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...
Nikon appears to be on a mission to pack the best of everything into this camera, and by and large it has succeeded. It looks, feels and behaves like a quality piece of kit, it rarely keeps you waiting and it's unfazed by tricky shooting conditions. The s...

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 many -...
Same AF system as the top, end D5, 10fps shooting for 200 raw files, Metal, weather, sealed body
20Mp rather than 24Mp
At last Nikon has a professional-level APS-C format camera to replace the D300S and compete with the Canon 7D Mark II and it looks like a real contender with an impressive AF system and great low-light credentials...
The arrival of the D500 has caught many out by surprise, especially those who thought the next DX-format DSLR from Nikon might be the replacement for the entry-level D3300. With a good amount of time to get hands on and explore it, I can report that its a...
Cropped 4K video, Less than stellar video/Live View autofocus, Limited touchscreen functionality
The Nikon D500 is one of my all-time favorite Nikon DSLRs thanks to its excellent image quality and performance. Enthusiasts and even newcomers who want to step up to a higher end APS-C camera can do so thanks to its more affordable price.Although it’s mo...
