Although it costs us a bit to admit it, we are all a bit of a slave to marketing, all (or most), we are a bit of a Nikonist or canonist , a little bit, or at least we have been once. Some of you sure that you are very much, not in vain, are two great brands of cameras that have been innovating for a long time and betting on the quality of their products for photographers. The truth is that the tough competition between them and the updating of many other major brands has forced, in this case Nikon, not to lower our guard and offer innovation and the highest possible quality in each of their models. The Nikon D500 is no exception to that competitive search for quality. I already tell you. It is a camera lady, very, very lady, that is easily going to become a dark object of desire. Now, I also tell you, "They don't give four pesetas hard" that was said here, or what is the same , well and expensive, they usually go hand in hand, so if you want it, you will have to scratch your pocket. Let's see its main features.

ADVANTAGE
We have already commented on the main advantages of this camera, let's see them again:- The 153-point focus system is one of its main strengths. It is fast, accurate and of great quality, both automatically (even following moving subjects) and manual. This high quality focus system allows good results even in low light situations.
- The sensitivity of the sensor is also one of the highlights of this camera. It promises (and it seems that it also meets ) good results in a range of 100 to 51,200 ISO. Almost nothing.
- High quality videos.
- A very well built viewer .
- Folding touch screen and high resolution.
- Robust, comfortable and well finished design.
DRAWBACKS
- The only one I could find speaks about the connectivity system that works through Bluetooth through a SnapBridge application that allows you to control the camera from the Smartphone itself, as well as the transmission of data to it. The system is very interesting, because it also consumes less battery than the WI-FI system, but it is not as fast as one would like.
PRICE
Who warns is not traitor, I told you at the beginning of the article that we are talking about a professional camera, and professional cameras are expensive. If you can scratch your pocket and you will know how to get the most out of it, you have it on Amazon for some (price not available at this time) only the body. Ah, a note, that is expensive, does not imply that it is not worth every euroGALLERY
SUMMARIZING
The Nikon D500 is a great camera but that does not imply, much less, that it is your great camera. We have already repeated it sometimes on the blog. The most expensive is not necessarily the best for you. The best thing for you is to have a camera at your height, whatever it is. If you are starting, forget about it. HereWe recommend very good cameras to get you started in this wonderful world of photography. Do you want my personal advice? Do not think that by buying a professional camera you will make better photos, you will probably make them worse, because you will not understand anything of the millions of benefits that it has, it will weigh you more, the photos will occupy a barbarity, and a long etcetera of buts. Investing in something like that is risky, because many times when we get to "live up" to such junk, these are already somewhat obsolete. In my view, if you want to invest, do it in objectives and if you want to enjoy, forget about models, numbers and brands and go out to photograph with what you have. The camera is not important. Really That's it, I hope you enjoyed this article. If you know someone candidate to do it too, please share it on your favorite social network. Thank you and see you next time.
