I got home late so I didn't go pick it up till this morning, so I took it to work with me. I played with it for a few hours while waiting to get loaded at the Coke warehouse. I had no...

    I'm going to start out with an SD card.....

    than see how that goes. In the D500 review from the Steve Perry video, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ComPpr0bniM) he mentions that even with just an SD card you can get 40 RAW files before the card's limitation hits in. I don't ever remember needing that much, but I'll see and go from there.

    Thinking out loud about sensor size.

    As I'm cropping more and more of my shots at 16X9, is it crazy to think that a 16X9 sensor would actually make sense sometime in the future? Would it be even possible? I think landscape photographers especially would love this.

    400 mm f/2.8 or 500 mm f/4

    No, I don't have a death wish nor do I have 10 grand to spend. I just got an e-mail about Nikon's 10% off on refurbished stuff through the Labor Day weekend, and I'm just kind of thinking out loud. They are both 10,000 dollars. If someone was to spend that kind of money, which would they get...
