As stated in other threads here and elsewhere, I've experienced some issues with my D500 that have not been documented elsewhere leading me (and others) to believe that mine was a defective body. Restated plainly, I never experienced the lock up (UHS-II SD related) or extended timeout (Sigma OS...

How does a person who has never picked up an instrument in their life justify a $3000 PRS to take their first guitar lesson? How does an old fart with bad reaction times justify a six-figure automobile that they'll never drive over 70mph, expect maybe on an interstate, to drive themselves to...

I have another thread out there regarding an issue I'm having with my D500 when using the Sigma 150-600mm Sport lens where the image review screen will not turn off and all active camera functions stay on. It's not a problem I can reproduce at will, but it will happen at some point every time I...

Even if you don't shoot product photography, the stuff in this article can be extremely useful when you need to light something while avoiding all the reflections and hot spots that come with front lighting. Basic Rim Lighting with a Do-It-Yourself Striplight

I wasn't whether to post this under the Telephoto forum for the lens+TC information or under D500 forum because that's what I'm using with it, but since the thread will eventually have images I thought I'd post it here. Last week I found an "as new" Sigma 1.4x TC for less than half retail and...

A calibrated monitor is your best friend. $99 deal for a day on the Spyder5Pro. Deal Zone, Deal of the Day at B&H I've got a Nero Trigger but the motion detection requires setting up a laser signal that must be broken and it's pretty finicky. For $59 I'm considering the Vello solution, if...

Just read this... Nikon D500 Firmware Version 1.01 and EN-EL15 battery Li-ion01 Exchange Available | Camera News at Cameraegg I've got 5 batteries that need swapping. I'll let you know how I make out. UPDATE: Thom Hogan posted this link to NikonUSA's page for battery swaps.

OK, I'll play.

I've shot with a lot of long telephoto lenses. With every other one I would have had to clone out the branch in the OOF area, and the bokeh would have been a mish-mosh of light and dark areas from the trees that are about 4-5 feet behind the bird. The Sport is just better. There's a price to...

I've got a line on a Photix grip in minty condition. Originally $99, but this one's much cheaper. Works perfectly with the D7100, even with 3rd party batteries. PM me.

Please don't take it personally, Vincent (I'm not shooting the messenger), but I could care less what Kai thinks. Opinions are like @$$holes, and Kai is one. ;) OK, that said. I'm not ready for a full blown review, which I promise to do, but I'll give you my honest first impressions. First...

I've noticed on three occasions over the last two days that the image review screen on the D500 stayed on after shooting a burst of shots through the Sigma 150-600mm Sport. I remember there being an issue like this with the D5300 and some Sigma lenses, so I suspect it's a firmware thing that...

Nikon D7000 - KolariVision 720nm IR conversion w/ OEM Grip D7000 body. 9/10 condition. 32.3K clicks on the shutter. Converted to 720nm Infrared by KolariVision. It was a toss up between selling this one or my D800 converted the same way. This one actually meters far more consistently in IR than...

I knew a lot about noise already, but this pair of articles really does a nice job of getting to the heart of what noise is, where it comes from, and what affects it and how. Really well put together. What's that noise? Part one: Shedding some light on the sources of noise: Digital...

Saw this post yesterday. B&H shipping date for D500: Nikon Pro DX SLR (D500, D300, D200, D100) Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review Seems that, as usual, B&H will be closed for Passover observance from April 22 thru April 30, meaning that an April 21 release date for the D500 turns into a May...

Got these yesterday. Darn things are too fast for me to follow and keep the focus locked. The top shot would have been epic.

Still playing around with the lens and getting used to the handholding. Full review will be forthcoming in the second half of the month after I get a chance to do a full set of focus tuning. In the meantime I thought I'd share a couple Lightroom screen grabs of shots at 600mm, basic EXIF...

I'm doing some mental gymnastics right now. I want the D500 for wildlife. I need something that will outperform my D7100 both in terms of high ISO (I can't shoot above ISO 3200 and would love a little less noise given that I prefer shooting at 1/1600sec & f8-f9 on the Sigma - though I can go...
