New High Resolution Image of The Earth taken by the Artemis II astronauts.

This was likely shot with one of the Nikon Z9s they have onboard. In which case, I'd say this is likely largely unaltered, to the extent possible. EDIT: Someone has provided a link and EXIF data, it was shot with a D5, with both a long exposure and high ISO. It's probably had a fair bit of noise red

Jellyfish (Hornets too) Skywatchers Video II - Stabilized

Exactly. As good as it is, the Nikon P1000/1100 only employs a 1/2.3" (6.17mm x 4.55mm) sensor. Now, imagine the quality possible from a professional, full-frame (36mm x 24mm) sensor on a Nikon Z9 mirrorless or D6 DSLR, which is over thirty times that size. In broad daylight, at base-ISO, there woul

For all the Pros who shoot Nikon

“Gear doesn’t matter” means buying a great ( expensive) camera doesn’t make you a great photographer. A great photographer will get great shots regardless of the gear. Conversely, an untrained/unskilled photographer isn’t going to get great shots just because they have a great camera. As a few peopl

Panasonic Says a Sports Camera Isn’t the Focus Right Now but an S1H Successor Is [PetaPixel]

We actually added the S1 II to our tools alongside our Z 9 bodies last summer as a high end hybrid tool for photo and some videography. The S1 II have better low light and high ISO capabilities and also a better dynamic range compared to the Z 9. Not to mention better video capabilities. In this reg

DSLR MP question

This is not entirely true, the context is very important and it's more nuanced than the charts suggest. Bill Claff's measurements are invaluable, but they measure pixel level noise. To compare the results from a D5 and Z9 in terms of what you will actually see, you have to down sample the Z9 files t

Nikon Z6 iii or Z8

You will need glass. Glass is better than cropping when you are trying to increase your reach. But some subjects in nature are still too small at 600mm like birds. The extra pixels certainly help with the wildlife, because there is a limit on the amount of glass you can get. Though if your subject i

Kleiner Tipp mit Einstellungen und Veranstaltungen

Ich fotografiere sehr viele Events/ Konzerte und je nachdem was du erreichen willst muss das passende in der Kamera eingestellt werden. Bei mir mit Nikon Z9 habe ich die ISO Automatik begrenzt auf 12800. Ansonsten arbeite ich immer mit Verschlusspriotität da man auch gerne mal schnelle oder langsame

Should I upgrade from Nikon D750 to a Z series?

You already said you don't need to, so don't. Based on IQ, you won't notice a worthwhile difference with a Z6/Z6ii in daylight (BSI/higher native iso helps for low light a lot though.. Z6/Z6II are Nikon's best "low light" cameras ever, with Zf close). To me, a worthwhile (cheapest) upgrade begins wi

"Initialization failed" Am I overthinking it?

You will find that it is more versatile than the 24-70 f4 It lives on my Z9, more than any other lens I own and use. I am a working photographer and make really large prints that are phenomenal. I have the f2.8 trilogy of Nikon Z mount lenses, yet the 24-120 is my favorite for most of my work. When
