it has the same exact sensor. It doesn't have the same sensor. Although Nikon introduced a 20.9MP sensor in 2017 with the D500, it's undergone two major upgrades since then: the first to the Z30/Z50/Zfc's sensor to add phase detect autofocus and improve readout speed, and again for the Z50II to give

Suffered (enjoyed?) this for a life time. The Last few years I simplified my attack to smallness/lightness as my new rule. No 2.8 zooms. Z30. 12-28 Z Nikon. 10.5mm Nikon on an F2Z thing. No strap. Just belt clip. And a belt clip holder for the 2nd lens. Having so much fun. ❣️

Your main issue isn’t the Z30, it’s low light + autofocus limits + movement. First thing: in dark scenes, autofocus struggles because there’s not enough contrast. That’s why it feels like it’s “not focusing.” Try switching to manual focus and using focus peaking. It’s way more reliable in abandoned/

Serbia, if there is something new within this budget, I would probably prefer that. I was also looking at the Nikon Z30 kit (16–50mm + 50–250mm), but used gear is also completely fine for me if it offers better value.

Samyang 8mm 2.8 on Fuji XT 30. Quite good. And I have FujiX to Nikon Z adapter. So, also wonderful on Z30 Nikon….

I don't recommend a Ricoh if you want to do any amout of video work. It's a photography first camera and video is very limited. Get something like a Nikon Z30 or Z50ii with the Nikkor 24mm f1.7, or a Fujifilm X-M5 with a similar lens. It'll cost you less and get you better results. Plus you'll have

Sometimes a lens can be good for a purpose even if it is not the best at passing pixel-peeping tests. I just got a 70-300 AF-S VR lens for use on my Z30. My intended use is wildlife video. This is a very undemanding use case. What's needed is only decent VR. One other thing I just re-discovered is t

Nikon doesn’t have any 1.2 autofocus lenses. You’ll need to buy a manual focus lens to get that aperture. There are two variants of the 50 1.4 lens that autofocus. The 50 1.4 G lens is the latest one that is compatible with the D300. To get the similar results from a Nikon, you would need to purchas

There is a web site that lets you directly compare images for different cameras. I set it to JPEG and selected Your D810E, The New Nikon Z50ii Hasselblad X1D and older iPhones I think I see this... The X1D wins, hands down. Between the 810E and Z50, the 810 has more resolution but the Z50ii ios very

You REALLY want a VR lens. Let me say that again. You must get a lens with VR. If you have DX Z-mount the best and lowest priced option is the AF-S 55-300 VR. Ues, it need an FTZ but the combo of the lens and FTZ is still smaller than a Nikon Z-mount 300mm lens You can buy this used for $200. It wor
