I must admit I was fooled at firstI gotta say when I first saw it I just laugh as though someone set me up ha ha

It be getting thrown and kicked around now like the D750 did lolFYI Camera arrived at Nikon today and was booked in................ exciting isn't it LOL
I'm upto about page 30 on this thread and I think this is an ideal upgrade for my 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]

Exactly, technically the IQ's not great but who cares, it's a great photo.Love this little fella,im not bothered bout the iso,its the look i love

But your thinking about Leica arnt you ?....![]()
£12k of gear at 1200mm shooting at a zoo. Wow!
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.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.

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

Am at Meadowhall so trying find out if I buy Nikon 700 flash from them can d500 trigger it off camera?
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.Am at Meadowhall so trying find out if I buy Nikon 700 flash from them can d500 trigger it off camera?
