Review on πŸ“Έ Nikon D500 DX-Format Digital SLR Camera (Body Only), Base: Unleashing Professional Photography by Liang Chi-en ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I was surprised by the quality for the price.

Prior to that, I shot on the D80 for 8 years, assembled a fleet of FF lenses and planned to switch to full frame. But Nikon could not offer an adequate FF. either a bunch of megapixels, or weak AF. Or an amateur device with a large matrix . And then suddenly the D500 came out, I did not expect it and did not follow the news on this market. Autofocus, swivel screen, rate of fire, moisture protection. Portrait photography is not the main indicator, but the focus on sports and photography of wild animals has become a decisive factor.

Pros
  • Speed, ease of use, body ergonomics, touch screen, button illumination. Focusing is lightning fast. I have fairly large hands and small cameras such as the D7100 bkb D610 are extremely inconvenient for me.
Cons
  • Issues with the snapbridge app. If you do not turn off WI FI or Bluetooth, then it will quickly land the battery. XQD cards cost like a good used DSLR. It would be better if there was a choice of slots like on D5. I don’t know what the catch is, but the connection with the smartphone "xiaomi redmi not 3 pro" is constantly disconnected. At the stage of acquaintance, everything was fine, the pictures were transferred to the smartphone via WI FI and bluetooth, but after a while they stopped connecting via WI FI, neither camera control, nor image transfer . I send 2MP pictures to my smartphone via bluetooth.
