As might be expected, the D500 stands out from the D7200 and D300S in almost every way. Performance improvements include a very fast top frame rate with a huge buffer. The metering module is very high resolution compared to the older cameras and is also far more capable in low light. On paper, at least it has 3 stops greater sensitivity. This 1.5x crop in particular limits the Nikon’s appeal for filmmakers. Technically it does shoot 4K, but you would probably choose any one of a dozen modern mirrorless cameras in preference to this one for 4K video. This camera is often overlooked today. I get the sense that even Nikon wants you to forget it exists. After all, it was only released to sweep the D600 dust issue under the rug. Nikon - News - Digital SLR Camera D500". Nikon.

As you can see, FX is about 1.53× larger per dimension, which results in an area of about 2.34× the size.) You often have to hit OK after setting things, like MENU > Shooting > Image Area, otherwise the D500 ignores you. It's like Simon Says; if you don't hit OK after changing a setting, it is forgotten. No worries, just press the +/- button and dial-in whatever negative exposure compensation you need to make it look right. If it takes a stop or two, then that's the correct value to be use. Don't be shy. There’s a dedicated ISO button on the left of the top plate, as well as an AF-ON button for focusing. There are also 4 buttons in front of the shutter release that can be programmed to various functions, such as choosing an autofocus point or setting a specific aperture or shutter speed. 1.5x crop factor

Rejoice all Filipinos photographers – the long-awaited Nikon D500 has hit Philippine shores! Critically acclaimed as one of the finest APS-C cameras in the market, Nikon fans can be elated that the successor of the much-loved Nikon D300s is finally available locally. The D500 is a welcomed addition to sports, wildlife, event photographers with its super autofocus capabilities and shooting rate. Nikon D500 Philippines – Built for High-Speed Photography For portrait or wedding photographers who want Nikon’s best all-around camera at the moment, the Nikon D780 is the way to go. It’s a bit newer than most of Nikon’s cameras, so it isn’t selling as cheap as some of the others, but the price premium isn’t without good reason. The D780 is an excellent camera. DSLR advantages: Better value, better autofocus system, optical viewfinder, tried-and-tested design, and access to a much larger lineup of native lenses.

More buttons along the left of the camera, including a new programmable Fn2 button on the bottom left. Right now, Nikon is pouring a ton of energy into its full-frame mirrorless lineup. However, they have such a long history of making DSLRs that the DSLR lineup is arguably more refined at this point. If you're already in bed with the Nikon system ignore me, but if starting with a clean slate or not that much investment in Nikon, I'd get the 7D Mk II, and it costs less, too.Still, Nikon doesn’t have a single dud in its lineup. Even though the D610 is priced too high when sold new, it’s still a good camera: The last one Nikon ever made new is the F6. Released in 2004, the Nikon F6 is a flagship SLR with 11 autofocus points, 5.5 FPS shooting (8 FPS with a battery grip), and iTTL/high-speed flash sync support. The next step in Nikon’s lineup is an important one – the Nikon D7500. This camera has a much more advanced control system and better build quality, two things that pro photographers will find very useful. At defaults, the D5 will shoot all day with no card, making you look like an idiot if it was a wedding and you shot it with an empty camera. This D500 is also Nikon's best for birds. The cropped-sensor is a long-lens advantage over the D5, unless you have birds posing for you five feet away.

The touch screen works swell for zooming and scrolling, but you can't grab the navigation image and use it like Photoshop's navigator to scroll around the image as I would like. Power & Battery As for the other cameras here, the cheap Nikon A10 is a good choice to give to a kid for their first camera. And if you’re going on a trip where you’ll need a waterproof camera, the W300 and W100 are better than risking your phone to an underwater case. Other, Discontinued Cameras Nikon released the much-anticipated D500 for sports and wildlife shooters on January 6, 2016. Thanks to its excellent image quality, proven ergonomics and a superb autofocus system with a huge buffer, the Nikon D500 is a sports and wildlife photographers’ dream come true. US versions include two printed manuals, one in English (shown on right) and uno en español (a la izquierda).This simply refers to the camera’s sensor size. Sensor size determines image quality more than any other feature of the camera, especially something trivial like the number of megapixels. It’s why every current DSLR on the market will crush a smartphone in image quality. You can set the first three characters of the file name. I use "500" so I know they were shot on my D500. Nikon now calls their remote wireless flash control system "Advanced Wireless Lighting," or AWL, which now works wirelessly either optically or by radio. This makes the Nikon D500 quite affordable compared to other available wildlife photography cameras. Nikon overpriced the kit with 16-80mm VR lens at introduction in January 2016, but as of summer 2016 they fixed that and the kit with 16-80mm is a good buy. If you want the excellent 16-80mm lens, by all means get the kit.

Nikon generally positions its DX cameras as lower-end due to the smaller sensor, but the Nikon D500 is Nikon’s most advanced DX DSLR ever. It has the same autofocus system as the flagship-level Nikon D5, 10 frames per second shooting, dual memory card slots, and a large bufferthat allows you to take 200 images in a burst before the camera slows down. Nikon D500 + 400mm f/2.8 @ ISO 4500, 1/800, f/4.0 For on-camera flash, I use my old SB-400 since it's small and light. A midsize flash like the SB-600 or SB-700 is way more than enough if you want to look more intimidating or need a lot of flash power all day long. File formats include JPEG, TIFF, NEF (Nikon's raw image format compressed and uncompressed), and JPEG+NEF (JPEG size/quality selectable) In other words, so long as you stay away from the ridiculous High + settings, everything looks swell. If you need ISO 51,200, use ISO 51,200.These are Nikon's Ultra-Limited Edition 100th Anniversary DSLRs and Lenses". PetaPixel. February 27, 2017. Archived from the original on February 28, 2017 .

Battery life of just 470 photos (though this isn’t worse than typical Nikon DSLRs, when the DSLR is used in live view only) The D300 underwent a relatively minor refresh with the D300S in 2009, but after that Nikon seemed to abandon the idea, insisting that its D7000-series of enthusiast-focused DSLRs met the needs of the majority of enthusiasts. But in 2016 Nikon relented and, just in time for a summer of European Championship football and the Olympic Games, produced a genuine successor in the shape of the D500, alongside the professional Nikon D5, and with an astonishing set of specifications that are still impressive today.
