The D500's robust build means it's more capable of withstanding heavy use than Nikon's existing DX cameras, and it can be used with confidence in poor weather. It's also great that Nikon enthusiasts now have a high-level camera they can upgrade to without
I only have a few relatively minor issues with the D500, and they're things I've complained about before with some other Nikons. It's high time Nikon streamlined its DSLR interface a bit, and sorted out the I/Info button issues, The Focus selector lock co
The D500 is an excellent camera, and one that will serve many enthusiasts well, giving them the first-rate systems they desire in a smaller, more affordable body than the D5.Many will be mulling over whether to go for the D500 or a full-frame camera like...
Abstract: The D500 is Nikon's fastest and best DX-format DSLR to date. Capable of shooting at 10 frames per second, it's perfect for action photography. Nikon's latest 153-point AF system provides very fast and precise focus, particularly with moving subjects. A ne...
From the moment I first used the Canon EOS 7D Mark II following its launch in September 2014, I thought it was a brilliant camera. With the exception of Wi-Fi connectivity, it had just about every feature I wanted in a tough, weatherproof body.Its blister...

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
The Nikon D500 is a DSLR with little compare. It steps up beyond the Canon EOS 7D Mark II (assuming that isn't replaced at Photokina 2016), while the range of Nikon DX optics will see it as the more practical solution compared to the Pentax K-1 for...
Expensive, but for the right pro, easily worth the money.I'm not going to mince words here: $2,000 is a lot of dough-even for a pro-grade camera. Where the D500 starts making perfect sense is in the context of its older sister, the queen of all the F-moun...
Nikon D500 – Performance and AF The D500 has 153 AF points, 99 of which are cross-type for greater sensitivity. Fifteen of the points are sensitive at f/8, which is great news for anybody who's using an extender or a long lens when photographing wildlife...
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
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...
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 ev...
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)
In recent years, photographers looking for a truly high-end APS-C DSLR for sports and action shooting have been more or less limited to Canons EOS 7D Mark II. But with the D500, Nikon has returned to this sector in fine style, and its combination of supe...
Amazing autofocus system, Excellent stills, very good 4K quality, ISO 1,640,000 max setting, Supports fast XQD storage format, Bluetooth pairing
Video AF could use more finesse
Camera reviewers tend to get jaded as we play with the latest toys all the time, often questioning whether a new product is as good as a company claims. Well, Nikon has certainly delivered a lot with the new D500. Given the quality of the stills, it hol...
