D500

About right for the Mk1, the 80-200 was under £300 ... if you don't need VR and a foot it's a steal :)

Just been having a look see if any about around your price ;)

is the VRII worth the extra?

As gramps says, not really for DX users. I believe the V1 has less focus breathing too. AF's apparently not quite as fast, but more than adequate.

The VR1 works fine on FX, just vignettes and IIRC is a bit soft at the edges, but it's not generally the type of lens you need edge to edge sharpness (I know there's exceptions ;))

You could always go all out and get the new FL one.

Hello Everyone.

First of all I know there is already a D500 thread on here, the whole point of this one is to show everyone that the D500 is not just for Wildlife. But Wildlife images are welcome in here along with many others images people capture with their D500.

My Finding of this D500 is amazing, I love everything about this camera and with the correct lens it can take any images as you wishes. The Noise and DR handling is fantastic IMO and the handling of the camera. I love the fact that it got the Pro camera layout. Let hope we get this thread alive with many images of different subject..

I am going to post a few and when I get the correct lens I will post some Zoo images and the like.

Glad to see you finally found the camera you were looking for. Enjoy it and don't take it the wrong way, but no more questions now in the Fuji thread stick with this one [emoji6]

Amazing how clean they can get

Yep, does look very clean. However, we don't know the light conditions, and Nik dfine is very good at cleaning up images. I'm not saying it's not good though, it is, it looks pretty flawless.
 
Out of interest every sample RAW I've seen from the D500 are over 40mb, which seems large for 20mp. Do they not apply Nikon's lossless compressed to RAWs on the D500?

Why is there a second d500 thread now? Seems totally needless IMO. I'm shortlisting this camera as a possible purchase next year and having two threads on the go now seems silly.:grumpy:

As the other thread was all about birding.. the whole point of this one is to show everyone what the camera can do as a allrounder.. No one is saying you have to follow this thread the choice is your ...
 
How was it all about birding? :confused: There have been a range of useful topics discussed and images covering the full gamut of photography. As a potential purchaser, I would be very disappointed if the camera couldn't be "all purpose".

I take your point though ... :exit:

People should know that most cameras are great at everything these days ;) Why not just start adding different pics to the existing thread? :p
