Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Nikon D500 DX-Format Digital SLR Camera (Body Only), Base: Unleashing Professional Photography by Jasmit Singh แ Œ

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent product, the best quality.

Despite the shortcomings, I really like the camera. I already have quite a lot of experience with Nikon cameras. There was D3000, D300, D750, D4 and actually D500. Now I have 500 and 750 in my arsenal. But still I like the 500 much more. She's faster, more predictable. The D750 is still ff, a more creative camera. But in terms of speed and convenience, it sharply loses to the D500. In general, if you want a reliable camera, then take it. Won't let you down!

Pros
  • 1) Autonomy of work at height. On a single battery charge, you can shoot more than 1200 frames at a leisurely pace. 2) Autofocus speed and accuracy! Usually when I sort photos, some frames often get into the "marriage" because they are out of focus. Immediately, the percentage of misses is so low that only a few get into marriage (and as a rule this is my cant) 3) Ergonomics. Everything convenient at your fingertips. No need to fiddle with settings. Top display, tons of customizable buttons + quick menu = all functions are always at hand. 4) Map XQD (it is also a minus). But this card is GORGEOUS! When you shoot on it, you just forget what a buffer is. For example, a bride is spinning in a dress, you do burst shooting, and then you look. did anything good happen in this series. The camera instantly saves everything and when you look at the frames, there are no sublags. Moreover, it doesnโ€™t matter if itโ€™s a series of 5 frames or 30. Everything flies onto the card so quickly that you donโ€™t even have time to shoot. 5) Folding + touch screen. It's comfortable. In general, the screen is very solid. It is always clear whether the exposure is correct, whether it is in focus, what is obtained in terms of colors. Yes, and from the top-bottom point it is very convenient to shoot. It is a pity, of course, that the screen does not rotate sideways, but I think this would greatly reduce the strength of the structure. 6) Camera body and dust and moisture protection. With such a camera, you can shoot in the rain and not worry about getting wet. I saw people who are directly afraid to get a camera even in a drizzle. Then just scored and shoot in any weather! 7) Video 4k. If you shoot in full HD, then an electronic video stabilizer is available, which by the way is not even bad. In fact, the camera has a huge number of pluses. For example, I have never regretted that I chose her.
Cons
  • 1) XQD Map! This is a rare format of memory cards, and in general they are expensive. Logic, using 2 types of memory cards (XQD and SD) is very stupid. Since it is difficult to guess which cards to take how much. 2) The camera is very expensive for a crop. For the same money you can buy a good FF. 3) The presence of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is not really necessary. Applications for the camera are so crooked that they can not be used. Is it to indulge. 4) Video. It seems that the quality of the video itself is good, but there is no focus picking and other necessary goodies for video operators. As a result, shooting a video is simply inconvenient. 5) No flash. Yes, a dubious minus, but there are times when external flashes (monoblocks) need to be set on fire with an impulse, but there is no such possibility in the camera. Always carry an external flash with you.
