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
  • There's the great photo quality

  • End D5
  • 10fps shooting for 200 raw files

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

  • Abstract:  The arrival of Nikon's D500 has been a long time coming. The last professional-grade D300s was out back in 2009, and if you consider that as a minor update to the D300, the range has taken more than nine years to update since 2007.So, the preview that Nik...

  • La qualité photo excellente, les performances remarquables en mise au point automatique et en mode rafale, la prise en charge de la vidéo en Ultra HD qui est une nouveauté très appréciable sur un reflex numérique de ce niveau de prix
  • L'application mobile pour le transfert des fichiers et le contrôle à distance, la mise au point automatique du Live View
  • Le D500 possède de très nombreux atouts, tant au niveau de sa qualité d'image excellente que de sa vitesse, de ses fonctionnalités et de son design bien pensé. Mais il pêche tout de même en ce qui concerne la mise au point automatique de son Live Vi...

  • Véritable machine de guerre photographique, le D500 nous a vraiment enthousiasmé tellement le feeling propre à un appareil pro est présent. Capable d'accrocher n'importe quel sujet (quand on sait quel AF choisir !) et débitant des images à la vitesse de l...
