Nikon MB-D17 Battery Grip Multi-Function Black

Product Information

Ohne Batteriegriff müsste ich nun, um an den Auslöseknopf zu kommen, mit der rechten Hand übergreifen. Da diese unbequeme Haltung bei div. Sportmotiven oft längere Zeit notwendig ist, bekam ich richtiggehend Schulterprobleme. Abhilfe schaffte da ein Batteriegriff. Below are comparison shots with the D500 side-by-side with other Nikon DSLR cameras. The images are to scale giving an idea of the relative sizes. Have some shots of it below. It looks great. Feels a little light and plastic because it is! the finish and manufacturing of it is flawless. No flashing or rough or badly made bits.

The Nikon D500 is Nikon's top of the range APS-C (DX) sensor Digital SLR, with a 20 megapixel sensor, the camera offers 10fps continuous shooting, 4K video recording and built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. As Nikon's fastest DX APS-C camera it shoots at 10fps, compared to the Nikon D300s which could reach 8fps with the optional battery grip, and the Nikon D7200, which can shoot at 6fps at full resolution. Nikon D500 FeaturesNikon released the much-anticipated D500 for sports and wildlife shooters on January 6, 2016. Thanks to its excellent image quality, proven ergonomics and a superb autofocus system with a huge buffer, the Nikon D500 is a sports and wildlife photographers’ dream come true.

If this technology is in the D810 replacement and it's fitted with the new af system, this is going to be a very 3 pensive year for me D500 plus D820. I plan on getting a D500 next month at the end of my busy season. Never though I would ever seek out another AP-C camera but..... From the Retouch menu you can process raw files, trim images, resize, adjust D-lighting, correct red-eye, straighten images, correct distortion, perspective, as well as apply filter effects (skylight and warm filter), monochrome and image overlay. There's also an option to edit movies. When processing raw files you have the option to adjust image quality, size, white balance, exposure compensation, picture control, noise reduction, colour space, vignette and D-lighting. Have not played around with this or read how it works. Its works! and has a few settings to do different things. No compatibility issues with either Nikon batteries or camera functions. It even has a slot in the standard battery tray for the external power adapter (EP-B5) cable built-in! I personally wouldn't use a grip with tripod work anyway, but that's just me. If I want a vertical shot, that's what a ball head is for. As for heavy lenses on a cheap grip, again, I'm not putting it on a tripod, so no worries there. Frankly, if the lens is so heavy that mounting the camera on a tripod becomes a concern, then the lens should have a dedicated tripod mount (like the 200-500mm does anyway).Nikon’s free SnapBridge app is available for iOS and Android mobile devices and works with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC. Set-up is relatively easy and while I’ve occasionally had some problems getting the app to work effectively, it’s generally smooth going. I have used both OEM and 3rd party Grips, and can say without a doubt that OEM's have an edge over the lesser quality 3rd party, Stepping outside the world of Nikon, one close competitor to the D500 is the 7D Mark II from Canon. However, the D500 has the advantage of being released about 15 months after the 7D Mark II, so it’s undeniably the more advanced camera. The D500 that i have not only heats up while making movies, it starts warming up while taking images in CH2. And by taking images i do no mean i am pressing the button until it takes 200 frames. I am a bird watcher and in i have to take images in CH2, 5 to 15 frames with one press max to get the desired shot.

Also, it’s best to shoot in aperture priority mode with Auto ISO for wildlife photography. An alternative is to shoot in manual mode with Auto ISO, but that can lead to overexposed photos if you shoot in bright environments, because the Auto ISO won’t be able to go below 100. Nikon D500 + 500mm PF f/5.6 @ 500mm, ISO 3600, 1/400, f/5.6 The Nikon D500 is not related to Nikon’s D600, D700, or D800 series, which are all full-frame DSLRs targeted toward different audiences. Nikon D500 vs D7500 The Nikon D500 is clearly ahead overall, although the Canon 7D Mark II is still a great camera. If you’re new to both brands, I’d get the D500. However, if you shoot Canon and are considering switching, my recommendation is to hold off. A more natural upgrade for you is a Canon mirrorless body (which also lets you use all your existing lenses, with the Canon EF-EOS R adapter). The Nikon D500 makes time-lapse video incredibly easy. Set-up is simple: just choose the interval (time between shots) and the total shooting time and you’re good to go. One of the really nice features is the “smoothing” option, which compensates for extreme changes in exposure during the recording. Once all the images are captured, the camera combines them into the final video like the one you see below. Nikon D500: Performance Anyone who has been waiting for this camera since the Nikon D300s, has been waiting a long time, with the 12 megapixel D300s released in 2009. The D300s offered 7-8fps, ISO100 to ISO6400, and 720p video, which at the time was quite impressive. This goes to show how far we've come in the last 7 years, with the new D500 offering a 20 megapixel sensor, 10fps continuous shooting, ISO50 to ISO1,640,000, 4K video recording, a tilting 3.2inch touch-screen, and built-in Wi-Fi.

One of the other big features Nikon is touting is its Snapbridge system that uses Bluetooth LE (a low-power variant of Bluetooth also known as Bluetooth Smart), and Wi-Fi to maintain a connection between the camera and a smart device. This includes the ability to auto-transfer images from the camera, as well as initiating the Wi-Fi connection for remote shooting or manual image transfer. Context These are all high-speed Nikon DX cameras meant for sports and wildlife photographers. You can see that Nikon steadily improved the resolution, frame rate, and focus system of these cameras as time went by. The D100 through D300s are outdated cameras from 2009 and earlier, and we don’t recommend them any more. Nikon D500 + 500PF @ 500mm, ISO 450, 1/4000, f/5.6

The most similar camera to the D500 within Nikon’s own lineup is the D7500. The D7500 is a slightly lower-end camera and part of the D7000-series DSLRs. However, the two cameras have the same sensor, meaning that their image quality and high ISO performance is identical. Which one is right for you? To help answer that question, here’s a table of their most important differences: Camera Feature The Nikon D500 has a 20-megapixel APS-C sensor with an approximately 1.5x crop factorrelative to full-frame. (Nikon calls its APS-C sensors “DX” and its full-frame sensors “FX.” See more at Nikon DX vs FX.)I don't know because I don't have the grip yet and don't own EN-EL18a batteries. But I mentioned I mentioned that the specs for the 3rd party grips I've looked at specifically don't mention EN-EL18A, only AA and EN-EL15. Somebody who owns both might be able to clarify the situation. The Nikon D500 is weather sealed and feels extremely well built, with a good sized handgrip and ample rubber covering to provide a gripped surface to make sure you have a firm hold of the camera. There is a metal chassis, with the top of the camera made from magnesium alloy, and the rest of the camera is made from strong plastic, with some carbon fibre parts. Regardless of what each part is made from, the camera feels very solid with no flex or movement visible. All of the joints, buttons and dials are fully weather sealed, including the battery and memory compartments. Despite the solid construction, the D500 isn't the heaviest APS-C DSLR weighing 760g body only, with the title of heaviest APS-C DSLR going to the Canon EOS 7D Mark II, at 910g. PS .... If any of you guys use a third party grip are there any particular makes that you`d recommend
