I bought it as my first DSLR. Before this, as a complete beginner, I had no idea about photography. I used to take photos with my phone and struggled to edit them to make them look like they were taken with a DSLR. However, I had watched so many videos before getting my hands on this camera that I already knew it inside out! I decided to buy an advanced DSLR in case I improve, so I wouldn't have to buy another body. I received it on 11/08/2020.
Well, let me tell you, it's an incredible camera. It's not just semi-professional, but even more than that.
I was torn between the D7200 and D7500, and I chose the D7500 and I don't regret it for a moment! The reason I was hesitant was because of trivial matters and misinformation about the lower megapixels. The photos are divine!!! I took amazing shots in Auto mode since I haven't learned the manual mode yet. This camera has a lot to teach you!
I also tried the effects! It takes even better photos!
I haven't explored the manual mode yet, as mentioned before. The flash is not very satisfying for an amateur like me, as I have used a friend's DSLR, which was the D90 model from a decade ago. Now, about the lens, the 18-140mm VR, I don't have much to say since I haven't used any other lens before, except for a similar one that my friend's D90 had. It is more solidly built and quite heavy, but I don't mind! I wanted to take long-distance shots! The manual focus works wonderfully, quickly, and very easily. I had no difficulties at all.
As for the video, the fact that it's 4K speaks for itself...
(Regarding the card slot, which has been a topic of discussion, it's not a problem because the snapbridge feature makes it easier, or you can just get a 128GB or 256GB memory card, or even a 64GB one, which still facilitates the process. The only positive thing about the dual card slot is that (if it had it) you would have the option to save NEF files in one slot and JPEG files in the other. Here, Nikon made a big mistake because they aimed for semi-professional use, not professional.)
I will come back for more results!!!
UPDATE 18/08/2020
By learning the camera in Manual Mode, I can say that with the right lens, it is on par with full-frame cameras, and I have also explored other camera bodies!!! I believe it is on par in terms of image quality with the D750 and the appropriate lenses in terms of crystal-clear clarity. If we consider all the additional gadgets that the D7500 has, it surpasses the highly praised D750!!!
UPDATE 2nd 07/10/2020
So, this is a camera that, with a lens that is so sharp, you would think it's definitely full-frame, and then you rub your eyes when you read that it's a crop frame. I emphasize again that I still read that many people get stuck on the fact that it has fewer megapixels. Come on, let's get a grip and look at the D5 or D6, which are considered the top Nikon cameras; they have fewer megapixels than the D7500 by exactly one stop. To be precise, the D7500 has 20.9MP, and the other two have 20.8MP. The reason they have fewer megapixels is that too many megapixels hinder the entry of light into the sensor and result in a crystal-clear image. If you want the pixel, the pixel, the pixel, oh, the pixel, go for the D850 to enjoy the megapixels if your pocket can handle it (not just for the camera purchase, but also for later on with lenses, flash, etc.), and it's truly useless if you're not a professional. You will never fully utilize a professional camera. To come back and not ramble, this is about the Top crop frame camera that comes with an internal flash for those who don't want to spend money on an external flash. Although it is good to get an external flash in my opinion to give a pro touch :D those who want the top crop should take a look at the D500 without a built-in flash. So go back to full frame again, mama... So it is the best purchase in crop frame with all that an amateur wants.. I am very satisfied!!!!!! ;)
