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

Artemis astronauts comments on D5 vs Z9, and the 400mm

I just personally love how these astronauts are using two of the most capable cameras produced by Nikon and comparing and contrasting the image quality, and it's not a 15 sec sound byte of some dude who just says "DSLR's are dead! Look, this has a-bajillion Megapixels, and this thing only has 20! Th

He's dead, Jim (D500 replacements?).

No Z8 II soon, it will be at least a year after a Z9II, and the only pro Z cameras (settings banks like you're used to) are the Z8 and Z9. The highest-end DX Z body is the Z50II, which is a D5x00 replacement camera and not nearly up to the pro standards. Why not just send it to Nikon and use their f

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' (

DSLR or Mirrorless?

I was a very long holdout, switching to mirrorless late because I can't stand low-quality EVFs, or EVFs that cannot show you a live preview of the scene while shooting continuously. When the Z9 came out I made the leap and never looked back. Even after all this time the Z8/Z9 are still the only bodi

So Long to the Z7 Platform?

Nah. It's pretty clear that Nikon doesn't think there's enough demand for a Z7/Z8/Z9. We all (on reddit) would like for Nikon to do an A7R alternative Z7III. A high megapixel slow still camera is a niche that's not currently filled, and doesn't require a fast readout sensor.

Z6 III or Z8? I’m tired of staring at spec sheets and my bank account.

The Z8 offers so many other options it isn't funny. I have a Z9 and Z8 and there are photos that I can take with those cameras that I could never have dreamed would've been possible with any other camera. I am never NOT owning another Nikon Flagship camera. I don't think I can stomach the Z9 II quit

Switching over from Canon, best equivalent setup?

Nikon Z doesn't have a flagship APS-C equivalent to the R7. The most capable APS-C at the moment is the Z50II. That said, the Z5II/Zf are equally as capable on AF and tracking and you can use that for wildlife too (or consider the Z6III for the speed), but you lose pixel density for the reach. There

Please Nikon make a Z7 III

But the Z8 does have top of the line DR, just not quiet as good as the Z7 / D850. But not really in a practical way for 99.9999% of shooters. I had a D850 (among others) and switched eventually to the Z8, I have never once felt there was a meaningful or even noticeable difference. Sure it looks roug

G2 lenses coming soon?

I own the 16-30 f2.8. I have yet to notice any softness around the edges, but… I shoot weddings, music and corporate events, and my subject is almost always in the center of the image frame. I use the 16-30, when I am also using the 35-150, because the f2-f2.8 lens, while great, just isn’t wide enou
