- Where's my Nikon Z500? Right guys. Where is the Z 500 mirrorless camera. The APS-C pro body Nikon D500 replacement camera. Will be even get a D500 replacement called the Z500 or Z90?
Let's talk about this.

The D500 was an absolute beast.
It should be replaced with a Z500.
Nice sound of sweet ahutter..
I love the sound of a shutter. I know all the younger photographers like a silent shutter like their phone. The shutter tells the people to move to the next pose
I absolutely love my silent shutter, I’m 44 and learned photography with a film camera 😅😅😅 but now I feel young 😊
the shutter is POWER. it’s just cool.
why not use more time for photographic tips and triks? You are a wedding photographer, you have to have som experience with photo, edit and workflow?
YES - where is it? I want it. Still love my D500 for fast flying birds in flight. Great ergonomics. Excellent focussing! Or will they upgrade the Z50 with IBIS and improved ergonomics to go with telephoto lenses. Canon have got the R7 and Sony the a7600 to go with their 200-600. Come on Nikon.
Currently using a D500, would love a Z500. 24mp sensor would be good, better low light performance would be good too. Cant afford a Z8 or Z9, needs to be for the pro/am photographers
Firstly, I appreciate your admiration for DSLRs. They continue to be truly remarkable cameras. Furthermore, according to numerous professional photographers, the use of double-stacked sensors, despite their impressive writing speeds, does not necessarily result in improved color rendering. Photographers are increasingly recognizing that stacked sensors do not capture the desired 3D effect. This is not unexpected, as compromises are inherent in photography. This problem is often overlooked by influencers, possibly due to their desire to promote new cameras and avoid acknowledging it. It is worth noting that older digital sensors without multilayers tend to have better contrast compared to double-stacked sensors. The sharpness and contrast of monochrome sensors and sensors without aliasing filters are superior. Once again, there is a compromise to be made as you may encounter moire and other artifacts. Ultimately, photography is a constant balancing act, where every gain is accompanied by a loss. It's simply the inherent nature of the craft.
It will be very interesting to see what Nikon comes out with next.
They have the technology, they just need to trickle it down
Still using my D500. Fantastic camera and I have no problem producing bokeh with a crop sensor.
I want one. APSC at 21mp would be fine. Expeed 7 with autofocus of a z8/9. Silent shutter 20 fps. I'll buy it immediately!
Yeah and since the z50 mark 2 will be obviously expensive, Nikon can continue selling the z50 and Nikon can continue target everyone, from budget buyers to everyone.
A Z500 that incorporated the same partially stacked sensor Technology as the Z6iii would be a HUGE HIT for Nikon. But do they have the Stones to do it. When most of the Nikon faithful were complaining about the Nikon ZF, I praised it. However with pending FF releases for most Brands this year, sooner then later, in the Case of the Z6iii, it's Claim to Fame could be short lived. However with Canon and Sony yet to really produce a proper Cropped Sensor Camera, the Door is Wide open for Nikon. So a Z500 based on Nikon Z6iii would be Golden for Nikon. Just as the Zf has been.
❤ V, you know what I'm going to say, I would rather have 3 minty USED Nikon D3 cameras 😅
Haha love you V! I love watching your videos. I haven't heard much in rumors about a crop frame mirrorless, I feel like its dead to them and they are pouring R&D into FF video and photography specs. What would you do?
Yeah FF all the way. They need a competitor to the Hasselblad and Phase One medium format cameras. That would be a hit! What do you think V?
Thanks bro, glad you are enjoying the videos. I think its a good idea for for a Z500 maybe after a Z7III,
@@behulk a medium format Nikon would be a very Niche thing but as someone that loves the idea Im all for it. Make a limited run at first. then see what happens.
@Vahagraphy agreed. It would be hard to compete with the Fuji GFX's and Hasselblad MF bodies. But with Nikon color science and ergonomics I think they'd have a real hit of a camera for us Nikon people that don't care to switch brands atm.
Nikon has said that they don't have any immediate plans to develop a Z7iii. They want to see what the market is doing first
yah but that would be a mistake. 60MP photo first camera.
Photographers have to be the only people on Earth who are deeply nostalgic about 2016 already. But yeah, a Z500 would be a waste of resources. There is zero reason for Nikon to release a camera just because people don't want to use DX mode on a Z8.
it’s a mixed bag like i said and proof is in these comments .
@@Vahagraphy Well, you’ve been hyping it on your channel, so I think it’s bound to get some support, but there couldn’t be a more niche camera.
I would like to see a Z50ii. I think the Z50 replacement is way overdue. New partial stacked APSC sensor, slightly bigger body. IBIS would be a bonus.
I like an analog viewfinder... but love the EVF on my Z9 even more.
I would love a Z500, would buy it day one. I own a Z9, but I'd still prefer a Z500 for wildlife.
IBIS, fast AF, fast sensor, 24MP.
Pair that with the 400/4.5 and you have an unbeatable combination.
Don't care much for the Z6-III actually.
GREAT video - I want a Z500!!!
Yes, I think Nikon should release a pro body crop sensor camera with the capabilities, or very nearly so, of the Z8 at a price point of around $2,300 or so. I think the body size should be close to the Z6 III. And if they want to do it right they would equip it with a very fast fully stacked 24-30MP sensor. That would be a definite winner. It would be a fantastic all-arounder and wildlife photographers would absolutely love it. I hope Nikon is working on something like that.
I dont know, but i still hold into idea of 36mp full frame sensor (maybe for Z7 mark 3) and also 24mp apsc camera (Z50 mark 2 with IBIS).
Ex D500 shooter here. About 18 months back I went to the Canon EOS R7 and haven't really looked back. It's not a "perfect camera" by any stretch but in the mirrorless world at the time I decided to make the switch, the R7 with the 100-500mm L lens was (and is) a great light weight system that enabled me to capture incredibly sharp images. I'm not saying it is "better" than anything else produced, they are all good. I liked the combination of light weight and sharp image quality offered by the 100-500 lens and the way the R7 fit in my hand was and is very comfortable. If Nikon came out with a D500 replacement, I would for sure check it out. Not sure if I would go back or not, it would depend on what the new camera has and what, if anything, Canon will do in the way of an R7ii.
Sorry to loose you my friend, but you’re just being pragmatic🙂
Nice combo!
I kinda think about doing this too, but I'm sooo heavily invested in Z and F.
@@psoon04286 No worries. It really wasn't that there was anything lacking in Nikon systems. I had been shooting Nikon since the late 1970's. The thing was, at this juncture in my life and with what I enjoy taking photos of, the Canon was a closer match to my needs. I still have one Nikon camera (D7200), F mount macro, 100-400 and 150-600 that serve as backup. For example, I used the D7200 to photograph the 2024 Solar Eclipse. IF I'm going to risk burning a hole in a sensor, might as well risk one that can be replaced for a few hundred dollars instead of a more expensive one. Even though my primary camera is Canon these days, I'm still a huge fan of Nikon and my wife shoots Sony.
@@martinhild If I had already invested in a Z body and Z lenses, I surely would not have made the switch. I was able to sell some of my Nikkor glass (including my beloved 105mm macro that I really hated to see go) and my D500 to partially fund the Canon gear. Other than fodder to discuss on the internet, there really isn't that much real-world difference between similar price point and design cameras from any of the manufacturers.
Yeah I shoot the r7 with the 100-500 as well. Great combo for wildlife. I will be picking up the the r7mk2 if relased in the next couple years and use the r7 as a b cam or for video. Would love to see Nikon come out with a similar apsc camera.
A "Z500" or whatever they will call it, will be a niche camera, but it's a sizable niche that will generate some more back sales for Nikon. A lot has advanced since the D500 was introduced, so if they incorporate Z8/9/6iii tech into a Z500 I think it will be a good seller among wildlife and BIF photographers, and perhaps some sports and action photographers as well. The D500 sold like hotcakes when it was released, but like you said it's hard to find a good used model on ebay that has a shutter count below 50000 or maybe isn't battered a bit. One good thing about DSLRs is that if you take the lens off and put it in Ch mode, you now can fan yourself cool! Try that with mirrorless!
I have very recently upgraded from a D500 (with grip) to a Z8 (with grip). I'm a wildlife photographer so use my f mount 500mm f4 & Sigma 150-600mm c.
I THOUGHT i wanted a mirrorless D500 but now after using the Z8 i don't need it.
Not to say that a Z500 wouldn't be good...it would be immense. I did miss the crop sensor initially but i can crop with more detail with my Z8.
Yes, I want to see a new Z500 or maybe a new Z50 II that is faster with better autofocus and about 33mp. Pixel density at APS-c crop does matter. Keep it under 2K$.
I know you don't remember everybody that comments on your videos but I've been saying Nikon needs a z500 for a couple of years now. Everyone was saying a z90 but it will more than likely be a z80. It won't have to be in the same chassis as the z8 though. It could use the same chassis as the new z6 III which is slightly larger than a z6 II. Nikon has shown what they can do with a partially stacked sensor. A z500 would most likely have a partially stacked sensor so it won't be over 24 mp. One reason why a crop sensor makes sense over cropping a 46 mp down to 20 mp like a d500 is pixel pitch and pixel density. I've used DX mode on my z8 and it seems like I lose dynamic range when I do that. I could be wrong. The pictures just don't look as good to me as when I'm in FX mode. I think I'd rather shoot in FX mode and crop in on the photo if I need to rather than use DX mode. Wildlife and sports photographers benefit from a crop sensor because of the 1.5 X crop factor. They can use a cheaper lens and get the same reach as a more expensive lens on a full frame. A 600mm PF lens will be the equivalent of 900mm field of view on a crop sensor. No need for a teleconverter which can degrade your images. But I think the z500 should be a semi pro or pro body as the d500 is. It will sell for around $2000 but you'll get more from it than the d500 could ever do. It'll have awesome video specs that the d500 doesn't have. It'll have the z8 focus tracking modes with the pre-release. There's a lot of people that had the d850 and a d500. I'll probably sell my z6 II next year for the z6 III if I can afford it. I have a feeling I may have another wedding to pay for next year lol. I may never buy a z500 but Nikon really needs to come out with one. I love the zf for what it is but I wish they had come out with a z500 first. Don't worry about the z7 III. It's in the world and will probably come out soon. It will have to be different from the z8 though. I really don't think they need a z7 III since we have the z8 unless they just want to have a cheaper high mp camera. The z8 is already on sale for around $3500 which is about where the z7 used to be. Too many mp can actually cause defraction. 46 mp is the sweet spot for high mp.
I dont think they need a high end DX, but one with IBIS would be great for vloggers and creators.
And yes not everyone wants the size and weight of a FF mirrorless
Damn good question!
I think it makes sense to have a 'Z500', it won't make sense unless it has the partially stacked or fully stacked sensor and would be nice if it was around 30MP. Price should be around Z6iii if fully stacked. I mostly shoot wildlife and every so often do typical event, portrait etc stuff so my ideal kit would be the Z500 and the Z8. The Z6iii does not make sense for me due to the low megapixel and it also can't get me more pixels on subject since it is full frame. I don't think it should be hard to beat the R7 because it has such a slow sensor that crippled it for the use most people would have had for it which is fast action where you can't get close. I'm guessing the R7ii will have a faster readout though. Nikon is still playing catch-up in terms of their mirrorless bodies and had a real problem getting compelling cameras in the different price/niches, having this crop body will really help that much like getting the low megapixel full frame body of the Z6iii will. - Also why does the Z6iii not have a sensor shield or at least use the shutter to protect the sensor like Canon did, I mean come on you already have the mechanical sensor in there so you might as well.
Imagine a Z6III APSC costing 1500 dollars maybe
Z500 or Z900 whatever Nikon must produce this beast like D500 with higher mega pixels 🙏🙏🙏 i sold my R7 its good but but ….
Yes- I want a z500 aps-c camera at $2000. I shoot sports and I want that camera now.
Vahagn, its a nice sound, but I still prefer my mirrorless Z6ii
Saving up to buy a Z6iii
I shoot Sony and do a lot of birding lately. I have not been too happy with them and if Nikon had a z500 I would have to seriously think about switching to Nikon
Can’t imagine not using full frame. Never liked the look of crop sensor images.
Hi Vahagraphy. I think the nomenclature Z$$$ would be like for a Cinema camera!
If nikon will going to release a mirrorless successor of D500. I wish it have a 30-33mp Stacked BSI sensor, 1/500 flash sync speed (why they can't make a camera with native flash sync speed faster than 1/200, its frustating), No AA-Filter, Screen like in the Z8/Z9, Expeed 7, Video specs like Z6iii
What is the Z7 iii going to cost with the Z6ii going up 500 dollars raising the price of the z7 puts it close to the Z8
I really wonder what's going to happen with the Z7iii, I mean it seems to be in an awkward spot right now with the faster sensor Z6iii but lower MP and the faster sensor and same MP Z8. I would really like to see them go the A7RV route with really high megapixels and image quality. Forget the stacked or partial stacked sensor and just aim for the highest image quality they can. Right now Nikon does not have anything over 45 MP and neither does Canon. It seems the only way to go if they want to keep the Z7 line since they can't make the sensor faster or it is just the Z8.
I would like an interface built into a Z9h that will detect a sporting venue, location, date, time with auto play by play. Have in camera auto captioning of the play with the identified (by in camera AI) of player(s) in the shot, and the team(2), generated by AI. Have built in AI that picks up the broadcasted play by play on the network, and assign the caption automatically. Have the in body captions in the IPTC to the file(s). Maybe have the new in camera system integrated with photo mechanic. Have the integration in body, software that determines the news shot based in time, and automatically upload the image to social media and the newswires.
I want z400, 40mp, Micro 4/3 with built in Full frame up to 61mp, DX mode up to 45mp, 12k 120p, 240 fps stills & spider Eye AF for $2,799
Z500 or at least successor to Z50 is much needed (Z70, Z90) who cares about the naming scheme 😄. I switched to Sony a6700 a few months ago because my Z50 and Z30 were just alright. I needed better video spec and also wanted to try Sony's famous autofocus system. A6700 is much, much better from autofocus tracking point of view as well as battery life, but ergonomically, i prefer some things about Nikon. Also, implementation of pinpoint autofocus in AF-S of Nikon is far superior to Sony. Sony doesn't have such a small selectable af point, so cudos to Nikon for that. That is one of the key things for me for the precision shooting of tabletop things... so every camera brand has something good and something bad. No heart feelings 🙂🙃 And to answer your question, Vahagen, i love small formfactor of APS-C cameras. Yoi can have a big setup with APS-C if you want (i own Viltrox 1.2 primes), and also, you can go very small for trvelling (Sigma 18-50mm f2.8.) That is vhy i like APS-C and also im not a pro, so i do not need to spend 4500$ body only 😉 ... Anyway, I love your videos, i like how you are passionate about Nikon, but at the end of the day, photography is what bringing us together, so just be good at each other and let's enjoy shooting whit an brand 😊 cheers 🫡
Love to see you a Z 500 the smaller sensor would be easier to stabilize think what we could have in a ibis with that. Make it around a 24 megapixel with the XP7 processor what kind of focus should we come up with that.
Nikon is rolling the expeed7 across their line, z50/30/Zfc , z50 a z7iii 60mp by that time another two year are gone by then they release the Z9ii with the red sensor.
I am waiting for a new z50 with a more solid feel, to add to my Z8 and ZF
Ha Ha where’s the likes on muh comments there Vahagn!?! 🤔😯😢
:) hehe
Currently using D500 for wildlife, it's still a workhorse and a great camera. Not sure I could talk myself into a new crop-sensor camera in 2024 with all of the fine choices already available for birding and wildlife, but it's an interesting thought to ponder.
It is not about want it, but it is something wildlife and birders want and is good for Nikon.
Nikon is not late. They can use the 20MPx APS-C and make it stacked sensor for high speed shooting and low rolling shutter. They need good IBIS and big buffer. If they do it there is no competition as Sony or Canon has no such camera for around €2000. Only Fuji with C-H2s and OM Digital Solutions with OM-1.
Yeah, where’s the D500 Z body!? Natural, bright, optical viewfinder
Make all the fun you want but APS-C has a solid use case for many tasks. Portraits maybe not, the bokeh addicts are always going to hate crop sensors. For a lot of events, the greater DOF has its own advantage.
A lot of the wedding pros in my area are including crop cameras in their kit now. I have done that for years. Full frame for posed formal shots and most of the ceremony, and crop for reception and dance floor. I'm not sure if DOF is the main reason for them. It's a big reason for me. These folks are telling me is a perk. I suspect the more compact camera and lenses are a part of it too. Less space, less distracting to the guests in these close-quarters shots. I'm seeing Sony a6x00 and Fujifilm in these roles and the occasional Olympus. I'm still using a D7200, so it's not exactly tiny.
Nikon should bring out a Z90 with A lot better bills quality then Canon R7, and it should have a fully stacked 26 or 28 megapixels of resolution with flash sync speed no less than 1/400 or 1/500 instead of the traditional 1/250 sync Speed that sound on almost every camera in 20 years, I agree they need to bring out a truly professional crop sensor camera replace the Nikon D500.
Vag, you're so funny! Thank you for your videos! The Z8' sound really sucks, in my humble opinion! I really would like a new Z7III, sincerely.. Great hug form Italy, meanwhile! Domenico
Don’t need it is another thing as doesn’t want it.
Z300 first, before 500 😆
I wish Nikon would make a Z lineup specifically Photo only. Like make the z7 or z5 as a photo only high megapixel camera. That could be like the old D500 of its time.
Loved your take on Z6iii haters, but not sure why you’d mock people who would like to see an APC-C sports/wildlife camera. Am I missing something about what’s so laughable about the request? Oh, and I’m not asking for Nikon to make a Z500 camera, but it would be a sensible camera for a lot of people.
I’m having fun with the way Amar says it . he always says “ where’s my z500” that’s what that was . not mocking those who want it or the camera itself . no way. more cameras from Nikon is a great ideas
First of all, if a 21 MP APSC stacked sensor Z500 arrives at 1899-2000$, it would sell much more than a Z6iii, might even surpass the Z8. Because mostly only wedding professionals will but a Z6iii over a Z500 wheras the wildlife professionals, enthusiasts, sport photographers, hobbyist, etc everyone would buy a Z500, even those with not a budget of Z8.
As a Z8 owner, I am a little disappointed with the Z6iii. It is not as polished as it should be.
The 24MP partially stacked sensor is fine but there are certain missed opportunities (some are really basic)-
1) No Cycle Autofocus Switch Custom Button (Like what is this, come on)
2) Not sure if 3D tracking works with subject recognition turned off (the Zf doesn't)
3) No Bird AF in 2024 ??? (even with an Expeed 7 and Smaller megapixel count in a mainstream body)
4) Autofocus somewhere between Zf & Z8 is unacceptable. It should have been slightly tweaked than even the Z8. Both Sony & Canon doesn't cripple their autofocus on newer models. (The Canon R6ii has better autofocus than the R5. The Sony A7iv has better autofocus than A7R4. The Sony A6700 has better autofocus than A7iv.)
4) No new battery after so many years. This camera should have come with a new battery capacity with backwards compatibility to Enel 15c. Sony is developing a new battery between.
5) There was basically no need for a newer EVF on this, rather than should have the full capacity autofocus & customisation. The New EVF should have come with either a Z9ii or a 61MP Z7iii. Also heard the EVF colour & Screen colour doesn't match since the EVF is far better.
6) No development in Pixel Shift shooting with moving objects.
7) No RAW in Pre-capture. This feature alone would have leapfrogged Canon and on level with Sony, as Canon is seriously struggling with Pre-Capture RAW.
This is not a camera people will switch brands for. This just fills the competition gap for Canon R6ii & Sony A7iv, surpassing them in rolling shutter & video resolution. Within a year, the Sony A7V will walk over the Nikon Z6iii, they also have a A7Siii & ZV full frame series. And Canon releases cameras like pastries.
Expected a bit more from Nikon, after the Z8.
Nikon !!!! Please z500
Owner D500
No thanks to the Z500 .
Where's my Z7iii? 😎
I’m testing it right now, but that is all I can say! 😆
There will be no z7iii
Negative. It's time to replace the Z50 and Z5. Introducing a Z7iii will just saturate the market along side the Z8/9. We got pixel shift for the landscape nuts out there already. Besides having 60mp the Z7 wouldn't offer much more to the table. Here's an idea. A low megapixel Z7 full frame for low light. 16MP! Lol
But let's be honest. If they ever want to break away from 3rd place they need to sell affordable cameras with good AF. That's how Canon does it.
I been holding my breath to holding my own Z90 or the Z500 for a long time. Nikon will shock again the photography world when this beast will be unleashed.
PLEASE NIKON STOP TORTURING your zealous and devoted users...lol! WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG.......................................................
2024 - Z50II
2025 - Z70/90; Z7III (~60Mpix); Z4
2026 - Z9H/Z9II or Z1 (Mundial); Z5II
rather have a z90
where’s my z90 hehe
Hi friend now that Nikon has launched the Z6iii it sets the stage for launching the Z90 Pro APSc with 33MP sensor using the Z6iii body.... Ideally, Nikon would like to have a distinct classification to have Z50's akin to D7xxx series & Z90 akin to D500 .... Hope n pray Nikon hears 👂👂👂
I say NO, who wants a DX camera when you can do that in the current cameras? SMH lol
Nikon stop jerking the market (customers) around!
IF we knew there was not going to be a higher end Z DX/APSC, then I would 'dump' DX bodies and several DX lenses. Many would, I guess. But then Nikon should quit making, selling all F-mount DX and lenses, -AND-the Z APSC/DX line altogether.
I have the D500 and D810 and have never done any video. No interest in video. Just wildlife photography. Z 500 could be interesting.
I don't miss my dslr. I'm so happy with how the tech has moved forward.
