At last the Camera that we have been waiting for

Took it out yesterday, straight out of the box and I was immediately impressed by the speed and ease with which it locked focus on my running, chasing lurchers and some birds buffeted by the winds. This, combined with excellent fps speed is great for my work.
Pros:
  • Amazing Autofocus
  • Easy To Use
  • Good Fps
  • Great Image Quality

DP Review
10 years ago

The D500 is among the best DSLRs we've ever tested. Its strengths are its superlative autofocus combined with the ability to keep shooting at 10 frames per second. There are other APS-C cameras that offer similarly excellent image quality but none that offer the speed, ergonomics and dependability...

Nikon D500

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.

D500 - is it worth it

Well, even though I think it's overpriced ( that's Nikon Aus for you) I think it is worth the money if you take a lot of sport or wildlife shots. Though I haven't had it long, I can say I'm very impressed images made with the 200-500mm F5.6 attached. Even small crops seem very sharp.

Nikon D500

The wait for a modern, pro-grade, APS-C Nikon camera is over. The D500 ($1,995.95, body only) is the replacement for the ancient D300S , and as you'd expect with a seven-year increment between releases, the D500 ups the ante considerably.
Pros:
  • Solid build
  • Advanced, edge-to-edge autofocus system
  • 10fps capture with tracking focus
  • Large buffer for extended shooting
  • Superb high ISO image quality
  • Clean HDMI output
  • Excellent control layout
  • Tilting touch-screen LCD
  • Dust- and weather-resistant design
  • XQD and SD card slots
Cons:
  • Snapbridge wireless transfer needs some work
  • 4K video is cropped
  • Omits built-in flash

Nikon D500 Review

The Nikon D500 puts the company's finest autofocus system in a tough, compact SLR body that will please demanding enthusiasts and pros alike. The wait for a modern, pro-grade, APS-C Nikon camera is over. The D500 ($1,995.95, body only) is the replacement for the ancient D300S , and as you'd expect with a seven-year increment between releases, the D500 ups the ante considerably. The highlight of the 20.9-megapixel SLR is an autofocus system that covers the sensor horizontally from edge to edge, and is able to track moving action while firing off images at 10 frames per second. Add features like 4K video capture and a tilting touch-screen LCD, and you've got a camera that will make photographers invested in the Nikon system quite happy. The D500 is a top-end performer in almost every regard, replacing the Canon EOS 7D Mark II ($1,499.00 at Dell) as our Editors' Choice for enthusiast and professional APS-C SLRs. DesignWith the rise of affordable full-frame camera models, including Nikon's entry-level D610 and midrange D750 ($1,596.95 at Amazon) , some photographers, especially those who feel they've outgrown starter model...
Pros:
  • Solid build
  • Advanced, edge-to-edge autofocus system
  • 10fps capture with tracking focus
  • Large buffer for extended shooting
  • Superb high ISO image quality
  • Clean HDMI output
  • Excellent control layout

  • Snapbridge wireless transfer needs some work
  • 4K video is cropped

Nikon D500 review

The D500 marks Nikon's welcome return to the high-end APSC DSLR market. It's been a considerable six and a half years since its predecessor the D300s, leading many to believe Nikon had abandoned this category, conceding it to Canon's EOS 7D series.
Pros:
  • Very good quality images from 20 Megapixel APSC sensor
  • 153-point AF system with very broad coverage and auto fine-tuning
  • 10fps shooting with deep buffer
  • especially with XQD cards
  • Large
  • bright viewfinder with LCD overlays
  • Tough weatherproof body
  • Superb controls including AF joystick and...
Cons:
  • Poor movie autofocus
  • no focus peaking
  • no 1080 above 60p
  • Very basic smartphone remote control
  • SnapBridge bottleneck when shooting bursts or copying 20MP images
  • 4k video involves a tight 1.5x crop – a total field reduction of 2.25x
  • No truly silent shooting
  • Expensive if you don't need top-end...
