The new AF system is shared with the D5, and is called 'frame filling', which matches what I read about the D5, looks like no CF card, one XQD and one SD. Tilting screen...
Found the first buzzkill - the viewfinder. D5 is 100% coverage with 0.72x magnification, D500 is 98% coverage with 1.0x magnification. Seems an odd place to skimp on a pro camera.

The D500 is starting to look like Nikon's first serious attempt to make real hybrid video/still camera. But yes, 10fps with a 200 image buffer - I think that'll help people live with the XQD card.

I'm in SHOCK !!!
and it looks like I better not sell my one XQD card now.
Shame for how much I have invested in CF.
No U1/U2, but I can live with that.
Now, look at the photos of the top of the D5 and D500... they swapped the Mode and ISO buttons... WTF
I can't wait to see how that works in person.. at first, with the lack of U1/U2 it may be tougher to quickly change ISO, but it may work, even though it is yet another layout change, and yet another layout to remember when using multiple bodies.

No pop-up flash on the D500. So, damn, it's not like they didn't have the room for a better viewfinder.

According to the specs it does have a dual card slot.

DX?!
Dead on arrival for me.
Nevertheless, I just ordered a D750 couple days ago. At least I'm not not kicking myself for fearing the D500 makes my yet-to-arrive D750 obsolete.

I waited long enough for this so I'm mostly done with DX, as my D300 has been relegated to a rarely-used backup, but ISO 1,640,000? I know that's full boost mode, but that's far, far beyond anything that Canon or anyone else has released. You can practically shoot in almost total darkness with that.
Edit: I just read the specs on the D5. ISO 3,280,000, which is pretty much night vision, at full boost mode, with a high native ISO of 102,400. Also, 12-14 frames per second, etc. Good lord, man. Nikon has Canon by the cojones.

I was quite under-impressed with the D750 when I used one last year, compared to a D810 or D4 it felt like a toy.
For FX, I will gladly stick with my D810 and used either a D4/D4x/D5 when needed, but I have a feeling that the D500 will be my new workhorse.
Many pros shoot DX, especially in sports and wildlife, and for us, this is like an overdue gift from the Gods, and finally fills a 7 year void in Nikon's product line.
It is just like there is more than 1 make and model of car, we get to choose what works best for us, and fits our needs/likes.
I'm sure you'll enjoy your D750, which is awesome, just as I am sure I'm going to love my D500.

XQD seems like a dumb choice as so many pros are invested in CF cards.
But I'm excited because I just picked up a 200-500mm. Thats a whole lotta zoom on DX

unfortunately they are so much more expensive than CF which are more than SD
Like $130 for a 64 gig is on the low end, for folks who have not priced them.

I’m glad to see Nikon has returned back to it’s traditional numbering system. In the past whenever they released a flagship camera there was almost always the release of a companion camera system. The only exception was with the D4 which never had a companion D400. I wish the D500 was full frame and had 24 + mps similar to the D750. At the moment, I am still shooting with my D200 but now it's time to retire that system and upgrade to the D500.

Right, because you don't already have enough professional quality FX bodies to choose from.
It has been what, 7 or 8 years since a new professional quality DX body, and folks have the nerve to say they wish it was FX.
The reason it is a big deal is that it FINALLY is NOT FX...
"I wish it was full frame...", that's like saying I wish spaghetti was pizza, because pizza is obviously better, and what everyone wants to have all the time.

Ive been thinking about this too, and I think Nikon just gave up the only chance they had to rescue their numbering system.
The D500 should thave been the D50, or the D10 perhaps, (since D50 was already used).
Dx- pro Fx (D3, D4,D5)
Dxx - pro Dx (where the D500 shoild have been)
Dxxx - prosumer/consumer FX (D600, 750, 800)
Dxxxx - prosumer/consumer DX (D3200, D7100)

Nikon did a good move by putting 4K video on the D5. Plus the 153 AF area points is a great idea. It will make AF 3D tracking even better. If I had the money I would definitely buy one.

And Jared Polin said the D500 Touch Screen will not allow you full access of settings. Nikon Come On! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzqTeahNF1w I got this from Nikon's Website...Here it is..Nikon Shot themselves in the foot. 3 minutes at high quality only for 4K UHD 3840 x 2160/24/25/30p recording 10 minutes at highest quality or 20 minutes at normal quality setting for 1920 x 1080/50/60p recording 20 minutes at highest quality for all recording options except 4K UHD, 1920 x 1080/50/60p and 640 x 424/25/30p 29 minutes 59 seconds at normal quality for all recording options except 4K UHD, and 1920 x 1080/50/60p

4K UHD video, suitable for professional productions
The D500 can record 4K UHD (3840 x 2160)/30p/25p/24p as well as 1080/60p video for up to 29 min. 59 s*1, with simultaneous output via HDMI available. It is also possible to generate 4K UHD time-lapse movies within the camera. In Full HD or HD mode, the D500's electronic Vibration Reduction function*2 reduces the effects of camera shake in the horizontal, vertical and rotational directions during hand-held movie recording, while Active D-Lighting preserves details in highlights and shadows to capture footage with natural brightness.
*1Recorded in separate files.
*2Image area will be slightly smaller in DX-based movie format.
