Nikon D500 DSLR camera has won the Product of the Year at DPReview Awards 2016.

DPReview product of the year, 2016:

Shortlist:

  • Nikon D500
  • Olympus OM-D E-M1 II
  • Sigma 85mm F1.4 Art
  • Sony Cyber-shot RX100 V

Winner: Nikon D500

What the E-M1 II is for mirrorless ILCs, the D500 is for DSLRs. Although it lacks a really credible 4K video mode, the D500 is nevertheless an impressive all-rounder, combining some of the best elements of the flagship Nikon D5 with a (relatively) compact APS-C form factor, and a 1.5X focal length increase which is extremely handy for sports and wildlife photography. If you’re looking for a versatile, pro-grade DSLR which will still be current in years to come, the Nikon D500 is about as good as it gets. The Nikon D500 is our product of the year, 2016.

Nikon D500 Body: $1,999.95 at Amazon, B&H, Adorama.
