The problem is most vendors only describe their batteries as "D500 compatible". Could someone recommend a good replacement for the D500 and point me in the right direction? I live in the UK.
One of the other big features Nikon is touting is its Snapbridge system that uses Bluetooth LE (a low-power variant of Bluetooth also known as Bluetooth Smart), and Wi-Fi to maintain a connection between the camera and a smart device. This includes the ability to auto-transfer images from the camera, as well as initiating the Wi-Fi connection for remote shooting or manual image transfer. Context I'm aware that there's an issue with the original battery and that I should be looking for the Li-ion20 variant.

The Nikon D500 is not related to Nikon’s D600, D700, or D800 series, which are all full-frame DSLRs targeted toward different audiences. Nikon D500 vs D7500 A new feature that Nikon is trumpeting is its SnapBridge connection to smartphones or tablets. This is designed to get around the limitations of current Wi-Fi implementations by maintaining a permanent connection between the camera and smart device using Bluetooth, switching to the more power-hungry Wi-Fi only when required for transferring high-resolution images or remotely controlling the camera. Part of the idea here is that the camera can automatically transfer every picture you take to your phone (and then to Nikon’s cloud-sharing service, if you like) without needing the Wi-Fi to be turned on all the time. How does the Nikon D500 hold up today, given that it was announced in 2016? Even though some of its specifications lag behind the newest mirrorless cameras, the Nikon D500 remains arguably the most advanced APS-C DSLR ever made. It might stay that way forever, since most camera companies have now shifted focus toward mirrorless. See more at DSLR vs Mirrorless Cameras. Nikon D500 Review: IntroductionOverall image quality is very good, but then again the same is true of much cheaper Nikon APS-C DSLRs. Indeed, at low ISOs there’s no real advantage in this area compared to the D7200 or indeed the D5500. But the D500 keeps going longer as the ISO is raised, and so long as you don’t expect miracles, it’s still capable of giving quite usable files at its top standard setting of ISO 51,200, and maybe even a stop higher. However, I can’t help but think that the extended settings exist more for marketing value than practical use. Nikon D500 review – Dynamic range, resolution and noise Interestingly enough the Tether Tools power adapter does indicate that it has an internal battery. If so, that could explain how they are able to maintain sufficient power that seems to be required for the D500.
Nikon D300s:Announced 2009. 12 megapixels, 7 FPS (8 with grip), 51 autofocus points. First camera in the series to have video If this technology is in the D810 replacement and it's fitted with the new af system, this is going to be a very 3 pensive year for me D500 plus D820. I plan on getting a D500 next month at the end of my busy season. Never though I would ever seek out another AP-C camera but.....
Nikon D500 review – Autofocus
The Nikon D500 makes time-lapse video incredibly easy. Set-up is simple: just choose the interval (time between shots) and the total shooting time and you’re good to go. One of the really nice features is the “smoothing” option, which compensates for extreme changes in exposure during the recording. Once all the images are captured, the camera combines them into the final video like the one you see below. Nikon D500: Performance The issue with 3rd party batteries was different than the issue with the Nikon Li-ion20 variant. When the D500 came out, prior 3rd party batteries did not work at all in the D500 whereas the older Nikon batteries had a shorter half-life (I had an older 3rd party battery that came free with a D7200 which didn't work at all in the D500). The non-Nikon battery manufacturers subsequently modified their design and these batteries now work in the D500. I know because B&H gave me a free non-Nikon battery when I bought my D500 and it works the same as the Li-ion20 variant Nikon battery as far as I can tell.
Great Deal
