The editors liked

  • 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)
  • 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
  • 10-fps burst shooting
  • Weathersealed
  • 4K video
  • The Nikon D500 is fast with excellent continuous-shooting and autofocus performance

The editors didn't like

  • “Hi” ISO settings aren't useful - they're just headline grabbers
  • Screen isn't fully variable
  • Touchscreen inaccessible for menu controls
  • 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
  • None that we could find
  • Terrible wireless file-transfer and remote-control app
  • And its Live View (contrast) autofocus could use a boost
  • 20Mp rather than 24Mp
  • Large and heavy compared to APS-C peers
  • Much less capable when used in live view
  • SnapBridge connectivity doesn't work well (yet)
  • Expensive for an APS-C camera
  • Video AF could use more finesse
  • APS-C format sensor
  • Screen not articulating

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • “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 -...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Excellent image quality, Responsive performance, Good low light capabilities, Dual card slots, Built-in time-lapse
  • 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...

  • 10fps continuous shooting, Huge raw buffer capacity, Robust, professional build quality
  • Live View autofocus improved but still hunts, Highest ISO expansion settings show banding, Expensive
  • 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. Its 4K video, high-tech autofocus an...
