JK- I should add...Nikon (and Canon) still own the day for sports photos. Fuji is trying but there isn't a chance in the world that any fuji performs as well as the D500 (I can't say first hand but I'm sure that applies to the D5). IMHO, the fuji focus on the XP2 is now at least as god and fast as the D800 but nowhere near the D500...and Nikon long lenses are still the best made period! tom

Yes no doubt that the D500 is way ahead of most other DSLRs now, the auto focus is very good as is the tracking for birds in flight. The high ISO is also streets ahead of the D810 very little noise even on A3+ prints at 2500 ISO. Weather protection is also good as I was caught in rain and camera got quite wet with no problem, but I did dry it ASAP.

OK, Nikon have released a firmware update for the D500 and D3400 to support Snapbridge. They have also released the iOS app in the Apple App Store or iTunes. You need to look for Snapbridge by Nikon in the i Phone apps for some rason it is not listed under the apps for iPad but does install on an iPad. http://snapbridge.nikon.com/ and click on the App Store icon. As yet I have not managed to get The Snapbridge link to work to either my iPhone 4S or my iPad 3rd generation unit. You can ONLY pair with one iOS device (such a rubbish implementation). You need to go to Bluetooth settings and remove the camera device if a pairing fails. Also you can only pair with one iOS device so using with another device requires you to delete the working device!!! All this seems very unhelpful and I have raised a question with Nikon about the pairing process. Notes: If you want to pair it with the iPad, you first have to un-pair with the iPhone in Snapbridge by clicking on arrow next to the camera icon and "end pairing" then go into the iPhone settings and in the Bluetooth for the camera, click on "i" and "forget this device". Then go into Snapbridge and pair with iPad.

If you look in the DPReview forums this Snapbridge implementation is getting very poor reviews and comments!!

I have been testing tonight. iPad. The iPad 1st, 2nd and 3rd Generation do not seem to be supported. My iPad 3rd gen can see the D500 but does not connect. iPadAir2 (4th generation) works with the D500. It sees, connects and transfers images. iPhone. iPhone 4s does not seem to be supported as my one can see the D500 but does not connect. I have seen that people with iPhone 6 can connect.

I have been able now to connect the D500 to my NX5 Mobile phone and it is possible to use the phone to see images as framed on the D500 and take a picture. So yes you now have a remote viewfinder and shutter release. I will do more tests to see how far signal will travel. Taking pictures with the D500 and sending them to the D500 has problem images are far to large and just do not get there. I see no point in doing that any way. If you sent small JPG to the phone it may work but what is the point of that you might just as well take the pix on the phone?

Apparently it works with a iPhone 5s. I will probably go for an iPhone 6 SE next. All I can say is that if you want to do this then get the latest hardware from Apple. Nikon seem to have messed up again with little backwards compatibility.

Seems like a lot of money and bother to accomplish very little.
