    This is an extremely nice camera. Bluetooth and WiFi...WOW! And the picture quality is great. The cycling speed is fantastic. I was one of the first to enter the DSLR camera market, those first ones were slow and cumbersome...this one is GREAT!

    Very nice upgrade to the D750. Video auto focus is so, so much better. Mirrorless might be ‘the thing’ right now (and the future) but the DSLR definitely is not dead.

    I have owned a lot of Nikon cameras. I was pleasantly surprised that this one is just as good if not better than some of the higher end models. I love the thumb switch for selection of the focus area. I hope all future models do this.

    Excellent camera for anyone looking for superb autofocus and blazing fast fps and endless buffer even with sd cards. Can be overwhelming for beginners specially without auto mode

    Best DSLR Ever made

    the Nikon D500 is the best DSLR ever made. The Build quality is outstanding, the AF System is lighting fast and the absence of LPF makes this PRO Camera the best of APS-C sensor.

    I just bought a full frame Nikon D750 and have to say I would rather use my crop sensor Nikon D500! It's not that the D750 isn't a great camera, it is, yet I feel like the D500 is and feels more like a high end professional camera. I can't really say anything bad about it. If your looking for a great crop sensor camera that feels and performs like a high end full sensor then I would seriously consider this purchase!

    Long time Nikon shooter has both DX (7000-7100-300-200)& FX (800e- 810- 600- 700)bodies. When you want to lighten the load some and still get performance the D500 coupled with better DX glass will not disappoint.

    This camera is awesome! I shoot my kids sports with this and it is amazing! Lightweight and very easy to learn! If you can let go of that kind of money for a very good camera it is a must buy! Very similar to top of line D5!

    I use this camera for landscapes and portraiture. The AF accuracy is astounding and the dynamic range allows for great color adjustments in LR. I have yet to test this for birding or sports but I know it can deliver.

    Pros - Great Body - Good battery life - Good ISO range - Good Grip Cons - there is nothing wrong with the camera, if i really have to pull up a con, it would be the strap - not a great fan of the new texture

    This is the best camera for high ISO performance that I have laid my hands on. Even when shooting upwards of 8000 there is very minimal noise occurring.

    It was a choice between this and the D850. This won because of the higher shutter speed and the lower price. Haven't had any issues shooting in lower light. Love it so far!
