Is the Nikon D7500 better than the D7200? I still can’t decide

I used to own a Nikon D7200 when I was Technique Editor on N-Photo magazine because I was working exclusively with Nikon DSLRs. I sold it when I moved to Digital Camera World to cover mirrorless cameras. I’ve always missed my D7200 but I’ve ended up replacing it with a D7500. So how do they compare?

DSLR Live View can be painfully slow, but here’s a simple workaround that changes everything

If you like composing images on a screen rather than in a viewfinder, then there’s no doubt that mirrorless cameras do it better than DSLRs. With DSLRs you have to switch to a live view mode with a sensor-based AF system which is so much slower that many users just won’t bother.

Nikon gave up too early with the Nikon 1. Imagine what it could be today

The Nikon 1 system was launched way back in 2011, perhaps too far ahead of its time. It used smaller 1-inch type sensors when rival mirrorless camera makers were using larger MFT or APS-C sensors, so already it had a bit of a hill to climb.
