D500 SOOC

Well, in that case (multiple m. cards and lenses tested) it seems you have no other way out but to return it, I wish you the best of luck with another D500 sample. Mine should arrive this week, I hope it will deliver just like my D810 with no glitches at all.

What kind of focus problem you had with your D800E?

FWIW, I have tried 17~55 f2.8, 24~70 f2.8, 70~200 f2.8 VR1, 300 f4, 500 f4 VRll, 105 f2.8.
All of them showed issues. I do not have any 'kit' lenses. The 70~200 were probably the best of the bunch, but even those shots needed more PP than I wanted to spend time doing. I usually shoot Raw+jpg fine, and process the raw files for important events, but I do like to just grab some nice jpgs, SOOC when doing pleasure shooting. As far as memory card problems, look around the forums, how many other makes, and models have this issue? I have had issue with 2 cards from different manufactures. This was just the last of what I wanted to deal with. And with a 30 day return policy, why should I risk keeping it past that, and have it spend time in the service center. I want to make pictures, I don't want to have to keep fiddle/#!@%$* around with it to get what I paid for. As soon as I can find another, I will buy one, and find this thread and post nice images. I am sure that will happen

Don't think of me as ungrateful for people offering up suggestions, I really do appreciate the comments and suggestions. But also accept the fact that sometimes, a problem gets thru. I had a focus problem with a D800e. The service center took care of it. I had a problem with a D300, the service center replaced it. Oil spots, fogging etc. etc. Stuff happens, and I try to deal with it.

Thank you.
