I have the D500 and totally love it. I also use the XQD cards and love the storage capability. In Norway I shot hugh files and still had room. I download with a card reader. Fast and simple with no cords to worry about

So, Gianfranco47, what do you think would be the practical differences at an afternoon football game?

Anyone here use a QXD card?
What's the advantage?
Add= the sun of two or more numbers.
Ad= abbreviated version of advertisement.

The difference for me when using the D5, D4s & the D500 for High School football so far.
The 500 is really nice to have for that extra reach, but your gonna get stuck when the play is between 10 to 20 yards away.
I got some really nice touchdown celebration shots and an end zone fumble recovery with the D5 and D4s bc of FF.
I noticed strong stadium color shifting with the D4s & the D500 (somewhat), but not the D5.
The higher ISO is awesome on the D5 over all cameras.
I appear to have a much better keeper ratio, mainly bc I think its the mirror driving assist (while in high speed mode) in helping to keep the subject
in focus while tracking. It just does not miss, unless I do something wrong.
I had to change batteries on the D500, while my D5 was only down 1 bar on the indicator after the game.
The one thing that concerns me is the spring loaded carriage for the XQD card on the D500, it already feels as if it has some resistance while pushing in the card.
The D5 has eject buttons, which kicks the cards out, this to me will last much longer in the long run.
If you add a battery pack with an 18A battery and a charger for the D500, then the price only becomes about half the price of the D5.
The shutter count life on the D500 is at 200k vs 400k on the D5, you will then have to add an additional $450 to $550 for that replacement cost.
I love both cameras, but I really like having two XQD card slots for the D5 and the extra much higher ISO and keeper ratio over the D500 & D4s.

D500 is a good body without any doubt but you cannot put the FX lens on it , if you work with large printing format you can have some problems , NIKON is not a stupid company if we have no differencies why is continuing to produce the D5 , NIKON , of course it trying to enlarge the customers number selling bodies at right price to non professional people

The Nikon D500 WILL accept FX lenses.

I use XQD cards. If I didn't I'd be wasting one slot in the camera.
