Nikon D500 20.9MP DX DSLR
The Nikon D500 is a 20.9-megapixel DX-format DSLR built around a CMOS sensor and EXPEED 5 processor. It targets wildlife, sports and action photographers who need fast, reliable autofocus and a rugged body for demanding conditions. The camera ships as a body only, so lenses are chosen separately.
153-point autofocus upgrade
Moving from a camera with fewer focus points or slower tracking, the D500 adds a Multi-CAM 20K sensor with 153 focus points and 99 cross-type points. The jump is worth it when subjects move erratically across the frame and missed focus costs the shot. Photographers staying with static subjects or simpler scenes will not see the same benefit.
Dual-slot XQD and SD workflow
The body accepts one XQD card and one SD card, letting you separate overflow, backup or raw-plus-JPEG streams without changing media mid-shoot. A 3.2-inch 2,359K LCD with five brightness levels aids review in bright daylight. Built-in SnapBridge uses Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for wireless transfer, while a 3.5 mm jack supports an external microphone for cleaner 4K UHD audio. Buyers who need a second card slot of the same type or who rely solely on SD media should check compatibility.

Questions about this item
What size lens mount does the D500 body use for attaching Nikon F-mount lenses?
The camera body uses the Nikon F-mount, which accepts DX and FX format lenses; DX lenses cover the 23.5 mm x 15.7 mm sensor without vignetting.
How do I enable 4K UHD video recording at 30 fps on the D500?
Set the movie mode to 3840 x 2160 / 30 fps in the shooting menu, ensure an XQD card is inserted for the required write speed, and press the movie-record button to start.
When should I replace the EN-EL15 battery in the D500?
Replace the battery when a full charge provides noticeably fewer shots than when new or the battery info menu indicates degraded capacity.
