Finally upgraded from my D300 to the D500. The camera is awesome! The new sensor, camera burst capability with a XQD card, the addition of Blu Tooth and Wifi equip the camera with an unbelievable depth of capability!

Too many to list

Plan on purchasing a 3rd Party book to become proficient with the cameras capabilities

Pros: Cons: Other thoughts:

While not a compact DSLR, the Nikon D500 offers a lot of imaging capabilities in its rugged, pro-oriented camera body. It also has a very good 153-point AF system, fast continuous shooting performance and 4K UHD video recording, making it one of the most capable, well-rounded DSLRs that Nikon has...

Superb image quality; Great high ISO performance; Rugged, comfortable camera body; Sharp articulating touchscreen display; Excellent AF point frame coverage; Fast continuous shooting speeds; 4K UHD video; Built-in Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth

Somewhat large for an APS-C camera; Expensive for a DX camera; 4K UHD video doesn't offer full DX field-of-view; No built-in flash; Still uses contrast-detect for Live View AF; Dual slots use two different card types (XQD and SD)

It's been a long time since Nikon launched the D300, a camera that arrived at roughly the same time as the very first iPhone. Yep, that long ago. That camera's successor, the D300S, hit the market last decade too.

Fully realised autofocus system; fast shooting and huge buffer; great image quality; smaller and more manageable than D5; tilt-angle touchscreen; ups its video capabilities (including 4K

"Hi" ISO settings aren't useful - they're just headline grabbers; screen isn't fully variable; touchscreen inaccessible for menu controls

Back in 2007, Nikon unleashed a pair of DSLRs that revitalised its line-up and re-established the company as being at least on a par with its rival Canon. The professional-level D3 was its first full-frame model, with super-fast shooting and an impressive 51-point AF system.

Remarkable autofocus system; Excellent build quality and handling; Fine image quality at both low and high ISO settings

Large and heavy compared to APS-C peers; Much less capable when used in live view; SnapBridge connectivity doesn't work well (yet

The D500 is Nikon's new flagship DX-format (APS-C) camera. We were waiting a long time for Nikon to produce an update for the D300S, so much so that it has skipped a number and gone straight to D500.

Still getting used to using the D500. Coupled with the 200-500 Nikon lens, I've had some very pleasing results thus far. The kit lens has also produced some outstanding photos. Very good service from JL using click and collect from Waitrose.

Bought it for my upcoming trip , great purchase and good image quality

If you know anything about cameras you will have probably heard how good this camera is Well all I can say is it's better then I ever expected

The Nikon D500 is an unexpected entry into the digital camera market. It appears as a full-frame sized and priced APS-C DSLR that justifies its existence by an unrivaled 153-point Phase-Detect AF system and 10 FPS continuous drive that can sustain 200 frames, be them JPEG or RAW.

Clean JPEG images; Exceptional dynamic-range until ISO 800; Ultra-fast autofocus with nearly total coverage; Extremely sensitive AF; Fast continuous drive with deep buffer; Highly responsive; Ultra-short black-out; Good color-accuracy; Flexible self-timer and exposure delay; Built-in OVF shutter,...

Metering issues; Poor Automatic White-Balance in low-light; Some key features buried in Menu; Bizarre Auto ISO; Poor Live-view implementation; 1.5X crop for 4K; Flex in LCD hinge; Bulky for APS-C; Asymmetric memory-cards slots; Short battery-life; Full-Frame Price
