Recommending a 2 thousand dollar camera for people 'starting out' may be a bit of an extravagant idea, mate.

Since a starter kit is a D750, I have not been doing photography yet since I am still on the D7000

"Jumping into the full-frame game, I recommend a D810 or D5". Holy shit... :D

I miss the days of buying a film camera good for 20yrs......all you had to worry about were the lens.

Goddamn who calls a $2000 camera a "starter"?? lol

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.

D700 is better than both of these! Why, you ask? Because I own one! >,< The Best Camera is the one You Own!

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".

"If you're jumping into the Full Frame game you better be looking at the D810 range or the D5" What???

which one focus's better in Live View? can either match the Canon D80 with 3d ?

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???

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.

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!

Which Nikon fx camera do you recommend for an enthusiast landscape and event/concert photographer?

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

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.....

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

Question. Is there a big difference or concerning factor to buy refurbished vs new?

Jared Polin Which do you think it's better to buy. Nikon D750 full frame if Nikon D500 DX?

As always, very informative and insightful on the equipment. Thanks, Jared!

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.

Great video Jared. You pointed out a few things that I completely missed on between the two bodies. Thanks

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

What camera do you recomend me between Nikon d7500 and d750 if I get them in almost same price (1500 dls). Thanks

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?

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.

which one would be better for concert photography (low light)

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?

Nice job Jared! Super helpful video.

hi.. would you compare D780 vs D500.. and especially for birding photos...

Which is better for portrait shots in daylight d750 or d7200 plz reply me.

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.

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.

Thanks this was very very informative. great and enjoyable to watch

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?

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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 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.

Jared how about the moire and image sharpness between those camera? D500 has high iso capability but it's just has 20,9 MP so the detail is under the d750 ? could u explain it?

How about lowlight situations? Will the d500 win over the d750? Think noise....

The D500 has a metering mode called "Highlight-weighted", would you do a show on this setting?

Hello, can someone please confirm that the link is right for the d750?

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?

Dumb question, at the end you mentioned getting good glass, can you find as good of glass in DX as you can FX?

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.

Image quality? Great overview but I suspect that full frame still rules unless you need the extra functionality of a D500.

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.

very insightful great vid!

As the D7500 uses the same sensor as the D500, does that mean the ISO performance of the D7500 is better than the D750?

I love my D500 and you helped me make my choice easy....

if i will purchase 200-500mm FX lens for D500 body? what about image quality. because lens format is FX.

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?

I'd go for the full frame

Can u please upload the comparison between CANON 6D MARK 2 and NIKON D500 ?

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?

Thank you, this video helped me decide.

We have D750's and would love the D500 build etc with a full frame sensor, lets hope its coming soon?

I'm about to buy my D500 in 2 weeks, this video made me 10x more excited!!!!

which one is latest ...???

So you would recommend the d500 over the 750 for weddings even?

If you had to use 2 cameras for a wedding.....what would you recommend as a second camera with the D500?

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?

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.

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

The D750 is like £500 cheaper in the UK, which could really affect the decision.

currently I shoot with a D3000, so really anything is an upgrade, hoping to come into some money for the D750 Love your videos

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.

Literally trying to decide right now so thanks for this video. I'm buying in a few days.

Wats the max iso i can go to without putting in grain

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!!!!

Liked +1 Jared ! thank you for the great videos of the comparison once again. In my honest opinion, technology constantly evolve and will improve hence, one will just need to decide if the price they pay for is worthy. D500 is definitely steps ahead against the 750 and for shooting speed stuff, I don't quite think the DX feature will be a huge setback with the advantage of new tech since its still considered as pro series.

nikon d500 or nikon d610? Plz I'm waiting!

the d750 for a starter?o.o

I've wanted the D750 since it came out but I also need decent glass as the ones I have now won't do .... D500 hey ? .... now I'm confused 🤷‍♀️

I want to eventually buy both

Dxomark gives D750 iso result of 2956 ISO and d500 1324 ISO ??

can you make a video about the sony a6000 and 70-200mm f4 sony lens, shooting sports? please let me know, i need that video please, make

I trust your reviews, but really high ISO better than the D750??

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.

This changed my mind on the d500

I own a d340O is image quality going to be better....

Is there a camera that is better but cheaper than the Nikon D750 in terms of picture quality + has a flip screen and a silent focus?

Is there ever a time when someone would use the expandable ISO?

What does the numbers stand for? Seeing the lower number is more expensive and obviously all in all should be better because of that

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.

Which is cheaper?

Jared, great video as always. It's nice that you made this video even though i have already compared both of these cameras and have made up my own mind. D500 ;). I just think it's funny how people are losin their shits over this. Here i am still shootin with a d3300 and still getting good fucking feedback. People just need to chill swear. Keep it up my man.

in Australia the d500 is a pretty similar price to a d810. $3100/$3350. which one would you pick?

What happens if you use DX lenses on an FX body, and FX lenses on a DX body?
