Thanks for the update. Based on your description originally, I thought it was the Primary Circuit Board (PCB) I mentioned earlier.

I agree, I can shoot fairly easily a bird like this down to 1/60 ss. I think the OP needs to understand that details greater the larger the subject is in the frame. Also if the detail is so small ...

Maybe his technique needs to improve but 1/800 is easily enough to handhold. I can hand hold my Nikkor 200-500 down to 1/60 for perched birds like this. It's a different story if this bird is ...

I agree that the D500 is the better camera overall to the D750 or the D810. The FX is "easier" in the sense of a 50mm is 50mm FOV on FX and the you dont have to play games to get similar bokeh in ...

There was a used D500 on Fred Miranda this morning for $975 with only 1000 shutter count. Can't get much more like new than that. Might look at that one. Damn it sold already. I was looking for the ...

Wildlife and BIF. BIF only and bursts a can get as many as 1800 shots. Wildlife and just wandering around I can get all day and 1200 shots in an active area without needing much bursts. I get the ...

Hmm, I don't know but I have 3 D500's and all 3 are the same and I use both the OEM Nikon batteries and the RavPower ones that come as a 2pk with a dual charger. This was when I setup all 3 bodies ...

That means nothing. If the aperture control module goes bad, you will need it replaced. The good thing if this is the case, Nikon will have to recalibrate the lens entirely and you will have a ...

Is the viewfinder really dark? I had this issue with my 200-500 and it was the aperture control module that went bad. Since it is an electric aperture, the blades may get stuck closed which will ...

Don't agree about the D500 battery. I've gotten as many as 1800 shots on a single battery over 9 hours in 15-20°F. I have yet to need to change a battery out in a single day. I do have airplane ...

First, you wouldn't want to use a DX lens on an FX body. With that said, for mainly BIF photography, the D500 would destroy the D3s. The AF system, buffer, easily removable noise, tracking ability ...

Then I'd say again, sounds like a mainboard failure and a trip to Nikon for repair

Curious to know if you're using 3rd party batteries? I've read some do some hanky stuff to the lenses and cameras. Literally the only non Nikon battery I'd ever use are the RavPower ones. The rest, ...

Sounds like something wonky with the mainboard. I thought of a reset as well but honestly, there is nothing in the settings that could be reset to fix something like this. I think this will be a ...

Where are the facts? I've asked for them. The only thing you gave was an online story with the tests being done on a Canon R5. The general tests mean nothing on the site as that will be with being ...

So you don't have the D500 and you're saying this on card manufacturer speed ratings and on a site using a camera with the latest PCIe 3.0 hardware (Canon R5) and saying all you need is the right ...

XQD cards use PCIe 2.0 hardware which only has a single lane for communication. CFexpress cards use PCIe 3.0 and that hardware utilizes 2 lanes. So yes, CFExpress is a faster media (up to 1700MB/s ...

No someone else tested that. I had the ProGrade 128gb gold 1700MB/s cards that have about 120 frame burst The issue is hardware related. The link you provided were cards used in a Canon R5. Any ...

Is there any info on this? in the other thread you posted, the link was for cards in a Canon R5 with PCIe 3,.0 hardware. I am talking about getting 200 frame buffer and clearing that buffer in the ...

If you plan to keep shooting the D500, right now there is no reason to be buying slower, lower performing cards (CFExpress) rather than a XQD card regardless if used or new. There is no reason to ...
