Already checked it out and thank you!

I also appreciated the great customer service help I received last week when I lost some stuff and had to set up a new computer with a different system. Service is important!


Thanks - and happy to help :)

With Nikons they are. I understand not with Canon and don’t know about others.


The spot meter follows the AF point, but it's not the same size. I think that's what he meant.

Thanks. I was thinking the way you said, that the focus point and the spot meter were the same.


Happens all the time. The problem is, the camera manuals aren't really all that clear, often just giving you a percentage or measurement that means very little in the real world. After all, it's tough to judge 4mm or 1.5% of an area.

ProCam in Livonia, MI is where I got mine with one phone call and a two day wait. I had waited several months fruitlessly for one of the big New York houses to come through.


Yup, they're really good. It seems like I always get my stuff way faster with the smaller shops. I never try to get anything that's in demand from the big places.

The 500PF is the easy winner at the long end. It's sharper all around, AF is faster, it's weather sealed, it's lighter, it's smaller (great for getting into tight places), and it includes memory set / function buttons.I haven't used my 200-500 since getting it.

Also, don't dismiss superior edge sharpness too quickly - it comes in handy for tight verticals. :)

I have a review out there for the 500PF and I do compare it to the 200-500. Admin doesn't like me posting links, so you'll have to google Steve Perry 500 PF review.

Hi Steve, thanks for such an in-depth review. It's much appreciated. I am primarily a press photographer but do like to take shoot landscape, portraits and BIF/wildlife. I have a trio of Nikon bodies - D5/D850/Z7.

The Z7 I use primarily for work as well as landscape. The D5 for BIF/wildlife because of its superior AF than the D850. Do you think the D6 is an enough of an improvement for BIF/wildlife AF to warrant an upgrade from the D5? Or should I wait for that rumored magical Z8/9? :)

Many thanks,
Dave
Hi Steve, thanks for such an in-depth review. It'... (show quote)



It really depends - the D6 is better than the D5 only in the more extreme scenarios (normal BIF isn't one of those - fast, small BIF is). If you shoot really fast, extreme stuff, then you will notice a difference and it may be worthwhile. I can tell you that for most of my work, either camera will get me what I want.

As for the Z series - right now there is nothing that leads me to believe they will be at D6 (or D5) level anytime soon. That doesn't mean they won't be at that level soon - just that there's nothing out there by Nikon to indicate it (that I know of).

I (finally) got my D6 review posted! It's geared towards wildlife (surprise) and was done over a 5 week period:
