Abstract: In part 2 of our “best lenses for the Nikon D500” review, we look at some of the highest-scoring DX-format zoom lenses. There are many more DX zoom lenses available for the D500 compared to primes. Zooms are a more popular lens choice for many APS-C shoot...
Higher price than MLICs with comparable specs, Zoom in and zoom out buttons, Live view must be turned on in video or photo mode
The Nikon D500 takes beautiful pictures and shoots great looking video. As of now, it's the only DSLR that shoots 4K in its price range, however it's much more expensive than mirrorless cameras with similar capabilities. Overall, we would recommend the D5...

Abstract: The Nikon D500 is a digital SLR with an APS-C-sized sensor (20MP), very fast AF system, and many very handy features. Some elements of the high-end system D5 were transferred to this prosumer camera. Lab Review lab tests and comments supplied by BetterN...
APSC = free telephoto effect, High image quality, in particular the dynamic range, Lightningfast AF and a great many frames per second, Everything is on it, Very bright, Filming in 4K
APSC = less wideangle effect, For an APSC camera, big and heavy, No builtin flash, Not inexpensive
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...
Great build quality, High reliability, Image versatility so good that you can always afford to mess up providing you know what the heck you're doing with metering, Fantastic kit lens,
While Nikon could be accused of chasing headlines with the D500 and D5's sensitivity expansion settings, the results from the native sensitivity range are very good, giving photographers plenty of scope for low-light shooting. In addition the D500's autof...
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 Viewfin
APSC sized image sensor can't quite match full frame sensors in image quality, D500 carries a high price tag versus other intermediate DSLRs, No builtin flash unit, Menu interface needs to be upgraded and be more graphical to take advantage of touch scree
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. But the one...

Detractors might cite the D500's lower pixel count over the Nikon D7200 as a step backwards, however, the new 20.9-Mpix sensor has enabled a phenomenal 10 fps maximum capture rate along with a decent-size 200 RAW (14-bit lossless) frame buffer — one of th...
