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: AF (all that is this compartment), Robustness and Ergonomics, White Balance, ISO Sealing, Image Quality, How the Menu is set

Cons: I found no flaws. If we really want the hair in the egg, touch screen I would have preferred it also in the menu.

Opinion: I bought this car a year and a half ago and for now I can only speak well of it because of the many satisfactions it gives me. Initially I took it to take sports photos of dogs, of which we know all the strengths, which I will not list, on this field. This camera in my opinion does not excel only in the sports / wildlife field, also used for other photographic genres pulls out beautiful files, with a high image quality, colors and a white balance more than excellent, an iso seal that up to 2000 is non-existent and usable safely up to 6400, over 6400 I never went because I have never needed it yet. As a threshold, however, you do everything just match the right quality optics. For now I have used it combining it with the Nikon 16-80 2.8-4 and the Sigma Sport 70-200 2.8 and it is exceptional with both lenses, later I already have in mind what other lenses to match for the photographic genres that interest me. This jewel of a machine I think I intend to keep it for many more years and use it in various fields, given the reliability that transmits to you just holding it, up to the general quality and files. Does it make sense to take it today? In my opinion yes because if you know the qualities and potential of this wonder, you do everything and you are fully satisfied, you also have access to a very large optical park.

Pros: AF coupling and sealing, buffer, shutter, materials used and assembly

Cons: It has no cons if you know what you buy

Opinion: Does it make sense to talk about the D500 in 2023, with production now ceased? I think so, since it is the best apsc SLR ever produced and having the security that it will never be surpassed, producing an ML costs a quarter and those of Nikon do not have the nose ring. Many D7500 owners optimistically claim that the two SLRs are almost the same but this is just wishful thinking, the D500 is unique. The many reviews prior to mine already exalt features such as AF, buffer, shutter, build quality, so I do not waste time repeating them. Some pious souls, however, have gone out of their way to praise the high ISO, and here we must take stock seriously. With its 21 mpxl and with that expeed that is found the D500 would have excelled even on high ISO but then would have gone into competition with the D5. At this point the ISO have nicely cut them at the level of sw adding a progressive dose of noise from about 2400 upwards. I recommend those who use the automatic ISO to calibrate the maximum to 3200 and use the 6400 (however fully exploitable) only for emergency. I also recommend the use of the battery grip - possibly the original MB-D17, unfortunately expensive - both because the jewel loves to consume power (and in the BG you can use the EN-EL 18), and because the best grip will be very useful for the predictable use with long burners. By the way, with the PF 300 and 500 it forms an incredible combination, super manageable, and returns beautiful rows, but even with the heavy 200-500 comes out a good match for sports and birdlife! For general shots I use instead the excellent coupled Art 18-35 and 50-100, stuff at these levels at Nikon I have not found. Unfortunately Nikon has never intended to develop excellent lenses for apsc, unfortunately their catalog is reduced to a host of plastics not worthy of so much SLR. What can I say, to close I dispassionately recommend the purchase on the used of this jewel, just use it a couple of hours to realize that in terms of apsc there is no better!
