Yeah - being able to shoot 8fps is something that was only available with the flagship pro models only a few years ago, and now it's something we can get in a mid-level body. I noticed Nigel Danson released a video this morning comparing the D200 with his Z7. Will be interested to see the results of that. Thanks for watching. 😀
Sorry for the late response Robert, trying to catch up after holiday. Really great, detailed review. I use Sony's now but I started on a Nikon D3200 and still use that from time to time. But the D7500 is a great camera and will be for many years to come, and has obviously served you very well over the years! I'm sure you will continue to get plenty of good use in the future as well. Really fantastic review and a huge thumbs down to the person who left you a thumbs and didn't state their reasons why. Hope you are doing well and keeping safe and glad to see that spring has sprung over there!
Haha, it reckon the thumbs down was from the CEO of Canon. 😆 Thanks for watching - hope you had a great holiday. Looking forward to checking your video out. 😊
Thanks for the Review, I have had a D7500 for 3 years and have taken a lot of great shots with it. I have been a Nikon shooter for a while now, D50, D70, two D90's, D7000, D7200, and a D750; which all of these have been sold or given away now. Currently I have the D7500, D850, and new this week, a Z6ii, which takes a lot of studying and watching lots of UA-cam videos. I think that this is a great video you have provided here for those who are interested in the D7500, I definitely enjoy using it 😀.
Update on the Z6ii, after 3 months of use, was really starting to enjoy using it. But unfortunately it was stolen out of my vehicle a few weeks ago while in the St Louis area 😕. So it will be back to using the D7500. Serial number for Z6ii, 3013671, 24-70 F4, s/n 20248077. FTZ adapter s/n 30289320. Nikkor Z 24-200, s/n 20045139.
I’ve got this. I use it mainly with a Tamron 180/f3.5 macro and 300/f4D and 1.4 TC for wildlife. It handles beautifully. I don’t think the IQ beats my old D7100, but it’s much better for action shots.
Great video Robert! I have the D7500 and I find the photo quality fantastic. The colours and lighting are great. Due to the weight, I have bought a Z50 as well as I like the mirrorless systems. But I’ll keep ny D7500 as I just love it!
Thanks for sharing & comments...yes I love Nikon gear & I have used the D70s then D7100 & just updated to D500... Although only a hobbyist I am happy with results... still love using my D7100 & maybe should have upgraded my glass instead of my camera... cheers 😀..
I upgraded my D90 to a D7500 3 years ago, it's a big improvement on speed and image quality especially in high ISO. Also the screen is great and the frame rate.
Got my nikon d7500 for 600pounds it had only taken 50 shots with a used 18-250 sigma for 100pounds money well spent it is a very good camera if you do not want to spend a lot of money .
The lens works well as an all round go to lens even close up it is just a hobby for me to get out with my camera so happy with what i get from camera and lens'.@@Robert-Bishop
The reason I went Canon many many years ago was due to the layout of the buttons compared to the Nikon I tried at the time. I only mention as all the money I have spent with Canon since all derived from that one small factor, based on handling two cameras in a 'Currys' for about 2 minutes each!....and a salesman pitching the Canon a bit harder (must've been more commission). When you mentioned the layout, it just reminded me of that sliding doors moment. Could have easily gone the other way and I'd be a Nikon shooter. Anyhow, the D7500 - 8fps with a fantastic buffer sounds like a great option for wildlife/sports action photography. Obviously you mentioned the focus system a little later which may hamper that a bit but still that's a decent spec camera. For me, the dual card slot thing only becomes absolutely vital if doing wedding/event photography and even then there's make-do's (yep had to use them early on in my career! but am thankful to have moved past that these days) but for most other genres there's probably do overs or you shoot tethered so no real issue (and assuming that a pro filmmaker would not be using this camera). As you mention 20mp is plenty and didn't Nikon make that a brand wide thing to sit all their top line APS-C format at around the 20mp range? Seemed like a good idea for me, Canon throw far too many MP at their crop sensor. Great review Robert
Thanks Dave. It's great that there are so many really good cameras out there at the moment - we're spoilt for choice when the deciding factor comes down to button layout. Yes, both the D500 and the Z50 are also 20.9mp. As you said in your last video, more than enough unless printing very large. Cheers for watching. 😊
i enjoy the d7500 -- i'm purely a Nikon person and currently debating getting a mirrorless or a D500 to add to the collection. i agree the flash is an annoyance.
I would like the D500, just for the superior focussing system. I'm a big fan of the Z cameras too - it would be interesting to compare the Z50 and the D7500. Thanks for watching. 😀
@@Robert-Bishop agreed the z lenses are pretty expensive compared to other mfg for the same focal length. Unless you already have nikor lenses to convert.
Hi I have had the 7500 bout a year now paired with the 70-300mm and i like it.Waiting for delivery date of the 200-500mm. Also still have and use my old D80. Nikon works for me.
The 70-300 is a really versatile lens. It's so light weight. I nearly went for the 200-500 but went for the Sigma 150-600 in the end. Nice that there 200-500 has the constant 5.6 aperture.
Hey can you help with d7500 portrait settings? Itd really help, i dont know why but everytime i take a portrait type picture it just dosent feel right itd be great if you could show up portrait and normal sharp picture settings
I'm no portrait expert, but the quality of your results are most likely going to come down to your lens and the light you have available. Are you shooting indoors/outdoors? Are you using a flash? What lenses are you using?
That's great Ben. The D5600 is also a fantastic camera. Although it doesn't have the fully articulated screen, I think you won't be disappointed with the D7500. Thanks for watching. 😊
@@Robert-Bishop I have compared the image quality between the D7500 and the D5600 and the images from the D7500 are definitely superior! There IS a difference! More saturation, better colours and the exposure is more true to life. The D5600 underexposed slightly - especially when there is sky in the frame. This can happen with most cameras ( though my Sony RX100 mark 6 has auto backlight which is great) so we need to be seated off this. Overall though, the D7500 handles everything really well! I wouldn’t worry too much about the non fully articulating screen - it’s a minor thing.
@@Robert-Bishop thank you Robert. I was expecting them to be the same, as I just bought the D5600 from marketplace. But alas - the D7500 image quality is way better. I found the exercise quite interesting.
It seems like a nice upgrade for me from D300. It was D500 vs D7500, but I'm just an amateur who does photos for personal albums and as a hobby, so I think D500 would be an overkill. The money I save by that choice I will spend for some zoom lenses 70-300mm for wild life photography.
The D7500 is a great camera - I only really upgraded to the D500 for the improved Burst rate and better focussing on moving subjects, but the D7500 is still very capable. The 70-300 is a pretty good lens too. Thanks for watching. 😊
Gracias! Me gusto mucho tu video, y aprendi cosas nuevas con esta camara nikon d7500 la tengo hace poco tiempo, la compre para actualizarme, soy fotografo aficionado, tu video fue muy interesante 💪
Yes it’s a great camera, I am using for 4 years, I believe it’s tech can with stand for another 5 years, we can upgrade to mirror less later. Mirror less is the way to go for future.
Great review AND video - and I mean everything: photos, music… EVERYTHING - giving much needed information in such a calm, friendly and objective manner - much appreciated! [Wish I could say the same for the D7500, though, after all this savage crippling Nikon did to it!] One question, though: I never quite understood what the point is in weather-sealing the cameras, but not the APS-C lenses [that work best with APS-C cameras]. Any ideas?
I think the 17-55 is weather sealed and it's also a great lens. Failing that, I guess you'd have to consider the high-end FF lenses. Thanks for watching and for your positive comments. 😊
@@Robert-Bishop The 17-55mm is indeed weather-sealed, also a great lens… TOO great, in fact, on the wide end, on the other hand too little on the long - not a 24-70/105/120mm equivalent and no stabilization! [All right, it is f/2.8, however there should be a 24-120mm f/4 *VR* DX, equally ruggedized equivalent, methinks.] Relying on “full frame” [35mm, aka FX in Nikon parlance] lenses beats the purpose of APS-C, though, also, photo quality-wise, does not work as well as APS-C dedicated lenses do. Additionally, although this is a wonderfully modern and capable camera, Nikon has made some head-scratching choices in making the D7500 - even considering the D500 - the most striking ones, in my order of disgruntledship [new word!], being: - 20MP [vs the D7200, Canon, … EVERYONE else!] - Noisy sensor in sane [up to 1600] ISO “speeds”, much better from 1600 upwards [?!] - 1 memory card only - YES, 2 ARE essential [also expected], when coughing up the D7x00 price! - No front-facing [side-hinged, of course - or even frame-mounted AND double-side-hinged, preferably, so it can be angled in every way possible - but we have yet to see this on a camera!] screen - Nikon is stubbornly and infuriatingly insistent on this, for no good reason! - No battery grip - OUCH! [BOO!] - No AI indexing for old lenses [loyal customers! - all right, cheap b@s+@rds (like me!), as well, still…] As far as I can see, the only reasons to buy one are practicality and convenience: good for learning photography at a [comparatively] low [second-hand] price [second-hand lenses’ prices and availability also not to be taken lightly!], backup pro camera … For the same money - possibly even less, considering weather-sealed FX lenses! - I would get [a second-hand] Olympus E-M1X, a 12-40mm and a 40-150mm [or just the 12-100mm, for starters!] Pro lenses, if I was to invest in a system for serious fun and work [beats Canon EOS R3 in all but eye-detection AF, almost 3 years earlier!]: - Excellent, TELECENTRIC lenses, with image STABILIZATION [where applicable - IBIS where not!] - Weather SEALING - PROOFING, more like - and CLEARLY [IPX1] spec’ed [can also be used for self-defence]! - Computational/AI Photography: Sensor-shift Hi-Res, Pro-Capture [saves your shutter, also time in post!], … - GPS GLONASS AND QZSS plus logging, compass, barometer [Field Sensors], *EXIF v2.31* [time zone info, e.a.]! - Dual *UHS-II* SD card slots - USB-C in-camera charging, ALONG WITH TWO BLH-1 batteries *AND TWO BCH-1 chargers!* - 400,000 actuations shutter rating! That being said, APS-C-wise, Nikon is admittedly unrivalled. I, myself, have the D60, the D3100, also, recently, I snatched a D5300 bargain! And for all this, I HATE Nikon! *I* thank you, Robert - if you’re still reading, that is! - for making such an unusually [for UA-cam!] composed [in all senses!], also, at the same time, PLEASANT assessment and positioning of the D7500. [I am just hoping to make it more specific and complete with my comments.]
@@polyviossimopoulos2436 You've certainly added a lot of specifics there Polyvios - thanks for that. I know quite a few people who swear by their Olympus cameras, and I tried some out at the recent Photography Show in Birmingham - they did seem very good. Many thanks for your input on this. :)
@@sdhute I can see the exposure indicator in the viewfinder of my Z7 when it's in manual mode. I'm not sure about other Z cameras, but I would imagine it's the same.
Springs of the multi selector are very soft ( not firm enough ), to me and there is a little bit of play ( brand new camera ) on this selector, between the point you don't feel the resistance of the springs and the one you do. Same for you, guys?
I've seen a few gear reviews recently but all Canon related and as a Nikon user through and through since the year dot this was really useful and interesting Robert. I'm still erring to the Z5 but a slight spanner in the works this week - after your wildlife film and one similar from Adrian Alford, I'm debating whether to go for Nikon AF-S Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Lens (second hand) as opposed to upgrading my body ??? Dilemmas and decisions !! Take care and thanks for the review.
Nice review Robert. As a fellow fan of Nikon (and also a Canon shooter at work) I can agree that the Nikon seems friendlier to use. I like the fact that the 7500 is weather sealed but it is a shame screen isn't full articulating - both things I'd be looking for in a camera upgrade.
The photographer's dilema! Funny, I never even had the 80-400 on my radar when I was looking at hyper zooms, but it would have been a great option. I love my new Sigma, but I know there are going to be occassions when I take my 70-300 out instead, just because it's so much lighter and easier to use. I guess the 80-400 would sit nicely somewhere between these two. The Z cameras are fantastic in my opinion, but you get great images anyway, so perhaps you don't need the new body?
Yeah - it's strange, they don't even put a fully articulating screen on the Z6 or Z7. Seems like a small thing, but I think they'd sell more cameras with that one small change! Afterall, they addressed the double card slot with the Z7ii and that went down well.
I haven't used an 80d personally, but from what I've read, the two cameras are very similar in specs and performance. It probably comes down to which system you prefer using and if you're used to Nikon already, you'll probably find the D7500 the better transition. Thanks for watching. 😊
As someone mainly interested in wildlife, landscape, and astro, should I get this or a Z50? The Z50 seems to be better, but the main issue is battery life and that I'd have to spend an extra £250 for an FTZ adapter. I currently have a D3400, with an AF-P DX 70-300mm VR, Sigma 17-50mm F/2.8, and a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 II
I think the Z50 is a better camera - it just comes down to whether you like mirrorless or not. Some people prefer an optical viewfinder, as you say the battery life is better with a DSLR and you will need the FTZ adaptor to use F mount lenses. I got the Z7 and haven't regretted it. Everything is moving in the direction of the Z system, so probably best to get on board at some point. D7500 is still a great camera though and you can get great results with it. 😊
Hi. I am satisfied with this camera. One thing that bothers me about it is the neck strap holder. When I hold the camera, the holder on the right side is annoying, it presses my index finger. It's a shame that it's not designed like the other 7000 series. Even on my old D80 camera, it's better, because it's a bit higher there and my finger doesn't press it. I'm very, very sorry about this and it's confusing. Everything else is fine. The lack of a card slot and grip does not bother me. Its image quality is sufficient for hobby purposes. Thanks for the presentation, have a nice day.
Good to get your thoughts on the camera. I haven't had the same issues personally, but I'm sure some people will find this information useful. Thanks for watching. 😊
A lot of it comes down to personal preference, but I think the market is only going to move more towards mirrorless going forward. Mirrorless will give you the better tech (IBIS and focusing etc), but it's worth remembering that the mirrorless lenses are quite a bit more expensive while there are more and more bargains to be found amongst the older DSLR lenses. As DSLRs go, the D7500 is fantastic - only beaten by the D500 and its superior focusing.
hey im confused between the d7500 and canon 90d for wildlife photography,which one should i get? Also im just getting into wildlife photography so is it worth it for me to spend a lot of money on the d500 or just got for the d7500
A used D500 can be cheaper than a new D7500 and it's certainly better in the focusing department and has better burst rate and overall features. The D7500 is certainly good enough for someone just starting out though. I'm afraid I can't advise on the Canon as I've never used one. Have fun. 😊
cool camera. i still use my D7000 with a 18-300mm for weddings and events, along with my a7iii. if its matched up with a good lens then ya can't go wrong really.
It's a tough one to answer George. The future is definitely mirrorless, and eventually you'll probably want to switch to a mirrorless system. However, there is a lot of life left in the D7500 and you can save a lot of money with a DSLR and F-Mount lenses. I'd also consider a used D500, as you can pick one up cheaper than a new D7500.
The D3500 is fantastic for the money, but if you can afford to wait for the D7500, you will certainly get a much better camera. You can get some good second hand deals if you search around. Thanks for watching. 😊
Yes, it's an excellent camera for sports photography. There are more expensive cameras that can do the job better, but if your budget is around that of the D7500 then it will serve you very well.
Thanks. I wouldn't say problems, but it certainly will miss some shots of birds in flight, particularly if you're in low light. The D500 has more autofocus points and copes much better.
Hi sir Good evening from India Currently use basic canon 1300d 55-250 mm lens Served me very well for last 4 years Now wish to upgrade to canon or nikon d7500? What will be your suggestion? Thnx a lot 🙏🏼
The 18-140 is very versatile, and you can definitely get good images with it. It can be a bit soft at some focal lengths though. I suppose you expect some kind of compromise, given the range it has. I don't have much experience with Cannon cameras these days, so can't advise there I'm afraid.
Bro, stop tempting me 😁. I love the D7500 but I already own a Z6ii, Zf with the pro lenses, D300, X30 and a LX100. I have been making all kinds of excuses to myself as to why I need a 7500. Nearly bought twice within the last two weeks and then had to stop myself. I DONT NEED ANYMORE CAMERAS 😬, or do I ?
I have D3200 at the moment but I struggle capturing motorsports I'm thinking of getting a D7500.... Would look like a huge improvement but my reservation is that its a bit long in the tooth so possibly replaced soon?
If you're wanting maximum longevity, it might be worth biting the bullet and going mirrorless. I think there's still a lot of life left in the D7500 yet though. I know people who are still using cameras that are much older.
@@Robert-Bishop I'm swayed to the 7500 so I can use the lenses I have..... But I see your point...... I'd be interested in your thoughts on equivalent mirror less. Main use would be hobby motorsports and family use
@@PaulGreenVlog I think the Nikon Z50 would be the closest equivalent. It can manage 11fps and the focusing system will be a step up on the D7500, so would work well for motorsports. If you wanted to spend a bit more and go full frame, you could consider the Z6. You can always get the FTZ adaptor and that will allow you to use older AF-S and AF-P lenses on the Z bodies.
Really useful vid Robert, thank you for taking the trouble to do it. I’m thinking of upgrading to this from my trusty old D40x and maybe pairing with a Sigma 70-200 Zoom, mostly for hobby action shots at equestrian events. Do you think it can handle that lense?
Thanks. I haven't used the Sigma 70-200 myself, but I can't see why it wouldn't pair well with the D7500. I use a Sigma 150-600 and that works great. 😊
Hi Robert. I was reading some online reviews and some complained that the D7500 produced a red streak on the right of the frame when using for dark or astro photography. Is this something I should be concerned about? I'm actually getting that camera in from Amazon.
Hi Roy. I haven't done much astro with the camera. I think only once. I didn't see any steaks on that occasion. I can't be much more help than that, I'm afraid, but my hunch is that it's not something to worry about. Plus you could probably remove the streak in Photoshop should it occur. 😊
@@Robert-Bishop Thanks Robert. I received my new D7500 this afternoon and I couldnt be more pleased. Lots to learn on this camera, but night and day performance over my old D5100 right out of the box.
If you're wanting Nikon DX lenses, the 17-55mm 2.8mm is very good, as is the 35mm 1.8g. The 18-140mm is good for traveling or when you don't want to carry too much. You can of course get FX lenses too, they'll have a different field of view on the D7500 body, but the more expensive ones tend to be pro spec and will deliver very good results. There are lots of good third party options too, such as the Sigma 17-50 and the Tokina 11-16 is a decent wide-angle zoom.
Elo. Really interstate video. I’m thinking of upgrading from the D5600, mainly because I need to be able to shoot 4K moving image. What do people in the comments (or the original poster) who own this camera have to say about the video capabilities? Also, how come you have your ISO so high? Thanks for helpful vid and hope people with hands on experience can let me know about the 4K moving image. Cheers
Many thanks for watching. Ironically, for a UA-camr, I'm not massively concerned with video, so I may not be the best person to comment on that. I've shot video with the D7500 and the quality is great, but I've never shot at 4k. Be aware that there is a 1.5x crop when shooting in 4k. About the ISO - I don't personally regard 100-320 as high. I was shooting hand held in fairly low light, and needed those ISOs to avoid motion blur in the images. When capturing fast moving subjects like birds, I'll often be using ISOs around 1000-2000 and have even got usable results all the way up at 6400. 😊
@@Robert-Bishop hey buddy. Thanks for the quick response. Just randomly stumbled upon your channel as I was searching D7500 videos. Had a quick browse through your vids. This Padley Gorge spot looks ideal, & I’m deffo guna be using some of your photoshop tutorials I expect. The parts of the vid this morning, when your in the car or talking to the camera, is that filmed on the 7500? Cheers for replying and you got a new sub. Cheers from a wet and grey Cornwall.
@@h-dawg969 That's great, thank you! All the video is done on a Sony ZV-1 now, just because it's so much more portable. Some of my early videos were filmed with the D7500 though - up to about Dec 2020. Great part of the world by the way - some beautiful photography locations down there. 😊
@@Robert-Bishop Canon decided to go ape balls and not release the source of their raws to adobe, from there the problems started with the color profiles in Adobe Software, no color profile retention but only in their crappy digital photo professional proprietary soft, also LR added tremendous amounts of noise no matter what to the new CR3 files. That was the last straw for me with canon
You say less depth of field. A 50mm 1.8 for instance on a FF has the same depth of field as on a apsc. No difference there. I think what you mean is when you want to simulate the FF field of view with an apsc camera. In that case you have to use a 35mm on an apsc to get 50mm FF equivalent. A 35mm has a different depth of field than a 50mm so that explains the difference in depth of field.
Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Although I was doubly wrong, as I said "less" when I meant "more". And perhaps 'deeper' would have been the more accurate word to use wrongly!
I am looking at what to upgrade my d5300 too at some point the d7500 is on my radar, anyone think its a good upgrade camera from d5300? I do wildlife photography
It depends on which camera model, but I think most people would compare the D7500 to the Canon D80. Through the viewfinder, the D7500 has better AF. Although the D80 can do better in Live View mode.
I always carry a spare, but I can't remember ever having needed to use it. Perhaps if you were using Liveview a lot, that would drain it, but I wouldn't recommend that for wildlife anyway.
Yeah, apologies I seem to have said the wrong thing here. What I wanted to say is that you can't achieve the same DoF with a crop sensor that you can with full frame and therefore you get less of the blurry backgrounds. But as you point out, this is because there is greater depth of field with an APS-C sensor, not less. Unfortunately I can't go back and change it now that it's published.
I've never owned the 200-500, so I can't give you any information from personal experience. I do know it's a very popular combination though, and lots of people rate it highly.
Hi Thank you for this wonderful share ~ such a nice content ,Great video shared. Keep it up and stay safe, stay connected. Warm greetings from New York.
It’s really a shame. Had times and the economies of the World been different, it would have been interesting to see what Nikon could have done with the D7500. Not knocking it like so many do, but Nikon did themselves a disservice with this camera. It’s about 90-95% of what it could have been. And yes, I recently bought and used one for a brief time. I think I got one of the last ones available? It went out of stock right after I bought it! I had wanted the D500, but just missed getting it, and so went with the D7500. Camera was new, from an Authorized dealer, but the switchgear, shutter sound, just seemed cheapened? I was especially put off by the lens mount, which had a course grind to it? Strange. D500 came up as available, so I returned the D7500, only because of those issues. I would rec’d the camera however. Just check it out before keeping. Peace
Hi George. You're the first person I've come across who has anything significantly negative to say about the D7500. Always good to get an alternative opinion though. Thanks for watching. 😊
@@Robert-Bishop Hi Robert! Thanks for reply! As I said in my comment, I am not knocking the camera, it does really well. I am basing my comment on the personal experience of having owned it for a brief time. I think I just got a ‘Monday’ camera, if there is such a thing in Thailand? 🤔😀 I would have likely exchanged it for another, had one been available, but then I received message a D500 was available, so I went that route. It fits my hand better. I have used both the D7100 ( still own) and 7200, and they were much better built, and were fine cameras. The D7500 DOES perform better than those cameras. AF is much better, and more accurate. The rear LCD on the 7500 is clear enough, and the touch screen, and the tilt feature seal the deal! Thanks again. Happy Shooting! Stay safe and Healthy!
Mi dispiace contraddirti, ma da utente sport posso dirti che il sistema AF è fantastico!!! (relazionandolo al prezzo e alla fascia di mercato in cui si trova la D7500) e te lo posso garantire che stai sbagliando, è un'informazione sbagliata.
I got a D7500 a week ago and it is already proving to be amazing.
Great - enjoy, and thanks for checking out the video. 😊
I am only a hobbyist & use D7100 & D500 .....I shoot both wildlife and 'general' landscapes.... love all Nikon gear.. cheers 😀
I have been using Nikon for years, back to the D50 and D100, what a change technology makes.
Yeah - being able to shoot 8fps is something that was only available with the flagship pro models only a few years ago, and now it's something we can get in a mid-level body.

Thanks for the Review, I have had a D7500 for 3 years and have taken a lot of great shots with it. I have been a Nikon shooter for a while now, D50, D70, two D90's, D7000, D7200, and a D750; which all of these have been sold or given away now. Currently I have the D7500, D850, and new this week, a Z6ii, which takes a lot of studying and watching lots of UA-cam videos. I think that this is a great video you have provided here for those who are interested in the D7500, I definitely enjoy using it 😀.
Sounds like you know your stuff about Nikons, so I appreciate the compliment. Thanks for watching and enjoy the Z6ii - I'm sure you'll love it. 😊
Wow, I'm finally upgrading from my D50. Looking forward to getting to know this cam.
Update on the Z6ii, after 3 months of use, was really starting to enjoy using it. But unfortunately it was stolen out of my vehicle a few weeks ago while in the St Louis area 😕. So it will be back to using the D7500. Serial number for Z6ii, 3013671, 24-70 F4, s/n 20248077. FTZ adapter s/n 30289320. Nikkor Z 24-200, s/n 20045139.
I’ve got this. I use it mainly with a Tamron 180/f3.5 macro and 300/f4D and 1.4 TC for wildlife. It handles beautifully. I don’t think the IQ beats my old D7100, but it’s much better for action shots.
Cool - sounds like you've got a great setup. I'd like to try both of those lenses! Thanks for watching. 😀
I'm moving in from the D-5000. I've shot action, wildlife, and macro with it. I hope the additional speed and control will help improve my shooting.
Great video Robert! I have the D7500 and I find the photo quality fantastic. The colours and lighting are great.
Due to the weight, I have bought a Z50 as well as I like the mirrorless systems. But I’ll keep ny D7500 as I just love it!
Thanks Michael. How do you find the Z50 compares to the D7500?
I had a drink every time you said "really". I was slaughtered by 3.32
It 'really' is one of my favourite words!
Thanks for sharing & comments...yes I love Nikon gear & I have used the D70s then D7100 & just updated to D500... Although only a hobbyist I am happy with results... still love using my D7100 & maybe should have upgraded my glass instead of my camera... cheers 😀..
Well you definitely get the better focus system in the D500, so it is a significant upgrade. What kind of things are you shooting?
Thanks for this review, I think I’m going to buy this D7500, I’m shooting right now with a D90, so this will be a big change!
Great! I don't have any experience with the D90, but I'm sure you'll really enjoy using the D7500. Thanks for watching. 😊
I upgraded my D90 to a D7500 3 years ago, it's a big improvement on speed and image quality especially in high ISO. Also the screen is great and the frame rate.
Got my nikon d7500 for 600pounds it had only taken 50 shots with a used 18-250 sigma for 100pounds money well spent it is a very good camera if you do not want to spend a lot of money .
Sounds like you got a bargain Andrew. How do you find the 18-250?
The lens works well as an all round go to lens even close up it is just a hobby for me to get out with my camera so happy with what i get from camera and lens'.@@Robert-Bishop
@@andrewgynn2252 Great. I think Sigma make some really good lenses.
A lot of the pros and cons are mentioned on lots of sellar and magazine sites. Good to hear from a professional who isnt giving u the hard sell.
I'm not a pro Andrew, but I have used the D7500 a lot, so I'm really pleased the video was of some use to you. 😊
The reason I went Canon many many years ago was due to the layout of the buttons compared to the Nikon I tried at the time. I only mention as all the money I have spent with Canon since all derived from that one small factor, based on handling two cameras in a 'Currys' for about 2 minutes each!....and a salesman pitching the Canon a bit harder (must've been more commission). When you mentioned the layout, it just reminded me of that sliding doors moment. Could have easily gone the other way and I'd be a Nikon shooter. Anyhow, the D7500 - 8fps with a fantastic buffer sounds like a great option for wildlife/sports action photography. Obviously you mentioned the focus system a little later which may hamper that a bit but still that's a decent spec camera. For me, the dual card slot thing only becomes absolutely vital if doing wedding/event photography and even then there's make-do's (yep had to use them early on in my career! but am thankful to have moved past that these days) but for most other genres there's probably do overs or you shoot tethered so no real issue (and assuming that a pro filmmaker would not be using this camera). As you mention 20mp is plenty and didn't Nikon make that a brand wide thing to sit all their top line APS-C format at around the 20mp range? Seemed like a good idea for me, Canon throw far too many MP at their crop sensor. Great review Robert
Thanks Dave. It's great that there are so many really good cameras out there at the moment - we're spoilt for choice when the deciding factor comes down to button layout. Yes, both the D500 and the Z50 are also 20.9mp. As you said in your last video, more than enough unless printing very large. Cheers for watching. 😊
For quick focus mode changing in the z6/7 you can use custom buttons on the front of the camera to switch between focus modes 😁
I have this , love it and want D850. I use for close-up and macro photography
Both very good cameras. Thanks for watching. 😊
Great Video dude, you are so good. Beautiful photos.
Cheers mate. 😊
The d7500 is the hidden gem of the Nikon line.
I think you might be right there Dave. You definitely get a lot of bang for your buck! 😀
In 2023 just got the D7500 for Us $400....i am happy
i enjoy the d7500 -- i'm purely a Nikon person and currently debating getting a mirrorless or a D500 to add to the collection. i agree the flash is an annoyance.
I would like the D500, just for the superior focussing system. I'm a big fan of the Z cameras too - it would be interesting to compare the Z50 and the D7500. Thanks for watching. 😀
@@Robert-Bishop agreed the z lenses are pretty expensive compared to other mfg for the same focal length. Unless you already have nikor lenses to convert.
Hi I have had the 7500 bout a year now paired with the 70-300mm and i like it.Waiting for delivery date of the 200-500mm. Also still have and use my old D80. Nikon works for me.
The 70-300 is a really versatile lens. It's so light weight. I nearly went for the 200-500 but went for the Sigma 150-600 in the end. Nice that there 200-500 has the constant 5.6 aperture.
@@Robert-Bishop Agree 5.6 apertures nice and I like Nikon for Nikon. just me. Hey great video keep it going.
Thank you Robert. You answered all of my questions
Great, I'm glad to hear it. 😊
Nice photos! The last one is especially fantastic; reminds me a bit of Ansel Adam’s photos in some way. :)
That's very kind, thank you, and thanks for watching. 😊
@ You’re welcome, Robert
This is really good insight, Thank you!!
Thanks, that's great to hear. 😊
Hey can you help with d7500 portrait settings?
Itd really help, i dont know why but everytime i take a portrait type picture it just dosent feel right itd be great if you could show up portrait and normal sharp picture settings
I'm no portrait expert, but the quality of your results are most likely going to come down to your lens and the light you have available. Are you shooting indoors/outdoors? Are you using a flash? What lenses are you using?
Thank you Robert great video I was thinking of upgrading from my d5600 and this has definitely made up my mind👍
That's great Ben. The D5600 is also a fantastic camera. Although it doesn't have the fully articulated screen, I think you won't be disappointed with the D7500. Thanks for watching. 😊
@@Robert-Bishop I have compared the image quality between the D7500 and the D5600 and the images from the D7500 are definitely superior! There IS a difference! More saturation, better colours and the exposure is more true to life. The D5600 underexposed slightly - especially when there is sky in the frame. This can happen with most cameras ( though my Sony RX100 mark 6 has auto backlight which is great) so we need to be seated off this. Overall though, the D7500 handles everything really well! I wouldn’t worry too much about the non fully articulating screen - it’s a minor thing.
@@michaelsmith697 Yeah, the sensor is far superior, I think. Glad you're getting good results with it. 😊
@@Robert-Bishop thank you Robert. I was expecting them to be the same, as I just bought the D5600 from marketplace. But alas - the D7500 image quality is way better. I found the exercise quite interesting.
Thank you. I needed this info. Bless u
Great! Really glad to hear that. Thanks for watching. 😀
It seems like a nice upgrade for me from D300. It was D500 vs D7500, but I'm just an amateur who does photos for personal albums and as a hobby, so I think D500 would be an overkill. The money I save by that choice I will spend for some zoom lenses 70-300mm for wild life photography.
The D7500 is a great camera - I only really upgraded to the D500 for the improved Burst rate and better focussing on moving subjects, but the D7500 is still very capable. The 70-300 is a pretty good lens too. Thanks for watching. 😊
Gracias! Me gusto mucho tu video, y aprendi cosas nuevas con esta camara nikon d7500 la tengo hace poco tiempo, la compre para actualizarme, soy fotografo aficionado, tu video fue muy interesante 💪
Thanks very much. It's a great camera, I'm sure you will love using it. 😀
Great review, do really think for a beginner this camera is better than the Sony a6400. Thanks in advance for any advice.
I'm afraid I have no experience with the Sony A6400. I can tell you the D7500 is more than enough for a beginner camera though. Thanks for watching. 😊
Yes it’s a great camera, I am using for 4 years, I believe it’s tech can with stand for another 5 years, we can upgrade to mirror less later. Mirror less is the way to go for future.
I agree Raja. Still plenty of life left in DSLR, but eventually it's all about mirrorless. Thanks for watching. 😊
Great review AND video - and I mean everything: photos, music… EVERYTHING - giving much needed information in such a calm, friendly and objective manner - much appreciated! [Wish I could say the same for the D7500, though, after all this savage crippling Nikon did to it!]
One question, though:
I never quite understood what the point is in weather-sealing the cameras, but not the APS-C lenses [that work best with APS-C cameras].
Any ideas?
I think the 17-55 is weather sealed and it's also a great lens. Failing that, I guess you'd have to consider the high-end FF lenses. Thanks for watching and for your positive comments. 😊
@@Robert-Bishop The 17-55mm is indeed weather-sealed, also a great lens… TOO great, in fact, on the wide end, on the other hand too little on the long - not a 24-70/105/120mm equivalent and no stabilization! [All right, it is f/2.8, however there should be a 24-120mm f/4 *VR* DX, equally ruggedized equivalent, methinks.] Relying on “full frame” [35mm, aka FX in Nikon parlance] lenses beats the purpose of APS-C, though, also, photo quality-wise, does not work as well as APS-C dedicated lenses do.
Additionally, although this is a wonderfully modern and capable camera, Nikon has made some head-scratching choices in making the D7500 - even considering the D500 - the most striking ones, in my order of disgruntledship [new word!], being:
- 20MP [vs the D7200, Canon, … EVERYONE else!]
- Noisy sensor in sane [up to 1600] ISO “speeds”, much better from 1600 upwards [?!]
- 1 memory card only - YES, 2 ARE essential [also expected], when coughing up the D7x00 price!
- No front-facing [side-hinged, of course - or even frame-mounted AND double-side-hinged, preferably, so it can be angled in every way possible - but we have yet to see this on a camera!] screen - Nikon is stubbornly and infuriatingly insistent on this, for no good reason!
- No battery grip - OUCH! [BOO!]
- No AI indexing for old lenses [loyal customers! - all right, cheap b@s+@rds (like me!), as well, still…]
As far as I can see, the only reasons to buy one are practicality and convenience: good for learning photography at a [comparatively] low [second-hand] price [second-hand lenses’ prices and availability also not to be taken lightly!], backup pro camera …
For the same money - possibly even less, considering weather-sealed FX lenses! - I would get [a second-hand] Olympus E-M1X, a 12-40mm and a 40-150mm [or just the 12-100mm, for starters!] Pro lenses, if I was to invest in a system for serious fun and work [beats Canon EOS R3 in all but eye-detection AF, almost 3 years earlier!]:
- Excellent, TELECENTRIC lenses, with image STABILIZATION [where applicable - IBIS where not!]
- Weather SEALING - PROOFING, more like - and CLEARLY [IPX1] spec’ed [can also be used for self-defence]!
- Computational/AI Photography: Sensor-shift Hi-Res, Pro-Capture [saves your shutter, also time in post!], …
- GPS GLONASS AND QZSS plus logging, compass, barometer [Field Sensors], *EXIF v2.31* [time zone info, e.a.]!
- Dual *UHS-II* SD card slots
- USB-C in-camera charging, ALONG WITH TWO BLH-1 batteries *AND TWO BCH-1 chargers!*
- 400,000 actuations shutter rating!
That being said, APS-C-wise, Nikon is admittedly unrivalled. I, myself, have the D60, the D3100, also, recently, I snatched a D5300 bargain! And for all this, I HATE Nikon!
*I* thank you, Robert - if you’re still reading, that is! - for making such an unusually [for UA-cam!] composed [in all senses!], also, at the same time, PLEASANT assessment and positioning of the D7500. [I am just hoping to make it more specific and complete with my comments.]
@@polyviossimopoulos2436 You've certainly added a lot of specifics there Polyvios - thanks for that. I know quite a few people who swear by their Olympus cameras, and I tried some out at the recent Photography Show in Birmingham - they did seem very good. Many thanks for your input on this. :)
The 10-20mm lens would be my reason for purchase. Can you see the level inside the OVF?
You can see the exposure indicator, if that's what you mean, Steve?
@@Robert-Bishop yes, strange nikon has not made this in a z mount.
@@sdhute I can see the exposure indicator in the viewfinder of my Z7 when it's in manual mode. I'm not sure about other Z cameras, but I would imagine it's the same.
Springs of the multi selector are very soft ( not firm enough ), to me and there is a little bit of play ( brand new camera ) on this selector, between the point you don't feel the resistance of the springs and the one you do. Same for you, guys?
I've seen a few gear reviews recently but all Canon related and as a Nikon user through and through since the year dot this was really useful and interesting Robert. I'm still erring to the Z5 but a slight spanner in the works this week - after your wildlife film and one similar from Adrian Alford, I'm debating whether to go for Nikon AF-S Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Lens (second hand) as opposed to upgrading my body ??? Dilemmas and decisions !! Take care and thanks for the review.
Nice review Robert. As a fellow fan of Nikon (and also a Canon shooter at work) I can agree that the Nikon seems friendlier to use. I like the fact that the 7500 is weather sealed but it is a shame screen isn't full articulating - both things I'd be looking for in a camera upgrade.
The photographer's dilema! Funny, I never even had the 80-400 on my radar when I was looking at hyper zooms, but it would have been a great option. I love my new Sigma, but I know there are going to be occassions when I take my 70-300 out instead, just because it's so much lighter and easier to use. I guess the 80-400 would sit nicely somewhere between these two. The Z cameras are fantastic in my opinion, but you get great images anyway, so perhaps you don't need the new body?
Yeah - it's strange, they don't even put a fully articulating screen on the Z6 or Z7. Seems like a small thing, but I think they'd sell more cameras with that one small change! Afterall, they addressed the double card slot with the Z7ii and that went down well.
I need to upgrade from nikon p900, i am more into macro followed by bird photography, which is better Canon 80d or Nikon 7500?
I haven't used an 80d personally, but from what I've read, the two cameras are very similar in specs and performance. It probably comes down to which system you prefer using and if you're used to Nikon already, you'll probably find the D7500 the better transition. Thanks for watching. 😊
@@Robert-Bishop thank you Robert.
As someone mainly interested in wildlife, landscape, and astro, should I get this or a Z50?
The Z50 seems to be better, but the main issue is battery life and that I'd have to spend an extra £250 for an FTZ adapter.
I currently have a D3400, with an AF-P DX 70-300mm VR, Sigma 17-50mm F/2.8, and a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 II
I think the Z50 is a better camera - it just comes down to whether you like mirrorless or not. Some people prefer an optical viewfinder, as you say the battery life is better with a DSLR and you will need the FTZ adaptor to use F mount lenses. I got the Z7 and haven't regretted it. Everything is moving in the direction of the Z system, so probably best to get on board at some point. D7500 is still a great camera though and you can get great results with it. 😊
Hi.
I am satisfied with this camera. One thing that bothers me about it is the neck strap holder. When I hold the camera, the holder on the right side is annoying, it presses my index finger. It's a shame that it's not designed like the other 7000 series. Even on my old D80 camera, it's better, because it's a bit higher there and my finger doesn't press it. I'm very, very sorry about this and it's confusing. Everything else is fine. The lack of a card slot and grip does not bother me. Its image quality is sufficient for hobby purposes.
Thanks for the presentation, have a nice day.
Good to get your thoughts on the camera. I haven't had the same issues personally, but I'm sure some people will find this information useful. Thanks for watching. 😊
I have its older brother the D7200 - great camera 📷👍
Thanks Eltin, I know a few people who own the D7200 and still use it today. Great camera from what I hear.
I am on Nikon D5100 since 2012. Looking to upgrade. Can’t decide between going for Mirrorless or This.
A lot of it comes down to personal preference, but I think the market is only going to move more towards mirrorless going forward. Mirrorless will give you the better tech (IBIS and focusing etc), but it's worth remembering that the mirrorless lenses are quite a bit more expensive while there are more and more bargains to be found amongst the older DSLR lenses. As DSLRs go, the D7500 is fantastic - only beaten by the D500 and its superior focusing.
@@Robert-Bishop will wait for market to mature for sometime, anyways not going anywhere for now in this pandemic
hey im confused between the d7500 and canon 90d for wildlife photography,which one should i get? Also im just getting into wildlife photography so is it worth it for me to spend a lot of money on the d500 or just got for the d7500
A used D500 can be cheaper than a new D7500 and it's certainly better in the focusing department and has better burst rate and overall features. The D7500 is certainly good enough for someone just starting out though. I'm afraid I can't advise on the Canon as I've never used one. Have fun. 😊
cool camera. i still use my D7000 with a 18-300mm for weddings and events, along with my a7iii. if its matched up with a good lens then ya can't go wrong really.
Does the D7000 have the dual card slots?
@@Robert-Bishop yeah. It’s a nice wee feature. I use it as an overflow. So when one card is full the other will start.
I still shoot with a D90... !
Well as they say, if it's not broken... 😊
Excellent video analysis. I have a D7000 and I'm thinking of uploading level.... Do you think the D7500 would be a good choice today? Thank you.
It's a tough one to answer George. The future is definitely mirrorless, and eventually you'll probably want to switch to a mirrorless system. However, there is a lot of life left in the D7500 and you can save a lot of money with a DSLR and F-Mount lenses. I'd also consider a used D500, as you can pick one up cheaper than a new D7500.
Those are always show us a good pictures with your camera.
Thanks my friend
Yeah, it's a great camera. Thanks. 😊
I was thinking to get D3500 as my first camera...now I think I better save my money for this one!!
The D3500 is fantastic for the money, but if you can afford to wait for the D7500, you will certainly get a much better camera. You can get some good second hand deals if you search around. Thanks for watching. 😊
Mine is now up to 180,000 shutter activations and still ticking over nicely.
That's great - what a workhorse!
Great Camera Review, thanks for sharing
Thanks Tony.
Is this camera good for landscape and architecture photography
I'm looking for a camera that I can use to take action shots at football matches, would you recommend this camera?
Yes, it's an excellent camera for sports photography. There are more expensive cameras that can do the job better, but if your budget is around that of the D7500 then it will serve you very well.
Hello, nice review. Did u noticed any autofocus problems ? Thx for your answer :)
Thanks. I wouldn't say problems, but it certainly will miss some shots of birds in flight, particularly if you're in low light. The D500 has more autofocus points and copes much better.
Hi sir
Good evening from India
Currently use basic canon 1300d 55-250 mm lens
Served me very well for last 4 years
Now wish to upgrade to canon or nikon d7500?
What will be your suggestion?
Thnx a lot 🙏🏼
I only use Nikon these days, so I'm biased. The D7500 is a great camera, but maybe it's an advantage if you can use your old lenses with a new Canon?
I'm looking at this with the 18-140 vs the EOS RP. Which would be the better choice (shooting landscapes, artwork). Is the 18-140 a sharp lens?
The 18-140 is very versatile, and you can definitely get good images with it. It can be a bit soft at some focal lengths though. I suppose you expect some kind of compromise, given the range it has. I don't have much experience with Cannon cameras these days, so can't advise there I'm afraid.
Bro, stop tempting me 😁. I love the D7500 but I already own a Z6ii, Zf with the pro lenses, D300, X30 and a LX100.
I have been making all kinds of excuses to myself as to why I need a 7500. Nearly bought twice within the last two weeks and then had to stop myself. I DONT NEED ANYMORE CAMERAS 😬, or do I ?
Haha, sorry. I know - I have to resist the GAS too! 😂
I have D3200 at the moment but I struggle capturing motorsports I'm thinking of getting a D7500.... Would look like a huge improvement but my reservation is that its a bit long in the tooth so possibly replaced soon?
If you're wanting maximum longevity, it might be worth biting the bullet and going mirrorless. I think there's still a lot of life left in the D7500 yet though. I know people who are still using cameras that are much older.
@@Robert-Bishop I'm swayed to the 7500 so I can use the lenses I have..... But I see your point...... I'd be interested in your thoughts on equivalent mirror less. Main use would be hobby motorsports and family use
@@PaulGreenVlog I think the Nikon Z50 would be the closest equivalent. It can manage 11fps and the focusing system will be a step up on the D7500, so would work well for motorsports. If you wanted to spend a bit more and go full frame, you could consider the Z6. You can always get the FTZ adaptor and that will allow you to use older AF-S and AF-P lenses on the Z bodies.
Really useful vid Robert, thank you for taking the trouble to do it. I’m thinking of upgrading to this from my trusty old D40x and maybe pairing with a Sigma 70-200 Zoom, mostly for hobby action shots at equestrian events. Do you think it can handle that lense?
Thanks. I haven't used the Sigma 70-200 myself, but I can't see why it wouldn't pair well with the D7500. I use a Sigma 150-600 and that works great. 😊
@@Robert-Bishop Thank you. I’ll do more research but I think I’ll probably go for it. 😎👍
Hi Robert. I was reading some online reviews and some complained that the D7500 produced a red streak on the right of the frame when using for dark or astro photography. Is this something I should be concerned about? I'm actually getting that camera in from Amazon.
Hi Roy. I haven't done much astro with the camera. I think only once. I didn't see any steaks on that occasion. I can't be much more help than that, I'm afraid, but my hunch is that it's not something to worry about. Plus you could probably remove the streak in Photoshop should it occur. 😊
@@Robert-Bishop Thanks Robert. I received my new D7500 this afternoon and I couldnt be more pleased. Lots to learn on this camera, but night and day performance over my old D5100 right out of the box.
@@royeubanks639 Glad to hear it Roy. 😊
Thanks so much a video very interesting because i look for buy a Nikon d 7500 used
It's a great choice! Thanks for watching. 😊
Hi what’s the best lenses for this camera to take photographs mainly for landscape please?
If you're wanting Nikon DX lenses, the 17-55mm 2.8mm is very good, as is the 35mm 1.8g. The 18-140mm is good for traveling or when you don't want to carry too much. You can of course get FX lenses too, they'll have a different field of view on the D7500 body, but the more expensive ones tend to be pro spec and will deliver very good results. There are lots of good third party options too, such as the Sigma 17-50 and the Tokina 11-16 is a decent wide-angle zoom.
Elo.
Really interstate video. I’m thinking of upgrading from the D5600, mainly because I need to be able to shoot 4K moving image. What do people in the comments (or the original poster) who own this camera have to say about the video capabilities?
Also, how come you have your ISO so high?
Thanks for helpful vid and hope people with hands on experience can let me know about the 4K moving image.
Cheers
Many thanks for watching. Ironically, for a UA-camr, I'm not massively concerned with video, so I may not be the best person to comment on that. I've shot video with the D7500 and the quality is great, but I've never shot at 4k. Be aware that there is a 1.5x crop when shooting in 4k. About the ISO - I don't personally regard 100-320 as high. I was shooting hand held in fairly low light, and needed those ISOs to avoid motion blur in the images. When capturing fast moving subjects like birds, I'll often be using ISOs around 1000-2000 and have even got usable results all the way up at 6400. 😊
@@Robert-Bishop hey buddy. Thanks for the quick response.
Just randomly stumbled upon your channel as I was searching D7500 videos. Had a quick browse through your vids. This Padley Gorge spot looks ideal, & I’m deffo guna be using some of your photoshop tutorials I expect.

@@h-dawg969 That's great, thank you! All the video is done on a Sony ZV-1 now, just because it's so much more portable. Some of my early videos were filmed with the D7500 though - up to about Dec 2020. Great part of the world by the way - some beautiful photography locations down there. 😊

Ok, how are the raw files on this? any issues like canon has in adobe software?
I'm not familiar with the Canon issues, but I've never had any problems with NEF files in Lightroom and Photoshop.
@@Robert-Bishop Canon decided to go ape balls and not release the source of their raws to adobe, from there the problems started with the color profiles in Adobe Software, no color profile retention but only in their crappy digital photo professional proprietary soft, also LR added tremendous amounts of noise no matter what to the new CR3 files. That was the last straw for me with canon
@@SebastianDavidPB Sounds like a nightmare! Definitely none of that with the Nikon RAWs.
You say less depth of field. A 50mm 1.8 for instance on a FF has the same depth of field as on a apsc. No difference there. I think what you mean is when you want to simulate the FF field of view with an apsc camera. In that case you have to use a 35mm on an apsc to get 50mm FF equivalent. A 35mm has a different depth of field than a 50mm so that explains the difference in depth of field.
Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Although I was doubly wrong, as I said "less" when I meant "more". And perhaps 'deeper' would have been the more accurate word to use wrongly!
@@Robert-Bishop or less shallow😁
I am looking at what to upgrade my d5300 too at some point the d7500 is on my radar, anyone think its a good upgrade camera from d5300? I do wildlife photography
I need to do bird photography AF is more important. Do you think its better than Canon??
It depends on which camera model, but I think most people would compare the D7500 to the Canon D80. Through the viewfinder, the D7500 has better AF. Although the D80 can do better in Live View mode.
Very helpful- thank you!!
Great, glad it was useful. 😊
I've just got a D7500. Do you need to purchase a 2nd battery or is the battery life ok ( for a days wildlife shioting)?.
I always carry a spare, but I can't remember ever having needed to use it. Perhaps if you were using Liveview a lot, that would drain it, but I wouldn't recommend that for wildlife anyway.
Less depth of field with an aps-c? 😮
Yeah, apologies I seem to have said the wrong thing here. What I wanted to say is that you can't achieve the same DoF with a crop sensor that you can with full frame and therefore you get less of the blurry backgrounds. But as you point out, this is because there is greater depth of field with an APS-C sensor, not less. Unfortunately I can't go back and change it now that it's published.
@@Robert-Bishop no worries. Great video!
Sir how is D7500 with 200-500 mm nikon lens perfom in wildlife photography?
I've never owned the 200-500, so I can't give you any information from personal experience. I do know it's a very popular combination though, and lots of people rate it highly.
Hi Thank you for this wonderful share ~ such a nice content ,Great video shared. Keep it up and stay safe, stay connected. Warm greetings from New York.
Thanks very much. 😊
It’s really a shame. Had times and the economies of the World been different, it would have been interesting to see what Nikon could have done with the D7500. Not knocking it like so many do, but Nikon did themselves a disservice with this camera. It’s about 90-95% of what it could have been. And yes, I recently bought and used one for a brief time. I think I got one of the last ones available? It went out of stock right after I bought it!
I had wanted the D500, but just missed getting it, and so went with the D7500. Camera was new, from an Authorized dealer, but the switchgear, shutter sound, just seemed cheapened? I was especially put off by the lens mount, which had a course grind to it? Strange. D500 came up as available, so I returned the D7500, only because of those issues. I would rec’d the camera however. Just check it out before keeping. Peace
Hi George. You're the first person I've come across who has anything significantly negative to say about the D7500. Always good to get an alternative opinion though. Thanks for watching. 😊
@@Robert-Bishop Hi Robert! Thanks for reply! As I said in my comment, I am not knocking the camera, it does really well. I am basing my comment on the personal experience of having owned it for a brief time. I think I just got a ‘Monday’ camera, if there is such a thing in Thailand? 🤔😀
I would have likely exchanged it for another, had one been available, but then I received message a D500 was available, so I went that route. It fits my hand better. I have used both the D7100 ( still own) and 7200, and they were much better built, and were fine cameras. The D7500 DOES perform better than those cameras. AF is much better, and more accurate. The rear LCD on the 7500 is clear enough, and the touch screen, and the tilt feature seal the deal! Thanks again. Happy Shooting! Stay safe and Healthy!
One of the last ones available? Are you drunk, ignorant or both? It's in production and stocked everywhere as of June 7, 2022.
do you make macro fotos and videos spanish subt?
I wish I could, but I don't know Spanish, sorry.
Hi bro...this is amazing content
Thanks, I appreciate that. 😊
Live view Histogram?
Yes, it can do that Dennis. 😊
Ive had a nightmare with my d7500
Mi dispiace contraddirti, ma da utente sport posso dirti che il sistema AF è fantastico!!! (relazionandolo al prezzo e alla fascia di mercato in cui si trova la D7500) e te lo posso garantire che stai sbagliando, è un'informazione sbagliata.
Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion. 😊

subbed :)
No mention here again of the hourglass in viewfinder mode... 🙄🤥
I'm not sure what you mean Roger.
