Hello, fellow Nikon users.
I held an N90s for a number of years, and moved to the D90 to go digital. This was about 10 years ago, keeping my FX lenses from the N90s. The D90 has been fine, and I consider keeping it as a back-up body.
I am currently eyeing the D500 (and will have one for rent in a couple of days for a shoot next weekend, with the newest 18-300mm lens to demo as well). I shoot a number of auto races, and the speed of the D500 is my curiosity point. I would not be able to go for an XQD card anytime soon, and if I get the D500, probably a little wait until UHS-II; I have some fast (for their design) UHS-I cards already,and would test with those.
The D90, while a fine camera limits me in rapid fire with RAW enabled to where the buffer must write to the card when only a minimal number of shots have been fired. Therefore, I've been shooting it strictly JPG, and can get reasonable rapid fire...but I am very curious how the D500 will perform in the same state. I could use 2 SD cards (both UHS-I for initial tests), one for RAW, the other JPG, if that will be beneficial.
Been shooting since I was a kid, starting with a Minolta SRT-101, then the trusty tank of Canon F1 (which I still have; not using now, but do not want to let it go...many trips with it! It remains in perfect shape, albeit with some brassing)
Anyhow, hello....I will post more after the D500 demo; and can post pix as requested.
Thanks, all.
