[QUOTE="desmobob, post: 783481, member: 45742"] The autofocus on the D500 is everything I'd hoped it would be, and much more. Its AF performance is fantastic and the ways it can be implemented are ingenious. I programed three completely different AF profiles, all instantly accessible on the fly with no menu changing. I took a short hike today and had my AF 180mm f/2.8 on the camera. I spooked three mallards up off a small marsh and pulled up the D500 and let her rip... it had no problem locking onto and tracking the three birds. I surprised a wood duck at a small lake and had the same result... I was able to maintain proper focus as it flew off. The lens wasn't long enough for the job, but the images showed the D500's AF (on AF-C and Group settings) got the job done admirably. I have only used this camera briefly for two days and I'm already in love with it. [/QUOTE]
