What is the sensor size of the Nikon D7500?
The Nikon D7500 is a digital camera that has an APS-C sensor at its core. This imager measures 23.5mm in width and 15.7mm in height, so that the total imaging area of the sensor amounts to 369 mm2.
The D7500 provides an image resolution of 20.7 megapixels, based on 5 568 horizontal pixels and 3 712 vertical pixels.
Sensor size comparison with a film slide
The sensor diagonal measures 28.3mm, which gives rise to a format factor (or crop factor) of 1.5. Hence, the Nikon D7500 is a crop-sensor camera, as its sensor is smaller than a traditional 35mm film slide or negative.
Sensor specs and performance
The table below compares the sensor specs of the Nikon D7500 to those of several similar cameras. The reported DXO values are indicators of the sensor's imaging quality (higher is better), covering color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape), and high-ISO noise (DXO Sports). Larger sensor cameras tend to outperform cameras of the same generation that are equipped with a smaller imager. On the other hand, larger sensors are more expensive and require bigger and heavier lenses than smaller light receptors.
