Mike there are some very cheap ferreteria (hardware) shops here in Spain. Can get you a good cheap hammer if you need one. Can you collect?

Which is why Nikon have shoehorned a makeshift hammer into the D5, for $7,000 but a swiss army knife was never a 100% success for everything, except the ability to do a bodge job in an emergency. That said, if you can work within the constraints then it can do a good job and they are used for proper movies in certain situations.

Glad to see you back Graham. Hope that your new joints last you until the D7 comes out at least!!! D5 is heavy but that D500 looks very tempting especially with a 200-500 AFS VR attached. It will either be that or a Fuji XPro2 and 100-400 with x1.4 combo. Equivalent to a Nikon FF with 200-850mm attached. The Fujis are much lighter and sharpness is just as good but AF is slower :-(

The D5 IS heavy, especially with a 300 f2.8 on it! My arms were aching after about a quarter of an hour trying to keep up with a flock of seagulls. Normally I would use a monopod though. Not a problem then, provided you can drive most of the way to the site. The D500 is lovely, really nice to use, it just falls into my grip, They had to prise my fingers off it when I had to leave!!! My D200 after it's sensor clean, posing with the D5 and D500.

The D500 looks good to me but the problem is that since I got the D3 I don't want to put it down and feel a D4s nipping at my heals.

My D3 is great Iain but I also have the D3S which has all the bells and whistles that were missed from the D3. I am hoping to release the D3 this year so will get the D500 or D750 instead. I am thinking that a D500 might be a good option.
