In reality using FX glass on DX isn't 'bad' except at the wide end when you either need a Sigma 10-20 or some other means of going wide. Yearn for the day my 20-2.8 becomes 20 rather than having the field of view of a 30. If you retain an FX body then presumably when you leave home you know whether you are going to need wide or long? You could think of the D500 as being a sophisticated X1.5 tele-converter? But a whole lot more! The other advantage of using FX glass on a DX camera is you are using the sweet part of the image circle. No vignetting, little edge curvature or sharpness fall of.

I agree about hands on and will go to my local camera shop with 500mm lens and a fact SD card.

If anyone can get a D500 hands on then if they can check if there is a facility similar to the D3, D4, D800 and D810 that enables you to lock the command and/or sub-command dials, then I would be most grateful. Alternatively if anyone finds a download of the D500 user manual please can you alert me.

Sigma has an 8-16 mm DX and Tameron a 16-300 DX. I have both and they make a great travel kit with my D5300.

I didn't notice JK, how does the D3 lock the command dials? There are plenty high def images of the D500, can you see at locking button or whatever similar to the D3? I do seem to remember the command dials seemed very positive, much more so then the D200/D300 when it latched into each click. I have had my D200's since new but they never felt as positive as the D500 I handled.

The dials turn but dont change the value if you have the lock set. On the D3/D3S you push the L button top plate left side and turn the command dial and it locks shutter speed same with sub-command dial but it locks the aperture. In D800/D810 you set it via a menu item or reconfigure a fn button to act as an L button. This feature is very useful when shooting in Manual exposure mode as well as you get no changes if your hand slips onto the dials when changing cameras. I cant see the menu offerings for the D500 hence the need for the manual.

Don't think it has that feature...the D750 hasn't got it. I confess I missed that feature on Thursday. I was shooting a kitchen for a client (one of the last 3 before I retire) and I noticed halfway through my fingers had shifter the aperture.  Fortunately redid the shooting positions and carried on. However I did shift it inadvertently once more later on.....but I was watching for it this time.
