The Nikon has a long history of successful and reliable DSLR cameras that often outperform most competitors in similar class of products. D7500 is a product that offers a good mix of features for travel photography. It might not be the most trendy technology of today considering the advent of mirrorless cameras; however, it is still loaded with commonly used capabilities for an amateur and professional alike. It also offers a great compatibility with wide array of optics developed over the years, both manual and auto-focus ones. The only disappointment is the limited movement of the back panel screen: it only tilts, but does not flip out completely. This makes it a bit difficult to use in selfie mode.

The Nikon D7500? Oh, it's a true delight for photography enthusiasts like me. That 20.9MP sensor? Let's just say it works magic – crisp, dynamic images that pop with life. And the autofocus system with 51 points? Precise doesn't even begin to cover it. I mean, capturing fast-moving subjects at 8fps? It's a dream. But, I'll admit, I do miss the second card slot for extra security. However, that tilting touchscreen? Game-changer. This compact powerhouse brings pro-level features right to my fingertips. A definite go-to for any serious snapper. #nikon #cameras #d7500 #dslr #reviews

Great camera but a little complicated for casual users

This camera does have a learning curve, especially for an amateur like myself. There are many settings that I will probably never use but it does take great pictures and I was able to use it after a couple hours of playing with it and watching online help videos. I just put it on auto and it sets everything for me. It is obviously good quality, it is a Nikon after all, and the bundle came with a lot of expensive software that seems pretty user friendly. The telephoto lens and macro lens both work well and install easily, but you need to read the instructions well or watch videos like I did. When you put on the main lens be sure to line up the white dots and then turn until you hear a click. If it doesn't click the monitor won't work and the camera will probably not ... MoreThis camera does have a learning curve, especially for an amateur like myself.

When you put on the main lens be sure to line up the white dots and then turn until you hear a click. If it doesn't click the monitor won't work and the camera will probably not work as well. It can be hard to find the problem if you don't know what to do. The bundle came with so much it's hard to talk about it all but basically it came with a cleaning/care kit, lens covers for all the lens, colored filters and cases for the filters, for the camera, and even for extra SD cards. There are 3 batteries included as well as a tripod. This is an expensive camera for the average user and it looks it. It is pretty heavy with the lens and telephoto or macro lens attached. I judge it to be a semi-professional camera and really too complicated for some people but it is capable of many things and great pictures once you figure it out. If you take pictures for a living or even as a hobby that you practice often then I recommend it but if you only pull out a camera a few times in a year then it's probably too complicated to remember how to use well and not cost efficient. I did give it a 5 star rating because once again, it's a Nikon, it takes great pictures, and it is built with quality.

Nikon D7500

The camera is fabulous. Already was having fun with my D5600 but that was cut short when my wife took it and claimed it for her clinic:) With that I was able to upgrade to this D7500 and boy, I am blown away by the user-friendliness of the camera and its options and settings! A bit tough to figure out if you've made the jump from the 5600 to the 7500 but a couple youtube videos cleared it right up for me. I already have some great lenses from my previous camera and so far, the sharpness and detail of this 7500 is making differences for my shots. Seller was lightening fast and answered several of my questions post-purchase. Great camera! Great seller!

Nikon's greatest consumer level DX DSLR.

Nikon's greatest consumer level DX DSLR.I have been using Nikon Cameras since film days and I own to many lenses to change to mirrorless. (not all SLR lenses are compatible with mirrorless bodies)This Camera has many similarities to Nikon's Pro D500 but for less money, it shoots fast, has a fair buffer, very good AF system for viewfinder. AF for Live View is only fair, not as good as the new Mirrorless Cameras.I have been using this Camera for over a year and still like it a lot. It only has one SD Card Slot but has never been a problem for me I use good quality cards. I feel like this Camera is a good value for the money.

Pretty Much Bulletproof

Recently bought a second 7500 body for a planned extended photo trip and since familiar with the first one I bought to replace a 5300 that I carried with my D300. This is a lightweight camera and has all the features you can imagine and many more. I have taken tens of thousands of images with it and last year it went back to Nikon for a tune up, although no parts were replaced - it was just cleaned. My first Nikon was a Nikonos II (kept on the antique shelf now) followed by all of the Nikon 35's F, F2, FM, FM2, Nikkormat, F3. I also have a lot of Nikon glass. Highly recommend. I also have a Nikon mirrorless, but have been falling back on the 7500 for my serious photo work.

Very nice camera for the price

I was looking for a good camera to replace my venerable Nikon D1. It still works great and takes great pictures, but the low pixel resolution and grainy low light photos are an issue. I do, however, own some professional lenses for it that I wanted to use with a new camera. After a lot of research I settled on the D7500, for features, specs and price, as well as the ability to not purchase a new set of lenses. I am not a professional photographer by any means, but I also want quality pictures and the D7500 really delivers. My AF-S lenses work perfectly with it and after shooting 450 pictures I am seeing fantastic results. The images are amazingly crisp and clear. Colors are accurate. Shooting in monochrome produces very nice contrasts and depth. The menu options are ... MoreI was looking for a good camera to replace my venerable Nikon D1.

My AF-S lenses work perfectly with it and after shooting 450 pictures I am seeing fantastic results. The images are amazingly crisp and clear. Colors are accurate. Shooting in monochrome produces very nice contrasts and depth. The menu options are quite extensive, but it has generally not been difficult to find what I am looking for in them. What isn't obvious is a simple google search away. Nikon has mostly kept the basic controls in the same places so there was not a huge adjustment changing from the D1 to the D7500. If there's anything I am not highly enthusiastic about, it's the SnapBridge function. I have found it to be a pain to use. Personally, I prefer to put the SD card in the computer and import them that way. This is not a ding on the camera itself, if others find SnapBridge useful, then it is a good feature for the camera to have. In summary, I am very pleased with the D7500 and with the purchase from B&H, highly recommend both!

right tool for the right person

my camera needs are relatively simple...I've used a D3300 since 2006.I decided to add this D7500 now to my small kit since I prefer OVF over EVF and DSLR's are obviously headed to the scrap heap of photo history. I understand the Nikon menus and don't really want or need to learn a new system. and I just don't see that, for me, mirrorless (Nikon or otherwise) would add that much to what I do now.I think that this camera is extremely underrated and performs exceptionally well for what it is. smallish in size, good fit in my hands, great sensor.this camera will now give me 14-bit raw compared to the D3300's 12-bit raw and easier button access to some functions. and the tilting screen is killer!...I am so enjoying it.I'll move the kit lens over to the D3300 and ... Moremy camera needs are relatively simple...I've used a D3300 since 2006.I decided to add this D7500 now to my small kit since I prefer OVF over EVF and DSLR's are obviously headed to the scrap heap of photo history.

(because that's all I need.)Nikon refers to the D7500 as an enthusiasts camera and that's exactly what it is...but I think that it's an exceptionally fine enthusiasts camera.
