[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 522207, member: 15675"] I tend to disagree. For the hobbyist DX with D500 performance will probably be unbeatable for sports and wildlife at this time. For professional Nikon sports and wildlife photographers, they will go D5. The little advantage in ISO, FPS and probably tracking, the higher life, better sealing of the body, better colour depth and dynamic range are more important then getting closer to the subject through field of view. The professional will work a lot in twilight, avoiding hard eye shadows, needing that FX extra touch; they take the time and the preparation to get physically close to the subject, on top of that they generally have better tele lenses. . So yes there will be a lot of D500 bodies sold and correctly so. For many daytime/less critical shooters a D7X00/D5X00 will be more then sufficient already. For some the D5 will be the status symbol (I can only do with the best) or the edge they (think they) need in their business. Many professionals will still be shooting a D4 FX and getting better pictures then D500 DX owners. [/QUOTE]
