3. Best Affordable alternatives

Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 Lens: Cost even less than half compared to the Nikon 17-55 mm f 2.8 lenses.  The Sigma 17-50mm lens features a fixed aperture and costs only $369. Surprisingly, when you look at the comparison between both the lenses When mounted on Nikon d500 camera (Nikon D500 and Nikon D7500 shares same sensor). The sigma lens sharpness score is 20 whereas the test score of Nikon is 19 only. The test score of both the lenses clearly indicates that despite being 3x costlier than the Sigma lens to Nikon lens is unable to outperform Sigma during test conditions.

Sigma makes excellent lenses and it will cost 3x  less than the Nikon lens and performs better than that.

4. Best Fixed Aperture Zoom

Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 Lens Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 lens is the world’s only APS-C sensor-based zoom lens that features a fixed F1.8 aperture. The lens cost ½ then the native Nikon 17-55mm F2.8 lens. Yes, you have to sacrifice focal length but it acts as 18mm, 24mm, and 35mm F1.8 lenses. The lens image quality ressembles with a prime lens. The bokeh of the lens is amazing and it’s a perfect solution when you need a perfect wedding/event photography companion.

5. The Best portrait lens for Nikon D7500

The first lens we recommend for this camera is a portrait lens of 50 mm 1.4.  the fact is the 1.4 aperture lens is more brighter will give you more pleasant background Blur compared to an F1.8 lens, it will going to cost you a bit more compared to the 1.8 version. But getting a 50mm F1.4 lens means extending the reach and limit of your creativity.

Nikon 50mm F1.8 is more affordable compared to the F1.8, Lens is one of the best portrait lenses for your camera. The range you get from this FX AF-S Lens is 75mm (DX crop factor) which is perfect for shooting portraits under budget. While using the lens I have noticed that it produces exceptionally sharp images even when used at a wide aperture. The bokeh quality of the lens is too perfect for its range.

The good: The best lens for shooting portrait
The Bad: None

Buy Nikon 40mm F2.8 AF-S DX from Amazon

6. Best Macro Lens for Nikon D7500

Nikon 40mm F2.8 AF-S DX  – It’s a Tailored macro lens for a DX-format camera and delivers pixel to pixel-level details. it’s a true macro lens that captures life-size macro images with excellent color and contrast. The only downside of the lens is the lack of VR (Image Stabilization). So you have to keep your hands sturdy while shooting your subjects or you need to keep Tripods on.

The Good: Sharp images, affordable
The Bad: None

7. All Rounder lenses for Nikon D7500

NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR Lens A single lens that switches off the need of all the other lenses is.NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR Lens but with a compromise in image quality. This lens is also very important since when you are on travel and need an all in one solution then 18-300mm works for you. You can capture wide-angle shots to super-telephoto from one lens. The images are a bit soft at telephoto-end when used at Max aperture. The image comes sharp and usable when capturing F7 at the wide-end. Since it’s an FX-format lens so the range you get is 27-450mm lens. (approx 16X optical zoom). The lens gives you the longest possible zoom range available. So it made for those who don’t have the time and space to change lenses constantly.

The Good: Coverage
The Bad: Soft at telephoto-end @ Max aperture


We have two options here, the first lens is made by Nikon and features a decent specification with a high-price tag. The other third party lens is built by Tokina and its performance and price are better than of Nikon.

Nikon 10-24mm lens image

Buy Nikon 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G  lens from Amazon | B&H

8. Best Ultra-Wide angle lens

Nikon 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 ($896) The lens is the one and only ultra-wide-angle zoom lens. Available for Nikon D7500 camera. The 10-24mm is undoubtedly the best lens available for shooting landscape and architecture. It can be also used for shooting in streets or events, at night you may require tripod. The images from this lens are very sharp and exhibit minimal distortion. But what we don’t like is, the lens doesn’t carry image stabilization system and its cost is insane.

The Good: Image Quality
The Bad: No VR, Price too High.

 

Tokina-16-11mm-lens-image

Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 DX II ($449) Amazon and B&H

9. Affordable and better Ultra-Wide angle lens

The Tokina 11-16mm lens features a fixed F2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range. Best lens for shooting landscapes and architecture. The F2.8 ultra-wide zoom lens is available for a Nikon camera that allows you to work without worrying about the lighting condition. Built-in internal AF motor works smoothly and fast. This lens performance is exceptionally well compared to the native Nikon Lens and I recommend you to get this lens over Nikon 10-24mm lens.

The Good: Image Quality, Price
The Bad: None

Before we begin let’s talk about the design

Let’s start the comparison of Nikon D7200 and Nikon D500. Nikon D7500 camera is slimmer, thinner and smaller compared to the Nikon D500.

In general small cameras are easy to carry and they are more comfortable when you have to hold them for a long time. Nikon D7500 also weight less than Nikon D500 approx 220 gram lighter then the Nikon D500.

Sensor of Nikon D500

Nikon-D500-sensor-image

Nikon D7500 camera uses same sensor as of Nikon D500 camera, hence the size and type of sensor is exactly same. Not only that the image processor inside the camera is also same and hence we expect Nikon D7500 will deliver same image quality as of Nikon D500.

ISO range

The ISO range of the camera is also range is also same as of Nikon D500. The reason behind the same ISO range is Nikon D500 camera uses same sensor and image processor. And hence you get same image quality as of Nikon D500 from Nikon Nikon D7500, we can also called Nikon D7500 as a lite Nikon D500.

Low pass filter

Both camera doesn’t’ have low pass filter inside it, hence we expect both camera will deliver astounding images without an issue.

Image Stabilization: This is the first time Nikon introduce in-body image stabilization inside a DSLR. But keep in mind it’s a electronic Image Stabilization system only available for Full HD video mode. So if you need crisp and clear pictures or better 4K you must get VR lenses.

Auto-focus:  The Auto-focus of the camera, The Nikon D500 features Multi-CAM 20K 153-Point AF System whereas the Nikon D7500 features Multi-CAM 3500 II DX 51-Point AF Sensor same as of Nikon D7200.

The Nikon D500 features advance AF system composed of 153-Point AF System, 99 cross type whereas Nikon D7500 camera features 51-Point All Cross-Type points only. Without a doubt the Nikon D500 features a better AF system with more coverage so you never miss any AF frame even using continuous burst while panning your camera.

Hence in the AF department we haven’t seen any improvements. The AF system of the camera remains same as of its predecessor.

Continuous shooting speed: The Nikon D7500 features continuous shooting speed of 8 fps whereas Nikon D500 is capable to record images at 10fps. So, Nikon D500 is offering you three extra frames per second. If you are a sports shooter then you will sure know the value of 3 extra frames in a second.

Other feature

Being a high-end camera the Nikon D500 do feature high resolution display and more battery life. on the other side the Nikon D7500 is bit lighter as well as smaller.

loss of the 2nd SD card slot: The biggest loss in my view, Nikon decided to cut one SD card slot, earlier version of D7XXX series camera do have dual SD cards slots.

Verdict:  Nikon D7500 is a lite Nikon D500, you will get same image quality since Nikon used Nikon D500 sensor inside Nikon D7500. But under $1200 price tag you are getting industry best APS-C sensor that supports 1.6Million ISO. We highly recommend you to get this camera.
