Looks like any other Nikon camera to me. It has a tilt screen and all sorts of other ‘useful’ stuff (although, strangely, only one memory card slot…<\/em>) which will no doubt get the ‘fan boys’ sweating.<\/p>\n

However there are a few very \u00a0retrograde steps too : no AI feeler for older non CPU lenses, no electrical contacts for an accessory grip, a single card slot etc. which all make me think that this is aimed\u00a0for\u00a0a strictly\u00a0amateur market.<\/p>\n

Whether or not all the updated gubbins is actually useful or not rather largely depends on the photographer,\u00a0 but I feel sure all the forum squatters who know everything about everything (but who rarely actually make pictures<\/em>) will be singing it’s praises before too long, and of course criticising all the really useless stuff that Nikon have decided not to include.<\/p>\n

For some very strange reason the advertising blurb from Nikon makes a lot of the fact that the camera can shoot\u00a0at 8 frames per second. What possible use this could be to 95% of users, I simply cannot imagine. This seems to be a trend dating back a few years now – the importance of the frame rate – but who actually uses this rubbish? Most of what we see in terms of images on the photography fora is total\u00a0nonsense anyway – will shooting it faster really help?<\/p>\n

The new body is made of a Carbon Composite which reduces weight, which I suppose is a good thing – although I sometimes have doubts about extensive use of plastics…<\/p>\n

The release of this new model fits into the renewal sequence of the D7*** series, the D7000 – 2010, the D7100 – 2013, the D7200 – 2015, then we skip the D7300 and D7400 to arrive at the D7500.<\/p>\n
