Post your US D500 launch event findings here - Part Three

There are really only two types of camera people: The rational sane ones and the irrational loonies - the rational - sane ones wait for the camera to be released, reviewed and commented on by actual users - and also wait to sell old equipment to finance the new purchase until the new camera is vetted by the above - the irrational loonies sell old equipment immediately once the new camera is announced, pre-order the new one a second before they list for sale their old cameras, lens, flashes and hope that the reviews and user comments and their own personal experience once they get the camera supports their hasty (rash?) decision - I don't know about you all - but I'm a bit of a loon - and I'm not talking the feathered kind (sigh).

I think we know the weight saving will be damned close to 500 grams Bb. I don't see that as dramatic enough to worry about as I have no difficulty - other than comfort over several hours - with the weight of the 300 f2.8 VR handheld, but I do think this will accelerate the recent increase in wildlife photographers using the 300 f2.8 handheld (especially on DX).

If we're all loons, how can the slow adopters trust what we say?

The comment of my colleague as to the D5 ISO 80,000 image quality was "unbelievable". And it was a full-size image on computer screen He could compare it to the D4S images taken under the same conditions

Sorry... I forgot the main comment in my previous message written three minutes ago. Noisy conditions here and writing on my mobile phone...

because of those experts comments about the physics limits and all. I want to believe it, and I will be very happy if your colleague is right and I'm wrong . Once we see real samples from D5 by end of the month we will have all answers.. May be before that..

where are all those images people normally sneak out of the events? In two weeks time the torture may be over.

I read alot of posts and threads on the d500 but yet i dont have it clear regarding the tranfer of files from de camera to the smart device.

could you tranfer a Sinlge Raw file vía Bluetooth or snapbridge?

whats the smallest jpeg file size you can transfer?

Where can you down load the snapbridge aplicación for your smarthphone ?

What about transfering video vía snapbridge?

Thanks alot

Alex

Thats rright other than 2 megabytes i havent seen other image size for tranfer mentioned. Many reports here have mentioned the 2megas, vídeos of nikon guys in the events alson just mention that size. If we talk about a full resolution jpeg file, then it might be around 10megas or more.

in any case 2megas seem to be quite big for me if i want to share several images on the web.

it seems 2 megas is just one of very few options available for transfering images
