Nikon D7500 Advantages:
- AA Filter – The D7500 has no AA filter, which results in slightly sharper images. You won’t see the difference unless printing really big
- Higher ISO Range – Borrowing the D500’s sensor, the D7500 can go as high as 102,400 and expands up to 1,640,000
- AF Points – The D7500 has 6 more AF points, but less cross-type (we’ll cover it in the 80D’s list)
- 8 vs 7fps – Makes a difference when shooting for a few seconds
- LCD Size– 3.2″ vs 3.0″
- Viewfinder – 100% coverage
- 4K Video – The D7500 can record 4K videos at 30, 25 or 24p
- Buffer – Twice as bith JPEG and RAW buffer size, big plus if you shoot long bursts
- Built-in Bluetooth
- Weight – The D7500’s body weighs 90g less
First, if you need 4K video, the D7500 is currently the only DSLR available at this price level. Other than that, the high ISO range is also a big plus but 99% of the time you don’t want to use any DSLR over ~12,800.
For sports and wildlife, the bigger buffer can be a big help if you often shoot for a few seconds and take more than 50 JPEGs in a row.

Canon 80D Advantages:
- Megapixels – 4 more megapixels.
- AF System – The Canon 80D has 45 vs 51 AF points, but all 45 are cross-type compared to only 15 on the D7500. It’ll focus better in low light and other difficult situations
- LCD Screen – It’s fully articulated vs the fixed one on the D7500. Resolution is also slightly sharper
- Dual Pixel AF – The 80D has DPAF technology, which makes auto focusing for videos much more usable
- Built-in NFC
- Less Expensive – The 80D body costs around $150 less
For a slightly lower price, the 80D’s advantages you’ll appreciate the most are an articulating LCD screen, more cross-type AF points and DPAF for video focusing. Both cameras are very similar so it’ll ultimately come down to which one of these features you see yourself using more.
