another D500 strength - I have been shooting Peregrine Falcons at this particular location in Southern California for the past 4 years. This shot was taken yesterday afternoon about 4:30PM when the sun was almost directly across from us (about 15-20 degree to our right). Notice the reflection in the water! In the past, my canon (1D4, 7D2 with 500 IS II) would struggle to lock and track focus on the bird under similar condition.
D500 + 200-500 had no issue of focus/lock/and track this female Peregrine Falcon speeding across with its prey (note the wing shape). I squeezed 5 shots off and they are ALL tack sharp! Personally, I didn\'t expect the combo to perform this well! My 3 other shooting buddies could not get their cameras to lock focus (7D2 and 500 IS II)
