Nikon D7500 "Real World Review" the BEST Beginner Sports / Nature Photography Camera?

Welcome to the Nikon D7500 “Real World Review”. Could this be the BEST beginner sports / nature camera for people just starting out?

This is a very well rounded camera with a lot of features form 8 frames per second to 4k video recording to great high ISO. Of course it all comes at a cost but I say beginner because a $1,200 starting point for someone looking to get into their first DSLR is not that far off. Of course it’s subjective but in my experience selling cameras I think $1,200-$1.800 was a sweet spot for many people.

I decided to take this camera into a situation that would push it’s abilities pretty far. An old arena with terrible lighting along with tennis which is a fast moving sport. I wanted to see how the ISO would handle the need for faster shutter speeds as well as how it handled tracking focus.
