Both shots very sharp and nice. The bird shot goes a long way in a zoom up and still looks good.  EXIF says you are using a D3. Very tempting to just get this as I know it will perform on my D3S and D3 and D810.

So far I have to say that I'm impressed. Hopefully some bird pic tomorrow.

Two from today, nothing exciting both taken at 500mm @ F5.6 on the D3 and heavy crop. Attachment: DSC_3974-Edit.jpg (Downloaded 51 times)

Welcome to the 200-500 club. I don't think you can go wrong with the cost. There are others on my web site. rgspeer.com Enjoy Ralph

I think that with the information I am currently finding on the new Fuji XPro2 is that it will not AF any quicker than the XT1. This is forcing me to think more seriously about buying the D500 and Nikon 200-500 rather than the Fuji XPro2 and Fuji XF100-400mm. I do not want to compromise my flamenco photography which I will continue with the Nikon kit. My portraits and landscape images can be done on either Fuji or Nikon kit.

I've always preferred the DX sensor cameras for long tels. Much better quality than an FX and a 1.4x TC in my opinion.

Wonder if the D750 would be better?

I need the Nikon AF speed so a D500 or D750 is good otherwise a Fuji XPro2 would be my choice as it is much lighter. I want a replacement lens for my Sigma 80-400 and Nikon 400mm f2.8 AFS so the Nikon 200-500 fits the bill. This is used for bird and landscape photography.

JK, I think, nay, I am sure you will find the D500 is a big advance on anything which has gone before it. Everything about the D500 seems 'right', the huge delay since the D300/s has been well spent by Nikon, even down to the smallest detail it is very well designed. The D500 is simply a small D5 in almost all respects except the obvious. I think one of the huge advantages of the D500 over the D5 is the AF sensor array, which I understand is identical to the D5, particularly in respect to it's sensor coverage. It covers most of the D500 frame whereas on the D5 it's still covers the exact same size, therefore all the sensors are concentrated in the centre of the frame on the D5, with no edge coverage. The active AF tracking is exceptional. Even with my hamfisted attempts, the AF picked up on BIF even when there was a busy, cluttered background, hand held with a 300mm f2.8. It was quite amazing how the active AF point darted around the viewfinder, locked onto the bird while I tried to keep it in the centre of the viewfinder. You really need to try one. Don't NPS have a roadshow in Spain? There have been about 6 here in the UK.
