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: Excellent apsc reflex, fast autofocus and burst that stands out.

Cons: Nothing maybe the high iso.

Opinion: Excellent reflex camera recently purchased with a few thousand shots, it weighs just under a kilo and equally balanced. It must be added that to have maximum performance you need to use quality bright lenses and not bottle bottoms, the autofocus is fast and locks on to the subjects well. Another gem is the memory slot that uses speed xqd cards that empty the buffer in a short time. It is a small flagship also remembering that it is not a flagship but it is still a right.

Pros: Autofocus speed, ergonomics

Cons: High ISO Resistance

Opinion: I do birdlife, often in non-optimal light conditions with very fast shutter speeds and jagged backgrounds, it was important to hold high ISO, also to use apertures suitable for the lens in use, and unfortunately I must say that on this front it was a real disappointment. Already at 1100 there is a lot of noise, especially cropping. On the other hand, the autofocus is very fast, even if the possibilities offered by the menu are not always valid. Frankly, I expected much more
