In our review in 2018, we called the Nikon D500 "a dream camera" – and even then, some were saying that DSLRs were on their way out. Fast-forward to 2025 and the mirrorless wave has only grown stronger, reshaping the camera market from top to bottom.
But even as tech moves on, the Nikon D500 refuses to die. Nearly a decade since its launch, Nikon's APS-C flagship is still quietly doing what it does best: delivering pro-level performance, reliability and an unmistakably classic shooting experience.
