A fine choice for shooting sports and wildlife
D500 is Nikon’s current flagship APS-C DSLR. As such, it sits directly above the more recent D7500, which actually borrows a number of its more expensive sibling’s core specifications and features. These include the same 20.9-megapixel sensor, EXPEED 5 image processor, and 4K movie abilities.
However, there are quite a few differences between the two. Despite being slightly older, the D500 has an advantage over the D7500 in several departments, especially in terms of its more advanced autofocus system (153 AF points vs 51 AF points), faster continuous shooting speed (10 fps vs 8 fps), and higher buffer performance.
Overall, the D500 serves as a timely reminder that while the full-frame might be desirable, there is still a place for APS-C cameras, especially for those who value high-speed continuous shooting action sequences. As such, it is an ideal DSLR for wildlife, sports, and action photographers
