When looking at the Nikon D500, you might expect it to be a much more expensive camera. It has great performance speeds, plenty of manual control dials, a high resolution tiltable LCD that has touch capabilities, and a high quality viewfinder.
Pros:
- Contains many features you'd expect to find on a more expensive DSLR
- High ISO performance is outstanding versus others in this price range
- Image quality is very good across a range of photographic conditions
- Camera's performance is very fast in Viewfinder mode
- Plenty of dials and buttons for...
Cons:
- APS-C sized image sensor can't quite match full frame sensors in image quality
- D500 carries a high price tag versus other intermediate DSLRs
- No built-in flash unit
- Menu interface needs to be upgraded and be more graphical to take advantage of touch screen
- Performance slows quite a bit in Live...

It's been almost seven years since Nikon's previous flagship DX-format camera was released, and it's fair to say an update was more than overdue. Those who have been waiting for a top-spec semi-pro DSLR will not be disappointed, as the D500 delivers on every front.

Nikon announced the D500 at this year's CES . This model is the long-awaited successor to the D300S, which was launched nearly seven years ago. Nikon has gone all-out this time, cramming in as many professional-level features as one could ask for in an advanced DSLR.
Pros:
- Excellent image quality
- Good low-light performance
- SnapBridge is useful
- Ergonomic controls
- 4K video support
Cons:
- Menu system lacks touch support
- No high-framerate video mode
- A bit heavy

Nikon D500 is a sport shooter's dream come true
Before knowing what I was doing, I had taken 10 photos with the new Nikon D500. The shutter speed was set for sports while the continuous shooting mode meant I didn't have to worry about missing a moment.

Nikon D500 DSLR Review
The Nikon D500 is the "little sister" of the company's flagship D5 professional DSLR system. The prosumer/enthusiast-focused Nikon D500 is the long-awaited successor to both the D300, which was shipped in 2007, and the upgraded D300S from 2009.

Built into the D500 is compatibility with Nikon's new radio controlled Advanced Wireless Lighting system. Using radio control technology, when combined with the optional WR-A10/R10 transceiver, the D500 can control and wirelessly fire the SB-5000 Speedlights from another room, around corners or...

Nikon D500 review
The D500 is a dream camera. It has a fast, effective autofocus system, 10fps shooting capability and first-rate metering and white balance systems. For the money, this might be the best digital SLR Nikon has ever made.
Pros:
- 10fps continuous shooting
- Huge raw buffer capacity
- Robust
- professional build quality
Cons:
- Live View autofocus improved but still hunts
- Highest ISO expansion settings show banding
- Expensive

Bad and Missing features
No fast recall modes for different camera setting; the D500 still uses Nikon's awful settings banks that take too long to select and don't recall all we need, like AF settings, anyway. The D7200, D610 and D750 are much better.

Excellent Wildlife Photography
This camera is fantastic for bird photography, which is what I do primarily. I am also able to use it to photograph families and landscapes as well, but the camera definitely is built for capturing animals on the move. Love it!

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.
