Nikon D500 Establishes a New Era of Format Performance The Highly Anticipated Resurrection of the Format Flagship Gives Photographers the Best Combination of Speed, Reach and Connectivity The D500, a Format with pro-level features that gives photographers nimble handling, speed and extreme processing power in a compact and lightweight body. With amazing imaging capability, robust build quality and lightning fast performance, the D500 is sure to satisfy as the highly sought-after successor to the venerable D300S. Like its sibling the D5, the D500 benefits from Nikon's latest technological innovations such as the totally new, blazing-fast CAM 20K 153-point AF system and 4K video capture, yet adds a fun new way to share photos with Nikon built-in. Pro-Level Image Quality, Format Versatility The D500 imagines the best of both worlds, offering advanced enthusiasts and pro photographers all the benefits of Format, such as smaller form-factor and lens crop, combined with many of the same advanced pro features found in the new Nikon D5. The new Nikon D500 features an all-new 20.9 Format sensor that renders images with outstanding and gorgeous tonality. This new sensor is coupled with Nikon's new 5 image processing engine, affording low noise and maximum processing power with a surprisingly small footprint and superbly balanced body. The benefits of the Format are evident for long-distance applications like wildlife and sports photography, where telephoto ability is at a premium and weight reduction is welcome. With Nikon's legendary or smaller-sized Format lenses, the sleek D500 is the ideal companion for wanderlust. When mated with the new AF-S 200-500mm f/5.6E ED lens, the D500 offers a remarkable 350-750mm equivalent focal range for a lightweight, yet super-telephoto duo. Compatible Lenses: AF NIKKOR lenses, including type G, E, and D lenses (some restrictions apply to PC lenses) and DX lenses, AI-P NIKKOR lenses, and non-CPU AI lenses (exposure modes A and M only). Electronic rangefinder can be used with lenses that have a maximum aperture of f/5.6 or faster (the electronic rangefinder supports 15 focus points with lenses that have a maximum aperture of f/8 or faster, of which 9 points are available for selection). IX NIKKOR lenses, lenses for the F3AF, and non-AI lenses cannot be used.
