We had a great day with sunny skies and some good racing to capture, it was an opportunity for Rob to test his new Panasonic and for me the first opportunity to try the D500 with both the 300mm f4 PF and 24-120mm f4 lenses so not too much equipment to carry.
To say I am astonished at the performance of the D500 is probably an understatement and the autofocus was superb and did not miss a shot so out of nearly 300 images taken, there was only 1 that was soft and that was due to me not the equipment.
I had the camera set on group and continuous high so that I could try and control the number of images taken up to 10fps, I did manage to control it to 2/3 images at a time so even though there were a lot of duplications of images in some cases the minor differences made the option for a better end shot easier.
To summarise, I am delighted with the change back to Nikon and have no regret, yes the D500 is larger and heavier but the extra size and weight are not huge compared to the XT2 with battery grip and in fact the Fuji kit is taller.
These are the images from yesterday edited down to select the best from multiple choice captures.
Did I say I am very happy with the D500.......................well I am!
