Great harrier images Reilly and welcome to the "club". The D500 really is a functional step up from every dx before. Nailing focus with speed and accuracy and holding it for serial shots. It's also ...

Incredible hawk shots  Kris..

Good set of shots. It's these sudden opportunities that give me most pleasure in bird photography. Well done.

Yes use raw.

Excellent image.. I've just got into RC planes and you have given me some ideas. Thanks.

It depends what you want to shoot. If like me you want maximum detail at at 100% then raw has an edge with good pp. Otherwise with correct exposure without blown highlights JPEG would be fine BUT ...

There is a stop less noise in a D810 image than in a D7200 for a full frame shot. But if you have to crop the D810 image to get the same field of view as the D200 that noise advantage disappears. ...

Superb series Kris. I agree the AF on this camera is as good as it gets for birds in flight in the DX world.

Beautiful capture. Not seen one for years. Well done.

Great images. Thanks for sharing.

Nice. Like the gull. Now with content aware fill you could give the gull some space to look into.

Beautiful shots. Love the first.

Excellent captures Bryan.

Very nice images Kevin. I do wonder if the better AF of the D500 is allowing better detail to be captured by the Tamron.

I agree with you Peter. It is about the same weight as the current 300f2.8 Vr2 and feels well balanced. Though Steve has a point in that the 200-500 is so very close in IQ and has zoom and is ...

Very nice images indeed,

You've had a good month. Good images. I am interested in the quality of the images with a TC at f8. Might have a go myself. I find the lens without a TC is perfectly adequate for birds in flight ...

Excellent first day Kevin and welcome to the D500 club. Like the head on ?Sanderling. Only problem with Nikon AF is that there is no AF mode button near the shutter area. If there was then changing ...

It depends on how seriously good you want the wildlife imagery to be. The 300 f4 PFE and 1+/- .4TC is more than enough for good IQ and reach on a D7200. Not a zoom though. The 18-300 is better than ...

What are you upgrading for? Better And more accurate AF, faster frame rate or better high iso images or banding issues? Or just because you want a new camera. The D500 is much better than the ...
