Core specification

The Nikon D500 is a DX-format digital SLR body built around a 20.9 megapixel CMOS sensor and the EXPEED 5 image processor. It delivers a native ISO range up to 51200, expandable to 1640000, and shoots continuously at 10 frames per second for up to 200 frames. The Multi-CAM 20K autofocus system provides 153 focus points, supported by an 180k-pixel RGB sensor and Group Area AF.

Intended user

This camera suits photographers who need fast burst rates and a dense autofocus array for sports, wildlife or action work in a crop-sensor body. The tilting 3.2 inch touchscreen and 4K UHD video at 30 fps also serve hybrid shooters who want movable composition angles. Buyers who require a full-frame sensor, higher pixel counts for large prints, or dual card slots should consider other models.

System fit

The DX format allows the use of smaller, lighter NIKKOR DX lenses, reducing overall kit weight for travel. Built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC enable direct image transfer to computers, smartphones or tablets via SnapBridge. The body accepts an EN-EL15 battery and includes an HDMI cable clip for external recording monitors. In-camera time-lapse recording supports sequences up to 9999 frames.

Questions about this item

What lens mount does the D500 body use so I know which NIKKOR lenses fit?

The D500 uses the Nikon F-mount, compatible with DX and FX NIKKOR lenses; the 20.9MP DX sensor works with the full NIKKOR line.

Will my older AF-D NIKKOR lenses autofocus on the 153-point Multi-CAM 20K system?

AF-D lenses will autofocus because the body has a built-in focus motor; all 153 points are available with compatible lenses.

How can I confirm the 10 fps burst is capturing all frames at full 20.9MP resolution?

Check the frame counter during a burst — it will count up to 200 frames — and verify each file is a 20.9MP NEF or JPEG on the memory card.
