For me looking at the D500 the only advantage is the new AF, if I need high ISO I've got the D4.
So at the moment I don't think it's worth changing.
I ran the D3 and D300 alongside each other from day one. The D300 was supposed to be a pared down D3, but I found a cropped D3 image always matched a D300 image (apart from file size of course). The net result was. I rarely used the D300... and sold it.
I am not sure if the same relationship exists between the D4 and D500. Or put another way ...how much better is the D5 than the D4?
I would be first deciding if there is anything 'lacking' when using the D4, before shelling out on a D500....but, then, I am from Yorkshire.
Having said that, I did take advantage of having the two bodies alongside each other when going to eventing and motorsport... using the 70-200mm (or the 300mm) on the D3 and the 300mm with the D300.. to give a range of focal lengths to suit the occasion.
