Using the same card but the Lexar SDHC 32GB card is now not in the slot and I think that was the sole trouble maker. All fault messages came up with SD on the message I just wish I had noted it at the time but when I spoke to Nikon NPS tech help line they said return camera to us at once sound serious.

All is well now and I am very pleased with the camera.

Iain, check your PMs.

Let me know when you have the files.

Got them Jonathan after noise reduction with neat image there seems to be very little between the D7200 and the D500.

That's interesting Iain! Does that mean you feel the D500 IQ isn't an improvement over the D7200...or just the noise reduction?

I see little to no difference in the image from the D500 and D7200 after I have run both through neat image.

This may be of interest as it was blown up from 1/3 of the whole image and also shot at 2500 ISO into early morning light. 400mm 1/400 sec f8 with 80-400 AF-S lens with VR on. (Also taken with the Lexar XQD 32 GB Card.)

Now more important news Lexar just phoned me and they have been in contact with Nikon and the XQD after more testing is 100% OK. My problem as we now know was thye Lexar SDHC 32GB 300MBS 2000X Card that was in the 2nd slot. This card has a fault and they will replace mine ASAP..

Practical Photography have just given the D500 avery good 5 star write up in this months magazine. Best ever APS-C-DSLR in all departments. Amazed by very high ISO quality and speed of focus and motor drive. Slight comment about no built in flash (this I never use anyway!) and price a bit high, (you pay for what you get and it is 90% up to a D5 and 1/3 the money).
Young Starlings in mob of 20-30 are empting our bird food nearly every day. Fun taking pixs of them fighting and hones my skills with the new camera. 1/2500 sec stops wing movement but all pixs taken at 1000 ISO and very clean noisless images. I am finding that even with 400 or 500mm lenses focus hardly ever lets you down.

Very happy with my D500 that I took to Lithuania for its first test. I used it with the 24-120 f4 AFS G. Seems to work very well on the camera but it is big compared with having a prime on it.
