    Nikon's has neglected its smaller DX-sensor DSLR lineup of late, but it just changed all that in one fell swoop by launching the D500 DSLR. The 20.9-megapixel camera has "advanced smart device capability," meaning that Nikon wants it to play well with your smartphone and other gadgets. Though packing a smaller, APS-C-sized sensor than the new flagship FX-sensor D5, it has the same Expeed 5 processor and rapid 153-point AF system. That gives it a lively 10fps shooting speed, with up to 200 shots in RAW mode. The D500 has a 100-51,200 ISO range that's expandable to a ridiculous 50-1,640,000 ISO equivalent, and like the D5, there's a brand new tiltable touchscreen.
