I went to the Nikon NPS Roadshow at Manchester on Tuesday.

Very impressed with the D500 and of course the D5. they had an array of lenses also the D7200 and the D610. Most lenses from 10.5 to 800 also the 200 f2, TC's and the new flashguns.

The D500 felt much better when I had removed the motor drive - addon, yet the D5 felt completely natural. Although I have to admit my arms were hanging off hand holding the D5 with a 300 f2.8 trying to follow BIF, I am used to using a monopod for such tasks.

Added bonus, Nikon technicians cleaned my D200 and D300s inside and out, also my 50-f1.4, they made a beautiful job of them I watched them for a while they were extremely thorough, especially inside, blowing out dust and cleaning every nook and cranny. In some cases they removed front and rear elements of lenses to clean them properly. :bowing:

I took a family group pic of my D200 flanked by the D5 and D500.
