[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 526005, member: 12496"] There are other Nikon DSLR without an internal flash, or without a Commander, and what you have to do is to use a hot shoe SB flash that does offer Commander mode. Not all SB do this, but several do. Or the SU-800 offers hot shoe Commander. Commander has to be on the hot shoe (or on a hot shoe cable). I assume the D500 still offers FV Lock, but if not, that makes the SU-800 more essential. It will be more interesting after the manuals are available online. If you use "real" manual flash mode, you could use any manual flash on hot shoe to trigger them, but Commander mode needs a Commander. Apparently, what the D500 offers is radio trigger flash, which only the new SB-5000 flash can accommodate. But Commander will work, if you provide a Commander. [/QUOTE]
