Less effective than hoped

I disagree with many of the reviews. To me this unit is underpowered for most real world cleaning chores that are more difficult than getting sand off of a hard surface. I purchased it to clean my car. It barely pulls dirt off of carpet and requires many repeated passes with the brush. The "crevice" tool is the same size as the nozzle itself, so it will not actually fit in most crevices! I see they have a 16 volt unit for almost the same price, with less runtime. Extra power might be worth it. This vac IMHO is only suitable for minimal duty.

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR Super Telephoto Zoom Lens: Designed for use with most Nikon cameras with an F-Mount, this super telephoto zoom lens lets you capture birds, wildlife, motorsports and events in crisp clarity. The f/5.6 constant aperture helps you achieve out-of-focus backgrounds and lets you shoot in dim lighting.

Nothing else like it

I have used this lens extensively on my D610 and D500 for birds and other wildlife. Results are spectacular. The VR works amazingly well. I only need a monopod when using it on the D500 with an effective angle of view of a 750mm lens. On D610, I routinely hand hold. Sharpness and contrast are superb. F5.6 is good for even twilight shots with high ISO capabilities of my 2 Nikon bodies. Only "average" thing about the lens is focusing. It is not blazing fast, but I find it OK for flying birds unless very close. (Explosive warblers will still need a 300F2.8!) Having a range of 200-500mm has been more handy than I thought it would be for those times (especially with the D500) when 500mm is too much. No need to change lenses.

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..

Awesome Action Camera
By Cookie
I took this camera with me to the Grand Tetons, along with my D810. I used the D500 for wildlife, and the 810 for landscape. This is now my dynamic duo. Very fast focusing system, although I would have loved this to also be 36MP like the 810. I use it with my 200-500 f5.6. I love this camera!

Does 200-500 focus faster with D500?
July 18, 2016
I own the 200-500. Focus speed is only limiting factor in bird photography, IMHO. Does it focus faster on the D500 than on the D810?
