Been listening to some chat from people who have been lucky to get hands on. There are some very nice features especially for video users who want both stills and video. The camera can dump video to a connected external hard disk. The wifi and bluetooth (SnapBridge) connectivity has moved on a leap. Essentially the D500 is a D5 in a small body and with a DX sensor. The AF is also improved further over D3/D4/D810/D800, if you need more speed and tracking. This really a big jump forward from the D300S. Hmmmm, now to wait for the pricing and a hands on. I might be tempted to make an early trip to UK this year.

Bit late but they seem to have got it good! But for what I'm doing now the D5 is more interesting. The little Sony RX10 is my portable and very good happy snap camera producing high quality A3 prints good enough to use in entries at the local camera club.

UK Dealers are looking at £1750 or more as starting price, seems very high to me compared with the D7200 now at £750? I had expected £1400 to start with settling down to near £1200 for the top DX camera? I also see the D5 well over £5000 much as we all thought it would be to start with.

The 4K video isn't that hot, the crop factor on the D500 is 2.2x with a max shoot time of 3 min.

Whoopee... D500 for sure for me. I still use the D300s quite a bit but it is definitely long in the tooth at this point. Cheers, Tom

The D200 was £1300 recommended retail 2005. There has been quite a bit of inflation since then? I bought my D200 (new) for £750, mid 2007, about the time the D300 was released. The D500 is a considerable development from the D300, and light years from the D200. Effectively The D500 is a mini D5, most of the essentials i.e. the AF, are similar or identical.

Mike I am no video expert but the interview that I saw on DPReview with Mike Soares said that the video time was unlimited. He may have been talking about other than 4K video. It would be useful to provide a url of where some of this detail is coming from as it can be conflicting or poorly reported. We need to get hold of a user manual
