Semi-professional SLR with 21 MP APS-C sensor. The light sensitivity of the matrix was ISO 100 – 54,100 (with a software extension — an impressive ISO 50 – 1,640,000). Phase detection autofocus, as in the more expensive Nikon D5, 153-point with 99 cross sensors. The Expeed 5 processor provided continuous shooting at a speed of 10 fps, video recording is also supported up to 4K resolution (30 fps). The viewfinder covers the frame 100%. The additional equipment of the Nikon D500 digital camera is also impressive: a movable touch screen (3.2"), USB 3.0 connectors, mini-HDMI, two 3.5 mm (for headphones and a microphone), as well as wireless modules Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth The latter is used, among other things, for SnapBridge technology (continuous transfer of photos and videos from the camer...a to a smartphone or tablet).The body of the device, made of magnesium alloy, is protected from dust and moisture.

Video reviews

A true flagship among crop cameras, it bears the well-deserved title of “the best DSLR for photo enthusiasts”. And you can't argue with this statement.

153 AF points

The main highlight of the camera is the autofocus system, borrowed from the top professional Nikon D5 DSLR. Autofocus has 153 points, 99 of which are cross-shaped. Considering that the system was originally developed for a full-frame matrix, on crop it covers almost the entire field of the frame. Another important feature related to autofocus is called Auto AF Fine-Tune. Its meaning lies in the possibility of in-camera calibration of the focus module for a specific lens, which allows you to completely get rid of back and front focus — the eternal misfortune of all DSLRs.

Record ISO

No less respect deserves the range of sensitivity. If in normal mode it is no different from the solutions of rivals in the class (100-51200 ISO units), then in the extended mode it has no competition at all — among consumer cameras, shooting at maximum ISO over 1640000 units is given only to the full-frame flagship Nikon D5.

Speed indicators

The high speed of continuous shooting (10 fps) and a capacious memory buffer (up to 200 RAW-shots) make sports journalists and fans of the reportage shooting genre look at the camera. They will also appreciate Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and NFC wireless connectivity, which makes it much easier to quickly transfer footage to a compatible device for post-production or post-production.

4K video

The DSLR received an atypical for its class ability to record 4K video. Usually, the prerogative of recording video in ultra-high resolution was given to mirrorless cameras. When recording videos, it is convenient to look at the rotary 3.2-inch display and tap on it to change the main shooting parameters. Naturally, to get high-quality sound, the camera has in its arsenal ports for connecting an external microphone and headphones.

On high

The list of advantages of the top crop should also include long battery life — one charge of the built-in battery is enough for more than 1200 shots. Perhaps the only drawback of the camera is its price. But you have to pay for quality, and in this case it is on top.

Reference. Back focus is an oversight of the autofocus system, in which the camera focuses behind the subject. Front focus is exactly the opposite, i.e. focus occurs in front of the subject. Both phenomena are inherent exclusively to DSLRs and appear the stronger, the higher the aperture ratio of the optics used.
