Reviewer score 83% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from cameralabs have found:
The D500 marks Nikon's welcome return to the high-end APSC market. 20 Megapixel sensor, 10fps continuous shooting, deep buffer and 153-point AF system make for a supremely confident camera. Sports and wildlife photographers will love the D500 which is arguably the most confident APS-C DSLR to date.
Pros
  • Fantastic image quality
  • High resolution tilting touchscreen
  • 10fps continuous shooting
Cons
  • No 4k video
  • SnapBridge bottleneck when shooting bursts or copying 20MP images

Reviewers from tomsguide have found:
The Nikon D500 is one of the first DSLRs to offer 4K video. Native ISO ranges from 100-51,200 and is expandable to a low of 50 and a high of 1,650,000. Even at ISO 6400, the D500 kept image noise to a minimum. Autofocus is less speedy when using Live View.
Pros
  • Excellent image quality
  • Built-in stereo microphone
  • Fast autofocus
  • 10fps continuous shooting speed
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • Autofocus is slower than expected
