Pick the Nikon Z fc if you want a lighter, more modern mirrorless body with faster burst shooting for 80 EUR less. The D7500 stays the better choice if you prefer the optical viewfinder, deeper grip, and longer battery life of a DSLR. Both deliver identical resolution and 4K video, so the decision hinges on form factor and shooting style.
