The flagship Nikon DSLR camera (D3/D4/D5) has long been considered a niche camera, a very specialized tool. It does a few things in a way lesser models can’t match. Things like very fast continuous capture, insane low-light performance and physical toughness. But with the more affordable models becoming more and more capable, and the cost of the top model continuing to rise, the niche seems to be getting smaller with each iteration. I think the introduction of the D500 will push the D5 into even more specialized territory. How many potential D5 buyers will be taking a long look at the D500 as a viable alternative? I think many. When the D4 was introduced, was there a serious alternative elsewhere in the Nikon lineup? At that time (2012), the D300S was three years old. The D700 was four years old. The D500 is a serious contender as an alternative to a D5. Before the announcements, I thought in 2016 I would be buying a D5. Now I’m probably more likely to own two D500s than a single D5. Having said that, a D5 and a D500 would be a terrific combination for action photography.

Краткое резюме - сам Манскров собирался брать D5, но склоняется в d500.
Думаю, на этом можно тему закрывать.
Кроме флуда здесь больше ничего нового не будет.
Еще раз спасибо всем, кто использовал d500 и поделился свои бесценным опытом.
Это подарок одного нашего канадского коллеги с форума, он был в Амстердаме несколько дней в октябре, и мы вместе провели пару замечательных дней и съемок
