Thanks guys.

Hi. I used the 90 odd mb/s 128gig sandisk extreme SD card with my D500 for Little Owls in flight and never got a buffer lock up. Found it worked a treat, more than enough for pretty much any ...

Hi all, just to flag up I have now started my D500 blog as I have been out on some shoots with it. Wonderful camera. I'll be updating every few days with a little luck. Used as my primary camera ...

The only reason I would choose the 200-500 over the 80-400 is if you are looking specifically at smaller birds. It's a good lens but the 80-400 gives you way more photographic options, focuses very ...

Ah I see, the issue is with the grammar/working rather than the maths.

Hi ZorSy.
Those bars don't stop the battery/camera working when it gets to 0. It is just is a readout of the lifecycle/health of the battery. Not sure if it's based on a count of charges or voltage...

If the lens in this example is as stated (600nm thick), then that would translate to a glass lens of 6cm in thickness. Not sure where you are getting 1000ft from?

@zorsy
"Let's wait."

For what?

The batteries don't get 'rejected' by the camera. The meter in the menu just shows the current battery state for your reference. Also the discharge profile 'nonsense' only effects the D500 camera...

No worries. There is always the grip as well which adds a lot of power without needing to switch batteries around mid shoot.

Hi Eerovee, If it's that short I would then suggest you perhaps have a bad battery or the only other thing I can think off the top of my head is constant activation on the AF throughout the day? If ...

Hi Eerivee. Just to clarify, can you please point me at the source where this was claimed by Nikon as I have no recollection of that being the case. I may have missed it to be fair but I very much ...

Couple of things I have noted to bear in mind. D500 gives me good battery life If I don't chimp. 800-1000 shots. The LCD touch screen does seem to draw a lot of power so use of it will drain the ...

Hi. It depends on which camera you use. The D3 era cameras and before do not activate the VR with the AF-ON button but anything D800 and after does (roughly, I haven't used all the models since then).

Thanks AD_Photogs, appreciated. Glad the camera is working out for you, very responsive machine! Rich.

Evening all. For those interested I just updated the review blog with some dynamic range commentary seeing as it appears to be the hot topic of the moment. http://www.richardcostin.com/articles/nik ...

Hi Richy, I believe the Save for web function has been replaced by the export function in PS CC. Save for web is still there but with the "(legacy)" caveat.

I did consider this but $99 simply to have as a Lightroom plugin is over the top and the $19 version doesn't allow drag and drop onto the app icon on Mac, you have top file-open from within the...

A big improvement there yes, easy to track the birds in frame as the shutter fired.

Hi Bill, thanks! My friends at Nikon tell me it's the same Af module & processor so should perform as well I assume. Will be checking it out though certainly! Rich.
