Nikon’s flagship DX-format dSLR camera, D500, is now available in Singapore. The DX-format camera packs a punch – it has the performance of the D5, encased in a more agile body.
Among some of the features the D500 shared with the D5 include the 153-point AF system, high-speed continuous shooting at about 10 frames per second and the support of 4K videos. The new EXPEED 5 image-processing engine also means higher quality images and videos. For those who are into low light shooting, you’ll be happy to learn that the ISO goes up to 51,200, expandable to Hi 5 (equivalent to ISO 164,000).
