Vero Veritas
I always had Nikon way back to the late1970s. I wouldve love to give and it a deserving five-star review but theres a rational reason for it why not. The D 7500 camera is a good (built) product and has a good image quality but as like most things these days is technologically overdone. I used to have an F2. You put in the film you knew the film speed. there were two settings you were concerned with: shutter speed and aperture. the rest was up to your ability to either meter or estimate the light and do good image composition to create your masterpiece shots... Fast-forward to today and you end up with several hundred settings if not more. A high-speed computer that can also take pictures... If you quickly need to grab the camera and take an action shot, you guaranteed always have the wrong settings.... or compared with any smart phone by the time youre able to take the shot its long gone.... A settings and configuration menu so extensive that from time to time you need to pull out the reference manual again... The most ridiculous thing that would deserve a 1 star or better a 1 (-5) star review is what Nikon calls "smart bridge," the Wi-Fi connectivity. I guess the call this "smart bridge" because that idea was conceived by a dummy for dummies. Mustve been a college kid who had no idea of photography and who also wrote the app software. (if it works the first place) It is not real Wi-Fi. You first need a Bluetooth connection to a smart phone and then the app on the smart phone in order to download the images from the camera via Wi-Fi however, the image size is limited to 2 MB...!?!?! WTF? on a camera that produces image files up to 26 MB in size? DUH? The Wi-Fi settings are fixed and you cannot change them to connect to an existing Wi-Fi network. WTF? Plain English: idiotic beyond comprehension. just imagine yourself being out in the field or on a far far away island or in the middle of the desert or wherever... More clutter more equipment and pointlessly for nothing. when I bought it I was happy it had Wi-Fi until I figured out how absurd concoction their so-called Wi-Fi is. So I go conventional I just plug it in or pull the SD chip out and insert it in my computer. You can read online much about professionals as well as others complaining about this. But apparently Nikon is mum and ignorant hence their sales are going further down as data shows. No wonder. Definitely not (professional) client driven anymore as they used to be their heyday.
