have a way to go in terms of performance and user control. The Nikon D7500 stands out as a robust and reliable choice for photographers who value quick response times and traditional DSLR advantages. This review by Wim Bals provides a thorough exploration of the D7500's features, helping photographers make an informed decision about their next camera purchase.

Thanks very much for a good review. I am thinking of upgrading from my D7000 that I have had for 12 years to the D7500. Your video helped confirm my decision.

[arunupadhya]

This month i was planning to purchase this and your information helped me a lot.

Thank you.
