What's next after mirrorless cameras for Canon?

Shutterless is the most obvious, Nikon already dropped it from the Z9 I think. After that I really, really want to see more computational advancements. Once you get readout speeds sufficiently high you can do instant HDR, capture a number of shots in one go and merge them to get crazy stupid DR and

D850 to mirrorless?

Well, I have a couple of D850s still, but I moved to Z9's when they first came out for a few reasons, and it's an absolutely incredible camera. I do a lot of stuff where I really need the speed, and video things where the new features come in handy. And even though most of the current primes were no

What is it with Nikon and Social Media

No one over the age of 16 should be taking social media or 'techtuber' influencers seriously. They're just long form advertisers. Buy whatever suits your needs. I wasn't a fan of Nikon's first gen mirrorless cameras and didn't buy them. But once the Z9/Z8 came out, I was more than happy to switch ov

Switched From Canon To Nikon, I think I made the right choice.

"....looking on upgrading to the Nikon Z6ii or Z5ii next year." The Z6II will not feel like much of an upgrade. When you do get around to upgrading, don't bother with anything other than an EXPEED 7 body - they are an order of magnitude better in the AF department. Currently that means a Z50II, Z5II

DSLR MP question

The D5 is actually still Nikon's best low-light camera - it's even better than the D6 at high ISO, and is about 2/3 of a stop better than a Z9 above ISO 2000. However, it's noticeably worse under ISO 200, even compared to a D750 or D850. EDIT: actually D6 has the same sensor. PhotonsToPhotos shows t

Nikon 2026

All speculation. I doubt we will get a z7iii. Nikon expected the z7 and z6 to sell equally well, but the z6 line consistently performed better than the 7 through the first two generations. Given the price difference that will have been disappointing. With the z8/9, they took the more 'traditional' (

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

A cursory comparison review of the Nikon Z9 and Sony A7M5 for bird photography

“I use a Nikon for still birds and a Sony for flying birds” what does that even mean? The Z9 is plenty capable of capturing both. Why edit two completely different colour sciences?

Photos for teen vogue by erika parente long

What are the benefits of using a medium format camera, since the Nikon Z9 is a capable enough camera for any glossy magazine cover? Thank you for the answer about the lights!

Would upgrading to a Z8 help me?

The Z8 has subject/eye detect/tracking which makes it light years ahead of the DSLR focus systems. Its stacked sensor means the data stream feeding the focus system never gets interrupted while taking a photo. You can shoot at 20 fps and the focus system never loses sight of the subject like it woul
