Nikon D7500 DSLR

The Nikon D7500 DSLR was introduced in mid-2017 as a midrange DSLR that succeeds the D7200 and shares much in common with the higher-end D500. It has the same APS-C sensor (without an antialiasing filter) as the D500, and the same Expeed 5 image processor.

The D7500 has a 20.9 megapixel CMOS sensor, 51 AF points, 8 frames per second, 14-bit RAW format and a standard ISO range of 100 to 51200, expandable to ISO 1,640,000.
