The D7500 was released 4 years later than the A99 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before delving through a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief summation of how the D7500 scores versus the A99 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Nikon D7500 and Sony SLT-A99. The complete galleries are available at Nikon D7500 Gallery and Sony A99 Gallery.

If you're going to lug around your camera regularly, you will have to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Sometimes, it's difficult to picture the difference in sensor measurements purely by seeing a spec sheet. The visual underneath will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the D7500 and A99.

Clearly, each of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The D7500 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Sony A99 will produce greater detail as a result of its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The newer D7500 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
