[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 531971, member: 15675"] I'm trying to find more info, but mirror blackout time is a more detail view where most photographers do not get to (and do not need to get to). From the [URL="http://www.nikonusa.com/en/about-nikon/press-room/press-release/iihiz19a/Conquer-the-Dark%3A-The-New-Nikon-D5-DSLR-Shatters-Expectations-for-Thrilling-New-Levels-of-Low-Light-Performance,-Image-Quality-and-Speed.html"]D5 info[/URL]: Now this was also a main point in the D4s release and it is why I abandoned the idea of a D750. My main goal is confident tracking of fast, erratically moving subjects in twilight (less then high fps and pray). 1) I do believe that together with battery life and weather sealing this is what triples the price of a D5 compared to a D500 (margin plays as well obviously), so I see that the D500 (as does the D750) will underperform in mirror blackout. 2) Even if the D5 release is incredible hopeful (nearly eliminates), I do believe that the D6 will have a similar statement: "that were previously difficult to achieve" 3) There is also the tracking algorithm, which from the reviews I saw might be better in a Canon 1DX (I think the MkII version might continue that). Conclusion: confident tracking of fast, erratically moving subjects in twilight is still a challenge and the top cameras will be best at it (every brand with their strenght and weaknesses). However it is also a difficult subject to find good reliable data on and even to design neutral tests for. p.s.: After my latest experience with my A7s I believe I will wait till I find the right D5 second hand for me and only after that look at some lenses for Sony and a D500.
