Pros: auto focus system, ergonomics, built quality, viewfinder, 10 fps, huge buffer.

Cons: no built in flash, no U1, U2 setting modes

Opinion: Shooting fast moving action is real fun with this camera. It is ergonomic and normally you will not miss the momment. High ISO capability helps a lot when the light is not enough, and I could say that I miss built in flash only in very specific situations. I had the D7100 which was fine but D500 is something else.. way better ... addiction!!!. I suppose that I will keep it for a long time. (shooting is just a hobby for me, I am not a pro) .

Pros: > 10 frames per second > Very deep buffer > Deep sinus in grip for fingertips...deeper than other Nikon DSLR's I have used.> The D500 and D5 have the best Autofocus among all DSLR's

Cons: 1. Omission of pop-up flash (big mistake Nikon). there are photographers who are not buying this camera because of the omission of the pop up flash.2. Should have made ENTIRE body of magnesium alloy

Opinion: Nikon needs to re-design the circular connection for the right angle finder so that it is not necessary to screw it onto the body. This is a very tedious process. It needs to be redesigned. The tiltable LCD is a wonderful addition. But in certain background colors, I often do have problems seeing the single focusing square in the center of the LCD. You overlooked that fact that there are people with color vision deficiencies that have trouble with those wavelengths. Perhaps it should have been blue. Nikon....do not even think about omitting the right angle finders. I favor the right angle finder over the LCD in many situations. Robert King :)

Pros: AF, 10fps, Image quality, High ISO & more.

Cons: Nothing really.

Opinion: I bought this camera as a replacement of my D7000.I do bird photography mostly and this camera just rocks!AF speed and accuracy is amazing, specially when combined with pro lenses.I shoot and follow swifts in air with this thing.Group area AF is excellent.Then you got 10 fps, bursts forever, never wait for the camera buffer, just shoot and shoot (if you need to in the moment).Then image quality, great colors and metering, excellent recovery of highlights and shadows in RAW.High ISO is also very, very good for a DX camera.And more - joystick for selecting AF points works like a charm, you got ISO button on the right side, everything is controlled with one hand, finally!Plus you got video, swivel screen, superb resolution on the lcd screen, backlit buttons and more and more.I know I sound like I work for Nikon, but no - the camera is just this good!

Pros: Ergonomics, AF speed, burst

Cons: LV

Opinion: Bought used here on Juza, it gave me great sensations right away. The ability to lock on to the moving subject (birdlife) and the burst stand out, clearly surpassed by the latest models, especially ML, but enough to take beautiful action photos. The use of the 4 banks for settings depending on the type of situation is very useful. Good but not excellent performance at high ISO but on the other hand it is an APS-C and then with the PP you can easily intervene when needed. The files it produces are nice and workable, excellent white balance. I would say that I am fully satisfied.

Pros: AF speed, materials, overall quality

Cons: Maybe the live view?

Opinion: I wanted to wait about 8 months from the purchase (and many motorsport events) before reviewing the D500 and now I can say that it is really a jewel. Even in the most complex / unexpected situations the AF is precise and fast, resulting in perfectly focused images with full-bodied colors and shadows that are never noisy. The ergonomics of the camera body is excellent and all the keys you need are there right where you need them. The monitor has an adequate touchscreen sensitivity, as well as the resolution. The only flaw, perhaps, is the live view not really up to par (quite slow) but at least in my case it is never a problem as I always shoot from the eyepiece. Despite not having an FF sensor, the images still enjoy limited noise compared to other Nikon APSCs, coupled with bright lenses the noise practically zero. Ultimately I am really satisfied with the purchase, so much so that I am thinking of buying an additional D500 as a second camera body. I believe that even in 2023 the D500 is the best compromise that can be purchased for sports photos in case you do not want or can switch to better but more expensive flagships.
