[Leica] I'm A Nikon Shooter Again - MARK in HNY

Tue Jan 15 01:15:36 PST 2019

Yes, true, but video is hardly the point of the D500. Its an action/spirts/wildlife stills speed freak, a one trick pony, but indispensable if that just happens to be your trick. I advise regular photographers here, all day long, to get a D750 if they do not require raw speed....
