Chronology
PredecessorNikon D7200

The Nikon D7500 is a 20.9-megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera using an APS-C sensor.[1] It was announced by Nikon Corporation on 12 April 2017, and started shipping on 2 June 2017. It is the successor to the Nikon D7200 as Nikon's DX format midrange DSLR.[2]

Features

The D7500 borrows the sensor and processor from the Nikon 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 focus Nikon AI type (Non-CPU) lenses.[4]

Feature reductions

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:

The D7500 shipped with firmware that only allowed for Wi-Fi communications to work with Nikon's proprietary SnapBridge mobile 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 enabled Wi-Fi communications for third-party applications.[7]
