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.

    Focuses very well and quickly in low-light situations. There is a bit of a learning curve in setting up the settings, as there are no canned settings (like the D7000 series).
