[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 794069, member: 10742"] Yes, it's compatible... Nikon cameras used to support CLS. That was Nikon's flash systems that used the flash's light to communicate between flashes... Now the D500 supports a new protocol by using a "radio" to communicate with Nikon's newer flashes. That control unit was/is referred to as Commander mode. The SB910 has it's own Commander mode built in... NOW instead of using the camera's Commander mode to control the SB910 ON a D500, you just use the Commander Mode on the SB910 to control other CLS compatible flashes... I wouldn't look for an SB910 if that were my primary camera... unless the price was sub-$100 because there are many NEW flash systems in that <$100 price point that support a radio control protocol... If the price of the SB910 is under $100, that's still an excellent flash... YongNuo makes excellent radio triggers that work with that camera and flash for less than $100... That would give you the ability to use the SB910 ON or OFF camera with the D500 [/QUOTE]
