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

  • Of course
  • There's the great photo quality

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

  • The D500 is among the best DSLRs we've ever tested. Its strengths are its superlative autofocus combined with the ability to keep shooting at 10 frames per second. There are other APS-C cameras that offer similarly excellent image quality but none that of...

  • We were kept waiting a long time for the Nikon D500, but boy does it seem like it was worth the wait. If you are an enthusiast photographer looking for something which offers a heck of a lot of features, then the D500 is the ultimate camera for you. Prof...

  • Very good quality images from 20 Megapixel APSC sensor, 153-point AF system with very broad coverage and auto fine-tuning, 10fps shooting with deep buffer, especially with XQD cards, Large, bright viewfinder with LCD overlays, Tough weatherproof body, Sup
  • Poor movie autofocus, no focus peaking, no 1080 above 60p, Very basic smartphone remote control, SnapBridge bottleneck when shooting bursts or copying 20MP images, 4k video involves a tight 1.5x crop – a total field reduction of 2.25x, No truly silent sho
  • The D500 marks Nikon's welcome return to the high-end APSC DSLR market. The combination of a new 20 Megapixel sensor, 10fps continuous shooting, a deep buffer (especially if you're using XQD cards), and a new 153-point AF system shared with the D5, makes...

  • The Nikon D500's range of features and excellent performance make it the best APS-C DSLR you can buy.It's a chunky camera, designed to produce good images in a range of different conditions. Those experienced enough to be au fait with all the different se...
