(Disclaimer: We were guests of Nikon, but all opinions are our own.) Along with the D500 body, we had access to a ton of lenses, as well the new Nikon SB-5000 AF Speedlight. We gave the camera a workout over several weeks – including a few days of training with Nikon experts in Palm Springs, California – shooting a variety of subjects. The 20.9MP D500 features Nikon’s new Expeed 5 image processor. Nikon offers a one-year warranty for parts and labor.

Unfortunately, it’s Android only at this point as the iOS version will be available later this summer, according to the company.

#NEWEST NIKON DSLR 2016 MANUAL#
There’s also a 400-page user’s manual for bedside reading this is a sophisticated piece of gear so checking out the manual is a great idea. You’ll find the body, strap, battery, plug-in charger, USB cable, cable clips, and caps. Given the fast burst rate and 4K video, a spare makes sense although we did make it through most days without the battery giving up the ghost. On the bottom is the compartment for the battery, which is rated a hefty 1,240 shots. There are three compartments on the left for USB 3.0, HDMI, mic and headphone connections.

We hope to see more manufacturers embrace this standard but right now it’s just Sony with a few pro camcorders, as well as Nikon with the D500, D5, D4, and D4S DSLRs. At no point were there hesitation in writing images to the card it was really impressive. This came in handy as we ripped off long bursts of 5,518 x 3,712-pixel stills, at 10 frames per second (fps). Nikon provided a 64GB Lexar XQD card (which sells for around $100) that’s rated 440MB/s, far quicker than the fastest UHS-II SDXC card. One slot accepts standard SD while the other supports the new XQD 2.0 format. On the right side is a compartment with two card slots, and it’s here that you get a better idea how advanced the D500 really is. There are myriad buttons flanking the LCD along, including the Live View controls for stills and videos. The optical viewfinder is also sweet with 100-percent coverage and 1x magnification it’s large, bright, and very comfortable to use.

The rear has a 3.2-inch tilting touch-capable LCD rated 2,359K dots, which is about as good as it gets in 2016. Nikon pulled out the stops for this APS-C DSLR and it really shows. There’s a jog wheel below the shutter and another on the back. On the grip are the shutter, power on/off lever, and buttons for video record, ISO, and exposure compensation. The top dial accesses Quality, Metering, Mode, and White Balance, while the bottom portion lets you quickly change burst and quiet modes, self-timer, mirror-up (to help minimize camera shake), and other settings. There’s a hot shoe (no built-in flash) and a two-tiered control dial. The top deck has a large LCD readout to quickly check your settings. There are a number of other controls on the front of the camera, but the most critical is focus control on the side of the mount (more on this later). During our tests we used fisheyes, 400mm telephotos, other primes, and a variety of zooms a 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED zoom was used most often as well as the 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED model. These are DX lenses, but the D500 will work with full-frame FX lenses as well. There’s no shortage of quality Nikon glass for the D500’s F-mount. This is no surprise as most weather-sealed DSLRs with magnesium alloy frames are quite substantial – the size and weight is similar to the full-frame D750. Add a battery and lens and the scales climb mightily. It’s big and bulky, measuring 5.8 x 4.6 x 3.2 inches and weighing about 27 ounces for the body alone. The all-black D500 looks like every other Nikon DSLR geared toward enthusiasts, including the red Nikon trademark on the grip and a faux-leather textured finish. When you’re in DSLR territory, stylish design is not an emphasis. Although the company has many more options with higher resolution, such as the D7200 (another APS-C DSLR we like), this one is so crammed with goodies it puts them – and many competitors – in the backseat. The 20.9-megapixel D500 ($2,000, body only $3,070 kit with AF-S DX Nikkor 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR zoom lens) is Nikon’s newest enthusiast DSLR and, to date, the best DSLR with an APS-C sensor (DX-format, in Nikon terms, versus FX-format for full-frame).
