• Excellent built-in flash sorely lacking in the D500.
• Electronic video stabilization at 1,080p (none at 4K).
• Real-time 4K video output to the card and uncompressed via HDMI.
• Headphone and microphone jacks
• There is a focus motor in the Nikon D7500, so it works with every AF lens made since 1986.

Sensor Resolution, Image Processing Engine

The Nikon D7500 brings one of the tremendous shake-ups in the change of the sensor. The Nikon D7500 has decided to use the slightly lower resolution that is of 20.9 Mega Pixels sensor from the Nikon D500, which as in that camera is teamed with Nikon’s EXPEED 5 image processor.

While it may seem quite a sacrifice to lose almost 4MP if it is compared with the Nikon D7200 which has the resolution of 24.2 Mega Pixel and such minor drops in the resolution do have advantages, particularly when it comes to sensitivity.

[su_note note_color=”#fff” text_color=”#333333″ radius=”10″ class=””]

Continuous Frame Rate and Frame Buffer Capacity

The EXPEED 5’s high-speed image processing and a larger memory buffer have made the Nikon D7500 perform high-speed continuous shooting at approximately 8 frames per second with full AF (Autofocus) and AE (Auto Exposure) between the frames.

Up to 50 images at around 8 frames per second or in 14-bit lossless compressed RAW/NEF, or up to 100 JPEG images can be captured with each burst of continuous shootings, ensuring certain capture of the perfect moment.

Storage Media and Ports

Nikon D7500 supports only a single, lonely and a little SD (Secure Digital) and UHS-I compliant SDHC or SDXC memory cards.

It consists of a power-saving design that enables recording of up to approximately 950 still images, and approximately 80 minutes (measured in accordance with CIPA standards) of movies with a single charge when the EN-EL15a Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery is used.

Shutter Life

The speed range of the shutter in the Nikon D7500 is merely the same as the Nikon D7200: 30s to 1/8000s, including bulb and time modes. The fastest shutter speed of 1/8000s is tremendous for shooting action or using fast lenses in bright light.

A faster all-electronic shutter mode is not offered, however, an electronic front-curtain shutter is now available for reduced vibrations, but only in mirror-up release mode.

The shutter unit is rated for 150,000 actuation, the same as the Nikon D7200, but now Nikon D7500 includes a shutter monitor, which automatically corrects the shutter speeds for improved accuracy.

Metering System

Another important area called Metering in which the Nikon D7500 borrows the specifications from the Nikon D500.

Metering modes include matrix i.e. 3D color matrix metering III, centre-weighted i.e. 8mm central circle with the weight of 75% to the center.

Autofocus Modules

The image sensor of Nikon D7500 is although new but not its autofocus system. The autofocus framework incorporates 15 cross-sort sensors, of which the centermost point is f/8 compatible which is perfect for working with long focal points and teleconverters.

The low-light working scope of the self-adjust framework is evaluated for – 3 EV, which is amazing yet is 1 EV higher than the Nikon D500’s autofocus framework or we can say that autofocus sensitivity ranges from -3 to1 EV.

Battery Life

Regardless of an enhanced battery, battery life has been dropped marginally from 1,110 to 950 shots. Dissimilar to the Nikon D7200, a battery grasp for the Nikon D7500 does not seem, by all accounts, to be accessible.

There is another battery too, called EN-EL15a, which is equipped for shooting 950 shots before it needs charging.

Final Words

The Nikon D7200 was, and still is, an amazingly competent camera. So for Nikon to really make its successor deserving at least moderate respect, an option that is other than a granular refresh was required.

Luckily, the new Nikon D7500 highlights enough enhancements, including a considerable measure of tech pulled from the APS-C lead Nikon D500 that all signs indicate it is the successor we would be sought after.

After all, Nikon D7500 utilizes the same 20.9MP sensor with no optical low-pass channel as the Nikon D500, and also its EXPEED 5 picture processor. This new processor is 30% speedier than the EXPEED 4 processor in the Nikon D7200.

A speed favorable position that gives the Nikon D7500 a leg up in a couple of key ranges like burst speed, buffer depth, video capacity, and native ISO affectability.
