Customers are saying

Customers find value in the D500 DSLR Camera's superior image quality, fast frame rate, and excellent low-light performance, frequently praising its ability to capture sharp images even in challenging conditions. However, some users noted concerns regarding the lack of a built-in flash, battery life, and the cost and availability of XQD memory cards. The camera's weight was also mentioned as a potential drawback by a few users.

    Just read the reviews, it's all true. Replaces my D300 and now coupled with the Nikon 200-500mm, cannot get much better than that.

    Very impressive camera, the stats of 21MP and 10 FPS make this a great buy for the price, not to mention the 4k video.

    No regrets buying this camera and purchasing it from Best Buy. I had a few questions concerning the camera and the store clerk was knowledgeable, patient and courteous. The store also price-matches online competitors, which of course was a very welcome feature in shopping at Best Buy.
