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
  • Its 4K video support is a welcome novelty for its dSLR price class and
  • Of course

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

  • Whichever way you look at it the D500 is, to all intents and purposes, an ‘APS-C' format D5. It borrows so much from the full-35mm sensor camera that the differences in performance – both camera-related and image-related – are negligible and, in fact, the...

  • 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...

  Published: 2016-07-14, review by: photoreview.com.au

  • The review camera fulfilled our expectations for a flagship APS-C DSLR camera and comes with most (if not all) the functions a serious enthusiast or professional photographer would require. In general, it's a worthwhile step up from the D300s it replaces...

  • Image quality is excellent with noisefree high ISO images. The ergonomics are the best and Nikon is providing a decent live view experience with limited touch screen functions. Tracking auto focus is very good.
  • Snapbridge is a clunky disappointment. Making a connection between camera and phone is difficult
  • The 12 megapixel D300 was released in 2007 and has stayed in production with minor upgrades, testimony to the soundness of the fundamental design. The D...

  • Same AF system as the topend D5, 10fps shooting for 200 raw files, Metal, weathersealed 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, Good low-light performance, SnapBridge is useful, Ergonomic controls, 4K video support
  • Menu system lacks touch support, No high-framerate video mode, A bit heavy
  • The D500 is priced at Rs. 1,32,950 for just the body, which puts it in the same ballpark as the Canon 7D Mark II and Nikon's very own D750. However, features like built-in Wi-Fi for SnapBridge, 4K video recording, and excellent burst shooting tilt the sca...

  • Excellent ISO performance, Fast, accurate autofocus, Bright, vibrant colours, 10fps continuous shooting is great for professional sports photography, Wide variety of connectivity options
  • Somewhat bulky, Battery life keeps dropping
  • The Nikon D500 is the best APS-C sensor DSLR camera in the present camera industry. It provides very good ISO performance, colours, sharpness and is a very fast shooter. If you are bridging the gap between professional and enthusiast levels of photography...
