Nikon D7500
The Nikon D7500 remains one of the most capable APS-C DSLRs Nikon ever made. Its 20.9MP sensor is shared with the professional D500, delivering excellent dynamic range and clean performance up to ISO 51200. The tilting touchscreen and 4K video capability were unusual features for a DSLR at its launch. The 51-point AF system with 15 cross-type points is reliable and fast in optical viewfinder use. The main consideration when buying today is the DSLR format's maturation: F-mount lenses are abundant and extremely well-priced on the used market, which is the primary argument for choosing it over Z-mount APS-C. For photographers with an existing Nikon F-mount lens collection, the D7500 extracts excellent value from those lenses. For new buyers without legacy glass, Z-mount mirrorless offers more future-proof technology.
The D500's BSI sensor in a compact, weather-sealed body — excellent high-ISO performance and DSLR reliability at a great price.
