Bluetooth low energy technology keeps the D7500 linked to your smart device at all times for instant image distribution. As a result, the D7500 loses its second memory card slot as well as its 'Ai' indexing tab, limiting its compatibility with older, manual focus Nikon lenses (all previous D7000-series cameras had this). Sony is bringing a shutter angle setting to its two more affordable alpha-branded Cinema Line cameras, the FX3 and FX30, with a firmware update.

It preserves the natural colour of outdoor shots very effectively and copes well under artificial light – though it will still show a bit of a yellow cast under tungsten lighting. Before the obvious posterizing happens in the large flat areas, low contrast detail in the shadows disappears after about a 2 stop push.D7500’s body employs a lightweight monocoque structure made of carbon fiber composite material, offering durability against shocks. The Nikon D7500's relatively low resolution does hurt it slightly in our lab tests, where it's knocked back into fourth place by the other three cameras, but its sensor does not have an anti-aliasing filter, so the gap is quite small in the lab and even smaller in real-world shooting, where you have to look quite closely to see the differences. With a tough, weather-sealed body and a tilting touch screen for shooting from inventive angles, it's built to go with you anywhere. 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.

Camera technical details can get complicated quickly, but we all need a place to start before diving into the deep end.

It doesn't have on-sensor phase detect autofocus either, so while you can use its live view mode for 4K video, it relies on slower contrast-detect autofocus. We took to the streets for some portraits and shot a few macro photos for this first installment in our sample gallery. Time-Lapse Movie: easily generate smooth, well-exposed 4K/UHD and Full HD time-lapse movies in-camera in full DX-format. Cinematic 4K/UHD video footage: record 4K/UHD 30p footage, or Full HD (1080p) video at frame rates of up to 50p/60p. It has a tilting touchscreen display on the rear, and it’s the first Nikon DSLR with built-in support for Nikon’s new radio-controlled Advanced Creative Lighting System.
