Nikon D500 shares problem with Nikon D750

Could this be more of a buffering problem with your SD card rather than a shutter malfunction?

Huh? What does his problem when shooting with the high fps rate of this sports & wildlife camera have to do with video? But beside that, even if you don't use it, modern DSLRs are capable of high quality professional video. I've used mine dozens of times to record concerts and shows and a variety of other musical events with external music mics. It's like having great additional functionality for almost no additional costs.

I must live under a rock, I've never shot 10 frames a second at 1/8000 second. I'll have to look for an upgraded rock I guess.

Really, you agree with getting a video camera. So a video camera will capture 24mg frames on every frame like the D500 does at 10 frames a second. I did not know that. Thanks for the tip.

I've experienced shutdown on my D750 shooting rapid burst with my 80-400 and a not very fast card. Don't recall seeing ERR pop up. Replaced card with 90 speed and no problems.

I've never overrun the buffer on my D500, even for sports action, but I do only use XQD cards. Thanks for the warning. I will check my D500. Best of luck.

Thanks for that but it is not a buffering problem. Nikon has agreed that the problem lies in the camera and has sent me a new one. Happens at higher shutter speeds and simply stops working and throws up an ERR message. Many thanks to Nikon for replacing it. Nikon repair in NY has told me they ordered a few D500's in to replace some D500's coming in with the same problem.

"Bleeding Edge" products sometimes have problems no one has seen before - it is the nature of the process. I'm glad that Nikon is on this.

thanks for all your replies No I don't shoot video or birds in flight so that it is not the problem--camera used to work fine--I just contacted Nikon and am waiting for an answer

If you did a bit of research, you would see that many cameras can do video as well or sometimes better than a video camera. If you have one of those cameras, there is no need to waste money on a video camera. Plus, as it was mentioned, the OP had nothing to do with video. With at in mind, are we recommending a different camera?

I seriously doubt that the likes of Toyota or Honda Subaru etc... has those issues. My newly released EM1 was just like a toyota for 3 years.

My card is rated at 160 mb/s. As I have stated and Nikon agrees, it is not the card, it is not the buffer, it is the camera. Many thanks for your post.
