Love it. Great full frame camera – Great camera for video. I use it as my main camera. Maybe not the best for photography? Only con is doesn't have 4K. But i'm not using 4K anyway. Great value for money Show details

I can't fault this camera for my needs – I've had many cameras over the years, having bought my first cheapie in 1968. They've all been good for their time and suited me fine as an amateur… Read more

photographer who doesn't put much time or effort into his photos, but expects good results nonetheless. I recently retired and ventured into the world of DSLR's and that opened up a whole new interest for me, but I got a little wearisome carrying around different, heavy lenses and a big bag. I looked into bridge cameras and after doing quite a lot of research and reading a lot of reviews (especially those on ProductReview.com.au) I purchased the Lumix FZ2500 and I couldn't be happier. I'm not very techie when it comes to photography and I'm only speaking as a layman when I say this camera has it all for me. Great lens, great support and instructions, beautiful photos and easy to use.

Brilliant – I went from a Nikon D90 to a Nikon D5500 a year ago. While that camera has great image quality, is light and has a great LCD, I was never really… Read more

happy with the controls.

I decided to add a Nikon D7500 to the collection as I could not afford the D500. Let's just say the D7500 is outstanding value for money and the image quality is fantastic. Great for low light work and lenses like my old Sigma 150-500 which wasn't happy on the D5500 are a joy to use again.

The AF is excellent and the speed is fantastic. The controls are where they should be.

Note everything is perfect, The menu could do with some improvement and the weather sealing seems to have gone, especially around the card reader door.

Value for money - excellent. Performance - excellent. Weight - a step up from the D5500 but lighter than the D500.

I Love this Camera – Call me old fashioned liking a DSLR when everyone is going mirror-less but, I have my reasons for that mainly to do with the viewfinder. I have owned… Read more

every 5D and I have to say that the Mk4 has the features that the Mk3 should have had such as built in GPS, NFC and WiFi. Having said that the camera feels and performs well in this competitive world and whilst it is large and heavy compared to a mirror-less body, at least it feels like value for money.

The other issue as cameras get smaller is that they don't fit my hand and I find that I'm holding them with two fingers but, not the Mk4, it fits my hand very well. Also with a DSLR there is space for quick access buttons and they haven't disappeared into a menu like on some cameras.

I could write on about the features on the camera but, this review would get pages long so I'll tell you about the only thing I dislike, the dual card slot. With the Mk3 the camera stuck with your choice to be the main card to save to and when you removed the card it would switch to the other card until you put the card back and it would switch back to the main card again. Not with the Mk4, if you remove the CF card it switches to the SD card but, when you put the CF back it stays on the SD and I find this absolutely irritating because you only notice when your continuous frame rate falls because you've switched to the SD card.

This is a great camera that only has one silly issue and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a top quality DSLR.

If you're looking for a lightweight dslr this is the best, because it has a real optical viewfinder. Every other camera is either heavier, or compromises on a feature. I recommend the kit lens it comes with or the older 35mm af-s lens.
