Nikon has announced the D7500 with a DX-format 20.9-megapixel CMOS sensor, 4K UHD video recording and lighter, compact body. It has high-performance EXPEED 5 image-processing engine and has a native ISO range of 100 to 512001 that promises minimal noise in low-light scenarios. It also has built-in Bluetooth 4.1 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g.
It has Autofocus (AF), Auto Exposure (AE), and auto white balance, delivered by the 180K-pixel RGB sensor and 51-point AF System. It also has high-speed continuous capture of up to 50 shots with each burst of approximately 8 frames-per-second3 (14-bit RAW images with lossless compression applied).
It has a 3.2-inch TFT touch-sensitive LCD with 170° viewing angle, approximately 100% frame coverage, manual monitor brightness control, and an eye-sensor controlling display on/off. It measures 135.5 x 104 x 72.5 mm and weighs just 720 grams.
