What if the superior image quality of the D500, Nikon's DX flagship D-SLR camera, was made even more accessible? The new D7500 employs the same CMOS sensor, EXPEED 5 image-processing engine and 180K-pixel RGB sensor used in the D500, but packs them into a more compact and lightweight body.
Features
Comfortable Grip Design
D7500 employs a deeper, more ergonomic grip designed to help improve stability, eliminate hand and arm fatigue and ensure comfort for all day, handheld shooting with a telephoto, the zoom or all-in-one NIKKOR lenses. Whether you are an enthusiast or a professional, the D7500's ergonomics are uncompromising in comfort and operability, giving you that seamless Nikon shooting experience regardless of what you are shooting.
51 Point AF System
Quickly focus on erratically moving and low-contrast subjects with a versatile 51-point AF system and the same group-area AF mode found in Nikon’s flagship D5 and D500.
180k-pixel RGB Sensor
Just like the D500, the D7500 employs a 180K-pixel RGB sensor for more powerful face detection to improve the accuracy of capture-enhancing features like matrix metering, i-TTL, 3D-tracking, AWB and more.
Active D-Lighting
Preserve details in highlights and shadows when shooting high-contrast scenes, giving your footage richer tonal gradation and a more natural brightness.
Touch-operation, Tilting 3.2-in. LCD Monitor
The D7500's tilting LCD monitor lets you shoot from a wider range of angles with ease, as well as focus and release the shutter by touch when using live view. It makes macro shooting from low-angle positions more convenient, enabling you to operate the camera right next to flowers growing close to the ground.
Built Light, Rugged & Weather Sealed
D7500's body employs a lightweight monocoque structure made of carbon fiber composite material, offering durability against shocks. Its design incorporates a deeper grip for more secure and comfortable holding—a big advantage during longer shoots. Comprehensive weather sealing is applied to the camera body to prevent dust and water droplets from damaging the electronics, for added piece of mind.
Inspiring performance for
your boundless creativity
D7500 is built for maximum performance with top-tier image quality, blazing speed, flawless autofocus, 4K Ultra HD video and pro-grade creative tools—all in a comfortable, rugged design. This is a camera for the new generation of creators.
Flagship Image Quality
The D7500 uses the same 20.9 MP DX-format image sensor and Expeed 5 image processing engine as the D500, taking your photos and videos to the next level.
20.9 Megapixel CMOS Sensor
The D7500 employs the same CMOS image sensor used in the Nikon DX flagship model D500, offering 20.9 megapixels. Designed without a low-pass filter, it strikes an optimal balance between image resolution and low-noise performance. Paired with Nikkor lenses, the D7500 produces amazingly sharp, crisp images.
Expeed 5 Image Processing
Nikon’s powerful Expeed 5 image-processing engine handles fast continuous shooting and 4K UHD video recording at 30p with ease.
ISO Range up to 51,200

4K UHD Video Recording
The D7500 lets you record up to 29:59 in 4K UHD/30p as well as Full HD. Record uncompressed, 8 bit 4:2:2 4K UHD files to an external recorder via HDMI, while simultaneously recording to your in-camera SD memory card. You also have the option of recording in MP4 format for smooth playback on smart devices. Combined with the excellent optical performance of Nikkor lenses, the D7500 depicts scenes in breathtaking detail.
In-camera Time-lapse Movies
The D7500 lets you generate 4K UHD2 or Full HD time-lapse movies, entirely in the camera.
Power Aperture Control
Change the aperture smoothly and quietly during movie recording—especially useful for significant brightness shifts in a single shot.
Versatile Sound Controls
Microphone sensitivity levels can be adjusted in 20 increments while visually monitoring the sound level indicator during movie recording.
Electronic VR
Capture smooth footage when working without a tripod, or using a single-focal-length (prime) lens without optical VR.
Take creative control over your images
With Nikon’s Picture Control System, you can select one of eight Picture Controls according to your creative intentions including Picture Control Auto to automatically optimize images to each scene.
Precision Optical Viewfinder
With Nikon's precision optical viewfinders, you see what the lens sees—without any delay and in real time. This is ideal for sports, action, low light, and general shooting scenarios. perfected over mani decades, the optical viewfinder gives you the purest shooting experience possible, with the clearest, brightest and most seamless rendition of the scene playing out in front of you.
Built-in Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi® Connectivity
Share your most impressive images easily. The D7500 can be constantly connected to a smart device4 via Bluetooth®, with the SnapBridge application installed. Automatically transfer images taken with the D7500 to your smart device or upload them automatically to Nikon Image Space.
Built-in Pop-up Flash
When shooting in low-lit interiors or capturing a portrait at night, the D7500’s versatile, built-in pop-up flash comes in handy.
WR-R10 and Speedlight System
Combined with Nikon’s versatile WR-R10 Wireless Remote Controller (sold separately), the D7500 can control up to three groups of optional SB-5000 Speedlights simultaneously via radio control.
Multiple Exposure
Combine up to 10 images using the multiple exposure function. Save every frame or just the composite image.
Raw Batch Processing
Quickly select and process large quantities of RAW images in-camera to adjust settings, correct exposure and save post-production time.
Special Effects Modes
Make your stills or videos more eye-catching with Special Effects like night vision, photo illustration, miniature, selective color and more.
Long battery life lets you shoot uninterrupted
With the D7500's optimized power management, you can shoot approximately 950 shots with the included EN-El 15a battery before you have to worry about swapping it. With competing platforms, you'll find yourself carrying up to 3 batteries to shoot as many frames as the D7500. If performance and reliability matter, then battery life matters. The D7500 can help you get a full day's worth of shooting down to one battery charge.
Durable shutter unit tested for 150,000 cycles
D7500's shutter unit has been rigorously tested for 150,000 cycles while actually loaded into the camera. It's also fitted with a shutter monitor function that calculates the duration between front- and rear-curtain movements every time the shutter is released, and automatically corrects any variance.
