Very good news this morning out early and after testing confirm that with no Lexar SD card in 2nd slot the Lexar XQD 32 GB 2933 card working perfectly with no error messages!!!

Just in time to catch the 3 your Nuthatches fledging. This is final feed before they all left the nest. Light was poor so pushing the ISO again.

Yes using the 80-400mm lens because I had to creep in close behind another apple tree and did not want to use the 500mm and tripod in case setting up would upset the birds. Also I had to sit for several hours hand holding.

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

So...are you using a DIFFERENT Lexar card Graham, or has the original one started working are the cameras visit to Nikon....despite them saying there was nothing wrong with the body? Or is it the conflict between the two slots?

Excellent images by the way. :thumbs:

The new EXPEED 5 chipset is an improvement as will the new sensor.
However the combo does provide a big improvement over the D300S which is the real comparator. The D7200 is a step ahead of the D300S but the AF of the D500 is definitely better and next generation.

The real questions are..........
Is the D500 better than a D7200, Yes only a little and it is more about the performance stakes than IQ.
Is the D500 better than the D300s? Yes definitely for IQ, AF performance and general handlng.

Sounds like a good upgrade then. Looking forward to getting my hands on a D500 later this year.

WEX should have them on the shelf by end of June.
Apparently most of the pre-orders will be satisfied by mid-June.

Interesting.

I am awaiting a final settlement on our personal injury claim from the crash in Italy...2 years ago!!

That would give me a welcome cash injection to refresh the depleted funds in the wake of the bathroom project.
