Reviewer score 86% (normalized by Neofiliac)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
