Nikon d500 dpreview

[ratssass]

...so, anyway, I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger on something.May not be a camera body, if I think about it much more.Was considering the 750 since its release, but then came the 500.Disregarding any bells or whistles, I'm looking for low light/non flash performance at the dragstrips.That is my priority.Currently (and most likely, for a while) shooting with a Sigma 24-70,70-200 EX 2.8.A 150-600 Tamron, 10-24 DX Nikon,and an 8mm?Rokinon?....on a D7000, or 200.I've read a million comparisons, viewed the recalls,etc.Again, I don't really care for the frame rate difference, and an articulating view is cool, but wouldn't ever be a dealbreaker.Opinions are great, if you can solidly back it up, but real world would trump.
Thank you.

Well, Earth generates a comparably tiny amount of light, but it reflects a huge amount of Sun light, clouds only reflect about half of all light coming from the Sun. So there is no mistake here. There is a lot of light coming from the Earth to the Sun. But to be precise, it takes about 500 sec (8 min 20 sec), not 7 min, for this reflected light to reach the Sun. To be even more precise - it is 499 sec aka 1 Astronomical unit.

Ok, but sciency crap aside we're still building the trebuchet and launching Bieber at the sun, right?

Yes but first but the cas,, donations have to be wired to my offshore Panamanian account.

Light takes around 7 minutes to travel from the sun to the earth

Actually the time between the creation of a photon in the core of the sun as an x-ray and the time it finally reaches us as visible light is about 1 million years.

Yeah, the wireless feature is a deal killer,

Really ? Well, if you say so.

I fiddled with a d500 yesterday. It was awesome. had the viewfinder blockout too.
the FPS was amazing.
Even output in TIFF for those that prefer it.

That Figure does sound somewhat right regarding the Suns core but going back to my original typo there is something being built in France called ITER. its a variant of cold fusion, as in the Sun, but I don't think its actually close to true cold fusion, so technically my original mistake was actually valid.
