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 - Навчання та стиль
![ЛЕБЕДЕВ у ДУДЯ: муху не обманешь 😁 [Пародия]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/E74h5fvVrqs/mqdefault.jpg)
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.
Great story, thanks!
Exactly, Photography is based on Light not the gear, If you watch some of these pro challenges the big youtubers put on the first thing the pro wants to follow is the light.. chase the light..
@@DAVE_WHITE Absolutely true! I have a photo that I'm particularly fond of, which I took years ago with a Galaxy S2. Despite being a relatively basic camera by today's standards, the picture turned out remarkably well because I set it up with proper lighting using a flashlight. It looked almost like a shot taken with a DSLR, albeit with lower resolution. This experience taught me that it's not just the camera that determines the quality of a photo, but the person behind it.
Having the right equipment is beneficial, but skill, artistic ability, experience, and the willingness to experiment and take chances are far more important. I still use my Nikon D5100 and currently shoot with a D3300, but I'm considering upgrading to the D7500. Everything I've seen about it suggests it's a fantastic camera, and I prefer to stick with DSLRs. They offer the reliability and control that are essential for capturing great shots, regardless of the circumstances.
My D7500 has just made the 372,000 shutter mark. Still going as well as the day I bought it.
Sounds great 👍
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.
Thank you, the D7500 is the logical upgrade coming from the D3500 indeed.
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
So true.
I'm thinking about same move from D3500 and I'm happy that I see that is good idea
I also moved from the 3500 to the 7500 and I'm glad I did. The 3500 is a fine entry level DSLR but the 7500 gives you so much bang for your buck.
Yes. I have d3200 also and it makes the d3200 feel small.
@@michaelwestdyk1742 am certain the D3500 is a descendant of the D3200 so imagine they are very similar in size and weight So I know how you feel regarding the two units
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 🇲🇽🌮
Thanks for sharing 🧇🍻🇧🇪
Wow! Your Photography, Your Paintings, Your video all TOP NOTCH! GOD Bless
Thanks 🙏
Thinking of getting one of these cameras as a beginner. Thanks for the detailed review and breakdown. Super helpful!
This camera is more than sufficient to start as a novice photographer, but can also be used professionally.
That’s exactly what I did, and I love it.
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.
Thanks, you won't regret it!
Nice well thought out review and agree a gr8 forgotten camera.Thnk you
Thanks!
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.
Great, thank you!
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.
Thanks for your story.
Thanks for the video, it helped me take a call. There's one more point, your painting is also great
Oh, thank you so much!
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.
First of all, let me say I'm glad you've got your sight back.
I think the D7500 is the perfect middle ground between the D3400 and the D500.
Overall, you will be able to achieve 95% of your goals over the D500. Unless you only shoot sports and action.
The D500 cameras that come on the market second-hand also often come from (semi) professional use. As a result, these cameras are often not too aesthetically pleasing.
In that respect, I would therefore rather opt for a new D7500, while it is still possible.
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.
Thanks for your comment.
I love D7500. It is still serving me well.
Great camera, enjoy it!
Same, love mine 🙏🏼
I did the D-3100 / D-5600 and now within the past week, the D7500. Its an amazing camera, and I can see already how superior the camera is to the mid range D-5600 series. The view screen and the shutter reacts so much more professionally. With my 10-20mm Nikkor lens it feels as if there is a good deal more real estate to work with. I might have to swap between bodies to make a comparison. Great review.
Thanks! Good luck.
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. 😊
I think you made the right choice with the D7500. Welcome to the wonderful world of photography.
I too just bought a D7500 from KEH for Christmas to replace an old D90. It looks and operates like brand new.
Enjoy your camera.
I've bought 2 awesome lenses from KEH in Like New condition. They truly are like new.
Thank you so much for a very useful view of this camera. I have just ordered a new one in Australia and you have had a very positive influence on having made the right choice for me. I was initially after more frames per second than my wonderful D5600 could supply. I looked at mirrorless and couldn't justify new lenses as and all up cost of changing over. Now I keep my much loved lenses and get advanced video and more benefits. I'm truly happy and inspired. My true love is macro but sports and wildlife are now more easily approached with the faster frame rate. Thank you so much. Steve.
Good luck!
Hi Steve. Like you, I love my d5600 and also would like to have the extra fps and buffer depth. My d5600 has some very noticeable shutter shake/slap, does yours have that? Or is it just my camera? Does the d7500 address the shutter issue? Thank you.
A DSLR always has an audible mirror clap.
With the D7500 it is not bothersome.
I'm also considering upgrading from my nikon d5500 , well I've already sold it lol. I am torn up between getting a home used D7500 or D810 but considering the the extra buck on the d810, I think I should go for the D7500. first I didn't like the idea of leaving a 24MP camera for a 20MP but here we are lol
You won’t see any difference between the 24 and 21 Megapixel.
I would get the D7500, the D810 is heavy and lacks the articulated screen.
Very well done video! I pair mine with the Tamron 18-400mm lens for a truly one lens travel camera. I do like the built-in flash, especially for fill. The D500 does not have this feature. The 7500 also shoots 4k video and has mic and headphone inputs, and hdmi and usb out. I don't miss the 2nd card slot, but simply get a high quality, large, and fast card, even for 4k video. 20 megapixels is plenty of resolution, and actually does better in low light than denser chips. It's a bit heavier than some modern dslr's but also built like a tank. If the camera has a weak point, it's focusing on moving objects.
Thanks for your comment!
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.
100% agreed.
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.
Thank you for your respons!
I use a D7500 with a 500mm f4 for wildlife. Brilliant camera, absolutely love it.
Wow, great!
Just purchased my d7500. Had a Nikon d40x. super light weight. This isn't much heavier. I do car shows, NHRA, Formula drift, IMSA cars, I have big lenses but intend to upgrade. This review was very informative.
Glad I could help you.
Cheers.
Great review of this amazing camera. I have just bought this camera for my kit and am interested in its low light and high speed performance. Eight frames a second to 100 shots in Jpeg to the buffer (50RAW) is amazing. I am hoping to couple this camera with a DX 70-300mm AFP VR zoom for some great wildlife shots. If you are careful you can buy this camera at about 1/3 off its original price. This makes this camera a total bargain!!
Good luck with your camera!
Am in love with it though I want to change the lens
I too started with a D3500 from Cosco. After awhile I wanted a camera with back button focus and a tilt screen. I chose the D7500 with the 18 to 140 kit lens and am very pleased. I feel I will never master all that this camera has to offer. With the Signa 100 to 400 itis outstanding.
Good luck with the D7500!
Wowww... Very informative review.
Thanks!
The 51-point 3D AF tracking of the Nikon D7500 is still a jem, with me using her for all my AF-D lenses today!
Great, what af-d lenses do you use?
Retired and looking for a good hobby. Been looking at the 7500 and will be ordering it today. Thank you so much for your knowledge in helping me decide. 😊
It’s a great camera!
Nice review, thanks! A single memory card is not a show stopper, you can always bring a spare or two.
Exactly, I always have a few spare SD cards with me, but I've actually never needed them in all those years.
I upgraded from a D200 to the D7500 in 2019. I paint animal portraits, and I use the D7500 to photograph my animal models. I've captured images of dogs and horses running and playing, not always in the best lighting. This camera can produce gorgeous photos with plenty of detail. Once you learn what metering and focus settings work for you, you'll find the autofocus fast and accurate. I've shot images in the fog and rain, and the camera has been bounced around a bit. It is a solid piece of equipment that has served me well.
Thanks for your story!
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
Thanks for your reply!
The prices are dropping fast of the used d7500’s. Maybe you can pick up one at some point.
I have also the z50 and I find the 24mm F/1.7 dx and the 50-250mm dx really great lenses.
Although you can mount the f-lenses on the z-mount by the ftz-adapter, the body-lens balance isn’t the same as mounted on a dedicated f-mount camera.
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.
It is a great camera indeed!
A superb camera, truly worth having in my opinion.
It sure is!
Muy bellas fotografias, que calidad increible de la Nikon
Gracias!
Got this a month ago with the 18-140 kit lens. And added a second hand 70-300 mm lens. PERFECT combination to travel for a hobbyist photographer.
Great 👍
i recently buy it, thanks excelent video
Great 👍
Thank you for the informative video! I have a camera like that. Unfortunately, there are few professional videos on how to use it. Photography professionals tend to discourage the use of this camera.
I think that compared to the d500 there are some software bugs that Nikon does not acknowledge.
For example, when the rear focus button is set to focus priority, the shutter button can be used to take a shot even if the subject is out of focus. Back focus priority only works well by default when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
Thank you! Nikon is currently prioritizing the new mirrorless cameras.
I don't think we should expect any more software updates for DSLR cameras.
I’m coming from a Panasonic FZ-80, and thinking of upgrading to the Nikon D7500, mostly for bird photography. My cousin uses one and gets amazing results. I’m hoping the learning curve won’t be too steep!
It's a great camera but the Nikon Z50 Mirrorless Camera with 16-50mm and 50-250mm Lenses is the better choice in 2024 I think.
Have it and love it! I upgraded from my D5200.
Nice upgrade!
@@WimBals Thanks, saw it as a logical choice to further my slow progression into photography.
I bought it with the18-140mm zoomlens. I am very satisfied and it produced excellent results.
It is a great camera.
@@WimBalsI have this camera paired with the nikon 70 200 efl lens,great images
Well detailed
Thanks
Great camera !! I pair with a 70/200 2.8 , some great shots.
Enjoy it!
The problem with the D7500 is that it's purposefully mid-tier camera, and consumers and media have lost the ability to talk/discuss mid-tier anything. It's always about the flagships. So the D500 is still revered enough though it's sales dropped off after the first 3 years.; everyone who wanted one bought it up front or moved on to the D850, which has the same focus/exposure and same pixel density but higher resolution. Whereas the D7500 is still going, because it's a more reasonable package for your advanced amateur, smaller lighter and about 90% of the real world performance.
Thanks for your comment.
Thank you. Am about to buy Nikon D7500
Great 👍
Thinking about this as an upgrade from my d5300 to use with my Sigma 150-600mm lens.
Works great together!
I almost forgot that I have this camera now I shoot fullframe. I can remember it recieved quite a lot of criticism. Well, only thing I miss is the aperture lever so it can meter with ais lenses.
Yes, true
Wim, I agree with all you say about the D7500 camera. The only weakness I've found is the AF, as I like to do BIF, whenever possible. A D500 is then a better choice!
Sure, the D7500 is a trimmed down version of the D500. For fast action the D500 is the one to get.
This was so helpful, thank you! I've been trying to figure out what camera to buy and I've been leaning toward a Nikon for a very long time. Just didn't know which one. Tonight when leaving work I mentioned that I was going to go down the youtube rabbit hole of camera reviews over the weekend. She said I should just buy hers (I had no idea she had one to sell). Low and behold it's a Nikon D7500 and she had it in her office. I took a look at it, it's in great shape and she's only taken 600 photos with it. She's selling the whole thing with bag and lenses and flash for $1000. Is that a good deal??
That's a great deal in my opinion.
Just shot motocross Yesterday with my d7500 and 70-200 2.8 :) group focus 1600 and Up shutter speed auto iso.. still a dam good little light camera when you are shooting for over 8 hours only went through one battery in over 3
K images
That battery life is insane!
I just bought one in MINT condition from Roberts/UsedPhotoPro for $737USD shutter count 250! Moving up from the D5500. I was torn between the D7500 and the D500. However, the capabilities are so similar that the size and weight were the deciding factors.
That sounds like a great deal! Happy shooting!
Thank you for the good and helpfull review. I have a nikon d3500 and searching for a upgrade, the nikon d7500 is on the top off my list. I have a Tamron 18 - 400 MM zoomlens, that is compatible with the D7500. I am intent to buy a nikon kit, with a 35 mm or a 50 mm primelens. With the crop lens a 1,5 mm x will be @ on to the mm.
Have any one experience with the prime lens & D7500?
Prime lenses work great on the D7500.
I would choose the 35mm f/1.8 G (full frame variant).
I also use the 300mm pf, 180mm f:2.8D, 20mm f:2.8 D.
Great Camera!! I use it for Wildlife with the Sigma 150-600 Contemporary and the Nikon 70-300 dx. 😃
Nice combination
What is the speed like in auto focus with the camera and the sigma 150-600 lens.
@@davidwatson9124 It's fast enough. But for now i changed to the Nikon 200-500 because of better VR, the Image Quality is also a little bit better and you have 5.6 on each focal length.
Very good review for the D7500 indeed, What lenses did you use with this camera for the pictures you presented ?
Hi, these are the lenses that I used with the D7500:
AF Nikkor 180mm f/2.8D IF-ED
AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.8D
AF MICRO-NIKKOR 55mm f/2.8
AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D
AF-S NIKKOR 24mm f/1.8G ED
AF Nikkor 20mm f/2.8D
AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/4E PF ED VR
Hello, I have had this camera for 7 years and I love it!!!! Since I've used it a lot, it's already very worn out and I've dropped it several times, but it still works. Now in 2024 I want to buy it again, although mirrorless ones are in fashion now, I am in a strong dilemma whether to buy it again or buy a mirrorless one? I think the mirrorless ones are going to continue selling, but the D7500 may be the last chance I have to get it again. But yes this camera, I love how it takes videos and photographs.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I also have a Z50 because of the fact I can mount the great z lenses and f lenses.
I found the color rendering of the z50 more accurate than the d7500.
@@WimBals Hello ! Thank you very much for the advice. I was meditating and came to the conclusion that for now I want to buy the D7500, because DSRL cameras are going to disappear. And anyway, the mirrorless ones are going to continue to be on sale because they are now the new model. And in a few years when Reflex cameras no longer exist, buy the mirrorless one. I'm afraid I'll regret not buying it.
Most forgotten? It could also be the D780... ??? or the second place for the 780? very interesting camera Great video, thanks !
Yes, they could both win the price for 'most forgotten'.
I own and love both
I am using AF-p lens which comes as kit and the photos are amazing . This lens is good for video since it’s silent. It’s 4 years now and still enjoying the camera. Cheap and versatile. Also 300 mm kit lens has 450mm zoom rage which helps to take long distance objects such as zoo animals.
300mm on a crop sensor camera gives a nice range for zoo photography. An additional advantage is of course the low weight of this 70-300mm lens.
when it comes to a single memory card, in the '70s and '80s I did a lot of professional work with 35mm film. A single memory card is just like a single roll of film. The only difference is that you don't have to wait for the processor to return your prints.
Very true!
I’m curious what digital cameras you were using in the 70’s and 80’s. I didn’t know they existed then.
@michaelokeefe6902 he says in the 70s and 80s he used 35mm cameras
I want to upgrade from the D7100. Had a D750 which I did away again because it loved gathering dust on its sensor :-(. And I have been thinking now of the D500 or D7500. But I guess the 7500 will be a good choice.
The D7500 will do the job, unless you need the AF and frames per second of the D500.
The D500 is also a lot bulkier.
I have a Nikon D3100 and it has served me very well. But I am considering upgrading to the D7500 but I am wondering if the 7500 can use the same camera lenses as a D3100.
Yes, no problem!
Many more of us will be crying back for this camera.
Just one question: how can I choose highlight weighted metering? Thank you for a great review!
To choose a metering option, press the magnifying glass 🔍 button and rotate the main command dial until the desired setting is displayed.
Very informative! Thanks! I own a D750 and several quality lenses. Some years ago I sold my D7000 which I was very found of. Now looking for a second camera, which one? I like portrait photography. Are there lenses suitable for a D7500 and D750? I'm afraid that when I buy (second hand) the D7500, I'll have to buy also DX lenses which I don't have. Any suggestions?
You can use your fx lenses on the D7500. Only old manual focus lenses with an AI indexing tab are the problem.
No need to buy dx lenses.
Thinking of upgrading to the D7500 from my D3200
That would be a logical upgrade.
What is a good lens choice besides the AF-S 18-140 that comes w the camera? I like butterfly, flower and nature shots….a true beginner.
Hi Brenda,
Then I think in the first place of a macro lens.
For example:
- Tokina 100mm f/2.8 macro
- Sigma 105mm f/2.8 macro
With these lenses you can beautifully capture insects and flowers.
In addition, you can also use these lenses as a portrait lens.
@@WimBals Thank you so much!
Thank you for this insightful video. I am looking to purchase a D7500 in April of 2024 to use for shooting reference for my illustrations (primarily dogs and cars for now) and then to digitize the final, 24"x36" or larger color pencil drawings to use as final art for commercial offset, 4 color printing. My question: is the D7500 still a good camera for this work in 2024? my budget is only $1,500. US so it fits perfectly within it. Thank you for sharing your incredible work and knowledge. I look forward to your response.
Thanks 😊, I think the Nikon Z50 Mirrorless Camera with 16-50mm and 50-250mm Lenses fits your budget and is the better choice in 2024.
@@WimBals Thank you! Have you used the Z50 to shoot your paintings? I just want to make sure that it will connect with studio lighting as the D7500 does.
No problem here with constant light via softboxes. The colors are even better than the D7500.
Especially the combination with the 50-250mm is stellar.
@@WimBals THANK YOU! I am taking your recommendation and will purchase the Z50. I have done a lot of research on the best way to digitize my drawings from flatbed scanners to digital cameras and it was this video that convinced me that this was the way to go. I am so glad that I reached out to you because I was ready to take your original advice and get the D7500. again, THANK YOU!!!!
I moved from D40 to D7500... fantastic...
Great move!
currently looking for one to upgrade from a d5200, looks to have a lot better function buttons than the d5200.
For sure, the d7500 has got more buttons and way better ergonomics.
I had the Nikon D5200, and upgraded to the D7500. I obviously use the same lenses with it, and when I go back into my photo archives and compare photos from similar environments (photos in my garden of similar time of year and conditions, photos in my house of kids and pets in similar conditions) using the same lens, the d7500 is noticeably of a better quality! I also have the D810, but I find that I use my D7500 far more often...
Excellent review
Thanks 🙏
I’ve had a z50 and z30 I really like the mirror less Nikon. However the lenses are not there yet and the ones they have are expensive. Thinking getting a dslr for the lens choices. I’ve also looked at the d610 however I really like that 20mp sensor
The D610 would have suffered quite a bit from oil stains on the sensor. Maybe something to keep in mind.
I think the D7500 is a wonderful camera with a very good grip.
And with which you can almost choose from the entire f-mount lens collection.
@@WimBals I think that d7500 is a hood choice too most excited about that 10-20mm which is inexpensive for DX
I'm thinking about buy a d750 or a 7500. I already have 2 prime lenses and 2 DX, but i still can't decide which one I buy
Depends, the d750 has 2 card slots, better dynamic range and low light performance.
I never forget it when I leave the house!
You are smart guy Joshua. 😉
Hi, Just a quick question. If you want to go lighter why not consider D600 or D610 (full frame)?
Hi, with an aps-c camera you have the advantage of the crop factor. That way I can take shorter lenses with me so that it saves weight.
The extra depth of field in these cameras is also important to me.
Goede review van de D7500. Zelf heb ik in bezit de Nikon D7100 en wilde een tijdje geleden upgraden naar de D7200, en dat is slechts 1 stap. Is een upgrade naar de D7500 een nog betere stap? Persoonlijk ben ik een liefhebber van een DSLR en voorlopig nog geen Nikon systeemcamera voor mij.
De D7500 presteert beter bij hogere ISO-waarden dan de D7200. Voorts is er ook nog het kantelbaar scherm dat heel handig is. Er is ook nog Group-AF, 5% lichter in gewicht, beter bestand tegen weersomstandigheden, betere belichtingssensor, en filmen in 4K ten opzichte van de D7200.
Komende van een D7000 of D7100 zou ik de D7200 overslaan en voor de D7500 gaan.
denk er net zo over 🙂
I'm pretty happy with my D7500
It is a great camera.
I am having z6ii Nikon. I love bird photography. Z6ii autofocus performance especially for bird in flight not up to the mark. I own 200 500 f5.6 lens too. If I go for d7500 camera will it meet my choice of photography needs.
Then I would choose the D500 for AF.
@@WimBals but unfortunately the d500 discontinued production and now that only d7500 available to buy
That’s right, but you can try a used D500 with warranty if that is an option.
The AF of the D7500 is good but not at the same league of the D500.
Did follow you and watch your video because im about to buy the d7500 to shoot landscapes and portraits day and night at 1000 euro and 1000 for lens and 2 batteries with 2 cards to change in 1 slot and shooting in new and jpg instead raw its not a problem for me because ill shoot natural photos without the need of change something from lr or other outstanding camera i saw from near on what it can do and what we can accomplish now in the year 2024 its value for money
It's a great camera that you can still buy new.
@WimBals Totally agree my friend and thank you for your review
Great review! :)
I assume all the lenses I use on my D3400 will be compatible with D7500?
Thanks! Yes, the lenses will work on the D7500. Even af-d lenses.
I'm looking to upgrade from my D3200. I've Studied photography and I use a d3400 at my current job. I'd say I'm intermediate in terms of skill, would this be a good option for me to upgrade to, mostly for fashion shots, Jewellery shots, portraits etc, weddings etc ?
In just about every way, this would be an upgrade for you.
I am thinking of, for example, autofocus, tilting screen, viewfinder, dynamic range, low light capabilities, ergonomics of the camera, frames per second, battery life...
@@WimBals thank you so much! It so hard knowing what to upgrade to but this video helped alot
Good luck!
I'm getting into photogrametry. Would this be a good camera for it?
You need 12mp or more so you're fine with the D7500.
when shooting a video, how is the stabilization? Thank you
I use this camera mainly for stills. There is a video out there on UA-cam where you can see this stabilization in action. Search for ‘Nikon D7500 Image Stabilization Test - Focal length 140mm’.
Cheers Wim
I have Nikon d 7500. Can you recommend some lenses suitable for her? Thank you
35mm 1.8 dx, 70-300mm dx, 18-140mm dx, 10-20mm dx.
These are all great and not to expensive lenses.
@@WimBals Thank you very much for informations
Do u think I should go back to D7500 ...I have a sony a7iv?
You can set your Sony to crop mode and see if you like that more than full frame.
D7500 or z50? I would like to upgrade my d5100😉
Go for the Z50.
I am thinking about purchasing one of these cameras for birding...I have zero skills with cameras....any thoughts... Tia
With this camera and a good lens (200-500mm or 150-600mm) you have plenty of opportunities to photograph birds well.
It will mainly be a matter of practicing a lot to get to know your camera and train your technique.
Cheers
Wim
Wim, do you think the D7500 is elderly compared to the Z series of cameras, or does it hold up just fine against them? Never mind video, I mean just for photography.
I have a z30 and z50 too.
The benefits of the z-cameras is that you can use z-glass.
I would choose a z-camera.
@@WimBals So, the Z glass really is better/sharper than the DX lenses? One reason I am looking at a Z camera is to be able to use my three DX lenses, one of which is a fairly sharp 35mm prime. But, the DX lenses are noticeably better than this? This leaves me pondering. The cost of replacing that glass is still a consideration, though.
I also used my 'old' f-mount glass with an FTZ adapter.
The problem is that with this extra adapter extra length is added to the lens and is therefore no longer in balance with the light z-bodies.
The newly developed lenses are significantly improved in terms of chromatic and longitudinal aberration, distortion, colors and sharpness.
I am currently working on making a video about the 24mm f/1.7 DX z-lens. A fantastic light and cheap lens that easily beat the 35mm f/1.8 FX on a full frame (D610).
I also have a review on my channel of the 50-250mm lens.
In addition to Nikon glass there are also other manufacturers that release new lenses for Z cameras such as viltrox and Sigma.
Can someone like me who is looking for first camera to buy in 2023, Can I choose DSLR/mirrorless?
If you only do photography then dslr is a cheaper choice.
If you were also considering video, then mirrorless is the best choice.
Good evening and happy new year. Can you tell me please..... Before 1.5 year, I found d7200 whith 9000 click and I buy 600€.. It worths upgrade at d7500 new??? Thanks a lot
Happy New Year to you too. If I had a D7200 I would stick with the D7200 and not upgrade to the D7500.
@WimBals thanks again. I tell you again. You are the only person that answers our questions and thanks for that
👍
@@WimBals can I ask you another question?
@WimBals what lens it's better from my d7200. I have a sigma 17 50 2.8(perfect) but I have a problem whith this lens. Battery finished quickly. I have a 35 1.8, a 70 300 afp fx(fantastic lens) and I thing buying a nikon 18 140 for all around. If you can, tell me your opinion
Secondo te il sistema af d7500 è realmente piu veloce della D810 ?
I personally find the D7500 faster in terms of AF than the D810. The D810 is more of a studio, portrait and landscape camera. While the D7500 reacts a little quicker when shooting action.
@@WimBals Ho avuto la 810 ma dopo un anno l'ho dovuta vendere perchè inadatta a foto di azione ho preso una d4 usata e la situzione è miglorata incredibilmente, anche se ha la metà dei pixel i file D4 sono leggeri estremamente nitidi anche dovuto alla precisione af, sto usando anche la D750 che è un po' inferiore alla D4 anche i colori sono diversi , preferisco sempre la D4. Mi serve una aps-c per aumentare la focale e credo che la 7500 sia meglio della d7200 in af WB iso etc pero' manca il secondo slot e battery grip ....
I myself have never had a problem without a second card slot.
But if you still want that, and a battery grip, then I would look out for a D500. The AF is comparable to the D5.
Nikon should have kept the two sd card slots like in the Nikon D7300
You are meaning the D7200. Actually I don’t miss it.
Should i buy this in 2024?
It is still a great camera, but so is the z50.
Price please ???
The price of a d7500 body new is around $ 1000.
The D7500 isn't forgotten because of mirrorless. It's forgotten because it brought nothing special. It was just a scaled down D500 in a body that was introduced in the D7000. If the D7000 had a better AF system, the D7100 & D7200 would have been just as forgotten. It just shows that the changes have all been hyped by manufacturers to sell sell sell. And they'll do it all over again in mirrorless format, releasing the next best thing, making empty promises
The D7500 is actually a mixture of elements from the D500, D7200 and D5600.
Nikon should have named this device a 'D6500'. After all, the step up from the D7200 is the D500.
That does not mean that the D7500 isn’t a very good camera with which amazing results can be achieved.
For example, the faster fps and the tiltable screen are an improvement over the D7200, which are important to me.
Of course Nikon is a company that needs to make a profit, as a customer it is important not to fall for the trap of 'everything new is better'.
That is why I sometimes use a D610 with which surprisingly good results can still be achieved.
Forgotten? …still selling well!
Forgotten by UA-cam influencers, embraced by photographers 😉
Love this camera I upgraded from a D3500 and its compatible for all my lenses an all rounder indeed and yes i agree it makes the D3500 feel like a toy.
Thanks for letting us know.
You didn't specifically call out the built-in focus motor which makes using older lenses possible.
I know.
It has no such motor... No metering for the older lenses. The d7100 and 7200 had it but nikon decided against it in the d7500. Bad call...
