Absolutely sad news. Thanks for all your help through the years, Fred. RIP

Hey @Clovishound congrats on your new shooter! FYI, you can transfer images from the camera to computer via USB C and skip the card reader altogether. I transfer my daughters volleyball videos this way and its pretty quick. I needed a card reader for my old Z6 to update firmware, it might be...

I remember that problem with DSLR's, my 24-120 was the worst. I haven't had a lens do this since switching to mirrorless.

Sounds like you want the best of the best, with honors, and luckily, all that takes is a bunch of money. I'm not a gamer but have a need for some of the same hardware for the tasks I use for work and home. You'll want a computer with a SSD boot drive to make it faster, I just use a .5gb but...

Good choice and quite the upgrade from your 24-50! You’re correct, there’s nothing to extend before shooting. At its most compact, you’ll be ready to shoot at 28mm, though the lens will extend as you zoom towards 75mm. Doubt you’d ever need to use the 24-50 again. Let us know what you think of...

I like the feature. I didnt think I would but after getting used to it, I appreciate its compact design and ease of use, though I've never had a problem like what you're describing. Hopefully, Nikon will get you squared away quickly.

Have you upgraded the firmware on both camera body and lens to the latest and greatest? Check the firmware on the camera with the lens attached by going to the wrench, (Setup Menu) and all the way at the bottom is the firmware version. The (C) is camera and (LF) is lens firmware. Compare what...

Do you have Bluetooth turned off? Does it do it when the lens isn’t attached? Does it do it with the lens attached but not the battery grip? I’ve never experienced this with my z7ii gripped with the mb-n11grip, my B battery hasn’t been changed in months. What grip are you using?

@Bonky There’s lots of topics if you want to post pictures that correspond to that subject or you can start a daily 365 page of your own. Here is a link.

Yup, I always start with the rocket blower with the sensor facing the ground. I use a swab after all other cleaning techniques have been used to minimize damage by dragging anything across the sensor. It feels intimidating to clean your sensor for the first time but It’s really not and has...

I think you'll find that mirrorless has a much better time focusing in low light than DSLR's ever did. Even at f4, most shots will easily find focus. I use my 50 for the effect on out of focus items more than just for low light and I'd personally get rid of my 24-70 f4 before getting rid of my...

@Bonky Keep in mind that your 35mm on your D5500 has the effective focal length of a 50mm on full frame. If you like that look, you might want to consider the 50mm f1.8S, (or Z mount 40mm f2 Plastic Fantastic if you want to keep the cost down) for your low light lens on the Z5. For a day time...

The firmware update released today is for the Z5, Z6ii & Z7ii.
