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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thing for the money, I'm glad I chose this option.

I wanted to sell and buy 850. But I carefully looked at the comparison of pictures of these cameras. 500 is not worse even at ISO 6400. You just need to set the Standard and shoot in RAW. This is a D700 and "bricks" like D3s give out a ready-made jeep "on the mountain" "piping hot" . The Sigma 17-50 2.8 lens came up. The picture is sharp. Also Tamron 24-70 2.8 is great, shot by me from the D700 camera. The verdict is a camera for those who shoot dynamics - sports, cars, children's games, flying birds. If you are shooting landscapes, take a different camera. Who complains about the card, which is expensive - so what. Bought and forgot. But you get speed and a huge buffer. You get confidence that nothing will happen, everything will be on the card. The ideal option is to have both the D500 and D850. But it bites.

Pros
  • I shoot sports - athletics. Took a pair for D3s. Nikon D500 has incredibly tenacious autofocus. Huge buffer margin, which is impossible to fill even when shooting 10 frames per second at max RAW + jpg size. The battery perfectly holds 2 hours with 1000 shots. Filmed a 10km race 2 days ago. Shot 1000 frames. The battery is holding. 2 memory cards. Even with an SD card, the Ravami-filled buffer still runs at 1 frame per second. Buttons glow in the dark. Very nice and comfortable. The screen is bright and juicy picture and O miracle - leans back! Sturdy, powerful body. Main advantage - Autofocus. Doesn't miss at all. People run at you in a group - speed 10 frames - all frames are in focus, where the AF point is. This can only be achieved on "bricks" . And this is a crop. The video shoots great. But, of course, there is no AF speed, everything is slow, as if it were a 1990 VHS video camera. There is a microphone input. Everything is working. There are also microphone settings.
Cons
  • Lying with exposure. It does not level the picture like 700 or even Olympus twice crop. Overexposure on the forehead constantly. It is treated with aperture 8. But if there is little light, nothing can be done. When developing DRL, the default red looks sometimes poisonous and repulsive. And yes, the camera is "big, black and heavy." Not for women's hands.

Correct the description about "amateur SLR camera"
