Jared Polin I love your videos. I think you should make a review on the canon 24 105 because most people will look to buy the 24 to 105 f4 l as their first l lens.
Jared I’ve had this camera fir about 8 months and love it Honestly yes it has one SD card slot ...PTFFF I carry a spare ..Ive never had a card fail in 10 years You have to remember this camera was $800 cheaper than the d500 ...that’s two lenses or one top quality one
Jared really is amazing. He is such a pro. He is there to share his passion for photography while helping less experienced or curious photographers. He tells it like it is. He doesn't use fanboy tactics. He doesn't just preach more money newer equipment. He really does a great job on all of his videos. Good job Jared! Keep up the great work. Thanks for all you do.
@@ErikRyde yes. On manual mode. When I turn the shutter speed dial or aperture dial the live view exposure does not change accordingly. I.e. I’m not getting an accurate live view of what the photo will look like It only seems to change when I put it on aperture priority.

There`s a lot of PROS that say this camera is not that good, but the only one honest enough to actually shoot with it and be 100% precise, is you. big RESPECT, lot of other people killing Nikon with Ultra Biased reviews to favor other camera makers. I found you because of all the others talking untested crap, I kept digging for the gold, found it here. For someone that needs good stills and also video, this seems to work. When you want to feel like a PRO, you do not use auto focus, unless you are shooting sports or something like it ( I`ll never do that, no need to ).
Totally agree with you the only reviews that actually matter are the ones where the camera is used in real world instances. Someone like Tony & Chelsea sitting there all smug telling you Ahhhhh Yea it stinks. Lol. This review and the one from Steve Perry are really the only 2 I show people that may be interested in this body! Good job Jared!
I have one question(clearly I am not a PRO and I wonder) - I like to hear that Pros use manual focus and don't autofocus and so on, it makes me wanna reach that level. In Live View on a tripod for landscape - fine. But on weddings, events, etc. - you have one tiny viewfinder, where you should decide if your bride is tack sharp and snap a shot. And when I usually do that - the shot is ruined(blurred) - Why would I not trust the technology, which is way faster, way precise than my eye? I really wonder if Professionals are ACTUALLY manual focusing dynamic events and moving people? Thanks in advance!
Jeep Joseph because he is a fucking Idiot! I can’t even believe people watch that channel. After the whole Steve McCurry video he made I totally lost any and all respect for him and Chelsea. Blocked them on everything so they never show up!
I tend to listen from many photographers and/or kit reviewers about the drawbacks of bumping up the ISO in cases where not so "fast" lenses are available. While this is true (of course losing light due to aperture needs to be balanced from the ISO - for the moment I leave the shutter speed away), I never hear anyone talking about the specs of a picture taken by a let's say F/1.4. Let me explain, assuming that I have a lens with a F/1.4 aperture capability. In low light, I can use this F/1.4 in order to get more light, but technically the photo I will capture is something completely different to a setting of let's say F/11. So, my question is in cases that for technical reasons we need high apertures (all lenses offer F/11-F/16-F/22 settings for example), why fast and expensive lenses are considered better? (I am not talking image quality, sharpness etc - only light capabilities) I am an amateur photographer and I would really appreciate your comments since currently I would never consider taking a wide angle photo in a stadium like the situation presented by Jared with F/1.2-F/1.4 etc even if I had the lenses to support that.
bumping up the iso might make the picture not as sharp, so the wider aperture have more opportunity to use base iso, even in low light situation. and of course, bokeh.
I think yourl ast point is very important... if you get your exposure (and framing) correct, shooting at high ISOs can be a non-issue with many cameras. Most of the noise I see from people's images is when their exposure is off by more than about 1/2 or 1 stop and/or they framed incorrectly (mostly, they didn't fill the frame enough) and they have to crop. I used to not like to shoot beyond 3200 but with more modern cameras (ones made in the last 5-6 years) you can and get good results, IF your exposure is almost correct and you have to do little in post in terms of adjustment of exposure. Well, the two things Nikon screwed up is no aftermarket grip. There is one from Vello that might work (But has just a shutter button, no dials for focus or controlling SS/aperture, but not a big deal if you set your exposure--however it can be a problem because you can't move the focus point from the grip). And the fact Nikon did NOT use a UHS-II card. I can see they wanted to remove the second card to differentiate this more from the D500, fine, but they could have at least given people a faster card so that during bursts, you don't risk slowing down the camera and having to wait for images to be written to the card (UHS-II is about 300 Mb/s versus about 100 MB/s for UHS-I, which can be a big deal if you do a lot of burst shooting / long bursts).
Nico Tipp to format your card: Press an hold the delete + ISO Button and then decide which card you want to format an press those two buttons again. Works perfect on my D500!
new subscriber here. i have always been fascinated with weather. i really like wildlife as well. our backyard is like a 900 acer soy/corn field. their is always very pretty birds and deer. been looking for a camera but man the rabbit hole is deep with a ton of camera options and reviews. it was kinda hard to get pointed in the right direction i felt like. our local camera shop is dealing with a pretty big shortage and said for me to came back around the middle of May they should have more stock available around then. best buy was slim picking as well. both places only had really high end cameras available at around $1800 and up. i gave myself a $1000 budget and ended up deciding on the Nikon d7500 with lens kit. i im happy to get up and going and hope she serves me well. a few fields over we have a piebald deer that has been wondering around. its over 90% white and hope to get a picture or pictures of it. its the only piebald deer i have ever seen.
Have you ever noticed the idea that, a high iso image with good brightness show less noise than a medium iso image with lower light in the shot? i have pictures that are 6400 (from a sony a7 camera) that is cleaner than some pictures taken at 3200. it happens that the place was just brighter
I've had this camera for a couple weeks and love it. The only big issue I have with this camera is that it doesn't have a depth of field preview button. I'm going to have to use live view as a depth of field preview, not ideal.
Hi, i would like to buy this camera, bit I can't find examples of it autofocus in real low light situations, like weddings, night partys shoots.. Have you ever shoot in that situations? Sorry for my English.
The D7500 is one of the Best Nikon DX you can have. I never had a card failure so the second slot doesn't bother me. Also I never use a Battery grip and Old manual lenses.
I go with 6400 on my D7200 and it's fine. I'd imagine this camera could easily do 8000 with adequate exposure. I'm still on the fence of getting another D7200 or going to a D7500.
Hello Jared! I'm a little new to your videos and I can see I'm four years late. I have a unique question for you, buckleup. I just upgraded to the Nikon D7500, from a Nikon D3200. Reason being as the D3200 was really struggling with an overcast day when shooting at an outdoor event, and I really wanted better quality photos for people to buy. The Nikon D3200 had an auto sports mode which I utlized, but controlled the ISO (because anything over 800 gave me noticeable noise...outside on a cloudy day.) I chose to shoot auto due to the fact I photographed horses, and as they were moving around they moved between shadows and light, sometimes the poles they were jumping were white, sometimes they were black, sometimes the horse was white, and sometimes the horse was black. It was just easier than having to constantly change settings every two seconds. Now with the D7500, I have to shoot manual. I'm wondering your best attack with constantly shifting exposure needs? Thank you!
Hi Jared, thanks for this real-world review of the D7500. Since this body has only one slot for storing the images, is there a way to wirelessly backup the images to an external hard drive?
It will either lengthen your shutterspeed or increase the f stop (if possible} or both depending on which setting (A, S or P) you are in. When in auto ISO it will only increase ISO.
I have this camera. I heard you say the thing about changing a setting that made it only snap the photo when its in focus. Where is this setting? I would rather have this for certain shoots than the full 8fps. I do like the 8fps for when really shooting fast action
Hello Jared, I wanna get your opinion in which camera to get. This camera or the D7200, I want to start doing landscape, Architectural photography and interior also. I know it's a crop sensor camera, but I only can count with a $1200. Which one you will recommend? or maybe another brand? Thank you in advance. Walter.
@@notme1998 need to save a little bit more for that one, I ended up buying the D7200 and no a couple lenses. Thinking in using the same lenses with the D850, that's my goal. Thank you for the advice.
I'm expecting my D7500 tomorrow! The one question not answered is whether you can have RAW and JPEG saved at the same time like the D3300. . . ? Oh, thanks for doing this review using "average" lenses and not just pro series lenses!
I just bought this camera. I had the D 60 before and didn’t use it very much. I will be using this to photograph things up close but I think I will also explore taking outside photos. I signed up for your program. You make learning fun. Thanks dude.
Hey Jared love the vids keep ‘em coming helps a lot was wondering if you could help me out and possibly recommend a lense for my d7500 I’m looking to use it for self film hunting and don’t want a huge lense but can still reach out !!
Its a great camera. However, I wouldn't buy a d7500 for what you are doing. Look at the d800e if you know enough about what you are doing (very hard to use and one of the best dslrs on earth) or buy a d610 or d600
At about the 15-mark, with Billy Jean King, you talk about the problem I consistently run up against - high noise with this camera when zoomed out on my Tamron 70-200 zoom lens. You state that it's not the camera's fault, but the choice of lens ... what lens might you recommend in a lower light setting, say, with indoor sports, where high noise/graininess becomes a constant issue? If it's not this camera's fault, how do we fix it?
Hi Jared, if I only shoot tennis, do I need a camera with fast continuous af? I personally found single af to be pretty alright because tennis players set up their position to line up the shot and then 70% of the time move side to side . I recently upgraded from my d5000 to a z5 but ironically it’s a much heavier setup and also there’s no way I can smuggle full frame telephoto glass into the audience 😂
Hi, I just subscribed to your channel and bought a new D7500 body off the internet, the plan is to take it on a 6week cross alpes hike and my question is would you say a Tamron 24-70 G2 is a good lense for a alpe hiking trip? and also which two lenses would you have chosen if you were in my shoes and on a budget? Tx !
Is there any difference between image quality in comparison to d500, since sensor is the same, is that any difference in low light performance as well,
Hey my brother! "FRO KNOWS PHOTOOOO!"...Love that! I have a question about my D7500. Doing a shoot, what is GOING ON when in the middle of my shoot, after pressing down halfway.. in focus.. then press down, it won't take a PIC!!?? It shows that I'm in focus, but nothing happens. I turn off the camera, reset to start shooting again. HELP!!
Hii Dear sir, my self Prasenjit and I'm from India. Sir i want to buy nikon dslr for wedding photography.. So which camera are best? Nikon D7200 or D7500
jit dey Get the D7200. The new features on the D7500 wouldn’t be all that beneficial for wedding photography, and you definitely want the 2 card slots that the D7200 provides.
Thank you for the sample raw files. Ok got this camera when it first came out, and was totally afraid to bump the iso (I upgraded from the D90 when I bought it a decade ago). Iso never bothered me because I did still life inside. But now that I'm taking photos of my friends, I noticed they're blurry because I didn't bump the iso to get the right shutter speed. Thanks for go in me confidence, man!
Canon still leads the pack when it comes to AF tracking. The 80D has 45 AF points, and all of them a cross type AF points. Furthermore, the 80D has 27 AF points that focus down to f/8. This same focus system is found in the full frame 6D Mark II.
right. Nikon's autofocus is still very good in practice. Even the D5600 impressed me considering its class, and the D7500 is a camera for autofocus fetishists. Canon of course has competitive cameras as well.
Awesome review as always. Not having a grip is probably not a big deal to most if they have never used a grip. I recently purchased one for my d7200 and man, It is so comfy in any position and battery life for days. 2 card slots is probably not a big deal until you have $1000 worth of images on that one single card as you drive home from the shoot. Scary feeling, I've done it once. I cave dive and the saying in that sport is 2 is 1, and 1 is none. Otherwise, great camera.
How do you think you would have done with the D7200? How much better is the AF and subject tracking in the D7500? How would the images compare at ISO 10k?
I have a d3400 and it works great I wanted to buy a d7500 or d750 but I think maybe I need just better lenses. How can I share a couple of pictures with you? Thanks
Hey Jared I never receive the "11 days" I give you my email and I don't know it is cause I from Mexico but I will appreciate if can send me the guide. Pd: Great job with the review!!
thats actually a positive for me. I do most of my photography when i go on hikes and having a light body is a real positive. Not to mention being able to pack light when traveling on planes. I am really excited that Nikon seems to be going that direction as well, creating lightweight cameras and lenses especially with their mirrorless bodies and lenses. I am really torn about trading the d7500 in for a z6 or z7 but i also want the 500mm f4 pf (which is another lightweight zoom). If i get the z7 and the 500mm it would be setting aside 7-8k :( But if I don't do the trade for the mirrorless by tomorrow, the trade in deal will expire. :( dilemma
@@hwattever Did you end up springing for one of the Zs? If so, do you miss the D7500 and what are your thoughts on the Z? I'm thinking of trading my 7500 in for a Z6 but am a bit nervous about making the jump.
@@DanelleFCG i actually decided to wait a couple of months and finally got the sony a7r iv for my three months trip in south america. i can say i definitely enjoyed the camera. The 61mp is above and beyond what the d7500 can do and if you are ready to go the next step in your photography hobby/career, definitely do it. i don't miss the d7500 one bit.
Well...I was going to buy a D5600...but they are apparently impossible to get now...so...I guess I'm going to pick up one of these. "But Mirrorless!" Yeah, tell that to my modest collection of F mount glass. I don't shoot nearly enough, so switching over the whole system wouldn't make sense in my case.
I would rather suggest to buy the body singularly and then get a 17-55 used which it is found at the same price (or even less) that 16-80 but it returns a much better IMG quality really. If your main concern is just travel phototography and not landscapes (moisture, water, dust) or fine portraits, the 16-80 is lighter and best choice probably.
How does the D7500 compare to Z 6 in term of AF-C? I currently have the D7500 but would like to make the jump to mirrorless for EVF but I don't want to lose the AF-C autofocus ability of the D7500. Thanks.
Yes, it is usually an inexpensive lens to get you started. I myself started on digital photography 11 years ago, spending most of my budget on a 18-200mm non-kit zoom lens - perfect for traveling, and less money on a bare Nikon D60 body. No upgrades for 11 years, except a fixed 35mm f/1.8 for portraits and candlelit scenarios. Two weeks ago though, I figured out it was time to upgrade to the D7500 body (without any kit lens) as the price where I live, dropped to the equivalent of USD 900. No need for a kit lens, as my old 18-200mm is still my single choice for traveling.
Still recommend this camera as of July 2019? Seems like deals are decent right now for body and upgraded lenses. Its stretching my budget some but ifs its that much better than say 5600 I can make it work. Or is there anything out (other brands) or coming out soon that I should be looking at? Thanks, love the content.
@@ddeepp make sure you have the vr version of the 70-300! It is still a great buy the d7500 nowadays even more because of the price dropping to less than 1000 for the body. Image quality will be same as d5600 being perfect. But faster af, more shots/sec and better video. Better handling also.
As a former D5600 owner, I can assure all of you that the D7500 blows it out of the water. I’ve owned Nikon DX models for 10 years, and this is hands down the best model I’ve ever owned. I shoot as an advanced hobby, as well as a side business to accompany my primary career. All of the complaints about this camera (no dual card a slots, lack of battery grip, no AI- index tab, etc) are all irrelevant to me. I own 5 great lenses, and combined with this camera, they produce stunning results. Most of the people who bash on this camera are D7200 owners who’ve never taken a single shot with this model. I’ve yet to meet another D7500 who isn’t completely satisfied with this model. Do yourself a favor and buy it while it’s currently on sale. Amazing camera...
Hey Polin! Could you describe me what is weather sealed? The Nikon never mention any weather test on D7500 although they mention about D500 it has dust and water-drop resistance.
I have a D7500. You talked about the ISO, but what about the shutter speed? What setting do you use on the twisty button. Do you put it on the M, A, S or the P? I’m a beginner on using manual. I have tried it here and there, but it so easy to use the Automatic setting. I need to stop that. Help.
Oh, I did not know that. So sad that you lost your mother to cancer, that really SUCKS. One thing I have learned over time is that you never know when and where it all will END. So people should try and live their lives in a way that they are satisfied with. Go back and fix things if possible so you do not regret them later in life etc. BTW I think Jareds hair is great and I wish he would include some more vlogging style videos when going places. Perhaps get a dashcam, use drone footage etc. I know TCSTV do some of these videos here and there, nice with a mix of videos than just all out review videos. Thanks for another great video.
Two questions: 1. What do you think about the ISO capabilities of the D7500 compared to the D7200? 2. Sonner or later I plan to upgrade my D5300 to a D7500 or D7200. But I got some "trouble" to choose one of those. I wanna upgrade especially in terms of ISO capabilities, AF (in low light), better handling and some other points. Could you give me some thoughts about this?
Hello Jared, There is a very good reason the this camera dose not have an extra SD card slot or battery grip and one or two other thins at that is it WOULD by a D500 if you are desperate for those thing get the D500 but if your budget is less this will be an amazing way into Nikon or a big step up from an entry level camera. Great review keep up the good work.
Sir, do you use lightroom to convert your raw photos to jpeg? Can I use lightroom for making time lapse video? If yes please tell me how to make that video.
Depends on what are you plan to shoot with the camera. I'd pick the nikon 16-85 as a standard zoom, and a good fast prime, like the 35, or 50mm 1.8 as a starting point. The 18-140 kit lens isn't bad either, but I haven't tried it yet.
I see a lot of people on the Internet maligning the D7500. Personally, I think it's an awesome camera and that Nikon got only one thing wrong with it: the name. Everyone expected it to be a straight upgrade from the D7200, both in terms of features and intended use, so when it turned out to be different and it lacked some of the key features of the D7200, lots of folks got pissed off about that while ignoring the fact that it's still a great camera. Don't look at the name. Look at the camera. Think of it as a D6XXX series camera: a big step up from a D5XXX camera with some of the features of the D7XXX lineup.
That's exactly the point, a branding blunder by Nikon. The camera is great all around but Nikon should have gone for other names like the d6xxx as you have suggested. Since d7500 implies a major step up from the d7200, people's expectations are pretty high. I am seriously considering this as an alternative to a6300 for the 4k vid. Only thing holding me back from switching to sony is that all of my glass are f mount and most of them are fx ones, since my original plan is to go fx on nikon, just didn't have the funds yet.
I agree its a great camera, but why would you call a camera that is more like the D500 and technically better than the 7200 a D6xxx?, that would surely be the wrong name for it?
Not that they got the name wrong you can just see what they are doing. 3xxx series basic entry level. 5xxx upgraded beginner and now 7xxx series are more advance and for hobbyist and Enthusiasts. The D500 is more the professional crop sensor. Then you have your full frames. If the D7500 had the 2 slots grip and AI support then why in hell would anyone buy the D500? For the focus system and 2 more FPS? Totally not worth the $700 in cost difference. Only thing I really think is dumb is the support for grip especially since they are something they can sell and make money on. I personally don’t use a grip but the extra battery life would be nice if I really needed.
I assume ot better than my Nikon d3200 that I had forever. Thinking on upgrading to this cause it cost less than $800 on Amazon if you just get the body. (all I need anyway cause I got rest of the gear already) I need to change camera soon as my d3200 is starting to chug at the load I give it. Focus becomes slower, and can no longer be cleaned 100% do to internal filth. This looks like a camera that can do it all for a low price.
Anick - The D7500 is leaps and bounds ahead of the D3200. I owned the D3100, D5100 and D5600 before upgrading to this incredible model. 100% worth it. I recommend (and own) the following lenses with this model: Sigma 17-70mm contemporary, Nikon 35mm 1.8, 50mm 1.8, Sigma 10-20mm and Nikon 70-300mm AF-P VR. That’s all you need to cover everything required to capture amazing pictures.
Seems like a good all rounder. D500 for sports, D7200 for landscapes etc... but I’d choose this if I wanted to become a paid photographer, seems like it could do most jobs.
What should we "Real World Review" next?
Jared Polin D7200 and 77D
Jared Polin please do 80d again.
77d
Well maybe the entry level 200D from Canon... or the Sony RX10 mark IV. I'd like D850 vs A7RII vs D810 vs 5DSR comparison.
Jared Polin I love your videos. I think you should make a review on the canon 24 105 because most people will look to buy the 24 to 105 f4 l as their first l lens.
I use this camera for wildlife photography.... Its excellent
Jared I’ve had this camera fir about 8 months and love it
Honestly yes it has one SD card slot ...PTFFF I carry a spare ..Ive never had a card fail in 10 years

I am an amateur photographer and I would really appreciate your comments since currently I would never consider taking a wide angle photo in a stadium like the situation presented by Jared with F/1.2-F/1.4 etc even if I had the lenses to support that.
bumping up the iso might make the picture not as sharp, so the wider aperture have more opportunity to use base iso, even in low light situation. and of course, bokeh.
Bro you got cameras on cameras
Awesome real-world review Jared. Just what I was looking for!! Keep 'em coming.
I think yourl ast point is very important... if you get your exposure (and framing) correct, shooting at high ISOs can be a non-issue with many cameras. Most of the noise I see from people's images is when their exposure is off by more than about 1/2 or 1 stop and/or they framed incorrectly (mostly, they didn't fill the frame enough) and they have to crop. I used to not like to shoot beyond 3200 but with more modern cameras (ones made in the last 5-6 years) you can and get good results, IF your exposure is almost correct and you have to do little in post in terms of adjustment of exposure.
Well, the two things Nikon screwed up is no aftermarket grip. There is one from Vello that might work (But has just a shutter button, no dials for focus or controlling SS/aperture, but not a big deal if you set your exposure--however it can be a problem because you can't move the focus point from the grip). And the fact Nikon did NOT use a UHS-II card. I can see they wanted to remove the second card to differentiate this more from the D500, fine, but they could have at least given people a faster card so that during bursts, you don't risk slowing down the camera and having to wait for images to be written to the card (UHS-II is about 300 Mb/s versus about 100 MB/s for UHS-I, which can be a big deal if you do a lot of burst shooting / long bursts).
Nico Tipp to format your card:
Press an hold the delete + ISO Button and then decide which card you want to format an press those two buttons again.
Works perfect on my D500!
Great video Jared, you make one of the most useful camera reviews on the internet, not only for this particular camera but also for the other reviews
NIKON SQUAD BOIIIS
Pavel Oconnor Canon squad here
you are welcome bro
new subscriber here. i have always been fascinated with weather. i really like wildlife as well. our backyard is like a 900 acer soy/corn field. their is always very pretty birds and deer. been looking for a camera but man the rabbit hole is deep with a ton of camera options and reviews. it was kinda hard to get pointed in the right direction i felt like. our local camera shop is dealing with a pretty big shortage and said for me to came back around the middle of May they should have more stock available around then. best buy was slim picking as well. both places only had really high end cameras available at around $1800 and up. i gave myself a $1000 budget and ended up deciding on the Nikon d7500 with lens kit. i im happy to get up and going and hope she serves me well. a few fields over we have a piebald deer that has been wondering around. its over 90% white and hope to get a picture or pictures of it. its the only piebald deer i have ever seen.
Hey man great video how did you connect you GoPro with the camera .give five star
Have you ever noticed the idea that, a high iso image with good brightness show less noise than a medium iso image with lower light in the shot? i have pictures that are 6400 (from a sony a7 camera) that is cleaner than some pictures taken at 3200. it happens that the place was just brighter
indeed, I dont know the mechanic behind it, but I ve noticed that too.
I've had this camera for a couple weeks and love it. The only big issue I have with this camera is that it doesn't have a depth of field preview button. I'm going to have to use live view as a depth of field preview, not ideal.
Hi, i would like to buy this camera, bit I can't find examples of it autofocus in real low light situations, like weddings, night
partys shoots.. Have you ever shoot in that situations? Sorry for my English.
The D7500 is one of the Best Nikon DX you can have. I never had a card failure so the second slot doesn't bother me. Also I never use a Battery grip and Old manual lenses.
What focus mode are you using
for wedding shoot with nikon d7500 with 50mm lens show the vedio settings of camera for better shoot
One love man. We appreciate your videos
I go with 6400 on my D7200 and it's fine. I'd imagine this camera could easily do 8000 with adequate exposure. I'm still on the fence of getting another D7200 or going to a D7500.
I do 6400 on my d3500 and it's fine
Time: 1:36 ---- Why bump up iso on 18-400 of a person sitting still? Why not lengthen the time shutter is open ?
Hello Jared! I'm a little new to your videos and I can see I'm four years late.
I have a unique question for you, buckleup.
I just upgraded to the Nikon D7500, from a Nikon D3200. Reason being as the D3200 was really struggling with an overcast day when shooting at an outdoor event, and I really wanted better quality photos for people to buy.
The Nikon D3200 had an auto sports mode which I utlized, but controlled the ISO (because anything over 800 gave me noticeable noise...outside on a cloudy day.)
I chose to shoot auto due to the fact I photographed horses, and as they were moving around they moved between shadows and light, sometimes the poles they were jumping were white, sometimes they were black, sometimes the horse was white, and sometimes the horse was black. It was just easier than having to constantly change settings every two seconds. Now with the D7500, I have to shoot manual. I'm wondering your best attack with constantly shifting exposure needs? Thank you!
The tennis shot of the guy at the far side. What would it have looked like with a Nikon 70-200mm (f/5.6)?
Hi Jared, thanks for this real-world review of the D7500. Since this body has only one slot for storing the images, is there a way to wirelessly backup the images to an external hard drive?
in 5:44 which camera is that dude using
Hey jared great video and great review! Lovin the content keep up the great work my dude :)
hey Jared one basic clarification what if we increase the exposure compensation by 1 or 2 instead of ISO, will that help with kit lens? pls suggest
It will either lengthen your shutterspeed or increase the f stop (if possible} or both depending on which setting (A, S or P) you are in. When in auto ISO it will only increase ISO.
can you plz make same types of video for Nikon d 5600 ?
I’m ordering this camera with the 18-140 lens. What do you think of this combo?
Got it, love it.
Great review Jared. Lots of good advice. Thanks.
I have this camera. I heard you say the thing about changing a setting that made it only snap the photo when its in focus. Where is this setting? I would rather have this for certain shoots than the full 8fps. I do like the 8fps for when really shooting fast action
Great review Jared, thank you so much!
Hello Jared,
I wanna get your opinion in which camera to get. This camera or the D7200, I want to start doing landscape, Architectural photography and interior also. I know it's a crop sensor camera, but I only can count with a $1200. Which one you will recommend? or maybe another brand?
Thank you in advance.
Walter.
maybe a d800
@@notme1998 need to save a little bit more for that one, I ended up buying the D7200 and no a couple lenses. Thinking in using the same lenses with the D850, that's my goal. Thank you for the advice.
do you have a video on that gear vault app so I can see if its worth having on my precious devices.
I'm expecting my D7500 tomorrow! The one question not answered is whether you can have RAW and JPEG saved at the same time like the D3300. . . ? Oh, thanks for doing this review using "average" lenses and not just pro series lenses!
Yes.
The lack of 2 sd card slots was a deal breaker for me as I wanted this camera. Which is a shame as I love the 7xxx series. Picked up a D500.
I just bought this camera. I had the D 60 before and didn’t use it very much. I will be using this to photograph things up close but I think I will also explore taking outside photos. I signed up for your program. You make learning fun. Thanks dude.
Hey Jared love the vids keep ‘em coming helps a lot was wondering if you could help me out and possibly recommend a lense for my d7500 I’m looking to use it for self film hunting and don’t want a huge lense but can still reach out !!
I love all your contents!
what about new users getting a D7500 from costco? they have a kit claiming to be 1500 now 999. my wife wants to do our kid portraits
it's not a bad camera at all. Keep in mind, the most important things are GLASS.
I started 1 year ago witch a Nikon d7100 with the kit lens ......
Hello Sir, Nikon D7500 still a good camera in 2020? (I am just starting and i shoot weddings and portraits)
Its a great camera. However, I wouldn't buy a d7500 for what you are doing. Look at the d800e if you know enough about what you are doing (very hard to use and one of the best dslrs on earth) or buy a d610 or d600
At about the 15-mark, with Billy Jean King, you talk about the problem I consistently run up against - high noise with this camera when zoomed out on my Tamron 70-200 zoom lens. You state that it's not the camera's fault, but the choice of lens ... what lens might you recommend in a lower light setting, say, with indoor sports, where high noise/graininess becomes a constant issue? If it's not this camera's fault, how do we fix it?
Hi Jared, if I only shoot tennis, do I need a camera with fast continuous af? I personally found single af to be pretty alright because tennis players set up their position to line up the shot and then 70% of the time move side to side . I recently upgraded from my d5000 to a z5 but ironically it’s a much heavier setup and also there’s no way I can smuggle full frame telephoto glass into the audience 😂
Hey Jarod, What about buying D7500 in today's market? And what about not buying mirrorless camera. Which one would you suggest?
Please do a video JUST LIKE THIS ONE for the canon eos m50.
Kristine Wissell Why would he do that
Hi, I just subscribed to your channel and bought a new D7500 body off the internet, the plan is to take it on a 6week cross alpes hike and my question is would you say a Tamron 24-70 G2 is a good lense for a alpe hiking trip? and also which two lenses would you have chosen if you were in my shoes and on a budget? Tx !
Is there any difference between image quality in comparison to d500, since sensor is the same, is that any difference in low light performance as well,
Hey my brother! "FRO KNOWS PHOTOOOO!"...Love that! I have a question about my D7500. Doing a shoot, what is GOING ON when in the middle of my shoot, after pressing down halfway.. in focus.. then press down, it won't take a PIC!!?? It shows that I'm in focus, but nothing happens. I turn off the camera, reset to start shooting again. HELP!!

I have a d7000 but wanna upgrade , is it worth it ? Gonna sell the 7000
Hii Dear sir, my self Prasenjit and I'm from India. Sir i want to buy nikon dslr for wedding photography.. So which camera are best? Nikon D7200 or D7500
jit dey Get the D7200. The new features on the D7500 wouldn’t be all that beneficial for wedding photography, and you definitely want the 2 card slots that the D7200 provides.
@@CarrickWebb thanks for your reply... 😊🙂
Hi Jared, just thought I'd say thanks for this very good, well-rounded review.
Thank you for the sample raw files. Ok got this camera when it first came out, and was totally afraid to bump the iso (I upgraded from the D90 when I bought it a decade ago). Iso never bothered me because I did still life inside. But now that I'm taking photos of my friends, I noticed they're blurry because I didn't bump the iso to get the right shutter speed. Thanks for go in me confidence, man!
Canon still leads the pack when it comes to AF tracking. The 80D has 45 AF points, and all of them a cross type AF points. Furthermore, the 80D has 27 AF points that focus down to f/8. This same focus system is found in the full frame 6D Mark II.
right. Nikon's autofocus is still very good in practice. Even the D5600 impressed me considering its class, and the D7500 is a camera for autofocus fetishists. Canon of course has competitive cameras as well.
please do a comparison of the Nikon 7500 with the Canon EOS T6s/ 80D, your opinion would matter.
Settings you used for the sport shota please🙏🏽
Your reviews and tutorials are awasome man ☺☺
Does he know the 2 button format card option?
Awesome review as always.
Not having a grip is probably not a big deal to most if they have never used a grip. I recently purchased one for my d7200 and man, It is so comfy in any position and battery life for days.
2 card slots is probably not a big deal until you have $1000 worth of images on that one single card as you drive home from the shoot. Scary feeling, I've done it once. I cave dive and the saying in that sport is 2 is 1, and 1 is none.
Otherwise, great camera.
That Nikon D7500 is can be shoot high speed sync with external flash?
21 Megapixel is best for print 30 x 50 inches photos?
Sir, please reply to me
Where can I get that attachment for the GoPro?
What are you using on the hot shoe of this 7500 ? is that a go Pro ?
You can buy a vertical grip for this camera at B&H and is made by Vello.
Dont buy it, it's not nikon and won't really help
How do you think you would have done with the D7200? How much better is the AF and subject tracking in the D7500? How would the images compare at ISO 10k?
Better low light perfomance and autofocus in d7500.
Only a true champion can flip the bird while on the return swing.
d7500 dose it work with 24-70 2.8 nikon?i know it s not a full frame body..thks!!
I have a d3400 and it works great I wanted to buy a d7500 or d750 but I think maybe I need just better lenses. How can I share a couple of pictures with you? Thanks
Hey Jared I never receive the "11 days" I give you my email and I don't know it is cause I from Mexico but I will appreciate if can send me the guide.
Pd: Great job with the review!!
So far, the only imperfection i can see on this camera is the weight and there is no In Body Image Stabilization... And i am nitpicking
thats actually a positive for me. I do most of my photography when i go on hikes and having a light body is a real positive. Not to mention being able to pack light when traveling on planes. I am really excited that Nikon seems to be going that direction as well, creating lightweight cameras and lenses especially with their mirrorless bodies and lenses. I am really torn about trading the d7500 in for a z6 or z7 but i also want the 500mm f4 pf (which is another lightweight zoom). If i get the z7 and the 500mm it would be setting aside 7-8k :( But if I don't do the trade for the mirrorless by tomorrow, the trade in deal will expire. :( dilemma
@@hwattever Did you end up springing for one of the Zs? If so, do you miss the D7500 and what are your thoughts on the Z? I'm thinking of trading my 7500 in for a Z6 but am a bit nervous about making the jump.
@@DanelleFCG i actually decided to wait a couple of months and finally got the sony a7r iv for my three months trip in south america. i can say i definitely enjoyed the camera. The 61mp is above and beyond what the d7500 can do and if you are ready to go the next step in your photography hobby/career, definitely do it. i don't miss the d7500 one bit.
Where can I get that shirt brodie?
Well...I was going to buy a D5600...but they are apparently impossible to get now...so...I guess I'm going to pick up one of these. "But Mirrorless!" Yeah, tell that to my modest collection of F mount glass. I don't shoot nearly enough, so switching over the whole system wouldn't make sense in my case.
Nothing to say about the 16-80mm f/2.8-4? It is kit on this camera. It looks like such an interesting lens but there are very few vids about it around
I would rather suggest to buy the body singularly and then get a 17-55 used which it is found at the same price (or even less) that 16-80 but it returns a much better IMG quality really. If your main concern is just travel phototography and not landscapes (moisture, water, dust) or fine portraits, the 16-80 is lighter and best choice probably.
How does the D7500 compare to Z 6 in term of AF-C? I currently have the D7500 but would like to make the jump to mirrorless for EVF but I don't want to lose the AF-C autofocus ability of the D7500. Thanks.
Hello man, how is the AF in low light situations like in a weding in the night
kit lenses means the ones that come in a box with the camera?
Yes, it is usually an inexpensive lens to get you started. I myself started on digital photography 11 years ago, spending most of my budget on a 18-200mm non-kit zoom lens - perfect for traveling, and less money on a bare Nikon D60 body. No upgrades for 11 years, except a fixed 35mm f/1.8 for portraits and candlelit scenarios.
Two weeks ago though, I figured out it was time to upgrade to the D7500 body (without any kit lens) as the price where I live, dropped to the equivalent of USD 900. No need for a kit lens, as my old 18-200mm is still my single choice for traveling.
Still recommend this camera as of July 2019? Seems like deals are decent right now for body and upgraded lenses. Its stretching my budget some but ifs its that much better than say 5600 I can make it work. Or is there anything out (other brands) or coming out soon that I should be looking at? Thanks, love the content.
Im wondering the same thing. Found at 1250 at BestBuy with the 70-300 lenses
@@ddeepp make sure you have the vr version of the 70-300! It is still a great buy the d7500 nowadays even more because of the price dropping to less than 1000 for the body. Image quality will be same as d5600 being perfect. But faster af, more shots/sec and better video. Better handling also.
As a former D5600 owner, I can assure all of you that the D7500 blows it out of the water. I’ve owned Nikon DX models for 10 years, and this is hands down the best model I’ve ever owned. I shoot as an advanced hobby, as well as a side business to accompany my primary career. All of the complaints about this camera (no dual card a slots, lack of battery grip, no AI- index tab, etc) are all irrelevant to me. I own 5 great lenses, and combined with this camera, they produce stunning results. Most of the people who bash on this camera are D7200 owners who’ve never taken a single shot with this model. I’ve yet to meet another D7500 who isn’t completely satisfied with this model. Do yourself a favor and buy it while it’s currently on sale. Amazing camera...
DroneWolf 82 how would you compare d7500 to d750? I’m confused on which to buy
what lens..koto.mm
Hey Polin!
Could you describe me what is weather sealed?
The Nikon never mention any weather test on D7500 although they mention about D500 it has dust and water-drop resistance.
Jared, I bought it and I love it :)
I have a D7500. You talked about the ISO, but what about the shutter speed? What setting do you use on the twisty button. Do you put it on the M, A, S or the P? I’m a beginner on using manual. I have tried it here and there, but it so easy to use the Automatic setting. I need to stop that. Help.
Anybody tell me what is the story behind his great hairs.. Why he won't cut..
froknowsphoto.com/about
Jared Polin the worst thing a person can get is cancer.. I'm very sorry for your loss...
Tears rolling down my cheeks..😢
Oh, I did not know that. So sad that you lost your mother to cancer, that really SUCKS. One thing I have learned over time is that you never know when and where it all will END. So people should try and live their lives in a way that they are satisfied with. Go back and fix things if possible so you do not regret them later in life etc.
BTW I think Jareds hair is great and I wish he would include some more vlogging style videos when going places. Perhaps get a dashcam, use drone footage etc. I know TCSTV do some of these videos here and there, nice with a mix of videos than just all out review videos.
Thanks for another great video.
Yeah, get a haircut man!
So sorry for your loss, Jared. Your hair is perfect.
So just question Jared, are you a programmer (of mobile apps in particular)?
Hey is this work on wildlife photography or not plz make a review
I want to know how it does when you do an air show.
Can someone please remind me what size lenses he was using for the tennis match?
Two questions:
1. What do you think about the ISO capabilities of the D7500 compared to the D7200?
2. Sonner or later I plan to upgrade my D5300 to a D7500 or D7200. But I got some "trouble" to choose one of those.
I wanna upgrade especially in terms of ISO capabilities, AF (in low light), better handling and some other points. Could you give me some thoughts about this?
Can you do a 10-20 DX review? Thanks
Please do!
Hello Jared, There is a very good reason the this camera dose not have an extra SD card slot or battery grip and one or two other thins at that is it WOULD by a D500 if you are desperate for those thing get the D500 but if your budget is less this will be an amazing way into Nikon or a big step up from an entry level camera. Great review keep up the good work.
Sir, do you use lightroom to convert your raw photos to jpeg?
Can I use lightroom for making time lapse video? If yes please tell me how to make that video.
Deepesh Raj thanks for your reply.
Will you tell me how to make time lapse video with light room?
Deepesh Raj thanks a lot
great review!
I love low iso shooting .
Which lens good for N 7500 For Beginners.
Any Recommendations please Guyes ...
Depends on what are you plan to shoot with the camera. I'd pick the nikon 16-85 as a standard zoom, and a good fast prime, like the 35, or 50mm 1.8 as a starting point. The 18-140 kit lens isn't bad either, but I haven't tried it yet.
Thank you friends 😍
WHAT would you mean by “Bump” the ISO, please??
Raise it
I see a lot of people on the Internet maligning the D7500. Personally, I think it's an awesome camera and that Nikon got only one thing wrong with it: the name. Everyone expected it to be a straight upgrade from the D7200, both in terms of features and intended use, so when it turned out to be different and it lacked some of the key features of the D7200, lots of folks got pissed off about that while ignoring the fact that it's still a great camera.
Don't look at the name. Look at the camera. Think of it as a D6XXX series camera: a big step up from a D5XXX camera with some of the features of the D7XXX lineup.
That's exactly the point, a branding blunder by Nikon. The camera is great all around but Nikon should have gone for other names like the d6xxx as you have suggested. Since d7500 implies a major step up from the d7200, people's expectations are pretty high. I am seriously considering this as an alternative to a6300 for the 4k vid. Only thing holding me back from switching to sony is that all of my glass are f mount and most of them are fx ones, since my original plan is to go fx on nikon, just didn't have the funds yet.
I agree its a great camera, but why would you call a camera that is more like the D500 and technically better than the 7200 a D6xxx?, that would surely be the wrong name for it?
Not that they got the name wrong you can just see what they are doing. 3xxx series basic entry level. 5xxx upgraded beginner and now 7xxx series are more advance and for hobbyist and Enthusiasts. The D500 is more the professional crop sensor. Then you have your full frames. If the D7500 had the 2 slots grip and AI support then why in hell would anyone buy the D500? For the focus system and 2 more FPS? Totally not worth the $700 in cost difference. Only thing I really think is dumb is the support for grip especially since they are something they can sell and make money on. I personally don’t use a grip but the extra battery life would be nice if I really needed.
I assume ot better than my Nikon d3200 that I had forever. Thinking on upgrading to this cause it cost less than $800 on Amazon if you just get the body. (all I need anyway cause I got rest of the gear already) I need to change camera soon as my d3200 is starting to chug at the load I give it. Focus becomes slower, and can no longer be cleaned 100% do to internal filth. This looks like a camera that can do it all for a low price.
Anick - The D7500 is leaps and bounds ahead of the D3200. I owned the D3100, D5100 and D5600 before upgrading to this incredible model. 100% worth it. I recommend (and own) the following lenses with this model: Sigma 17-70mm contemporary, Nikon 35mm 1.8, 50mm 1.8, Sigma 10-20mm and Nikon 70-300mm AF-P VR. That’s all you need to cover everything required to capture amazing pictures.
Seems like a good all rounder. D500 for sports, D7200 for landscapes etc... but I’d choose this if I wanted to become a paid photographer, seems like it could do most jobs.
awesome 👏🏻
