[QUOTE="GracieAllen, post: 588489, member: 41283"] I absolutely agree Bikerbrent..... The D300 and equivalent had it. The D800 had it. The D810 has it. The D7200 has it... As near as I can tell, pretty much any of the higher level pro-sumer or consumer models (things other than the D3, D4, D5) have a built-in to run Commander mode. If it's good enough for a D810, it seems to me that it should be on the D500. If Nikon wants to offer the OPTION of going to radio control, fine, but Commander mode has worked fine for me for the last 8 years and I'm a bit puzzled why they would try to force everyone to buy a bunch of additional stuff (su800, wr-r10, wr-a10, SB-5000) to have it again... As for the SB-5000 with a receiver to talk to the D500 - does the D500 HAVE a built-in radio transmitter? I looked but didn't see anything obviously listed as being a transmitter to control the flash, or do I STILL have to buy another piece to make that work? [/QUOTE]
