Get a step closer to professional photography with Nikon D500, a legitimate successor to the D300. This Digital Single Lens Reflex camera has more hidden under its DX hood. A true flagship model and undisputedly the finest camera in its range that comes with new and refined autofocus system. Nikon D500 sports an APC-S sensor with DX format and delivers a resolution of 20.9 Megapixel along with a 3.2 inch tilting touch capable liquefied colour display which is rated 2359 dots. The optical viewfinder delivers 100 percent coverage and 1x magnification.
There are two card slots on the right side of the Nikon D500, one of which accepts standard SD cards while the other one supports XQD cards. The card rates an ultimate speed of 440MB/s which is far quicker than the fastest UHS-II SDXC card. Consider the camera’s ability to shoot 10 frames per second with standard frame size of 5518 x 3712 pixel, the XQD card turns out to be a handy performer that helps camera provide glitch free performance. A cluster of buttons flanks the LCD with live view controls for stills and videos for stills and videos.
