Q: 2. I just received my D500 and much to my dismay, Lexar 1000x SDHC (3) cards will not work properly. Non Nikon batteries will not work at all. Is this a design issue or a firmware flaw? I know of another D500 user experiencing the same memory card issues.

Q: 5. Can I use 2 SD cards - one in each slot, or do I have to use 1 SD card and 1 XQD card? Thanks!

A: You have to use one XQD card. A second SD card cannot be used in the slot. The XQD cards are a bit expensive now, but the price will come down. They can gain you a lot of buffer speed if you shoot continuosly at a high fps. I use the XQD card for fast planes at air shows. It is amazing how many images can be taken simultaneously at 10 fps.

Q: 6. Is this refurbished by Nikon?

A: This item is refurbished by Nikon.

Q: 7. Is Nikon d610 compartible with Tamron 18-400lens.

A: The Nikon D610 would be able to accept the Tamron 18-400mm Nikon F lens, but since that lens is made for DX format and not FX of the D610, you'll lose resolution since it'll crop the sensor.

Q: 8. No light meter?

A: The D500 has extensive light metering. Spot, Center weighted, and Matrix. And it can vary the points the metering is done. Works with lenses up to f8 on a couple of selected points.

Q: 9. Will the D500 operate with only my SanDisk 64GB Extreme PRO UHS-II SDXC Memory Card installed, or does it also require the QXD card to be in the camera at the same time? I may have to wait before I purchase a QXD card & Reader.

A: Yes, you can use the UHS-II cards, you do not need to have the XQD card in too for it to work.
