The larger pixel size gives better noise performance , top brands channel best features semi-professional professional full-frame bodies.That said , great low-light crop-sensor options there.In particular , Nikon D7500 offers impressive low-light capabilities reasonable price ( all-around solid option ) .First , ISO range outstanding : ISO 100 ISO 51,200 , extension whopping ISO 1,638,400 ( ever use ) .ISO 1600 shows noise , nothing serious.Images ISO 3200 surprisingly good APS-C camera , even ISO 6400 usable noise reduction smaller print sizes.On Canon side things , 80D ’ quite match low-light performance Nikon D7500 still worth look.Images become noisy around ISO 1600 , increasing ISO 3200 beyond.I ’ also recommend checking new Canon 90D ; noise performance doubt scrutinized coming months , initial tests indicate 90D close equivalent 80D high ISOs .
