My wife and I recently got a D500 each to pair with our Tamron 150-600 G1 lenses. My main hope was for an autofocus system that was consistent and accurate. 10 FPS is nice but not a big consideration for me so far as it's not how I tend to shoot. Perhaps that will change with BIF shots. I haven't even bothered with XQD cards yet as shortish bursts do not need them.
All I can say is that the D500 has brought the Tamron to life and very rarely misses focus. This camera is in a different league AF wise from anything I've used before, which includes D300s, D7100 and D800.
I seem to getting useful shots at ISO 3200 and even slightly above which is nice, but not my reason to buy it. It may be a finer grain of noise as it cleans up quite well in Nik define.
Anyway that's it for my micro review, but if you're on the fence about buying one get off and enjoy the ride.
