D500

You follow me on flickr you knew ha ha.

Am staying away from TP much as I can as I enjoy my kit and photography more
 
Just picked up my shiny new D500 from HDEW along with the 200-500mm. Thats me set for the afternoon and evening now. Off to play !!!

Have fun! It's the combo I went for and a couple of months in I'm loving it, although must admit the weather has been anything but kind.
Hope you enjoy, looking forward to some sunshine!

calm down, it wasn't a personal dig, there really isnt a need to swear. Andrew a lot of people on here have tried to help you, me included but it just reaches a point of saying i give up. i hope you enjoy your d500 but be honest you know you will sell and buy something else as much as the rest of us. thats my final word, so the thread stays nearly on track. enjoy your cameras
 
Getting used to handling the body and controls compared to D300/D3, would probably add a grip later for comfort. Auto fine tune was easy to use, snapbridge....OK on my Sony tablet, OK on the wife's S5 but won't work on my S7 edge, gets to the passkey stage then won't pair.
having another quick pass through the thread and if you ignore the FX v DX crop/noise etc and teasing/bating rookies there's about 5 useful pages :p

Dont take it badly Andrew,its people like you that make the world an interesting place,people who know me well think im a bit nutty too.:sony:
 
Nice set. What AF settings did you use on the bears?
72 point dynamic. I didn't want to mess about to much changing settings, just wanted to get an overall feel so 300mm f/4 wide open,1/1000 and auto iso.
 
Great shots... shows how helpful the 10fps can be getting the best action. (For me the 3rd bear shot)
Cheers, I was hoping to catch some water action from the Polar Bears and this one delivered.
The 10fps feels great, the shutter action seems much more refined than the D300.

Nice, the mongoose is really sharp. I\m considering hiring this lens for the F1 this year, think that image may have just made my mind up ;) Unfortunately it's not long enough for my FF body at wildlife parks though.

I'm jealous of the polar bear shots, I've been there so many times and not once seen them diving in :( Did you not capture the big splash?

The Mongoose had the Sigma 1.4tc on, I'd like the Nikon version at a later date. I did get a splash but the bear was well under the water so left it out. It's only the second time I've seen them in the water, last time 3 were playing together, the 300 + tc was too long on the crop body and the 70-200 a little short on FX :(.
