Now is the time to hold Nikon accountable for the third party lens situation

You can vote with your wallet. I owed solely Nikon cameras my whole life and enjoyed every single one of them, but i only can choose between the (overpriced) nikon 1st party lenses and a few Tamron lenses that don't overlap the focal lengths of the Nikon lenses, I'm switching to Sony or another comp

Not liking the images out of the Z6III so far. [Discussion]

I had the same issue, that's the reason I sold my Z6, it simply wasn't sharp enough compared to my D810. I've been seeing this exact problem here on Reddit and other forums, many of the shots posted with Nikon mirrorless seem either out-of-focus or soft/mushy compared to DSLR. The crazy thing is eve

Is the Nikon Z5 good for Astrophotography?

Both the Z5 and Z6 suffer from colored concentric ring artifacts. Check THIS site for more details. There are ways to help prevent them from affecting the image, just beware that it’s known.

Moving to Z

If you're used to D850, the softer (due to aa filter) images on Z6 III might take some getting used to. Z8 would be a more seamless change

Nikon D750 (or D780) vs z5

I’ve read that the D780 is a hybrid DSLR sharing much of what became the original Z6. I know the originally release Z6 was terrible as mirrorless cameras go, but the D780 is supposed to be a helluva camera and the ONLY hybrid camera Nikon ever made.

What camera should I buy?

Skip the first gen Z6, the Z6II is a bare minimum. But if budget is tight, go for a D750 (FX) or D500 - but the D500 (DX) will tie you to crop lenses, while a full frame (FX) camera will give you the option to use the same lenses on mirrorless (if recent lenses) with the FTZ adapter. Using a Z6 pure

Which Nikon Z body is best for dog photography with strong AF tracking (without going to Z8/Z6III)?

I have a Z7ii, Zf, and Z8 and I do a fair bit of dog photography. What kind of grip do you have? Does it have a thumb hook? I have the NEEWER CA-079 (not their CA-073 model), and it lets me use the Zf one-handed. The thumb grip makes a huge difference. Maybe try a better $30 grip before an expensive

camera advice

The original z6 is pretty much the first z camera Nikon ever made, and it has all the problems that a "we don't know what this should be yet" camera has. Which is why it got replaced with the z6-ii two years later, and then the z6-iii a more normal four years after that. It was a necessary camera to

Help... Need a D700 upgrade (but I LOVE those colours)!

This is a fair question to ask, I'll try to answer it as honestly as I can : - no, the benefits in resolution, high ISO noise and dynamic range do not matter to me. The D700 was already a low light monster when I first got it, and I have absolutely zero issues shooting with that camera for every asp
