Nikon D750 VS Nikon D500: Which To Buy

- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- Should you buy the Nikon D750 or Nikon D500, that's the major question. Personally I think the decision is simple, the Nikon D500 is the way to go. froknowsphoto.c...
amzn.to/294HTF9 Nikon D500
amzn.to/290U4jX Nikon D750
The Nikon D500 may be the best choice for any photographer starting out today. I used to recommend the D750 as the best starting camera but not any longer.
If I had to choose between Nikon or Canon for the best starting camera I would still choose the Nikon D500.

Recommending a 2 thousand dollar camera for people 'starting out' may be a bit of an extravagant idea, mate.
But d500 isn't full frame..
Get a D3300 then
Yeah I laughed at that actually. D3300/5300 for starters is better. If they don't like it, they can sell it fast
+Eddy Brown no, the D610 and 6D are entry level. the D750 was priced and featured to compete with the 5d mkiii.
only legitimate feature it lacks is a 1/8000 shutter. they equipped it with their best AF & imaging processor. obviously outdated as of March, a year and half later.
I believe that it was not the case and certainly it's not the case today. The D810 is equivalent to the 5d mkiii. In this moment the D750 cost 500$ less than the 5d, and it does not have a pro body like the Canon you reference. Over time price shifted and know the D810 is more expensive (around 200$) than the 5d mk3.
Since a starter kit is a D750, I have not been doing photography yet since I am still on the D7000
What do you mean? You still got a great camera. The D750 ain't all that. It has had 4 recalls so far. I would go fr the D610 over the D750.
+tabamoura How do u like the D750?
Ya, he's on a different budget I think. Business wise I thought it was always better to get the best bang for your buck. If I can get the job done with a d600, then that makes better business sense than getting a d5, which is overkill for the majority of ppl who own them.
same here
I started with a d3300 but I'm trying to go full frame and don't have a clue on which one to upgrade to
I do not agree with Jared. I do own both these cameras, and both of these are different, and cannot be compared against each other except for similar price points. A full frame is a full frame. You do not get (1) Wide sensor (2) Commander flash mode (3) Low light performance (4) Remote shutter trigger (5) 24 mp sensor (6) built-in flash with the D500, but you do with a D750. And on the other side of the coin you won't get (1) 1/8000th shutter speed (2) 10 frames /sec (3) 4k videos (4) These many cross auto focus points (5) ergonomic and convenient button placement (6) zoom as any dx would with a D750. If you would have to choose between these two all what matters the most is "What feature is more important to you".
yeah i agree. and i'll gonna get the d750 cus it's a better all-around camera
This seems like a no brainer. 750 > D500 no question. Full Frame with Full Frame Lenses will definitely outweigh any dx body and dx lens. Not sure what he’s thinking here. 🤷🏻♂️
Jibs J Thanks! Now I know what to buy... the Nikon D750
I want them both eventually. I have the Nikon d5500 and it gives great images. And I am next going to get the Nikon d750 as my first full frame.
"Jumping into the full-frame game, I recommend a D810 or D5". Holy shit... :D
jared can be a bit of a jackass ngl
Well he's not wrong. It's much better to get the good gear right off the bat instead of upgrading to that good year later. Photography is expensive in the first place. When you seriously want to get into it, get a good set up right off the bat. I would remmomenf the nikon z5 or sony A7iii right now. Cannon R is alright also. Get a mirrorless and get a full frame. Yes it's going to be initially more expensive, but your gonna get a lot more value out of the products also. Also new gear retains the value more. Don't get a dslr as prices gonna drop fast as fuck.
@@airsofttommy9641 your recommendations are pretty good, Jareds recommendations are the equivalent of recommending an a7r iV or an a9 ii now. It's way too expensive to expect a beginner to spend that much
D700 is better than both of these!
Why, you ask? Because I own one! >,<
The Best Camera is the one You Own!
I bought my D700 around 9 years ago when it first came out, it has been through alot and is still alive and kicking!!
In that case my grandpa d90 it s the best :))
@@fl0rin09 I got one
And I love it
@@nachohernandez9491 me to...but honestly...it dosent do the job anymore..i need at least an d7500 or d601
Take it a step further; the best camera is the one you have with you. If your D700 is at home in a cupboard when you are out then your phone in your pocket is the best camera.
I miss the days of buying a film camera good for 20yrs......all you had to worry about were the lens.
I tested both cameras and the D750 had better detail. To me that trumps these categories discussed. The 500 is amazing no doubt but at the end of the day, I prefer greater detail in my pictures. Thanks for posting.
Question. Is there a big difference or concerning factor to buy refurbished vs new?
Jared it is a straight up lie that the ISO is better on the D500. Look up the SNR 18% Charts, even at 51,200 the D750 beats the D500.
IKR!
How can 'based on my personal experience' be a lie? haha
It depends on what your experience involves. While it might not be a lie (unless someone isn't being upfront about their experience), it can be skewed depending on what someone wants to believe. I believe Jared at one point said the Nikon 24-70E VR was sharper than the older 24-70G, which isn't always the case.
www.dpreview.com/forums/post/57679613 D750 vs D500, with the D750 along the top row. It appears the D750 has a better profile, but the D500 holds up pretty well considering it's a DX camera. However, that doesn't seem to account for any tugging on the files.
I feel that was a very poor statement from him. Yes, "personal experience" is what he's using for his consideration, but unless this personal experience was side-by-side, it's not an accurate statement. There are plenty of resources out there that show the D750 is still far superior to the D500 in high ISO. He quotes the native ISO rage as a factor in this? Come on...we all know that Nikon's native ISO claims are outlandish in terms of actual usability.
Yeah it's quite obvious www.dxomark.com/Cameras/Compare/Side-by-side/Nikon-D500-versus-Nikon-D7200-versus-Nikon-D750___1061_1020_975
At the end of the day, it's all about what you do with the camera. This whole concept of it being about the gear is ridiculous. I just received an email from Nat Geo asking to license one of my images of a dog (shot with a D5200) for an upcoming book on working dogs.
Congrats! Also, I agree with your statement. Everybody is so concerned about getting the latest and greatest gear. If you have a great picture, no one is going to ask you what camera you used.
Danny Thanks man, it was all due to me doing a free job for a friend and her therapy dog 2 years ago. You never know when that free job will pay off. Keep shooting!
I was thinking about getting one of these 2 suckers... but knowing you and I have the same camera, sir, I will work to continue getting better at taking photos than getting new gear! kudos to you!
in Zack Arias words the camera is a "Cold beast, does not know about emotions, or framing, what matters is the moron behind it..." " there are teen-agers out there doing more interesting shots with and iPhone than us professional photographers" I'm a professional photographer and I have had great shots taken with my old d5300 nothing wrong about them, though nowadays I do most of my work in an XT1 and D750
+Jason Bone How you get hooked up with Nat Geo?
specs or not, there's no way I can justify spending $2000 for a dx camera. go fx, and match it with good fx glass and you'll be far better off long term
Can't compare these two just by specs. One is FF one is crop. Take the sensor size you want. Both great cameras but for different glass and different shooting situations.
Image quality? Great overview but I suspect that full frame still rules unless you need the extra functionality of a D500.
exactly, all stories will end up with image quality. and not everybody shoot birds and sports. I sold my D500 to get a D750, which I had to choose from beginning.
I am a wedding photographer. The D810 - the D850 files are way too big for the event photography I do. I use a D750 - and it is perfect for me for wedding photography. The files are a great size for high work flow. Also I believe the low light capability with the D750 is slightly better than the D850. It just looks better to me. The D500 while a nice camera - is crop. For weddings my 24-70 and 70-200 lenses would look weird on the D500 - depth of field etc would suffer. For what it's worth the D750 is indeed a fine camera and at the end of the day my images are the quality I need from the D750. That is the aspect that matters.
Anybody calling the D750 a "starter" is a little out of touch with reality. I can't imagine why you'd upgrade from the d750 at the moment, when you call something a "starter" thats assuming you're going to replace it. LOL Jared Polin here has bought into a narrative created by camera companies to sell more products. Remember, the only way to get you to take your wallet out again is to tell you what you're now using is inferior to other products offered by the same company. It's a great selling tactic, but t's intellectually dishonest to actually believe it in practice.
I was thinking the same thing. At almost 2k dollars, its far from a starter camera. New tech becomes old tech. The d750 is capable of professional shooting and I wouldnt be hard pressed to upgrade.
Didn’t he say just getting into “full frame”?
Cameron Prior thank you for actually watching the video and listening. He even clarified it himself in the comment section. I'm a starter but I actually want to get the d750 .... used of course. Or I'll just get the 80d. I want it for both photos and videos. Also considering the d500.
I have been using the D500 for a week with real estate photography. I was real disappointed with ISO over 5000. I felt ripped off. However since then, using low ISO's I have had images with overexposed skies or really underexposed shadow areas and when editing in Lightroom I recovered ALL of these details with EASE. White skies turned blue, black shadow areas lit up in full detail. I couldn't do that with my previous D7100. I can't believe how well I could make a perfect image from what looked like a goof up.!!
you should aim for out of camera results that only need a little work in post.
using post processing so much can easily ruin fine details, colors, tonal gradations, and cause unnecessary noise.
the d500 is actually not close to the d7200 or D610 or d750 in base iso dynamic range, something that will allow you to recover all those details you spoke of. not saying you don't, but those will be cleaner.
Really? I've had the exact opposite experience. I find the noise to be unacceptable after recovering under exposed images in Lightroom by one half to a full stop for images shot at low ISO values (200, 400, 800). My D500 is going back after having it for 14 days. I have one day left to get it back to the store. I find the D500 consistently under exposes by up to a full stop when in aperture priority mode. I've learned to compensate for this, but I'm still not satisfied with the noise performance at low ISO values.
Goddamn who calls a $2000 camera a "starter"?? lol
Those who have money, heheheh.
If you look at a RED camera, the D500 is very very very cheap.
Facing Blocks your dumb
you're*
oh the irony.
Tuyen Hoang lol I don't pay attention to grammar when typing on a phone
d750 wins in full frame/shallow depth of field and the 3d auto focus is all I use so would only get the d500 for video... but if i wanted it for video i would just go sony.
plus i got my d750 for $1400 used over a year ago
yeah, i wouldnt waste my time buying a nikon for video. i would just invest in a sony system...
Panasonic GH4 is good enough for most projects :)
*****
the d750 actually has more video features than any canon. I have started using my Nikon d750 OVER my panasonic GH4 for tv commercials because it gets a better shallow depth of field and is sharp enough for television. The colors look better and its not as flat. just my opinion though
you have experienced about it ..??so which one better ...??im confused for D500 crop body ..so you tell me which one best ..??
to each their own...but a full frame is a full frame..period...u cant change the physics that commands a better performance....I know professionals who shoot with d750 and are very happy...so stop pushing your agenda to promote the d500 over the 750...these are 2 cams for two different audiences.....if u r into sports, wildlife and action then D500 is better...thats not to say that the d750 is not good for wildlife and sports....but if u are into portraits, wedding and lifestyle...you cant beat the bokeh performance of a full frame!!!!
currently I shoot with a D3000, so really anything is an upgrade, hoping to come into some money for the D750 Love your videos
What’s your view on the D500 vs D750 now? Am looking for a backup camera for my D800 and both are now roughly the same price? I just think i am trying to decide D750 for the native ISO over the D800 but the crop factor on the D800 is so nice that the obvious thing seems to be D810 for me tbh, just dont want to waste my money and make a bad decision, any advice appreciated???
The D750 is like £500 cheaper in the UK, which could really affect the decision.
If its cheaper and you dont need the speed and extra reach than the 750 is by far the better camera Full Frame will bring noticably better photos with the right photographer if you are shooting portraits, weddings, people in general ect if you are into extreme sports or wildlife d500 is a clear winner and may be worth the extra money but try to invest in full frame lenses either way as in the future generations full frame will always be superior in one way or another EDIT: additionally from what iv seen the d750 outperforms the d500 (which it should) in high iso and is one of the kings of iso so both are incredible for high iso but ignore all of those extended iso at 25600 both become unusable and you shouldn't go over 6400 MAX anyway
no its not
i have both
In Germany the 750 is much cheaper too
Great content Jared I'm coming from a Nikon D7000 a D500 would be tempted the only Nikon glass I have atm is AFS 24-85mm, and the Sony A7 III just came out as well what would you recommend between the Nikon D500 or the A7 iii thank you for your input and have a Blessed and safe week and weekend
When I first started playing guitar I bought a $200 Yamaha. Many years and guitars later I bought a $2,000 Gibson, which I will keep forever. If I'd bought the Gibson on day one I'd have saved a lot of money, but I'd never recommend to someone just starting out that they buy a Gibson. Or a D500. Even though I own and love both.
Jared Polin Which do you think it's better to buy. Nikon D750 full frame if Nikon D500 DX?
If you had to use 2 cameras for a wedding.....what would you recommend as a second camera with the D500?
First, I do enjoy your videos. You put a lot of production value into them and I appreciate this. But I've got to disagree with you on this. Most of your points are spot on, but the recommendation is where I have most of my beef. I need to set the stage for a moment, so bear with me. I've been shooting Nikon Digital since the D1. I've owned, the D1, 2-D1h's, D2h, D2x, D100, D70, D200, D300, D800 and now I walk out the house with a D750 and a D500 in my kit. I've shot news, sports at all levels, fashion, glamour, wedding and travel/landscape in the past 16 years of Nikon Digtial (and I've got over 35 years of being published and selling photography professionally). I only have full frame glass with most of it being the fixed f2.8 zooms.
I loved my D800 right up until it was stolen. But it is not a camera I would recommend for anything beyond low volume shooting, such as travel, landscapes and portraiture (fashion/glam included). For anything that requires large numbers of photos or speed is concerned: weddings, sports, news, event photography the 36mp sensor is too much. The files are too slow to get off the camera, to slow to process and you end up throwing away most of the image because it's just to big. Build wise it was an amazing camera. The time I had it, I was doing a lot of travel and it was the perfect body to shoot sea lions in Morrow Bay or capturing fantastic images of Mt. Baker in Washington state. But I dreaded shooting a 1000+ photo wedding on it. After it got boosted, I replaced it with a D750. Not everyone can afford a D5/D4s when glass is more important. The D810 isn't good for about half the types of photography out there. While I'm disappointed that NIkon chose to put the 750 in a consumer body, for weddings, portraiture, event photography, pretty much everything other than sports, it's probably the camera for any professional that's not doing landscape work or sports work. Even at 6.5 fps, you can still shoot sports. Most people shouldn't be spraying and praying anyway. I'm old school. Let me get it in one shot. Because DOF is different between a DX camera and a full frame camera and the expense of covering the wide side (and it's video is no slouch!) the D750 should still get top-nods not as a beginner camera but one that many professionals should have in their bag.
Now no professional should walk on to a job with only one camera. Having a second body is pretty much a requirement (buying 2 - D5's is way out of the question for most people's budgets). I chose to retire my D300 and get a D500 to complement the D750. I have wide angle capacity on the D750, The D500 gives me more telephoto reach. The image sizes are comparable. I just shot a wedding and image size wise, there isn't much of a noticeable difference. The two blended well.
For sports and wildlife photographers (and probably people chasing their kids activities), the D500 is a no brainer. If the photographer has investment in DX glass, the D500 is a no brainer. It shouldn't be called a starter camera. That's a D5500. You're going to find many photojounalists with a D500 in the bag. For portrait/landscape work, the D810 is the way to go. For wedding photographers, the D750 is probably the camera of choice with a D500 tagging along.
I've only had one shoot on the D500. But yea. Wow. It is all the hype that it's gotten and more.
I am debating which one to choose and so reading your reply was very helpful. But there's one issue which is confusing. It's about using FX glass on a DX body which I assume you do. Are you happy with the results? I can't find a definitive answer. It seems to be Tony Northrup's argument, which is based on objective research vs. the opinions of a number of pro's. Both are pretty compelling for different reasons. Even DPReview used a Tamron 85mm to shoot its sample shots and it looks great on my screen. Would really appreciate the benefit of your experience.
There are two things to consider when using FX glass on DX bodies. 1. In almost every case, lenses have their sweet spot in the middle. Distortion tends to be around the edges. DX bodies use the best part of the lens. Getting wide. My widest lens is a 20mm prime. Then I jump to 24mm. For me that's plenty wide for what I do. But on DX bodies, those become 30mm and 36mm and that's not wide angle enough. Nikon makes plenty of DX lens options that can get you into the 16-18mm range (24-27 effective). But FX glass becomes harder to find and more expensive in a hurry. I've got choices, to stay FX of: 16-35/f4, 17-35/f2.8 or 12-24mm/F2.8 and a couple of prime lens options if I want to stay with Nikkors!
Now there is a third factor that has nothing to do with DX vs. FF lenses, but rather using any lens on a DX camera. And that's the DOF problem. If you have a D500 with a 35mm lens and a D750 with a 50mm lens you have roughly the same field of view, so you can shoot at the same distance to subject. A 35mm lens at the same F.stop has more depth of field than a 50mm at the same depth of field. So 35/F2.8 on DX and 50mm/F4 on FX result in a similar image. You could put a 50mm on both, but the DX camera has to back up 1.5x the distance (say the FF camera is at 10 feet, the DX camera needs to be at 15 feet to keep the same field of view). At 10 feet there will be less DOF than at 15 feet, or roughly an f.stop's worth.
Generally its a non-issue that's blown up a lot bigger than it is (no pun intended). Only if you're doing really narrow DOF does it become a problem. Trying to shoot headshots at F2.8 doesn't leave much of the face in focus. You might find that the eyes are in focus but the tip of the nose and ears won't be. I generally stop down 2/3 to a stop if I can afford the light just to have enough depth of field for the person I'm photographing to be sharp throughout their body. Headshots need to be in the F8-F11 range anyway. Landscapes you want more DOF not less, so it's not as big a deal.
+Rob Miracle
Thnx for the reply Rob. So, in your experience, you are happy with the images you get with FX lenses on a DX body.
Very happy. If I was a wide angle fan, perhaps a little less so.
Cheers
I own both D750 and D500 and use both for nature and wildlife. On my recent trip to Yellowstone, I had the Nikon 300 2.8 vrll attached to the D750 and Nikon 70-200 2.8 with the D500. There where times I swapped the lenses on both. For landscapes, I enjoy the full frame and in really low light conditions I still referred back to the D750. This body has already proven itself to me under extreme low light conditions, photographing Lions in South Africa and it kept being a work horse all the the way until the night. The D500 however started becoming my go to body for wildlife simply because of the focusing system performing very fast and obtaining just about every capture in focus. The buffer is what won me over on the D500. For wildlife, its a world of difference.. My only wish would be for the shutter sound to be more like that of the D810. I have encountered wildlife that don't mind flash, but do mind the sound. Either camera works great, it all falls down to your photography.
after all, its not about choosing the camera.. its about choosing the best camera for YOU... after considering my shoots i am still on d750 coz i take photos and videos.. mostly portraits, wedding, events, club, etc.. and as per my research, i've found that the d750 can give me better results than a d500.. if i was just a widlife/nature photographer i would go with d500... d750 has better dynamic range and performs a bit better than d500 in low light..
Hey Jared! I have about a year or so of experience using Nikon DSLR's. I always use manual. I have a budget of about $1,500. Is the Nikon D7200 a good choice at the time being for that price? Thank you.
I love my D500 and you helped me make my choice easy....
Jared, I have seen D750 bodies on the grey market for $1300. Would you still recommend the D500 @ $2000? The $700 in savings can go towards glass.
Always almost but no cigar. If the D500 was full frame I would totally have gotten it. So.... I just bought my second D750 and I've never been happier. Actually the "consumer" D750 out performs the D810 on so many levels but still referred to as a "consumer" lol
But once you put full frame lenses on the D500 don't you run into not getting as sharp of results in perceptual megapixels? For example on the Canon side, my 24-70 2.8 ii is really sharp on a Canon 5D Mark iii or a Canon 5DSR, but on the 7D Mark ii it's less sharp than the kit lens resolving only 7 megapixels.... Meaning putting quality glass of 2 grand resolves less than the kit lens of 300 dollars. Resolving 19 megapixels on the 5D iii and around 33 megapixels on the 5DSR. That would be a big deal to me. Unless you need the fast buffer, because I could crop 1.5x and still have more detail, though the sensor will have more detail of the crop camera. If you were doing portraits, not events, or Landscapes wouldn't the D750 be better because of the detail with the lenses? Assuming one is using 2.8 zooms and FX lenses. Also with video, would you choose more resolution over 1080p resolution with a full frame field of view and depth of field? I'd rather have the 1080p. Because the 4k is higher resolution but once you crop that many times thats a really small sensor. I don't mind the super 35mm crop like Sony and Canon does with 4k.
+Skyler King Don't you mean DCKmark 😚
Well how about this. If an fx lens on a dx camera looks really sharp, there shouldn't be a problem. If you start pixel peeping it'll matter, but usually you don't really print pictures or even look at pictures when they are at 100 percent crop.
Skyler King I absolutely use DXOMark, I've found it to be accurate in every test I've done. When I was a beginner I had the original 7D and I bought the 24-70 2.8, this is when the 7D was brand new and I paid 2 grand for that lens and though it would open to 2.8, it wasn't as sharp as APS-C lens. I had no idea why back then. But this is not a claim that DXOMark makes that isn't true. You can waste a lot of money and not get better results. It wasn't until I got the 5D Mark ii that I was able to actually see what the 24-70 2.8 was like. I now have the 24-70 2.8 ii which is extremely sharp for a zoom lens, and I see that it resolves less than the APS-C kit lens on the 7D Mark ii. DigitalRev did a video about this as well. Tony Northup has some good videos about it, where he will provide the Raw files for download if one doesn't believe this has any bearing. It's a pretty big deal to spend 2 grand on a lens and find out it doesn't look any better than what you had. Although Sigma is stepping up and making APS-C glass now, they have a 1.8 zoom now for Nikon and Canon APS-C, but neither Nikon nor Canon stepped up to do it.
Why would what lens affect the megapixel output of the camera? The same light passes through the lens irrespective to whats on the back of it?
The 5DS-R and 7D Mark II have the same pixel size, so at 100% magnification you're viewing both at the same size (you're not enlarging more on one than on the other). There can be other differences like the AA filter (whose effect is cancelled on the 5DS-R, but not on the 7D-II).
What's the best camera for a starter and I mean starter like 400-1000 dollar camera, what would you suggest? Just subbed!! Great vids!
Now I have D600 with 24-70, 70-200 and 50/1.4. I want to buy another body for low light action shooting. Is D500 a right choice?
Hi! I shoot a lot of concert and thinking about upgrading to either a D500 or D750. I will be putting a Tamron 70-200 2.8 G2 lens on it most of the time. Which one do you think is a better choice? Thanks!
I'm about to buy my D500 in 2 weeks, this video made me 10x more excited!!!!
So my camera kit includes the D810 & D750, the 200-500 f/5.6 VR, 70-200 f/2.8 VR, 24-70 f/2.8, 16-35 f/4 VR, 20 mm f/1.8. I like to shoot landscapes, concerts and wildlife with a leaning towards the wildlife (I live & work in Yellowstone). My question is: should I sell my D750 to finance a D500? Is the aps-c going to help my reach for wildlife with my currents lenses. I also use the TC1.4ll on the 200-500.
Where do you get the ISO performance is "better" on the D500? DXO Mark shows a different story, where the ISO performance of the D500 is 1324 versus D750 2956 (higher is better). Also the dynamic range and color depth are higher on the D750? I like your videos but this video does not seem impartial.
My primary love is Landscape. So what do you guys think is the best for Landscape D750 or D500? I always thought full frame was better for landscapes. I wonder how they compare in dynamic range?
Hi, please suggest is d750 still best DSLR to upgrade from APS-c to full frame, or z6 mirror less is better option. I want to upgrade and I am an enthusiast photographer.
Of course they'll replace the d750 they sold a ton of them.... Overall I agree for most people the d500 might be better. But for portraits and landscapes the d750 is better. Due to the more shallow DOF you can achieve and wider lenses also the extra 4MP and dynamic range does make a difference.
Yeah but don't buy a NEW D750 right now. Buy one second hand, buy a D810 or wait for the D750's successor.
It depends... I use both extensively. First misconception, DoF has nothing to do with sensor size. It's related to distance, true focal length (Not DX vs FX), and aperture. Do I miss 4MP, your kidding me? DX pixel density more significant even for landscapes. It boils down to FX is better for wide-angle since the DR and ISO are now about equal. Some day a 47MP Nikon with an enlarged D500 sensor. Everyone happy but the pocketbook.
+Jordan Russell I agree with that. I'd definitely go for used.
+terrym45 technically you are right but in practical terms they are much different. I've tested a canon 85 1.2 vs Fuji 56 1.2 and shot the same subject at the same distance and you can definitely see a huge difference wide open in DOF. Because on apsc the 1.2 translates to 1.8 DoF. What stays the same is exposure.
+eur0thug Same f/stop, same distance, different focal lengths = different DoF. Nothing to do with sensor. I assume different cameras, one crop the other full? To get same subject size you would have to change distance or focal length, either would change the Dof. In your case you changed focal length.
Hey!!! I own a Nikon D5300 I been using for over a year now and I'm not satisfied with its result I want more image quality and low light performance and a better battery life. Which should I prefer more the D750 or D500? And what piece of glass do you recommend for best portraits?
Hello guys, I've a question!
I am currenly looking at a new camera body - and I dont know which to pick. I am shooting events, e.g. clubs, making videos and a lot of nightlife photos.
Which shall I pick?
Jakob
Jakob Lyager Birkedal hello)
did you get answer on your question?) thanks
also very interested
Hey!
It ended up with I decided to switch to Canon! :) Bought a Canon 6D with some nice lenses!
Jakob Lyager Birkedal what lenses do you think will be great? my friend wants to buy 6d +24-105 f4
but I'm still in crazy choice. my sigma 18-35 1.8 art keeping me with nikon. I think d7200 or d500. I like d750 but again, I must to buy lenses and canon much better with video
The D500 should be a beast! But the FX sensor is lovely in low light tho. I bought the Canon 6D with 24-105 f4 and 17-40 f4 and soon I'll buy a sigma 35m art! You can see some of my photos/videos on my instagram
Jakob Lyager Birkedal I found you in Facebook but instagram can't be opened. How can I find you in insta?
Jared, I used to have a Canon 5D, and then had a Nikon D3100, I am looking to get back into a camera and I like the full frame, but just watched this video and I am thinking the D500 may be which way I would go, which glass would you recommend, I know better glass equals better photos. I do portraits, landscapes, wildlife, and sports. I also do video. I think your review has made me lean more towards the D500, or D810. Thanks, Jason.
Sir, is D500 still relevant in 2018, for starter, starter who not only wishes to shoot family portraits but also sports n wild life photos, though I m a starter. Is D500 still relevant for someone like me?
I have a D750 and although I would like to have the focusing system of the D500, I would not change over to it as I think the D750 is a more well-rounded camera, a jack of all trades, so to speak. The advantages of full frame in terms of optics can simply not be beaten in my view, even by a DX camera one generation ahead. If I were shooting sports or wildlife, the D500 would be a no-brainer, but given I am more into street photography, portraiture and some landscape, the D750 does it for me.
What I am really looking forward to is the update to the D750 as I would love to get this new focusing system and hopefully no AA filter...
What camera do you recomend me between Nikon d7500 and d750 if I get them in almost same price (1500 dls). Thanks
so for daily photography which one you will preffer as earlier i have used nikon D7200for one year and now looking for a new one....so nikon d750 or nikon d500?
The 750 will probably suffice for general purposes
How about lowlight situations?
Will the d500 win over the d750? Think noise....
So, I have a D3400 and I want to upgrade to something for Astrophotography and also capturing my Parrots flying which one would be a better buy or should I get a different Camera brand?
What d750 is for starters ? I'm in bussness till 2012 I'm still on Nikon 7200 it might take more time to go full frame
Hi jared,its always nice to watch your videos for real in depth reviews.I am planning to buy a dslr but confused between d500,d810 and d750.Should i wait for successor to 810? I like vlogging besides taking photographs.For Action shots i use sony fdrx1000v.
Abyshines hello) did you get answer? )
which one focus's better in Live View? can either match the Canon D80 with 3d ?
As always, very informative and insightful on the equipment. Thanks, Jared!
What would you recommend between the D500 vs the D810? Could you do the same type of recommendations between the 2. Which one would you recommend if I'm looking to upgrade to one of them? I shoot my cityscapes in San Diego CA. Also want to get into portraits and maybe weddings. Please help!
Which is better for portrait shots in daylight d750 or d7200 plz reply me.
hi.. would you compare D780 vs D500.. and especially for birding photos...
Am a ametuer and a mobile photographer looking to buy new camera and start with photography. Whats the best camera to start with. My considerations are Eos M5 , a6300, d500 . any other suggestions ? any full frame recommendations? please help me with this
Great analysis!
You said a lot to invest on good glasses. You are completely right. I bought the D500 with the new nikkor 16 - 80mm f2.8 (great lens) and maybe i need something more. What do you suggest, on third parties glasses, if i wanted to shoot urban low light photos?
I am definitely going to go with the D500 but the issue now is lens...and just like you say "Quality Glass" is everything! While I would like to stick with all NIKOR lens, my budget says "NO"! What are your thoughts on Tamaron lens?!
Get tamron 18-400(light and carry everywhere) or 18-600(heavy) depending on your requirements
All... i am and advanced amateur shooting with a Nikon d7100. I am going to go professional on a 1/2 time basis. What are your thoughts on the camera body to anchor my "business"? Staying with a DX body is fine. Many of my lenses are FX lens so moving to a FX body is ok too. i do not have a back up camera so the D7100 will be the back up. Your thoughts appreciated.
My take :
What's more important is not the camera but the person behind it and his/her skill level.
The D750 and D500 are both fatastic cameras . I just wish Nikon could make more pro lenses for DX cameras ! Moreover the 1Nikon 17-55 f2.8 DX is way too old now .
For me between the D750 or D500 it's all up to what type of photography you do. I personally value Full frame anytime any day but I do agree that the D500 is very very good !
Any camera be bought by a beginner as long as he/she has the money for it and be " a beginner's camera" ;-) #kidding .
My personal recommandation for a beginner or an aspiring pro would be :
on the DX side : D7200 or D500 (if you can afford it ) + lenses : Sigma Art 18-35 f1.8 and Sigma Art 50-100 f1.8 (dx lenses). D500 is an excellent choice for video shooters.
On the FX side : D610 and invest more in good glass and lighting equipment ; if low light is a priotiy for you then go for the D750. In case you like to make Jumbo size print D810 (if you can afford it)
I strongly recommend the D500 as a back up camera (pls keep in mind the crop factor) or for sport ,wildlife and shooters as the camera was specifically tailored for it.
It’s a starter professional camera and even some sites have quoted D500 and D750 as an enthusiast camera as they are easy to use. Well, it depends on the budget for some starters.
Currently using a Nikon D5100 but would LOVE to get into a D500...the ability to shoot in 4K really has me thinking maybe now is the time!
Would you choose the D500 over the D750 for concert photography? I recently shot a few concerts with the D750: loved the shots, but missed out on some due to the slow buffer, but if the low light and dynamic range is still better in the d750, that's more important to me than the buffer.
So you would recommend the d500 over the 750 for weddings even?
It depends on if one tries to spy on the wedding from a large distance or is the hired photographer for the event :D
Hi Jared, i love your reviews but i have some questions in mind. Does the Megapixel difference make a difference in terms of sharpness? because D750 have 24.3 and 20.9 for D500.
My second question is that doesn't FX camera have a better depth of field and captures more details comparing it with a DX camera?
My third question will be, which will you recommend me if i am currently using a DX camera and i already have 2 DX lenses plus have been shooting for 3 years now?
Please reply, because i am planning to switch my camera but i am having a hard time deciding which one should i get. Thank you
Everytime he say ''Jared Polin Fro knows photo'' i do the hand thing with him :)
Everytime he says ''Jared Polin Fro knows photo', I want to punch my screen.
I'd go for the full frame
Just when I thought I was ready to move on to the next step. I'm currently shooting a Canon 7D (original). I do mainly Landscapes and Portraits so I've been looking to move up to the Full Frame level and go from the amateur/hobby shooter to a Semi-Pro that can start to send a small invoice. I've had my eyes on making the jump to Nikon from the Canon based on their advancements in technology etc. and was really set on the D750, now after watching this video and reading some of the posts down below is it best to hold off?? Is there any word of a replacement to the D750 in the very near future? I don't want to go out and buy one only to see the price significantly drop in 30-60 days and something come out that's better for the same price.... I have no interest in staying with a Crop sensor as it's a pain when shooting the landscapes and the portraits. I'd appreciate some input and thoughts on this.....
It's all letters on the paper. What you just did was reading the specs which we are able to read too :) your real world reviews are what we really appreciate and they are really good! I say D500 is a great camera, it's new, all new technology... I never shot D500 to be honest, but to compare it to a full frame camera is a little lame. And 150AF points, yeah, on paper... I own D750. Last year I saw a bunch of videos on youtube which compared it to 5DMkIII - come on people!! Who needs that sort of comparison? If I wanted to become a pro photographer I would have bought a pro camera... if I wanted to buy a newer toy, I would have bought D500... Not because it's "better" than D750 or 5DMkIII or D4 ... but because it fits my needs which you showed on the Real World Reviews. For that - Thank you :)
Own both and use both extensively. I totally agree with your conclusions. Had none of the recall problems although I did get it serviced. Very fast turnaround times BTW. I would question as to the D500 being a startup or beginners camera. The settings are complicated, although your videos are a great help. The controls on the D500 are MUCH better but somethings might be missing that a beginner expects. The D500 needs a prepared and educated user. The D750 is a little more friendly for a startup. I have done well as a pro consultant helping clients get their D500 setup and techniques of its used
the d750 is still a difficult camera to use in anything other than auto. basically need to learn the buttons and that's hard for new users but I agree that the d500 is even harder with no mode dial and soft programmable modes.
the d500 isn't cleaner at high iso

I agree. I don't take the time to compare the two just fix the results and they both fix extremely easily in LR. I teach aperture mode to all my beginners to start and no problem.
in Australia the d500 is a pretty similar price to a d810. $3100/$3350. which one would you pick?
D810
Can someone help me out... im still using a Nikon D5200 and want to upgrade..
The lenses I have are
18-140
70-300 VRII
200-500
Most of the time im doing aviation photography.. but sometimes I also wanna make landscape shots and nightshots.. But the prizes of the fullframe lenses are ridicilous and over the top for me.. Obviously full-frame is better.. But what should I get?
The D500 has better ISO noise performance than the D750? Fro Knows Jack Shit.
@tom lewis Too bad that's wrong. According to all tests the D750 is still better.
@@TechnoBabble Did some testing on both my d750 and d500 and the smaller sensor really shined in higher ISO. Cleaner at 6400 and can even be acceptable at 12800.
I'm not sure how you get better ISO performance from the D500, the D750 is cleaner to my eye and rightly so being FX.
This is a terrible review. There is no professional cameras, only professional photographers. And you're recommendations for a "starter" camera is ridiculous. You are talking about cameras that cost well over $1k - $2k. No person starting photography needs to spend that type of money. These companies make plenty of budget cameras suitable for people wanting to get into the hobby. If a person wants to start with a Nikon, the 3000, 5000, and 7000 series makes sense. And you can still make great photos with any of these camera series without dumping your wallet.
Which Nikon fx camera do you recommend for an enthusiast landscape and event/concert photographer?
I just walked away from my local camera store with a D750. The arguments in this video are sound, but the bundles on the D750 are quite cheap when you can get the 24-120 f4 Nikkor plus a full frame camera for 2,500. That's what it boils down to for me. Plus, I have a hard time paying more for fps which means little to me and a crop sensor with less MP. I suppose for videographers the D500 is better, but I don't agree the D750 lags in low light performance. It's a stellar camera in my week of owning it. If it suddenly craps out, I will sing a different tune.
Starter camera: Nikon d3200, Nikon d3300, Nikon d5200, Nikon d5300 or Canon eos 1300d (18-55mm kit)
Which would be the best also taking prices into consideration?
D5500 is nice.
Is the 100€ difference worth it for a touch screen though? It's very similiar to the D5300 according to specs, so on the long run, will the touch have it's uses?
+Archey Blu yes it's worth it.
wellp, can't argue with the dots I guess x:
Yes but... Anyone who is interested in learning to control the camera, a used/new D7100 or D7200 (if you are into wildlife or sports) would be much better. The D 5000 series controls grove me nuts and I have almost gotten over it.
Great video Jared. You pointed out a few things that I completely missed on between the two bodies. Thanks
For wildlife photography, this camera is the bomb. I can't wait to be able to afford it !
I just got a D500 about 2 weeks back. Its just about ergonomically perfect for me and can see why all big reviews highly recommended it. BUT, It's just a shade under £2,500 with the 16-80! who's spending that as a beginner?
Awesome! Thanks for the video comparison. I currently own the D7100 and have been looking into the D750 as an entry into full frame since the D810 is way out of my price range. Now that the D500 is out, I've been very interested in it as well.
I'm thinking of sticking with the DX format for now until the replacement for the D810 comes out.
I just did a Imaging Resource Comparometer on the D500 and D750. I'm so confused! D500 is not only sharper but has better color reproduction. Could it be the Expeed 5 or lack of a low pass filter thats making the images sharper?
hey Jared I have a D7000 with three prime lenses three months into my photography Adventure and doing pretty well with 4 paid gigs my question is should my next investment be a body like new d500 or a are couple a really solid lenses?
whatever you need to get the job done.
Where do you feel your D7000 or current lenses are/could be letting you down?
+Jordan Russell Low light event situations
"If you're jumping into the Full Frame game you better be looking at the D810 range or the D5"
What???
right! so you either shoot 36mp or 12fps. no middle ground.
Good video in general. I have read and seen reviews online that talk about the D7200 being almost on par with the D500 in regards to ISO sensitivity. DxOMark has the D7200 sports (low-light) score higher than the D500. Go figure. It's safe to say that all 3 cameras (D7200, D750, D500) are a force to be wrecking with.
As the D7500 uses the same sensor as the D500, does that mean the ISO performance of the D7500 is better than the D750?
Right now, I'm struggling to decide on a new body. [D500 vs. D750 vs. D810]
- For me, I can tell if an image was shot with a full frame sensor versus a crop sensor. The image of a full frame camera has a distinct wideness to it. Full frame looks full while crop sensor images look...well cropped. It's hard to explain.
Not to say crop-sensor images look bad at all. I'm just attracted to how full frame images look. That's part of what made me consider a full frame camera.
- The D500 is amazing in low light and so is the D750. So they're equal in that respect.
- The D500 has a distinct advantage over the D750 in that it doesn't have an AA filter which makes images noticeably sharper, and that's a big deal to lots of photographers out there. (A lot of people don't address the effects of an AA filter.)
- With that being said, I'd love to jump into the full frame game but the d500 is outperforming the d750 for me.
- The next camera to consider would be the d810. I considered this camera simply because it's the cheapest full frame not to incorporate an AA filter. I thought that perhaps the absence of the AA filter accompanied by the increase in megapixels would make it incredibly sharp.
- the images are sharp. Very sharp. With plenty of resolution to give the sharper image.
- The low light performance was much better than my d5300 but worse than both the d750 and d500.
- Upon testing the autofocus of the d810 I discovered that the autofocus wasn't keeping up with moving subjects.
The d500 outperforms the d750 in sharpness and focusing, so now it comes down to the d500 vs. d810.
D500: better autofocus, better low light
D810: sharper images (no AA and 50% more pixels), fuller (not cropped) look of a full frame image
Obviously if money were not a factor I would get both bodies and use them for different things. Money IS a factor though so I can only choose one body.
I'm a street photographer who takes pictures at night in fast paced situations, but I also do portraits so I'm torn.
I'm stuck at this point. I don't really know what would suit me best.
Advice and tips would be appreciated.
what? D810 is the clear winner for your need in street and portraits lol. D500 is only for sport and wildlife.
I agree. the 810 will serve Austin's purposes well. I hear it is amazing at low light
did you consider use for studio portrait shooting and general strobist work when you compared the two ?
with avail light; agree.....when using flash/strobes maybe not
I own a D750 and it is a super camera. That being said, the D500 is an AWESOME unit. A great one two combo in a bag for a wedding photog :-)
Hello, can someone please confirm that the link is right for the d750?
Which camera is best for photography?
1. Nikkon d750
2. Nikkon d500
3.sony a7iii
This changed my mind on the d500
hello guys am looking new camera ,am shooting weddings, birthdays and parties.sometimes am using video records also, so which camera is good for me, nikon d500 or d750.befor am using DX camera, give me some suggestion.
What does the numbers stand for? Seeing the lower number is more expensive and obviously all in all should be better because of that
