Nikon D7500 Review | Photography Blog - Chuyên Trang Chia Sẻ Kiến Thức Thời Trang Mới Nhất

Introduction

The D7500 is Nikon’s latest enthusiast level DSLR. It features the same 20.9 megapixel APS-C sized sensor as found in the top-of-the-line D500, making it a good alternative for those who are tempted by the more expensive camera but don’t quite have the budget available. Along with the sensor, there’s also an EXPEED 5 processor, a 51-point AF system, 8fps continuous shooting, a tilting touch-sensitive screen and the ability to record 4K video. Just like most of Nikon’s other cameras, the D7500 is compatible with Snapbridge – the company’s bluetooth connectivity option which automatically transfers your photos across to your smartphone or tablet. Other features include an optical viewfinder, single SD card slot and a maximum shutter speed setting of 1/8000. The Nikon D7500 retails for £1299 / $1249.

Ease of Use

The size and weight of the Nikon D7500 has been reduced a little when compared with the D7200, but it’s still a comfortably chunky camera. It feels well-built in the hand, with a textured coating covering the front and rear grips. In short, this is a solidly built piece of kit with a good deal of buttons and dials available.

On the left hand side of the Nikon D7500 ’s top plate, you’ll find the mode dial. You can use this to switch between manual and semiautomatic modes, as well as choosing between automatic, scene, and effects modes. There’s also space here for two user defined groups of settings, which can be particularly useful if you often find yourself shooting one particular kind of subject – for example low light. There is a lock button in the middle of the dial, which prevents you from accidentally changing the exposure mode when the D7500 is in a bag.

Front of the Nikon D7500

Underneath the mode dial is a smaller dial for changing the drive mode. You must press a small button down in order to twist the dial, again preventing you from making accidental unwanted changes. From this dial you can choose single shot, continuous (low), continuous (high), quiet modes, timer mode and mirror lock-up. It’s a little fiddly to use, but luckily it’s probably not something you’ll want to be changing all too often.

Heading over to the right hand side of the top plate and there’s an LCD screen which displays some key shooting settings, such as aperture and ISO. You can illuminate this screen by pushing the on/off switch one step further from the “on” position. There’s also a dedicated movie record button, an ISO button and an exposure compensation button. For the ISO and exposure compensation button, you need to use them in conjunction with tie dials which are found on the front and rear of the grip.

These dials also have other functions, depending on the shooting mode you’re in. So, for example, in manual mode, the rear dial alters shutter speed, while the front dial changes aperture.

Rear of the Nikon D7500

On the back of the Nikon D7500 , there’s a row of buttons found on the left hand side of the screen. These include the menu button, and as such aren’t buttons you’ll be using especially frequently. There’s also a playback and delete button on the left hand side, meaning you’ll need to grip the camera with two hands to use it effectively in play back.

Over on the right hand side of the Nikon D7500 , you’ll find buttons which you’re more likely to want frequent access to. For example, there’s a navigational pad which you can use to alter the AF point, the AE-L/AF-L button and a Live View button, which has a switch around it to enable switching between stills and video shooting. An “i” button is designed to give you quick access to a few key settings, but the options contained within the sub menu are a little odd – and there’s no way to change which settings appear here.

There are also a few key buttons on the front of the Nikon D7500 . There are two function buttons – one found next to the lens mount, and another on the inside of the grip. These are customisable to various functions which can be assigned via the main menu. Just below the flash is a button which you need to press to release the flash from its housing, while there’s also a button for AE and flash bracketing. Just underneath the lens release button is a switch and button combination. Use the switch to change between autofocus and manual focus, and use the button to choose between different AF modes, such as Group AF which has been newly added to the D7500.

Top of the Nikon D7500

The D7500’s screen is tilting, but not fully articulated. You can tilt it to 90 degrees upwards, as well as face it downwards. That makes it useful for many awkward angles, but is not helpful for portrait format orientation, or if you want to face the screen to face forward. The screen is touch-sensitive, and you can use it for a variety of functions, including swiping through images and videos in playback. You can also change the AF point and fire off the shutter release when shooting in Live View by a simple tap of the screen.

Those who like optical viewfinders should be very pleased with the Nikon D7500’s offering. It is bright and clear, and unlike some other enthusiast cameras on the market, it offers a 100% view of the scene – that means everything you see in the viewfinder will be recorded by the sensor.

One of the big changes from the D7200 is that there is now just one SD card slot. Perhaps this was done to facilitate a smaller and lighter body, but those who like to have a second card for a backup will surely be disappointed. Further bad news is that the card slot is only compatible with slower UHS-I cards – this seems like a bit of a backwards step considering the camera is aimed at relatively advanced enthusiasts.

The Nikon D7500 In-hand

Another new feature for the Nikon D7500 is that it is now compatible with Nikon’s Snapbridge technology. This is designed to utilise an always-on low-power Bluetooth connection which automatically transfers your images to your smartphone ready for sharing your images on social media and the like. In theory it’s a fantastic idea, but in reality it can be a little unpredictable. When it works, it’s great – but at times the camera may refuse to connect to your phone, it may not always automatically transfer your images and occasionally it can get stuck. You can set the camera to automatically transfer every single image you take – that’s something you may want to switch off if you’re shooting at fast frame rates and don’t want to fill up your phone too quickly. That said, you can also opt to have the automatic transfer capped at 2 megapixels per photo to save space.

Nikon has equipped the D7500 with its latest EXPEED 5 image processor. That makes it fast to use, and also facilitates a reasonably fast 8fps frame rate. That’s just about enough to track a relatively predictably moving subject, and should therefore suit the needs of most enthusiast photographers. Full AF / AE tracking is also available, so you can get some sharp action shots.

When it comes to focusing speeds, the v manages to lock onto the subject very quickly and easily with relatively little back and forth movement when the subject is clear and in good light. If you’re shooting something a little fussier, or in low light, the D7500 can occasionally struggle to lock on instantly, but it generally gets there in the end. It’s relatively rare for a false confirmation of focus to be displayed.

Image Quality

All of the sample images in this review were taken using the 20.9 megapixel Fine JPEG setting, which gives an average image size of around 13Mb.

Directly from the Nikon D7500, colours displayed in JPEG images are bright and satisfyingly saturated. Detail is also extremely well resolved at low ISOs, something which you can see by examining at 100%. When shooting at higher ISOs, you can see some examples of image smoothing from around ISO 6400 at normal printing sizes, or ISO 3200 if examining very closely. The overall impression of detail remains useable at A4 or below up to around ISO 12800, with the highest native settings of 25600 and 51200 best avoided unless you’re really struggling.

Like other cameras in Nikon’s range, the D7500 has expansion settings which can take up up to ISO 1,640,000. It’s fair to say that at this point, image quality is very degraded, and it’s possibly only those who intend to use the camera for surveillance purposes that would be interested in using these speeds.

When it comes to noise, JPEG images are impressively noise-free up to high ISOs of around ISO 6400. At the highest native settings of 25600 and 51200, there is noise visible even at normal printing sizes, so you’ll likely only want to use these settings at very small sizes. By examining corresponding raw files we can see that Nikon is applying a good degree of image smoothing to its JPEG files. While the resulting effect is generally natural and pleasing at low to mid-range ISOs, if you have photographed something particularly detailed you may want to apply your own noise reduction settings to get a better (or different) balance between detail and noise.

The all-purpose metering system is prone to slightly underexposing in some conditions, so you may find you need to bump up the exposure compensation to get a better balanced exposure. You can also activate D-Lighting in the camera’s main menu, which helps to bring out more details in shadows.

Automatic white balance copes pretty well with a range of different lighting conditions, but it errs ever so slightly towards warmer tones when shooting under artificial lights. That’s not to say the look is unpleasant, but if you’re after ultimate accuracy you might want to switch to a more appropriate white balance setting.

Noise

There are 15 ISO settings available on the Nikon D7500 and the ISO speed can be adjusted in 1/3 EV increments. Here are some 100% crops which show the noise levels for each ISO setting, with JPEG on the left and RAW on the right.

The Nikon D7500 also has ISO Sensitivity Auto Control, activated from the shooting menu. If set to On, the camera will automatically adjust the sensitivity if proper exposure cannot be achieved at the value chosen by the photographer. The user can put a limit on the maximum sensitivity selectable by the camera.

ISO 1640000 (100% Crop)
ISO 1640000 (100% Crop)

Flash

The pop-up flash on the D7500 has several settings including Auto, Fill-in flash, Red-eye Reduction, SlowSync, Red-eye Reduction with Slow Sync, Rear-curtain Sync and Off. The mode of operation can be TTL, Auto or Manual, and there is Flash Exposure Compensation (FEC) available as well. These pictures of a white wall were taken at a distance of 1.5m.

And here are a couple of portrait shots with the flash turned Off and On.

Night

The Nikon D7500 lets you dial in shutter speeds of up to 30 seconds and has a Bulb mode as well for exposure times of practically any length, which is very good news if you are seriously interested in night photography. There is an optional long-exposure noise reduction function that can be activated to filter out any hot pixels that may appear when extremely slow shutter speeds are used. Do note that this works by way of dark frame subtraction, which effectively doubles the exposure time. The shot below was taken using a shutter speed of 30 seconds at ISO 100.

Conclusion

For enthusiasts who are excited by the D500 but didn’t want to spend the high asking price it commands, the Nikon D7500 is a great alternative. With it, you almost get a mini D500, especially given that it uses the same sensor and processor combination.

The Nikon D7500 is a great all round performer, which is well-suited to a range of different subjects that the average enthusiast is likely to tackle, and comes with a significant cost saving over the D500 – it’s also smaller and lighter, arguably making it a better option for travelling.

Images directly from the camera are generally crisp, vibrant and well-detailed. Autofocusing is quick and accurate, and although there aren’t as many points as you’ll find on the D500, the coverage across the frame isn’t too different as the points on both are gathered in the centre of the frame.

Using the Nikon D7500 is good, with a nice range of dials and buttons for enthusiasts to appreciate. You don’t have the AF joystick that you find on the D500 though, which is a shame. A 100% optical viewfinder and a tilting touch-sensitive screen are a good combination which help you to compose your images in a variety of different ways.

Fans of action photography would be better placed with the D500 than the D7500. The D7500 has a more modest frame rate (8fps), while the single card slot is only compatible with the slower UHS-I SD cards. If you only shoot action occasionally however, the D7500 should be just about adequate.

Other great features at this level include 4K video recording – something which is not yet standard on enthusiast level cameras, and a good noise performance at high ISOs. Bluetooth and Snapbridge is great – when it works – but can be a little frustrating at times when it refuses to pair, hopefully this technology will only improve as kinks get ironed out.

Overall, the Nikon D7500 is an great all-round enthusiast camera for those looking for their next step up DSLR, especially for those who don’t have pockets deep enough for the D500. If you shoot a lot of action, want dual memory card slots, and more AF points, consider saving up a little bit longer and getting the more expensive camera. Otherwise, the D7500 should meet most of your needs.

The Nikon D7500 is a midrange APS-C DSLR that both sits below and borrows a lot from Nikon’s APS-C flagship D500 including its 20.9MP sensor, high-res metering sensor (used for subject recognition) and very probably its image processor. In a lot of ways, it’s like a mini D500, which in and of itself is like a mini D5. All three are built for speed.

For these reasons, the D7000-series has always been popular among enthusiast photographers who want professional-level control, without the professional-level price. However, the D7500 makes a few changes that some fans of the series will undoubtedly see as a step backward, as it plays a slightly different role than the cameras that preceded it.
