Chronology
PredecessorNikon D7200

TheNikon D7500is a 20.9-megapixeldigital single-lens reflex camerausing anAPS-Csensor.[1]It was announced byNikon Corporationon 12 April 2017, and started shipping on 2 June 2017. It is the successor to theNikon D7200as Nikon'sDX formatmidrange DSLR.[2]

Features

[edit]

The D7500 borrows the sensor and processor from theNikon D500,[3]whereas other features previously available in the D7200 or D500 have been omitted (single SD card slot instead of two, and no Nikon battery grip). The D7500 is the first D7XXX series without metering support for old manual focusNikon AItype (Non-CPU) lenses.[4]

Feature reductions

[edit]

The following features, which are available for the D7200 and D500, and which typically target professional photography, have been removed, so that the D7500 is set off against the D500's and D7200's market segment:

  • No battery grip will be available from Nikon nor from 3rd parties as an accessory, due to missing connectors. There are 3rd party workarounds depending on connecting a thin and fragile cable, where daily usage could damage the cable and its connector sockets easily.
  • No dual memory card slot, which protected professionals against card failure losses
  • No metering supported for older manual focus Nikkor AI (non-CPU) lenses
  • No magnesium alloy used to strengthen the body internally, now substituted with "monocoque carbon fiber composite"[5]
  • No 24 Megapixels (6000x4000), now 20.7 (5568 x 3712) (also applies to the D500 having the same sensor as the D7500)

The D7500 shipped with firmware that only allowed forWi-Ficommunications to work with Nikon's proprietary SnapBridgemobile application.This also applies to the other cameras of the same generation such as the D500, D850 and D5600.

After some backlash[6]from users, a firmware update released in May 2019 enabledWi-Ficommunications for third-party applications.[7]
