When will the Nikon D500 camera start shipping?







I get asked this questions at least twice a day. A lot of people pre-ordered the D500. My guess is that the D500 will sell better than the D800 when it was announced few years ago. Here are the latest Nikon D500 shipping dates according to the three major US retailers:

The D500 was initially set to start shipping in mid-March, but then it was delayed because Nikon could not satisfy the high demand and needed to produce more cameras for the official launch. The official release date for the camera and accessories was given as “late April“:

Product name Release Date
