By on

Nikon D7500 is rumored to be the successor to the D7200 DSLR camera. The mid-range digital SLR camera to become official by the end of 2017.

The DSLR camera with an APS-c size image sensor will be able to capture 20.9-megapixel photos and to output 4K videos.

Due to the fact that the sensor is the same as the Nikon D500, it is expected that the name of the D7200 replacement will have a similar “D500” in it. Nikon D7200’s replacement, presumably called D7500 instead of D7300 to avoid name confusion.
