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

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

  • Constant smartphone connectivity, snappy AF performance, excellent image quality and dynamic range, great in low light environments, comfortable ergonomics, strong battery life
  • 4K video is tightly cropped, AF video performance lags competition, fairly bulky, PRICE: $2,000
  • At nearly $2,000 for the body, the D500 is a pricey crop sensor option. It's double the price of Sony's a6300, which is another excellent camera for capturing fast-moving subjects. What's more, it's physically far larger than the a6300 with fewer video fe...
