• It takes great photo. I like it.
• Before I start, these are simply my own impressions. I was once a professional photographer way back in the days of film and photographed over 600 weddings, as well as sports teams and schools. Nowadays I am just an amateur who sells prints once in awhile. I am also a recently retired economics teacher and in my quest to upgrade from my excellent, but outdated D7000, I applied the principles of wants vs needs, trade-offs, opportunity costs, and cost benefits.Realizing the no camera will give one exactly what they want, I narrowed the requirements down. My two main criteria were higher ISO performance and more accurate focus. I do a lot of bird in flight, and both are essential. It came down to the D7200, the D7500, and the D500. The D7200 already being two years out, I ruled it out. The D500 fit my needs, and a few wants, but the price tag was a bit steep. The D7500 seemed the best fit, and after trying it for a couple of days I believe I made the right choice.ISO- While the D7000 had an upper limit of ISO 1600 before degrading, I now feel quite comfortable at 3200 which helps with the 180 f/2.8 for birds. I will test at higher when I do some Milky Way shots next week.Focus- Spot on, fast and accurate. I can track a bird quite easily.Exposure- Amazing. The color rendition and exposure are so good I don’t have to do any tweaking. Even shooting a bird against a bright blue sky the metering handle it.Eight frames per second is fast. The shutter is quite sensitive and I will easily shoot a sequence when only one is needed, but they delete.The shutter is much quite quieter than the D7000 and makes a sweet sound like my old Contax.The negatives that people are sounding off on don’t bother me. One card slot is okay, I never utilized the second slot before, and I am not doing anything that a card failure would cause a catastrophic loss. No battery grip is okay too. I have one for the older camera, but never used it. I am so old that reaching over with my finger feels natural. Not being able to meter with old lenses is okay too, I don’t have any.The bottom line is that this camera meets my needs, and then some, giving me a good return on investment.Update 7/17- After spending a couple of weeks with the camera I am even more pleased. I found the group autofocus and af-c to work the best for tracking birds. I have gone up to ISO 6400 with satisfactory results, in fact I have yet to use the flash.Update 7/21- I have been using the camera at the beach for surfer photos and it performs impeccably. Battery life is a bit short, but that may be affected by the use of a screw drive lens. The sunrise photo was shot with the 10.5 fisheye.
• I\'ve had the D7000 since 2011 and always found it hit or miss as far as focus goes. Spent a lot of time taking pictures of brick walls, angled rulers and focus charts trying to dial in AF fine tune. I got it as good as I could and could get sharp photos out of it but at times regardless of all that I\'d get some images that were off or just overall seemed soft. At the time the D7000 was considered a good low light camera but I found this is where it struggled with focus the most. I was a bit disappointed to see the D7500 dropped to a single SD card slot and no longer incorporated magnesium in the frame construction. For those reasons I tried to pickup a new D7200 but apparently missed the boat and none were to be had (aside from refurb or import). Ultimately I caved in and went with the D7500 as the D500 is a good chunk of extra money and would require an external flash. I don\'t abuse things I own so magnesium frame components aren\'t a necessity to me and though dual card slots would be nice also aren\'t a necessity. I haven\'t had a card go bad ever and I\'m not a professional photographer so I don\'t require the redundancy. If I were making profit from my photos I would be paying more for the body with dual card slots. I don\'t agree with the statements that the D7500 is a step back from the D7200, it\'s more like a diagonal step forward. There are improvements that have been made that make it better than a D7200 but it has moved in a different direction than the D7000, 7100 and 7200 previous models. It is now the advanced consumer camera the D7xxx line was meant to be rather than the lite version of a professional model. Overall I\'m very pleased with it and glad I got it instead of a D7200. I don\'t have the focus issues I saw with the D7000 and the low light performance is vastly superior to that of the D7000. It also has full support for the new AF-P lenses which I picked up a refurb 18-55 vr for a very low price. The focus speed of the AF-P lenses is near instant and for video has no detectable noise unlike the AF-S that make ridiculously loud noise while slowly dialing in to focus that is picked up by the built-in camera microphone. I also found the AF-P lens to take incredibly sharp photos which kind of surprised me since it\'s a \"cheap\" plastic mount kit lens.
