It looks like an Israeli website Dtown has leaked the first official photos of the soon to be announced Nikon D500.

I know there will be a lot of talk about what is good and bad and new and old when this camera is officially announced but the one thing that struck me about this camera is the lack of a display on the top of the camera. This single knob / no screen puts this camera in the same group as the D40 / D60. It is very much like the Sony DSLR cameras.

Other specs:

  • 2.7″ screen
  • Movie mode
  • 19 scene modes
  • 11 point Auto focus
  • ISO 3200

There is also a new AF-S DX Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED lens
