Iain, re: release date for the D500 I have seen similar messages. On the plus side, one or more samples have arrived in Europe and are used to demonstrate at some delaer's locations. My first impressions: -more sturdy than the D300 -no internal flash -but to keep it vulnerable: a swing-screen (I admit it feels more sturdy than the ones on the D5nnn etc) Regards, Gilbert

Went to a Nikon demo of the D5 & D500. Not drooling over ether one, but I was in a minority there. Lots of interest and pre-orders for both.

My D800 is very detailed and really only of use for landscape or making billboard posters! The video part is wasted on me. I think that if I get any new Nikons then it will be a D750 and/or the D500. D5 is a lot of money for what it is. I dont need to use such heavyweight kit any more.

I went to the Nikon NPS Roadshow at Manchester on Tuesday. Very impressed with the D500 and of course the D5. they had an array of lenses also the D7200 and the D610. Most lenses from 10.5 to 800 also the 200 f2, TC's and the new flashguns. The D500 felt much better when I had removed the motor drive - addon, yet the D5 felt completely natural. Although I have to admit my arms were hanging off hand holding the D5 with a 300 f2.8 trying to follow BIF, I am used to using a monopod for such tasks. Added bonus, Nikon technicians cleaned my D200 and D300s inside and out, also my 50-f1.4, they made a beautiful job of them I watched them for a while they were extremely thorough, especially inside, blowing out dust and cleaning every nook and cranny. In some cases they removed front and rear elements of lenses to clean them properly.  I took a family group pic of my D200 flanked by the D5 and D500.

The 21mp sensor is great for most stills, unless you are using a 35mm lens for birding and have to crop a lot. The problem comes with the 4k video, which must be interpolated about 2.3x to get enough pixils for the format.

To my mind if you are serious about 4K video you need a 4k video camera.

Problem is that a good hammer costs over $10,000.
