[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 739298, member: 9240"] Cameras are not magic, they are tools that you need to learn in order to get the most out of them. The fact that you've had 3 different DX bodied Nikons before tells me that you know something about taking pictures, but what I/we don't know is what you're trying to photograph, with what lens(es), under what conditions, etc. I will tell you this, about 85% of what I shoot are things with feathers, and for that Aperture priority is not your friend. What we also don't know is what you understand about how Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO work together to make an exposure, or whether you know about the inverse relationship between shutter speed and focal length. You seem to have been using your consumer-grade bodies in modes designed to compensate for user knowledge and that's perfectly acceptable. But the D500, while not labeled as such, is really the last pro DX DSLR body I suspect Nikon will make. All that said, as a man with two D500's and a combined 115K clicks of the shutter, it's not the camera that's keeping you shots from being sharp, it's operator error. We just need to get to the bottom of that, because sometimes you need to shoot high ISO to get the shutter speed you need. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]342149._xfImport[/ATTACH] Post some pics (make sure they're no bigger than 1000px on the long side so we can see EXIF, or share that separately) so we see what you're seeing.
