with the same autofocus and metering systems as the Professional d5 as well as a high sensitivity twenty point nine megapixel CMOS sensor a large tilting touchscreen and 4k video the $2000 Nikon d5 hundred almost hits the bull's eye for a modern DSLR for shooting action the cameras fast with continuous shooting that tests out as high as ten point seven frames per second with fast and accurate autofocus and auto exposure and the buffers big enough that I can't tell the difference between shooting JPEG and raw plus JPEG in bursts at maximum quality settings you will get noticeably better performance using an x QD card over the SD and high numbers apply to the d5 hundreds iso sensitivity as well you probably don't want to shoot a lot at its maximum 1 million 640,000 setting though the fact that it can even produce recognizable photos at that setting is impressive the photos general your excellent reasonably clean up through ISO 6400 and usable even higher it has great white balance and color accuracy with a good dynamic range for an aps-c sensor the 4k video is sharp too that you do see some noise at higher sensitivities overall there are a few artifacts the dust and weather sealed body has the typical streamlined nikon pro SLR design and tons of customization options only a couple of flaws knock the D 500 off course though the D 500 adds bluetooth for persistent wireless connections the company's app for remote shooting is really weak and Nikon has perpetually lagged in that area so I don't have high hopes for improvement the other disappointment is LiveView performance it's not bad it's just not as fast as it should be for the money and the autofocus isn't great for video you
