Extraordinary images and connectivity define the Nikon D500. This 20.9-megapixel DX-format camera lets you get the most out of your photography with its huge ISO 100 to 52,100 range and ultra-precise metering and focus points for incredibly accurate lighting and color. Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth make it easy to transfer images instantly from this Nikon D500 camera body..

The Nikon D500 is a bargain!

As a retired photographer, I've been all Nikon since 1973 when I purchased my first Nikon F. I've owned at least 20 professional Nikon cameras over the years. After 12 days with my new D500, I'm blown away! I also have a D810 and D750, and bought this for the Dx sensor for wildlife.
The D500 build feels really strong... It reminds me of the D810 except slightly smaller and lighter. The sensor is amazing, and can be cranked up to 51,200 ISO for uncapturable captures in VERY low light. The ISO can go higher, but the images become very noisy.
The shutter is fast! The 10 FPS shutter is flawless, and the auto-focus keeps up with your moving targets. I have not had to fine-tune at all, even with my 600mm F4. This camera is a bargain! Great build, great sensor, great shutter, great AF system, great deal!
I carry the 300mm F4 PF on my D500, and it is a terrific combination for shooting small birds hand held. If you shoot Nikon, and seek a professional level of performance from your cameras, the D500 definitely fills the bill! I appreciate Best Buy making this machine easy to own, with their 12-month, same-as-cash option.

I would recommend this to a friend!

This Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 2223 telephoto lens features VR (vibration reduction) to minimize blurring, so you can capture clear photos while shooting with a camera with a Nikon F-Mount. The rounded 9-blade diaphragm enables you to achieve bokeh effects.

Mine is Fine!

I'm a retired news and sports photographer... I photograph wildlife for myself and friends these days...
After three months of using my new 300mm F4E PF, I love it! Size and weight is a great improvement over the last f4 model, and this lens gives a great performance. I had sold my old 300mm F2.8 AF-SII last year when this model was announced. The VR has been very good I think, and compares well to my 600 mm F4 VR-II for extra stops of anti-shake. I have used on both my D750 and D810 with similar results. The focus is fast, and optically excellent, even wide open. The build feels robust and professional. I wish it had been around when I was still working. It would have been great for football!

Is this a Nikon USA lens or a "gray market" lens?

Does the lens come with a Nikon USA warranty card allowing Nikon service/ parts in the US. OR A third party warranty?
My copy bought through Best Buy, has a Nikon-USA warranty. It is not gray market.
