question

Sqare Trade Protection Plan (STPP) for D500: Square Trade technicians are not trained by Nikon. How do they know how to fix problems with this complex, brand new camera? Talking to STPP representatives on the phone did not provide any answers. It's confidential I was told. What do others think of STPP?
Asked by: Chester
Square Trade is an excellent protective plan for electronic goods. Their repair service is highly esteemed by many customers.

What are the minimum specifications for the card(s) (both SD and XQD) in order for the camera to support 10 fps for 200 images?
Asked by: Mike
Thank you for the rapid responses … However, these two replies are somewhat contradictory. I do not currently own a D500 but I'm seriously considering acquiring one. (Hence I do not have the manual to peruse!) Both answers seem to make sense, but I do not see how both can be correct simultaneously. As I will probably purchase a D500 (waiting for Black Friday/Cyber Monday to see if I can get a better deal!) I'm trying to figure out what card(s) to buy with it and how to configure the camera to use them to best advantage. I LIKE the ability to use an SD card as a backup, but "Anonymous" indicates this will impair my ability to take 10 fps for 200 images. The answers are not likely to dissuade me from buying the D500, but is will likely influence my options on card selections and in-camera setup. Thanks

You can find the lens sold separately on the B&H site and find all the specs plus reviews there . I've been quite happy with mine (also bought as part of the D500 kit) and, to me at least, it seems to be quite a cut above the typical "kit lens."
