The Nikon D500 is a 20.9-megapixel professional digital single-lens reflex camera using an APS-C sensor. It was announced by Nikon Corporation on 6 January 2016 along with the Nikon D5 FX format camera.[1][2] It replaced the D300S as Nikon's DX format flagship DSLR.

    • Of the 153 points, 55 are user-selectable; 35 of those points are cross-type, and 9 will work down to f/8.[3]
  • Focus points' low-light performance: -4EV (central focus point) and -3EV (other 152 focus points)

  • Live View Mode
  • Built-in sensor cleaning (using ultrasound) helps to remove the dust from sensor
  • 10 frame-per-second continuous shooting for up to 200 RAW images (14-bit lossless compressed RAW) and 79 RAW images (14-bit uncompressed RAW)
  • 3.2 inch 2,359,000 dots tilting LCD touchscreen
