Nikon have introduced Snapbridge technology into the D500 and also some of their other cameras (Nikon SnapBridge is compatible with all of the latest cameras: W100, A300, B500, B700, A900, DL and D500.). So you ask what is Snapbridge? Well here is the lowdown...... http://snapbridge.nikon.com For those of you who use tethering of your camera and LiveView and remote control via a wired connection please move into the 21st century with Nikon's latest good idea for wireless control of your DSLR via an app on your smartphone. OK so you dont have a Smartphone! Shame on you! You dont p,ay games  well neither do I but there are a host of great apps that aid life that you can have on your smartphone (especially the iPhone).Currently (3rd August 2016) there is a Snapbridge app for Android phones. I have an iPhone and feel disenfranchised by Nikon's inability to produce and release an app for iOS (Apple iPhones) phones and iPad. However they have promised to rectify this by the end of this month (August 2016). Yippee. So now you know about Snapbridge and that you can run it on your tablet or phone if you have Android device and soon if you have an iOS device. This technology will I think change the way we interact with our cameras and also allow our cameras to upload our pictures to a remote place e.g. Facebook and other social media sites if you configure it to do this. I would be interested inyour feedback in this thread please on this new technology and its use.

Thank for the info. When I got the D500 I spent as long time on Nikon's website before I saw that with all the info there but was no way I could at that time get it set-up for my camera!

I have now managed to get SnapBridge on my NX5 smart phone and the D500 paired with it no problems but still need to get the hang of making them work. Need a 16 yr old to help me please!!!

Tom, are you still shooting Nikon and Fuji side by side? I feel reluctant to give up my Nikons but I am finding that the Fujis have increased appeal due to their lower weight but also I like to use the EVF to pre-visualise my image exposure. Much easier than using the histogram.

Apparently Nikon will release the Nikon Snapbridge app for iOS at the end of August. Not long to wait!

jk wrote:Tom, are you still shooting Nikon and Fuji side by side? JK- I'm 90% fuji...most of that with x100t and xp2. I did buy a D500 and it's pretty impressive. I expect to use it for some birding and some animal portrait shots (though the fuji's seem just fine for that, too). I still use the D800 for the few instances where a really big file is a must (mostly architectural shots with tripod, pc lens and the whole magilla) I'm probably selling my xt1 (definitely not interested in an xt2) and I have an xe1 converted to IR ) Obviously it was easy to buy too much fuji gear  it seemed so cheap compared to early nikon purchases I'm likely to trim down my lens list and sell of the older bodies (though they don't fetch much).Can't see offing anything nikon though... There seems to be a place for both, if you have both. If you didn't I'd be much more leaning to fuji. tom
