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.

This camera is the best dx format camera Nikon has ever offered. Great low light capabilities. Focus system is fast and tack sharp. CH setting is lightning fast and the focus system will keep up.
The 20 mp is a great size. Not too small and not too large. If you would like the best bang for your buck this is a first tier contender.
The Snapbridge soft is not very easy to use and the documentation for it could be vastly improved.

This is my 5th Nikon. As far as I'm concerned the cameras and lenses are first class above the others. Upgraded from the D300 to the d500 and I'm totally satisfied

I own a D810 for my more demanding photos and purchased the D500 for my next trip whale watching. The added FPS should help capture more pictures.

Well made, solid DSLR, but mirrorless?

A very solid camera with all the capabilities and functions needed. I'm satisfied with this one. A major reason to go with this DX-type DSLR was that I had a few Nikkor lenses. Warn you that you need an external flashlight if you intend to take photos at night. Now the advent of Nikon's mirrorless, I wonder if my purchase was best for me (as a Nikon newbie).
