Constant smartphone connectivity, snappy AF performance, excellent image quality and dynamic range, great in low light environments, comfortable ergonomics, strong battery life
4K video is tightly cropped, AF video performance lags competition, fairly bulky, PRICE: $2,000

Higher price than MLICs with comparable specs, Zoom in and zoom out buttons, Live view must be turned on in video or photo mode
The Nikon D500 takes beautiful pictures and shoots great looking video. As of now, it's the only DSLR that shoots 4K in its price range, however it's much more expensive than mirrorless cameras with similar capabilities. Overall, we would recommend the D5...
