The D500 is a superb camera but if your emphasis is on portraits 90% of it's features will be wasted.

Bear in mind some of the 'great' portrait lenses aren't critically sharp... Depending on your style, sometimes that 'dreamy' look can be very appealing. Using fast lenses with good bokeh is an art within an art.

I have the old MF 105 f2.5 which I love for people shots. It has nice background and is sharp enough.
