p.2 #1 · p.2 #1 · Does Andre Labonte need the D7500?


Kind of OT but since you mentioned it. Still using my VR1 on a D500 and it's great. It's my go to combo for NHL warm up stock photos and MLB batting practice photos. Also use it with D5 shooting hockey when shooting from the corner photo holes with great results. Just curious what the flaws are that you are referring to Andre. Have had mine since 2009 and it's been a consistent work horse since the D2/D200 days.
Go for the D500 instead.

Mine is becoming soft ... especially at the long end, and it's been serviced once already. The cost of maintenance and repair on it would likely not be worth it ... better to just put the money to a new one. I've had mine since 2006

If I wasn't in a camera forum, I'd say you were talking about a body part for a second there.

Everyone needs the D500. Some just don't know it yet.

Nope. I'll hold out for the D600 or the D7600.

There is (was?) a D600 already.

Makes sense to move on then. Mine had to be repaired once but it still performs so well for my use that I can't justify upgrading.

The biggest pleasure of D500 ownership is knowing that Andre does not (yet) have one. Isn't schadenfreude great?

Psst: It's the best camera I have ever owned, the image quality is superb.

Yup. And I'm several thousand miles away, with a puddle between us, out of harms way ...
