  • Niedriges Grundrauschen, Hohe Kantenschärfe, UHD-Video, Akku ausdauernd, Scharfer Touchscreen, Heller optischer Sucher, Schnelle und lange Serienaufnahme, WLAN
  • das nur via SnapBridge kommuniziert, Bluetooth-Übertragung unerträglich langsam, Starker Crop-Faktor bei Ultra-HD-Video
  • Mit der Nikon D500 startet im Test eine DSLR der Superlative durch. Sie ist erschwinglich und punktet mit vielen Profi-Features, treffsicherem Autofokus und beachtlich schnellem Serienbildtempo. Ultra-HD, Touchscreen und die SnapBridge-Anbindung sind net...

  • Abstract:  ISO 3.280.000, zwölf Bilder pro Sekunde und ein Autofokusmodul, das es dem Fotografen fast unmöglich macht, sein Motiv aus der Verfolgung zu verlieren … Wer nach Sonys Alpha-7-Offensive geglaubt hat , der Spiegel solle nun langsam in Rente gehen, den bele...

  • De D500 is uitstekend geschikt voor deze tak van sport en is de top camera van Nikon in de DX lijn. Hij is snel, autofocus is fantastisch en de ruis is zeer acceptabel bij ISO 3200! Wanneer je sport en actie wilt schieten is dit de camera om voor te gaan...

  • De D500 maakt het jarenlang gemis van een professionele aps-c-camera in één zeer overtuigende klap goed. Nikon doet dat zelfs zo goed, dat de camera meteen ook voor ander groepen interessant wordt. Je zou je zelfs mogen afvragen of Nikon daarmee niet zijn...

  • De D500 zet puike prestaties neer. De lichtmeting en witbalansregeling werken prima. Met de standaard beeldstijl (Picture Control) zijn de kleuren natuurgetrouw. De ingebouwde ruisonderdrukking zorgt ervoor dat opnames van 6.400 ISO goed bruikbaar zijn. V...
