Feature reductions

The following features, which are available for the D7200 and D500, and which typically target professional photography, have been removed, so that the D7500 is set off against the D500's and D7200's market segment: * No battery grip will be available from Nikon nor from 3rd parties as an accessory, due to missing connectors. There are 3rd party workarounds depending on connecting a thin and fragile cable, where daily usage could damage the cable and its connector sockets easily. * No dual memory card slot, which protected professionals against card failure losses * No metering supported for older manual focus Nikkor AI (non-CPU) lenses * No magnesium alloy used to strengthen the body internally, now substituted with "monocoque carbon fiber composite" * No 24 Megapixels (6000x4000), now 20.7 (5568 x 3712) (also applies to the D500 having the same sensor as the D7500) The D7500 shipped with firmware that only allowed for
