D500 @ ISO6400 ... Impressed or not?

Very! Wonder how close it was and how much of a crop.
Not particularly, but there are no specifics other than D500/ISO6400.D500 @ ISO6400 ... Impressed or not?
If that is SOOC, from raw, and heavy crop (or TC's), then I would say it's impressive for APS/high resolution...I had hoped for better TBH, though obviously I know nothing about the specifics of taking/processing.
Not particularly
it's impressive
It's one photo so cannot be a decider for the camera, however if that's the best that I could get, I wouldn't see a reason to be excited about getting one
Are you joking? That's at 6400 ISO...my D7200 looks that noisy at about 800!
It looks about like my D4 at 6400 (it *really* depends on the light levels though).Are you joking? That's at 6400 ISO...my D7200 looks that noisy at about 800!
not impressed with that photo, whats happening to the feathers?.
My vote for the understatement of the year!Not everyone may need the 10fps for 200 images.
Come on! It's Nikon blowing it's own trumpet. Wait and see what Ken Rockwell has to say when he has tested it.They look a lot more encouraging to me ... Chameleon at ISO 51200

If that's 51200, then either this camera is AMAZING at high ISO or they've done some seeeerious NR on that background
It is 51200 but the shadows have been reduced a lot to hide the noise and create the pure black background and the res is low so it hides it on the chameleon.
Pretty sure you could with any modern Nikon FFIt's 1280 x 853, not hi-res for sure but look beyond the black background to the Chameleon itself and I think that's pretty impressive for ISO 51200, I would be interested to see you replicate it with another camera

Lol, not sure I'd have the talent or the lighting they hadOver to you...

My post was tongue in cheek hence the emoji, but joking aside whilst it's impressive we have no idea of PP and also I'd eat my hat if the D500 being a crop sensor has better noise handling at high ISO than modern FF's. I'm sure if the same person took the same shot with the same lighting with a D750, DF, D5 etc the shot would be cleaner.

Lets no get defensive because its Nikon,that image is carp,it may be better than i can get with my D7200 and Tamron 150-600 but i would not spend the money for that result,if he had a expensive Nikon lens on then the result is even more upsetting,ime going to risk ridicule and put an example of the D7200 and Tamron 150-600 at ISO 6400,when you consider my outfit cost less than the camera body and my lack of ability in PP plus no NR on the main subject,i will wait until the prices drop a long way.

Good point, I forget that it's extended ISO to get that with my D750 I had to try it for myself of course as I've never taken my camera above native ISO, so here's hi 2 ISO which is 51200. Unfortunately I don't have a reptile of any kind, but here's a quick grab shot of a wooden dragon this morning before work so don't expect a work of art Blacks reduced slightly, sharpening increased to 65 and 50 NR added in LRDiscounting the D5 which I am sure will be better, the others have a 'normal' ISO range that limits them to ISO 12800 (can be extended) so I think it would be highly unlikely that they could match the D500. which has ISO 51200 within its 'normal' range
I agree with you on that Kingfisher image Mike, it doesn't represent the D500 well and I think says more about that specific photo/photographer than the D500 (Nikon didn't use it in their publicity bumf, though they did two of the others) ... however if you look at the Chameleon (ISO 51200) in the other link, I believe that is pretty impressive and if that reflect the low-light ability of the D500 it has to be a winner

Hmmm, looks a bit odd here I'll add a link to the file in dropbox if you're interested.

What you reckon on the leopard (cat) using the 500mm f4 lens and 2.0 TC @ iso 320, he seems to have missed focus on the eyes/head a little as it seems better on the front leg looking on my monitor. Possibly not helped by the 1/80 shutter speed for that set-up.
