I feel like I'm getting old. When you get older don't you start having, like, problems with your bones and stuff?

Brody: why does that thing say m-e-n?

Me: it says m-e-n-u... the u is blocked and you can't see it.

Brody: How did you figure that out?

Me: well, what is that thing that says m-e-n-u on it?

Brody: ooooooh!

Nikon D500 SnapBridge is cool, as long as you don’t want to use it on your Apple device.

*sigh*... I’ve been waiting for years for @nikonusa to release the follow up to the D300 that I’ve been using since 2007. Finally, the release the D500, and the reviews have been amazing. Availability has been scarce, but I was finally able to pick one up yesterday!

One thing I’d been looking forward to using is the network connectivity to get images off of the camera directly to my iPhone. This is great to get a shot quickly up to social media for sharing.

Well... turns out that SnapBridge, the feature that provides this functionality, currently only works on Android. Official statement is that iOS support to be available “later this summer”. Which to me, could mean September... or 4 months from now.

Get this: to enable the built-in Wi-Fi network on camera, you need to connect via SnapBridge. There is no manual way to turn on the built-in Wi-Fi through the menu system. So, all of us Apple iOS users out here need to wait who knows how long. Nikon won’t give me an ETA.

I now own an expensive piece of photographic equipment that does not do something that it is advertised as being capable of. Shame on you @nikonusa !

Brody: Why didn't the chicken cross the road?

Me: Hmmm... I dunno, why?

Brody: Because his friends tried crossing and got hit by a car and died. Then the chicken had to eat them.

Brody: How come Barley doesn't have to brush his teeth? It's not fair!

Me: He chews on rawhide stuff that cleans his teeth.

Brody: Why can't I just chew on rawhide?

Me: *sigh* ... I will buy you some rawhide to chew on.
