dpreview has posted a new article talking about the new released Nikon D7500 DSLR camera to compare with Canon’s EOS 80D and flagship EOS 7D Mark II. The new Nikon D7500 is already shipping in US at Amazon | B&H | Adorama. The US price for D7500 body is $1,247, compared to 80D body for $1,099, 7D Mark II body for $1,499.
D7500 Vs 80D:
For those who are shooting fast action and stills and primarily use the optical viewfinder, the D7500 is a better bet, with its faster burst speed, deeper buffer and better (likely class-leading) phase-detection autofocus system, with 3D AF tracking.
For those who have a greater emphasis on video and don’t necessarily need 4K (or just don’t want it at a 2.25x crop), the EOS 80D is hard to beat, due in no small part to Canon’s Dual Pixel AF. It just makes it so easy to shoot video that’s properly focused, allowing for dependable face detection and subject tracking as well as precise focus racking.
D7500 Vs. 7D Mark II:
Overall, the EOS 7D Mark II is still a dependable, durable workhorse that is serving seasoned pros well – but if you’re looking at getting a new camera or are just considering moving into the enthusiast DSLR segment, we can’t help but feel the Nikon D7500 is a better choice.
