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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
