Well as I said before JoJu, I wish you all the best with it!........the Nikon does look good and is nicely built, actually it solves one of my biggest pet hates, the viewfinder is well set well back from the display screen, keeping it nose grease clean........I wish the D500 had that.
It also has IBIS......worth it's weight in gold! (Strange decision by Canon to leave it out)
You know now the dust has settled with my lens calibrations, I rarely notice a miss, but not having to calibrate is a delice.
Battery life is down rated by this CPE (or whatever) rating.....many are getting 1,000 shots from a battery or more, this is just as well as there are apart from the battery no contacts to the camera so a vertical battery grip with functionalities will never be possible. (an error for sure)
I just hope that Nikon is not backward in coming forward with all the FW updates and look over Fuji's shoulder to see how it's done.
I guess it's easy for me as no other camera comes close to the D500 both in speed of shooting, speed of changing 4 modes AF on the fly instantly without your eye ever leaving the finder, apart from the D5/D850 I think no other camera can do that. Changing the AF on the D750 is a slow two handed affair (like most DSLRs), you just miss the moment changing.
There's no doubt Nikon will get there from what must be said is a pretty impressive piece of kit for something straight out of the gate!
