TO everyone’s amazement, shortly after revealing its flagship FX-format camera, the D5, Nikon used CES to announce a new DX- format camera, the D500.
Chief among its features is the same 153-point AF system as the D5, with 99 cross-type sensors. With the Nikon D500, AF capability can also be extended down to -4 EV with the central point and -3 EV with all other points. The new Expeed 5 image-processing engine helps deliver high-quality images from a native sensitivity range of ISO 100 up to 51,200 (expandable to ISO 1,640,000 at the Hi 5 setting).
The Nikon D500 can also record 4K UHD (3,840 × 2,160)/30p/25p/24p as well as 1080/60p video for up to 30 minutes, with simultaneous output via HDMI. It’s also possible to generate 4K UHD time-lapse…
