Shiny. We should know this upcoming week. Possible to hear about the 850 and 760 as well. There are 2 mirror less in the works as well.
Unconfirmed specs:

This is a crop sensor right? Basically the D500 with all those consumer scene modes? And maybe a built-in IR receiver for the cheap shutter remote?
ETA, looks like the command dial has two wheels like the 7100/7200. Tilt screen doesn't do much for me but some folks love it. I have come to sort of like the touch screen on the D500, though, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. If they offer this body at somewhere around $1k and it has framerates like the D500 it's going to be a fast mover. It's almost going to have to have an IR receiver because I don't see a 10-pin connector in the usual spot. And looks like they kept a built-in flash, good for the consumer market. |

I have the D7000 and this would be a nice upgrade. I do like the handy articulated screen on my D750 so that would be a plus.

Around $1000 sounds about right. It will NOT have the frame rate of the D500, probably 8 fps at best. No 10-pin port, that is only on the pro-body models. The consumer-config bodies will always have the built-in flash. |

I molested a D500 at Glazer's yesterday with my 24-120 f4 lens.
Damn good camera. Damn fast camera. That's probably my next body at tax time next year. The D7500 doesn't bring enough to the party for me. YMMV. |

The D500 is a speed demon and can produce some good images, but the 7200 has a higher resolution and yeah, pixels do matter to a certain extent. D500 is a smidge better in low light or when you are running high shutter speeds and have to crank the ISO, but not enough to make that a purchasing decision on its own. The D500 is a damn fine camera when used for what it's intended for, but as a general use camera, there are better DX alternatives. |

Moving from the D90 to the D500 was a night and day difference when shooting kids doing Taekwondo in poorly lit facilities (or, those that are poorly lit for photography). It is also a spectacular upgrade for indoor youth basketball (similar lighting challenges).
While I could have gotten by upgrading to the 7200, my wife talked me into buying a new cutting-edge camera instead of the 2 year-old model refurbs that have been my last two DSLRs. I have to say, the interface is very different between the lines, but in ways you don't first realize. -shooter |

You will love the D500, but only if you actually need the 10fps, endless buffer, and bitching autofocus. Fast action or birds in flight.

The puny buffer rears it's ugly head when shooting any action in RAW. I end up doing double taps or lowering the frame rate. 
A D500 and the 70-200 would be an awesome combo for action. FWIW a new D7500 is priced identical to a refurb D500. |

Here is some impressions from Ken Rockwell, some people hate him, some people love him; anything any body says should verified with other reviews.
Nikon D7500 - 21 MP DX, 8 FPS, 4K, Touch Flip LCD This new Nikon D7500 is a fantastic combination of the ultra high speed imaging guts of the D500 in the more practical body of the previous D7200.
The Nikon D7500 has the image sensor, light meter and processor of the top-of-the-line DX Nikon D500 and keeps the D7200's body, mode dial and AF system and adds Bluetooth, 4K video and a flipping touch LCD. The D7500 has the D500's same crazy expanded ISO 50 ~ 1,638,400 range, and bumps frame rate to 8 FPS from the D7200's 6 FPS, while it retains the D7200's superior mode dial with two programmable presets I find necessary for real-world photography, all for a very minor premium over the price of the old D7200. |

single SD memory card slot (just UHS-I, no support for UHS-II) But I guess their target market really doesn't care? |

A single card slot is a big step backwards. |

That whole single card slot and no option for a grip? Yeah, that isolates out quite a few people that might have bought this one.
The lack of support for older lenses will cancel out some as well. My D500 makes me plenty happy, I won't need another DX camera for a while. If I do need one, it sure won't be one of these.

If I had a nickle for every time I ran off and left a card in my computer after editing I'd have a D5.
A single card slot is a big step backwards. Now I transfer the contents to a flash driver, and also create a backup, saved my bacon a few times. You can never have too many backups. And also carry a spare blank memory card with me. |

As someone on another forum pointed out, the D7500 is probably not designed to complete with other Nikon cameras, but rather, the EOS 80D. And the D7500 wins big, when it comes to the important specs. Better AF with more points (51 vs 45), higher frame rate (8 vs 7), higher ISO rating (51,200 vs 16,000), and better video (4K vs 2K). Plus, they both use a single UHS-I card slot.
I can't imagine Nikon would want to build a DX camera that would take sales away from the flagship D500. |
