About the cover
Welcome to issue 56
I don’t know which I’m more excited about this issue:
the launch of Nikon’s 10 frames-per-second D500, or
N-Photo’s fresh new look. Happily, if you’ll permit me to
mangle a metaphor, you can have your Nikon cake and
eat it. And where better to start than with our special
feature (page 8), which takes an in-depth look at the
D500 (and its big brother, the D5) and explores just
why it’s a potential game-changer.
And if you’d rather use your Nikon than gaze lovingly
at one – and that’s not to say you can’t do both – don’t
miss Chris Rutter’s feature on mastering your Nikon
in a single weekend (page 24). Broken down into 11
easy-to-follow lessons of half an hour or less, it ’s
another potential game-changer.
All that plus a masterclass on pet photography, an
interview with wildlife ace Chris Packham, and a
round-up of the best standard zooms for DX Nikons.
We hope you like our new look, and happy shooting!Paul Grogan, Editor
