Truly great...
12 of 13 found this helpful I had been considering stepping up to FX format from a D7100 in the quest for better image quality but the D500 seemed to tick boxes in many areas [I mainly do outdoor plant / nature photog. and a lot of Macro work].
I've only had the camera a few weeks but the image quality (sharpness certainly) I feel is noticeably better than the 7100. The fast focussing system is great for shooting plant foliage which constantly moves with air movement, while the fantastic screen / viewfinder coverage of the auto-focus system means that focus-recompose is unnecessary on many shots, and has proven to be a real boon when doing table top still life work. Which reminds me of another item... there's no built-in flash with the D500... not that I'd use it since I use triggers with multiple speedlights for t/top work.
The 10fps continuous shutter speed is advantageous in outdoor circumstances where I am trying to shoot moving foliage. In the past I would have to wait minutes for the ebb and flow of breezes to subside to be sure of getting a precisely focused image. Now, with full burst mode combined with focus tracking, that issue is less of a problem.
Haven't had need of the high native ISO capability but it's good to know it's there if I had a tricky shots to do in dark outdoors circumstances.
Ergonomically well laid out, and if you are used to Nikon's other D series cameras you will feel at home with the menu system. Haven't really used the touch-screen, which some folks complain about not being fully touchscreen for menu selection etc. Live with it, it's not a problem.
Two pernickety things... my old digital shutter release [with micro usb type connector] is no longer catered for, in terms of sockets - at least as far as I can see. While the new form of RAW file (which I always shoot in) was not compatible with Lightroom 5.7x and for viewing with other Windows 8.1 Pro bits of software. However, Nikon released a codec update in May '16 which fixed the problem (avail. on Nikon Europe website certainly).
Like all cameras, and lenses too, you need to choose according to your shooting needs. For me the D500 ticks useful boxes for what I do, while offering some really stunning performance attributes behind the scenes.
