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.
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...
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...
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
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's D500 which was announced in early January at the same time as the D5 , is the long-awaited successor to the D300s and the new flagship in Nikon's DX line-up. Because they share so many features, the D500 can be seen as a mini D5.
I've had several Nikon DX bodies, this one is a game changer
After 6 years neglecting the power APS-C action photographer, Nikon released the mostly impressive D500 dSLR, the little sister to the pro full-frame D5 . With the same autofocus and metering systems as that model, a high-sensitivity 20.9-megapixel CMOS sensor, a large tilting touchscreen and 4K...
The Nikon D500 is fast with excellent continuous-shooting and autofocus performance; its 4K video support is a welcome novelty for its dSLR price class and; of course; there's the great photo quality
Terrible wireless file-transfer and remote-control app; and its Live View (contrast) autofocus could use a boost
After 6 years neglecting the power APS-C action photographer, Nikon released the mostly impressive D500 dSLR, the little sister to the pro full-frame D5. With the same autofocus and metering systems as that model, a high-sensitivity 20.9-megapixel CMOS sensor, a large tilting touchscreen and 4K video, it hits most of the essential targets for a camera in its class. Only a couple of flaws knock it slightly off course.
There's tons to like about the Nikon D500, from its fast shooting and excellent image quality to its broad feature set and streamlined design. But it still falls short with its Live View autofocus and seriously subpar wireless file transfer and shooting operation.

Nikon fans have been waiting years for a follow-up to the much-loved D300S , and now it's here – the Nikon D500. This camera sits at the top of the APS-C tree for Nikon, and while for some photographers full-frame is the ultimate aspiration, there are plus sides to a crop sensor.
