Canon also launched the EOS 80D in March 2016, so that the Nikon D500 will have direct competition from the 80D. Whether they can compete head to head? It will be interesting to be discussed or debated in photography forums on the Internet. By the way, let's look at some important aspects of the D500, so that we get more detailed information.

According to cameralabs.com the D500 is also the long-awaited successor to Nikon's previous high-end DX body, the D300s, launched a considerable six and a half years ago. The good news is Nikon D500 significantly improves every aspect of the D300s, and there is a lot of improvement, as desired by the owners of Nikon. The D500 features an enhanced level of robust build quality, offering the same amount of rugged weather sealing as the Nikon D810.

Nikon D500 key specs:

Effective pixels: 20.9 million.
10 FPS with AF and AE tracking — fastest Nikon DX camera ever.
79-frame buffer at these speeds, even in 14-bit uncompressed raw (with a fast enough card).
153 AF points that are rated down to LV -4 (full moonlight on sand).
Tilting Touch Screen
 ISOs to 51,200 as regular ISOs, expandable to ISO 1,638,400 as "HI +5."
4K video.
Can shoot stills during video.
"SnapBridge" Bluetooth scheme to get your images moved around automatically.
Wi-Fi and NFC.

Kenrockwell.com also mentioned that Nikon D500 has more AF points than ever before, but you can't select them all. You have only 55 selectable points, even if there are a claimed 153 AF points hidden somewhere. On the D500’s DX format sensor, the 153-point AF array fills the frame from side to side, letting users flawlessly track and lock-onto subjects from the edges of the viewfinder.

If you already have a collection of Nikon lenses that still your store, then you will be pleased to have this new DSLR camera, because there is a focus motor in the D500, so it works with every AF lens made since 1986. Nikon D500 is fitted with the same AF system as the Nikon D5, the Multi-CAM 20K AF sensor module, with a separate dedicated processor for AF function.

I believe, among the enthusiast Nikon there must be very creative or make creative photographs. As with Nikon D810A, then Nikon do not forget to install Picture Control system. You can maximized this feature to create photo with this fantastic creative mode such as: Standard, Vivid, Monochrome, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Flat; selected Picture Control can be modified. The live view AF system seems much faster and smoother than on past Nikon cameras, even in quite low light.

Gizmag.com also noted there are interesting things from the 7D Mark II with the D500, that is, from the aspect autofocus. The Nikon D500 looks to have leaped ahead of the already impressively-speedy Canon 7D II when it comes to autofocus.

 If you need a sharing features such as WiFi, then you will choose the Nikon D500, because the D500 has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth plus NFC support, whereas the 7D Mark II does not have such options. Where the 7D Mark II excels is built-in GPS, which the Nikon D500 obviously does not have.

If you look over and examine the key specifications of the two cameras, is it really going to affect you before making a decision? You have to visit a camera store in your town, and asked the store clerk to show the camera physically, so you can hold and feel real. However, you should know, the Nikon D500 is more expensive than the Canon EOS 7D Mark II.

In addition to price, perhaps the emotional aspects as a true fan of one of these famous brands that will make you take a credit card to buy one of them. By the way, Canon vs. Nikon is always interesting for discussion and debate among photographers around the world.
