A small private reserve on the River Itchen just North of Southampton. Malcolm hopes to be using his new Nikon 80-400mm AF-S lens on his D500 if it arrives in time. We will keep you informed and hope to post some good pix here!

Graham, have you noticed that the D500 'grain' rendering is different to that of the D800/810?

Or is it me?.
The D800/810 has 'grain' that is more random (irregular shaped) while the D500 has a more regular ball shaped grain!
It is more noticeable in mid-tone/highlight detail areas.

Here is a blow up of small section, I would say the D500 "grain" in not regular? The main picture is also cropped from the D500 to about 60% of the full DX frame.

I have just checked the data and this picture was: 1000ISO 1/1250 sec at F18 the exposure was about 1/2 a stop under so was corrected in the RAW file.

Yes it is definitely different to the earlier Nikon cameras.
Not sure if I like it or not. It is just different I guess I will get used to it.
