  • materiali e tecnologie. Ottima ergonomia. Autofocus più rapido che abbiamo mai testato su una reflex e un burst-rate che non vi farà perdere nemmeno un attimo di una sequenza. Personalizzazione totale. Monitor touch orientabile. Elevata durata della batte
  • AF nelle ripresa video, che soffre dei limiti propri dei sensori "non" ibridi. La registrazione in 4K utilizza solo una parte del frame. Qualche errore di lettura esposimetrica negli scatti in controluce. Margini di miglioramento nel rumore alle alte sens
  • Una reflex di fascia alta destinata principalmente alla fotografia sportiva e naturalistica attingendo al ampio parco di ottiche Nikkor e di accessori dedicati. Pensata per il professionista che desidera sfruttare al massimo i vantaggi di un sensore con...

  • Prestazioni autofocus da ammiraglia, La raffica è la più veloce per una APS-C, Ad alti ISO è una bomba
  • Il display non si muove su più assi, e il touch non è sempre reattivo, Il prezzo è sicuramente elevato
  • La D500 è la miglior APS-C mai prodotta da Nikon e una delle migliori reflex del marchio giallo-nero da almeno un decennio a questa parte. Il costo sicuramente importante, circa 2.300 euro solo corpo, ha fatto storcere il naso a molti, ma come abbiamo avu...

  Published: 2019-12-14, review by: fotohits.de

  • Top-Modell der APS-C-Klasse mit hervorragender Auflösungsleistung: Das D500-Autofokussystem ist eines der Besten, das derzeit erhältlich ist und somit für schnelle Serienbilder ideal
  • Der Listenpreis von 2.329 Euro nur für den Body ist recht hoch. Die kleine Abweichung von 98 statt 100 Prozent im optischen Sucher kann bei der Bildgestaltung irritierend sein,
  • Den erstklassigen Ergebnissen der D500 bei fotografischen Aufnahmen stehen die Videos sowohl bei 4K- als auch Full-HD-Auflösung in nichts nach. Auch die Farbwiedergabe und Rauschergebnisse sind hervorragend. Die Kamera liefert somit exzellentes Filmmateri...

  • AF-S DX Nikkor 16-80mm F2,8-4E ED VR: Randunschärfe besonders im Weitwinkelbereich, Kein integriertes Blitzgerät, Etwas zu starke Kompression bei Videos in 4K-Auflösung, Vergleichsweise langsamer Autofokus im Liveview-/Videomodus
