Seek out the new. Catch the shot of a lifetime.
The search for the perfect image can take you anywhere. Go there with the powerful, nimble, and fully connected D7500. Catch the beauty you find with flagship DX image quality inherited from Nikon’s D500.
Here. Or there. In darkness or light. Put the shot of a lifetime within your reach. 20.9 MP DX-format sensor. EXPEED 5. 180K-pixel RGB metering sensor.
The D7500 delivers crisp, high-definition images with rich tonal gradations. You’ll enjoy phenomenally accurate subject recognition and superior performance at high ISOs. You’ll marvel at the quality of its 4K/UHD video footage. And the in-camera Picture Control system makes it easy to apply your own creative style whether you’re shooting stills or video.
Excel in low light. With ISO 100-51200 extendable up to ISO 1640000 (equivalent), the D7500 isn’t afraid of the dark.
The fast EXPEED 5 processing engine ensures remarkable image quality across the ISO range. Fine noise is dramatically reduced and even cropped images shot at high ISO values retain their quality. The Hi 5 setting lets you shoot at an incredible ISO 1640000 (equivalent) and make the most out of available light.
Capture precise exposures and dynamic compositions. 180K-pixel RGB metering sensor and Advanced Scene Recognition system.
The camera’s 180K-pixel RGB metering sensor and Advanced Scene Recognition system combine to ensure you’ll get the shot—even when the scene involves smaller or fast-moving subjects. For high-contrast scenes, the new highlight-weighted metering will prioritise the brightest elements in the frame, and help you avoid images with blown-out highlights.
Whatever you shoot, the 51-point AF system will track your subject, lock onto it, and keep it in focus. Even if the only light is the moonlight.
The AF system boasts 15 central cross-type sensors, and is accurate all the way down to an impressive -3 EV. You can capture sharply defined shots at night without using additional lighting. Group Area AF mode delivers enhanced subject detection and tracking when shooting subjects that are comparatively small and close to a high-contrast or distracting background.
Elevate your movies to the next level. Record in ultra-high-definition detail at up to 30 frames per second.
Shoot stunning 4K/UHD 30p footage, or record Full HD (1080p) video at frame rates up to 50p/60p. The camera offers clean HDMI out: you can even output uncompressed HDMI to an external device and the in-camera SD memory card simultaneously. You can optimise video for smart devices by recording in MP4 and AAC formats. And Nikon’s Electronic Vibration Reduction dramatically reduces the effects of camera shake when shooting Full HD movies handheld.
Transform street scenes and sunrises into dramatic high-speed sequences with the built-in interval timer and 4K/UHD-quality time-lapse function.
Easily generate 4K/UHD and Full HD time-lapse movies in-camera. The exposure smoothing function will reduce unwanted flicker effects when shooting with an auto exposure mode such as aperture-priority.
Find the ultimate shot even if it’s hidden inside a blur of motion. Capture 50 NEF (RAW) or 100 JPEG images in one high-speed burst.
Never miss the moment that defines the event. Shoot up to approx. 8 fps for approx. 50 frames in 14-bit lossless compressed RAW. Or capture up to 100 frames in Large JPEG Fine during one high-speed burst. Full AF/AE tracking during continuous shooting ensures there’s no sacrificing precision for speed.
Press and hold to experience 8 fps.

Adventurous images are everywhere. Tap the slimline tilting touchscreen monitor to focus and shoot from high viewpoints and intriguing angles.
The 8 cm (3.2 in) tilting monitor lets you operate AF and shutter-release functions via touch controls when you shoot in Live View. And the well-placed command dial and multi-selector make it easy to change settings as you shoot.
The ultimate image, captured with no distractions. With an optical pentaprism viewfinder that offers approximately 100 % frame coverage—it’s possible.
The viewfinder’s optical system delivers an incredibly clear view through the lens. Sunlight, glare, and external movements are blocked out: what you see is what you get. And if you’re using a telephoto lens, the viewfinder enables you to adopt a shooting position that gives a more stable hold.
Nikon’s SnapBridge lets you keep the D7500 constantly connected to your smart device via Bluetooth® low energy technology¹. Sync photos to your device as you shoot, without having to reconnect each time. Transfer movies manually whenever you want via the camera’s built-in Wi-Fi®². SnapBridge connectivity also lets you use your smart device to shoot remotely.
Nimble, strong, and high on energy. The D7500 is ready to match your ambition.
The D7500 boasts a deep grip that makes this camera feel like it’s an extension of your hand. You can keep shooting for extended periods on one battery charge. The high-performance shutter has been tested for 150,000 cycles. And the camera body is weather sealed to help prevent dust and water droplets from damaging the electronics.
