Nikon Australia has announced the launch of the D500 DX-format digital SLR camera, successor to the D300S.
Nikon says the 21-megapixel D500 incorporates the same powerful 153-point AF system as its flagship D5, as well as high-speed continuous shooting at approximately 10fps.
The camera supports 4K UHD movies thanks to the new EXPEED 5 image-processing engine which provides high-quality images and a wide sensitivity range from ISO 100 to 51200, expandable to Hi 5 (ISO 1640000 equivalent).
The D500 combines the agility of the DX system with claimed superior usability. It employs a touch screen, tilting monitor, and features SnapBridge support, which enhances the value of your images via constant wireless connection with a smart device.
The camera is compatible with the newly released MB-D17 Multi-Power Battery Pack (optional), which can be used with various types of batteries.
Available March 2016.
