The Nikon D7500 DSLR is out.

As per its DX format sibling – the flagship D500, the D7500 comes with high-performance EXPEED 5 image-processing engine and Nikon DX-format CMOS sensor; giving superior image quality with very little noise throughout the broad ISO 100 to 51200 range of standard sensitivities.

The D7500 supports the same 4K UHD (3840 x 2160)/30p movie recording possible with the D500, supporting almost half an hour of recording. Movie files can now be recorded in the MP4/AAC format commonly supported by smart devices. Time-lapse movies can be created in 4K UHD format within the camera and can be output to an external device via HDMI as they are recorded to the in-camera SD memory card.

The D7500 has been improved over its predecessor, D7200. One of them is a 180K-pixel RGB sensor, which increases the accuracy of automatically controlled functions such as AF, AE and auto white balance. The D7500 also delivers faster image processing and a larger memory buffer, which enable high-speed continuous capture of up to 50 shots per burst of around 8-fps (14-bit lossless compressed RAW) shooting.

The camera is equipped with a monitor that utilises a touch screen and tilting mechanism and comes with a slimmer and lighter body than its predecessor. It is also compatible with SnapBridge, which enables constant connection of the camera to a smart device. A multiple exposure function permits users to preview partially overlaid images of the final composite during the shooting process or delete the most recent frame and reshoot.

With a power-saving design, it enables recording of up to approximately 950 still images, and approximately 80 minutes of movies with a single charge when the EN-EL15a Rechargeable Li-ion Battery is used.

The D7500 will be available from June 2017 with the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens, or the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens, or with the body-only configuration.
