In the fast-evolving world of dentistry, tools and techniques like Digital Smile Design (DSD) are reshaping how dentists approach patient care and communication.
Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or just starting your journey, understanding DSD photography can open doors to better patient relationships, more predictable outcomes, and more efficient practice.
However, as with any innovative method, DSD has its supporters and critics. Let’s dive deeper to understand what makes this technique so valuable – and why it’s worth considering for your practice.
Why Digital Smile Design (DSD) Photography is a Must-Have for Modern Dentists
The Debate Around DSD: Misconceptions and Realities
Critics argue that DSD focuses too much on selling unnecessary treatments to patients, prioritizing aesthetics over health. However, this perspective misses the essence of DSD as a tool for communication and education.
On the other hand, supporters highlight its ability to empower patients, giving them a clear visual of potential results. By providing transparency and fostering trust, DSD shifts the focus from “selling” to collaboration.
The truth lies somewhere in between: like any tool, DSD’s value depends on how it’s used.
As a dentist, your ethical approach determines whether DSD becomes a powerful asset to enhance patient satisfaction or just another sales tactic. When used thoughtfully, DSD is transformative, bridging the gap between patient expectations and clinical reality.
Why Patients Love DSD Photography
Visual Clarity: Patients can see what their future smile will look like before committing to treatment, reducing anxiety and fostering confidence.
Collaborative Decision-Making: DSD empowers patients to actively participate in their treatment journey.
Emotional Connection: Seeing a realistic simulation of their future smile often creates a “wow” moment, strengthening trust in their dentist.
Transform Smiles in Just Two Visits with DSD
This video takes you inside the transformative journey of a patient’s smile—achieved in just two visits! With Digital Smile Design (DSD), you can:
Capture stunningly accurate photos and videos during the initial visit to create a personalized smile simulation.
Use a motivational mockup in the second visit to give patients a tangible preview of their future smile.
Why Dentists Should Consider DSD
Streamlined Communication: DSD simplifies complex treatment plans, making them accessible to patients and your dental team.
Improved Predictability: With precise visual data, you can align patient expectations with achievable outcomes.
Marketing Potential: Sharing DSD simulations (with consent) on social media can attract new patients and showcase your expertise.
Whether you use a DSLR, a mirrorless camera, or even just an iPhone or iPad, DSD photography can seamlessly fit into your practice. Its accessibility and versatility make it an essential tool for modern dentists looking to elevate their services.
How DSD Photography Transforms Patient Care
DSD photography combines the power of advanced technology with emotional storytelling to create a patient-centered experience. Here’s how it works:
Smile Simulation: Turning Vision into Reality With DSD, you can create a digital simulation of a patient’s potential smile using a combination of high-quality images, videos, and mockups. This gives patients a tangible preview of the results, helping them feel confident in their decision to move forward.
Streamlining Complex Treatments By documenting the entire process through photography, you ensure that your team, the lab, and the patient are all aligned. This reduces miscommunication, speeds up workflows, and minimizes costly errors or re-dos.
Fostering Emotional Engagement Patients are more likely to trust and commit to a treatment plan when they see a visual representation of the benefits. DSD taps into this emotional connection, turning a potentially daunting dental visit into a positive and inspiring experience.
Delivering Results That Patients Remember The combination of professional visuals and seamless communication enhances patient satisfaction, ensuring they leave your practice with not just a better smile but a better experience.
Is the DSD Technique Right for You?
Like any tool, the value of DSD lies in the hands of its user. If approached with integrity and patient-focused care, it becomes a game-changer for your practice. Here’s what to consider:
It’s More Than a Sales Tool: While it has undeniable marketing potential, DSD is primarily a clinical asset that improves outcomes and builds trust. Accessible for All Dentists: Whether you’re a beginner using an iPhone or an experienced photographer with a full DSLR setup, DSD can adapt to your skill level. It’s About the Patient: By focusing on the patient’s needs and expectations, DSD fosters a deeper connection and a sense of partnership in their journey to a better smile.

You may expect it year after year but hold your horses. If we weren’t sure until now, now we are, because Canon says it without any doubt: DLSRs are alive and they’re fine and you can work with them as a dental photographer.
Canon still accounts for a third of the entire camera market, with as many as 1.8 million digital SLRs being sold last year! And of course, Canon sells more than anyone else.
Why would anyone think that this is the end of the DSLR era? Well, there were no new models shown during the last CP+ event. But there’s an easy explanation to that.
“CP+ is a place to present new products, and that’s why you won’t see many DSLRs this year. All companies are of course focusing on hybrids. But SLRs still represent 30% of global sales. That means there’s always demand for this range – and most DSLRs sold globally are made by Canon.
“There is also a high volume of lenses that are still intended for the DSLR ecosystem. We do not envisage a sudden end to SLRs, nor an instant switch to hybrids. Sure, there will likely be a gradual decline, but the demand is still there. – says Go Tokura, general manager of Canon’s Imaging Division.
Interestingly, as we can see, Canon distinguishes three camera types at the moment: mirrorless, hybrid and DSLRs. And the latter is still hanging in there.
Are you a DSLR or mirrorless fan in your dental office?
As we predict – thanks to many trade rumors – Canon is about to announce the Canon EOS R7 and Canon EOS R10, two mirrorless models with APS-C sensors.
But there’s more. Various sources say that these new models could be direct replacement for the Canon EOS 7D Mark II and Canon EOS 90D. That’s all according to news site CanonWatch, who think we could have an official announcement as soon as 24 May! The EOS R7 was thought to be a replacement for the Canon EOS 7D line, as Canon has been focusing on its EOS R line-up for some time, and a mirrorless version of the EOS 7D II could definitely attract dental photographers who want the reach of an APS-C sensor (and a more affordable body).
Will the new EOS R7 and EOS R10 be the right choice for dental photographers?
EOS R7: Specs
What do the rumors say? EOS R7’s technical specs include a 32.5-MP APS-C sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus, a 15-30fps continuous shooting speed, 4K video recording at 60/50fps (NTSC/PAL), 1080p recording at 120/100fps, and In-Body Image Stabilization.
We can be sure: such specs seem really enough for a dental photographer.
EOS R10: Is it happening at all?
We’re still not sure whether the EOS R10 is a real thing. None of these reports have been officially commented on by Canon itself.
But – if it is true – Canon Rumors has listed a few possible specs for the EOS R10, which if true, could make the EOS M camera line seem redundant. These include a 24.2MP sensor, 15-23fps (using the mechanical/electronic shutter), and 1x UHS-II SD card slot. These are more modest than the EOS R7, and suggest that the EOS R10 could be pitched as the entry-level RF Mount camera with an APS-C image sensor.
If CanonWatch has a good source, we only need to wait a few days and everything should be clear! Stay tuned, we’ll keep you posted.

If you’re looking for your Canon or Nikon flashes replacement for Dental Photography, here’s a new option: Godox MF-R76 Macro Ring Flash.
Compatible with Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic, Olympus, Fuji, and Pentax DSLR cameras with a hot shoe, the MF-R76 Macro Ring Flash from Godox illuminates your subject with a soft and even light, which is ideal for revealing small, close-up details – an indispensable skill when it comes tointraoral photography.
Godox says that “with a ring shape design and a flash head allowed to be directly attached on the front of a lens, it provides illumination without getting in the way or casting harsh shadows, which is deemed an ideal option for photographers to shoot the close-up images both on location and in the studio”. These features do look perfect for us, dental photographers!
The ring light consists of two components: a controller that slips into your camera’s hot shoe, and the ring flash, which mounts on your lens. Godox includes 49, 52, 55, 58, 62, 67, 72, and 77mm adapter rings to ensure wide compatibility with most lenses. The control unit powers the system via a long-lasting rechargeable lithium battery, which can provide up to 660 full-power flashes. The manual unit regulates light intensity in 1/3 EV increments from 1/1 full power to 1/128, and a large LCD panel conveniently displays flash settings for easy navigation and control.
Godox MF-R76 Macro Ring Flash is now available for $279.
With the new image.canon service, photographers can forward their work automatically from their camera to their computer, mobile device and supported services like Google Drive. The service is free to use and stores images on Canon’s own server.
Every Canon user can register a Canon ID and then use the service to wirelessly transfer images from their supported device to Canon’s cloud platform. From there, the images can then be forwarded to other services, a computer and mobile devices.
Image.canon stores the uploaded original images for 30 days, after which they will be deleted from the server. What is interesting, Canon doesn’t have any restrictions on image size or the number of images that can be transferred! The company says there may be instances where uploads are restricted for ‘operational reasons’, though.
Image.canon: a new platform to make your work easier
There is an exciting addition to the new cloud service – it enables the automatic background transfer of your images when the camera is connected to the internet. This means you can spend less time manually transferring your images and more time focusing on your shoots: this is our goal after all. However, according to Canon, only cameras released from 2020 will be capable of this.
Image.canon will also have dedicated PC software that will allow photographers to quickly download their shots from this hub. Canon users will also be able to sort images and share their photos directly to their social media channels or email contacts.
image.canon promises to be a handy replacement to the existing Canon Image Gateway and it will launch in April 2020.
Nikon takes care of the mirrorless full-frame cameras users!
After last year’s patch with Eye AF for the Z6 and Z7 bodies, the newest Firmware 3.0 update provides us with ProGrade and Lexar CFexpress (type B) cards support.
Butthe biggest change regarding this patch is the one about the AF mode, which was a bit defective.
What’s new? Switching the autofocus modes is much easier now, as it can be done with F1 and F2 buttons on a body or lens tube (if you’re using a compatible lens with the Z mount). This means that the focus tracking operation in AF-C mode is improved and similar to the 3D tracking we know from Nikon’s DSLRs. It can be easily toggled on and off by simply pressing the shutter-release button halfway or holding down the AF-ON button while shooting stills in AF-C mode.
Release either button and the focus point returns to its previous setting. Moreover, switching from the AF screen with Auto-Area mode to subject tracking can be assigned to an Fn button. This is a step towards personalization.
Other corrections have been made in areas like the viewfinder brightness, the iOS Bluetooth connection and the rare phenomenon with horizontal lines on some photos.
If you’re a mirrorless cameras fan looking currently for a low-budget lens, this news is for you. We’ve found a great option for anyone who wants to start a dental photography adventure.
You’ve probably known the Chinese company for its outstanding, low prices. The optical quality might not be the highest, but their products are definitely sufficient for beginners in dental photography.
The cheapest macro on the market: How does it work?
7Artisans 60 mm f/2.8 is created for cameras with the APS-C matrix, so it gives the equivalent of 90 mm focal length
with minimal distance of sharpening (26 cm) it gives us the maximum magnification, 1:1
the optical system is based on 8 elements in 7 groups and has a diaphragm with 10 aperture blades, which we can close to f/16
the lens is made of metal with a stepless aperture adjustment ring; it will be helpful for those who like to focus manually while taking photographs of the interior of the mouth and while filming
the producer provides an extra sleeve to put on the lens: thanks to this, the front element will remain clean
the lens is quite small: 66 x 55 mm, but also rather heavy: it weighs 550 g
Let’s have a look at some example photographs. The producer didn’t share them in high resolution, but we must say: the quality seems to be just fine.
The exhaustive list of available mounts and corresponding sensor sizes means that the lens will possess a different effective focal length, depending on which system you use:
Canon RF – 60mm
Nikon Z – 60mm
Leica L – 60mm
Sony E – 90mm
Fujifilm X – 90mm
Canon M – 96mm
Micro Four Thirds – 120mm
Price and availability
As said before, the 7Artisans products are usually available at a really good price. This macro lens confirms this opinion: it costs only 179 Euro. Even if it won’t provide the highest image quality, it’s worth to give it a chance.
Stabilization system may not work properly. The producer announces a free recall
D5, D500 and D750 were flawless and for a minute we thought that Nikon has solved its problems and knows how to avoid manufacturing defects, so common in the past. Unfortunately, the nightmare is back, and it’s attached to company’s key products, the mirrorless full frame Z6 and Z7. What’s more, the news comes just one day after the newest update has been released.
The stabilization is not able to use its possibilites, Nikon says
“We have noticed that the reduction of vibrations doesn’t work properly in some of our Z6 and Z7 mirrorless cameras. We will repair them for free” – says the producer.
As Nikon doesn’t explain exactly what does this defect mean for the user, we guess the problem lies in the VR mechanism. Otherwise, this could be solved with the firmware update. Nikon wouldn’t say which part of the camera may be out-of-order. Instead, the producer has prepared a special search engine for Z6 and Z7 owners.
How can I check if my Nikon is broken and what should I do next?
First of all, you should use the search engine on the official Nikon’s website. If your camera shows up as the one with this problem, you should contact the closest Nikon service point. Employees will check your camera and repair it, even if your warranty is expired or not valid in your region.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience that this matter may cause. The Nikon company will pursue the effort to avoid similar problems in the future – ensures the producer.

This flash trigger is not only new. It is also unusual thanks to its button-free handling.
“From time to time something comes along that changes everything, this is one of those rare occasions,” Profoto says. Is it really? Let’s take a closer look!
Connect is a sleek, black, puck-like pod that sits on top of the camera via the hot shoe mount. It has only three settings: auto, manual and off. You can select one of them by turning the top of Connect to one of three positions. And that’s it!
Auto mode is as easy as it can be. While pressing the camera’s shutter, the correct flash exposure is automatically calculated.
In manual mode you have bigger control over your flash. Connect connects to Connect app via bluetooth. There you can adjust the power of your flash as you wish.
The button-free handling seems convenient and this is what we are looking for when it comes to dental photography.
The Profoto Connect operates on the 2.4GHz frequency and can control any Profoto AirTTL flash with an operating range of 330 to 1000 feet. It features 8 channels and a 30-hour battery life with its rechargeable battery. What’s clever, the trigger turns off automatically after an hour of inactivity.
LEXAR 1TB – THIS CARD LOOKS IMPRESSIVE, AND WE DON’T MEAN JUST ITS CAPACITY.
Bigger and bigger photos, video in 4K – these changes need new solutions, like fast cards with bigger capacities. But if safety is important for you as well, this new card will be your best friend.
LEXAR IS BACK ON TRACK WITH SDXC CARD
Few things to know about Lexar Professional 633x SDXC? Record-breaking 1TB capacity, read transfer speed up to 633x (95 MB/s), write speed up to 70 MB/s, ability to work in challenging conditions and the fact that is out now.
In 2017 Lexar landed in Chinese producer Longsys and we wondered if its offer would still be expanded and how? Today we must admit: they did it well.
Of course, out of duty, we need to mention Sandisk 2016’s card with 1TB capacity. The only problem was, it never hit the sales. Unlike it, Lexar’s card is available already and costs around $500.
WE SPENT $500, AND WHAT DO WE GET?
Class 10 performance–leverages UHS-I (U1 or U3 depending on capacity) technology for a read transfer speed up to 95MB/s (633x) and 70MB/s write (guaranteed permanent write speed is 30 MB/s)
1TB capacity, but you can also choose cheaper cards with capacity: 521, 256, 128, 64, 32 or 16 GB
Ability to work in challenging outdoor conditions: from 0° to 70°C, or keeping it in -25° to 85°C with humidity range 5-95%
IS IT WORTH IT?
$500 is quite a lot, but in our opinion, this card is just worth the cost. Apart from its huge capacity and other features, working with a card from a known producer is safer. The card must be reliable.

We’re looking forward to this event, really proud and sure this will be the key event in dental photography of 2019.
While taking photographs, many dental photographers focus only on capturing teeth correctly in terms of the technique.
If you want to create great portraits, you can’t forget about the eyes and what is reflected in them. Catchlights in the eyes usually look attractive and make your portraits true eye-catchers.
“The eyes are the mirror of the soul and reveal the truth about the human” – you have already read or heard something like that, haven’t you? Because it’s a rather risky statement on a blog for dentists, I’ll say that apart from a pretty smile it is the eyes that are most important in a portrait.
When taking portrait photographs of their patients, most doctors concentrate on the correct focus setting. Usually we focus on the eyes or the teeth and more and more cameras are equipped with the function of their automatic detection. But not only the focus is important – the light reflected in the eyes of the person matters too.
Leonardo da Vinci applied catchlights to make the people he painted look more vivid. The ability of setting up and selecting light appropriately, will give your portraits extraordinary character. The light will be reflected in the eyes differently depending on if it comes through the window, from the softbox, or from the ring lamp. Remember about this while taking photographs and take time to set up the light or the model right.
The simplest way to achieve a pretty catchlight is to use the reflector.
Below you can see a few shots from our session held while recording with Carlos Ayala. We photographed our model, Michelle, in such a manner that the reflector can be seen in her eyes.
In our daily routine, we don’t notice the light reflected in human eyes because this is something common. A person appearing in a photograph without catchlights might look unnatural. Catchlights can be additionally enhanced in post-production, which doesn’t require advanced skills. The video below presents photographs by famous photographers, thanks to which it’s clear how much difference is made by these small reflections (or their lack).
I hope that this article has encouraged you a bit to experiment with lighting.
If you want to learn more about portrait lighting, I recommend the following lessons:
The key features of Laowa 25 mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro include an advanced optical system, maximum magnification of 5:1, high resolution and excellent colouring of the photographs.
Impressive close-ups within reach
Photos: Alberto Ghizzi Panizza, Jie Ge, Gil Wizen
The optical system of Venus Optics Laowa 25 mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro ensures image magnification from 2.5 to 5x. It’s composed of 8 elements in 6 groups, and one of them is made of ultra low dispersion glass. The manufacturer emphasises that thanks to such a design we can enjoy an appropriate correction of chromatic aberration, as well as images characterised by high sharpness and high reproducibility of colours.
Apart from that, each element composing the system is covered with anti-reflection coatings, which should minimise light reflection and appearance of hot spots and flares within the frame. In addition, the overall contrast of photographs in challenging conditions will be improved. The depth of field is ensured by the 8-blade diaphragm with the range of f/2.8-f/16. The focal length of 25 mm, in turn, is responsible for the 10.3-degree angle of view.
Venus Optics Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro is sized 82 x 65 mm and weighs 400 g. Of course, it’s a fully manual macro glass, which offers an effective focusing capability ranging from 173 to 223.5 mm. The lens is already available for preorder with Nikon F, Canon EF, Sony FE and Pentax K mounts. It costs 399 dollars.
An interesting option is that you can buy an adapter for the Micro Four Thirds (M43) system, so also the users of small mirrorless cameras can tap the potential of this glass.
Key features:
Focal length: 25 mm
Open F value: F 2.8
Field of View: 10.3 degrees
Lens construction: 6 groups 8 pieces
Minimum aperture: F16
Maximum aperture: F 2.8
Minimum photographing distance: 173 mm to 223.5 mm
Working Distance: 40 mm – 45 mm
Shooting magnification: 2.5 times to 5 times
Number of diaphragm blades: 8
Weight: 400 g
Corresponding mount: Canon EF, Nikon F, Pentax K, Sony FE
After delivering two very interesting wide-angle lenses, Irix is releasing a tele-macro model, which may be one of the most perfect designs intended for dental photography.
The Irix 150 mm f /2.8 lens should meet the requirements of even the choosiest users dealing with macro photography. The manufacturer has announced that the lens contains premium optics inside a very robust sealed enclosure. With the focal length of 150 mm and the magnification ratio of 1:1, Irix 150 mm f/2.8 Macro 1:1 lens offers exceptionally convenient work. The higher focal length allows you to move away from the subject, so casting a shadow is no longer a problem, and using external lamps has never been more comfortable.
Zero distortion and easy focusing
The optical system is composed of 12 elements in 9 groups, with three of them made of extra-low-dispersion glass and four others of high refractive index glass. The manufacturer promises that the effect achieved by such a design is unnoticeable distortion of 0.1%. We also get an internal focusing system, thanks to which the glass does not change its size during the focusing. What’s more, the 11-blade diaphragm is supposed to give a pleasant bokeh and to make the diffraction appear much later than in other designs when it is closed down to higher values (up to f/32).
The glass will let you focus already at the distance of 34.5 cm, while the wide rubber ring with the rotation angle of 270 degrees should guarantee high precision and improve your work culture. Another useful option available is the possibility to lock the focus ring.
Robust sealed structure
Apart from that, we get a new version of the Dragonfly finish, which combines the advantages of Firefly and Blackstone lenses. As a result, the whole is relatively light and handy (87 x 135 mm, 840 g) but is still robust – the aluminium frame was enclosed inside an outer structure made of aluminium-magnesium alloys and composite elements. There are also sealings in 5 key places (front element, focus lock ring, focus ring and bayonet mount), thanks to which you’ll be able to work in any conditions. You can screw filters with the diameter of 77 mm on the front element.
In addition, the lens is equipped with a processor, which lets you control the lens aperture from the camera level, and with an AE module, which enables semi-automatic modes (PASM). Owing to this solution you’ll get a confirmation of focus from the camera level and record full EXIF data. The set includes a lens with a deep sun hood, a tripod collar according to the Arca Swiss standard and a rigid case for safe transport and storage.
Price and availability
For the time being, the manufacturer has not disclosed the exact date and the price at which the new lens will be launched. The glass will be available in versions with Canon EF, Nikon F and Pentax K mounts.
So we’re waiting for a really interesting piece here.
Key features:
Focal length: 150mm
Format: 35mm “full frame”
Mount: Nikon F, Canon EF, Pentax K
Max aperture: f/2.8
Min aperture: f/32
Field of view: 16° (diagonal)
Minimum focus distance: 34.5cm

Nikon D850 is the next generation of the D800′ s line…
When Nikon introduced the D800 and D800E, it set a new benchmark for DSLR image quality and super high-resolution photography that approached medium format. Now, five years later, Nikon proudly introduces the next evolution in high-resolution DSLRs, a camera that allows photographers to capture fast action in 45.7 megapixels of brilliant resolution. With remarkable advancements across the board—sensor design, autofocus, dynamic range, sensitivity, Speedlight control, battery life, shutter and mirror drive mechanisms, Silent Photography in Live-View mode, focus shift capability and more—this is quite possibly the most impressive, well-rounded DSLR yet.
What has changed?
– Sensor type and resolution – now it’s impressive 45.7 megapixels
– The new high-resolution touchscreen as the monitor is added
– Autofocus, dynamic range, sensitivity (ISO), battery life
– The built-in flash has been removed
– The new feature like focus shift capability
This amazing camera has very interesting feature, which is implemented. It’s called “FOCUS SHIFT SHOOTING”. If you are deep in love with super macro photography and focus stack photography than it’s the right choice for you.
Watch this official Nikon’s tutorial Nikon D850 First Look – Stills and learn more:
Canon users were waiting for the new model from 6D series from the last few years. Now we can take a closer look at the results of the hard work of Canon’s engineers.
What you should know and what has changed?
completely new sensor with 26Mpix and ISO from 100 to 40.000
Dual Pixel AF in Live View means easier focusing during rolling video
More comfort thanks to the new fully-articulating touchscreen
Sealed body for the outdoor use
The EOS 6D Mark II hasn’t change ergonomically. When you compare it externally with the predecessor, it’s pretty hard to tell the differences. The main external change is in the addition of a 3″, fully articulating touchscreen LCD. There are more similarities between the models than there are differences. However inside the 6D Mark II is completely different and adopts some solutions from Canon 80D.
What is importat for dental photography? The camera body has the 2 Custom Shooting modes available C1 and C2. You can easily save your most commonly used settings like for intraoral shots or portraits and recall it when you take the shots. It’s easy solution for everyone who wants to stay away from constantly changing and playing between the camera settings.
Another important is fast autofocus mode, which can be the key feature for auto focusing enthusiasts.
The wireless functions, including NFC and Bluetooth are almost standard.
With this camera you can take beautiful portraits and striking intraoral pictures. For creative photographers it’s the model worth considering.
The camera body will be available from August 2017 and the estimated price is 1.999$ (body only).
Key features:
26.2 Megapixel Full-frame CMOS Sensor
Optical Viewfinder with a 45-point All Cross-type AF System1

Vari-angle Touch Screen, 3.0-inch LCD
Built-in Wi-Fi®2, NFC3, Bluetooth®4 and GPS technology
Nikon has announced (its midrange D7500 DSLR. While its design has been slightly tweaked, the big story is the features that have been inherited from the D500. It uses the same 20.9MP APS-C sensor, Expeed 5 processor and 180k-pixel RGB metering sensor, and is capable of capturing 4K video.
Nikon is keen to stress however that this new camera isn’t a direct replacement to the D7200 – which will continue to feature in the Nikon lineup – but rather slots in above it.
The main features of the new Nikon D750:
The quality of the pictures of the Nikon D500 flag model
The DX sensor with 20.9 MP resolution and EPEED 5 processor.
180k-pixel RGB image processing engine.
Phenomenal ISO sensitivity
Excellent performance in low light in the range of ISO 100-51200 expandable to 1640000 ISO equivalent. The Nikon D7500 is not afraid of the dark.
Excellent Advanced Scene Recognition system:
The 180k-pixel RGB metering sensor with Scene Recognition lays the foundation of the fantastic subject recognition.
