Robert thanks for the link re card problems. Strange that Nikon UK said my problem is first they have heard?

My camera now with them now. Good luck with yours JK. My friend Malcolm is very pleased with his and I think he is going to join our Forum. Like me he is a keen Nikon DSLR user and a retired professional photographer.

No prob Graham, I am sure the problem will be resolved, it just takes the icing off the cake when you have issues like this.

It seems the issue may be related to the cards rather than the camera, but it may be a bit of both?

Leading edge technology is never easy... Good luck with it.

Have to agree with you. So disappointing that manufacturers get caught out so many times with what seems like inadequate research into compatibility issues. We see it in cameras, software, domestic appliances, cars...you name it. A facet of modern lfe we could do without.

It doesn't put me off getting a D500...just makes me less of a pioneer.

Thats my thoughts. Going down to Norfolk in August so will have a look in WEX and may buy then as any teething troubles might be fixed by then.

Do you think if they have two in stock by then, they would give us a discount for 'bulk' buying? :lol: I already know the answer...this is WEX we are talking about.

If you are at a loose end one day Iain, give us a call... we could meet up again.

Yes as the cameras become more electronically complex and with options to put multiple different makes of card/attachment onto to it it seems we have more problems.
I am sure Nikon will resolve it very quickly.

E-Mail from Nikon that my camera has been repaired today 20th but no info of what is wrong. With luck then it should be back early next week.

At least they don't seem to be passing the buck, by blaming the cards.

Hope that's the end of the matter.

We will be there from the 9-23 Aug, going to the same site as last time.
A meet up would be good, I'll speak to you nearer the time.

Tracked repair this morning and it is taking longer than they first thought.
