The D500 was unveiled 2 years later than the Df and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before delving through a thorough comparison, below is a concise view of how the D500 matches up against the Df in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon D500 and Nikon Df. The full galleries are available at Nikon D500 Gallery and Nikon Df Gallery.

More often than not, it is very tough to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements just by going over technical specs. The photograph below might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the D500 and Df.

As you have seen, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The D500 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Nikon D500 will offer more detail having an extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The younger D500 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
