Graham,
Thanks for posting.
From another forum: this camera has NO Ai-coupling, thus cannot meter with non-CPU lenses (just like the D3nnn/5nnn series, and contrary to earlier D7nnn cameras).
Regards, Gilbert

I have been following this on the rumour mills.
It really seems to be little more that some tweaks on a D7200. OK it uses the new generation sensor and has some extra body reatures but nothing startlingly new!

I find it very disappointing that in their 100th year Nikon have such a paucity of ideas that this camera is all they have managed to release in 4 months.

Maybe the next 8 will see what I think is necessary which is a replacement for the D810 and D750.
The D5 needs a baby brother such as the D700 was to the D3.
Personally the more I use my Fuji XT2 the more I realise I have my perfect camera.
Sorry Nikon you are close to losing me just as you were before you released the D3. You have 2017 to recover the situation before I move on.

Price seems quite high with Warehouse Express (WEX) in Norwich asking £1399 body only. As Nikon say it replaces the D7200 that now sells at £850 body only it is a big jump in price.

As I have said before the D810 and D500 cover all my needs and I have no wish to replace them.

I wish there was a 24MP D810. That is exactly what I want.
The D610 and D750 are not that thing unfortunately.

Graham,
re: a big jump in price
I do not know this retailer.
Believe me, (nothing new)
At any product introduction, any retailer who does not ask the full price is...
re: no wish to
I agree, this new product seems to be aimed at new-to-Nikon users.
Regards, Gilbert

I have yet to see Nikon launch a prosumer or pro camera body under £1000. From memory the 7200 launched at £1000 in 2015. Given the state of the pound and general inflation, it doesn't surprise me the 7500 is at this start price. Of course, the 7200 dropped 20% in its first 3months...so I wouldn't be surprised if the 7500 followed the same short financial honeymoon.

It's interesting that the D500 is still selling at it's starting price of at about £1750 and the D5 has not come down much.
PS The flower pix is for Robert and sorry I shot it yesterday on my little Sony RX10.
