I'll start with "this is crude" -- a guy snuck a memory card into a pre-production D500 at a trade show -- but here are some higher ISO samples:

As with all things, I'll reserve my judgment until apples meet more apples. ;) I'll wait for the DPR High ISO slugs, or other head-to-head with known products under known shooting & processing conditions.

But yes, for what little we know, the ISO 32000 and 51200 shots look shockingly good, and that's from APS-C? However, I can't confirm his ISO levels are what he states when I download the files or dump them into an EXIF reader.

Shenanigans or legit? We shall see.

I predict that we'll see a Nikon D510 before we see a Canon 7Diii

Disagree -- Nikon abandoned that segment for years:

7D announced: 1 Sep 2009
7D2 announced: 15 Sep 2014
7D3 guess: Sep 2019

D300S announced: 30 July 2009
D500 announced: 5 Jan 2016
D600 guess: ???

I'm not a betting man, but if I was, I'd peg the ??? date to be after Sep 2019.

Not really a betting man, but I think Sabaki maybe meant an update based on QC. ;)
