This may have been stated but buyer beware your old lenses may not work as well if at all. The sensor is so good on the 500 that you will need the newer generation of glass. I bought mine only to realize my 80-20mm f2.8 no longer cut it in image quality.

I had to buy all new lenses to get the quality I needed. It's an awesome body and happy with the purchase but I was very bummed about the lens cost.

I went with:
1. 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 for kind of an all-around lens.
2. 200-500mm f/5.6 for wildlife some sports stuff.
3. I want to put a 70-200 f/2.8 in my bag but at 2700 that is going to have to wait.

Ideally, the three lenses to own are

These lenses are considered the Magic 3 expensive.​

1. AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 ED
2. AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 ED
3. AF-S VR II Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 IF-ED.

I don't always recommend books but this camera has a LOT of options and honestly I was quite overwhelmed with all of the features and how to use them properly. I ended up picking up David Busch's Nikon D500 Guide to Digital SLR Photography. It does a great job of explaining all the features and has suggestions on setting the camera up.
