D500

Painterly then

Don't have to pixel peep to see that

In all honesty the only time I zoom into an image is for precise sharpening, precise brushing or that I see an issue with an image. OK this is a crop but would anyone honestly be happy with rendering like this

It be getting thrown and kicked around now like the D750 did lol

 

[munchycarrot]

I'm upto about page 30 on this thread and I think this is an ideal upgrade for my D300.

I had a D300 which I loved and didn't want to get rid. Eventually I did and went down the D7100 route. Just something didn't click with me and I didn't feel the same love for it as the D300.

Just got the D500 a week before Christmas, only been out a few times with it with work etc but I can safely say that love is well & truly back. This is my new baby [emoji51]

That's probably the best place to stop reading.

You kill me.

Still think the D300 is great in good light so I'll be keeping it, I do like the option of a second body to save changing lenses. This will give me the option of using D300/D500 or D500/D3. Still got ano S5pro too as back up back up.

Found a few credit card deals with 0% on purchases so I could be pulling the trigger much sooner.

@rookies imagine if you listened to your own advice, you'd still have your D750

If I bough a Nikon 700 flash does the d500 have a built in trigger so use flash off camera?

No, you'd have to buy a wireless trigger

 

[rookies]

Oh just though it had one like some others do dare I say d750 lol

 

[Swanseajack]

No, you'd have to buy a wireless trigger

I haven't a scooby about flash, what would be the best way and cheapish for having a on camera flash for the D500? or do you have to buy the specific Nikon one?

Try looking at Neewer, something like this, I bought 2(not quiet sure on models I bought) that work fine on a D300/D3.

 

[rookies]

Jessops says I can work Nikon flash off camera as d500 got built in commander?? Is it true ??

 

[T_J_G]

50p we see movement before next Tues

Go on then, I'll take that!

@rookies grab a Godox TT685n and an X1 trigger, perfect for on camera and off camera flash!

Hi Simon,

i started with a Yongnuo flash (565ex, next model down from this one I'm about to link) and it still works fine on the D500. I also bought a Nikon SB700 but, tbh, I think the Yongnuo works better overall IMO

Don't think so as Nikon's CLS system works using the pop up flash to fire the off camera flashes. I don't know why the 'pro' bodies don't have commander mode as it's very useful imo. I know they'll argue that pros will use dedicated triggers, but still it's a nice feature to have.
