Well I bought a very good used D5 for my wildlife photography. The speed of everything is crazy fast. It almost knows where I want it to focus before I even touch the button. But one area I am having issues with is noise at not extremely high ISO. At 100 % on the computer it looks quite noisy...

I am close to pulling the trigger on a 500mm F/4G lens. I found a second hand one in good shape. Any advice from users of that lens would be helpful. I know they are heavy but can they be used hand held some?A new 5.6 PF is more expensive but much lighter. I also found a 500mm F/4 D ii. They...

What are your impressions of the 200-400 VR1 lens? I have seen quite a few reviews and it almost seems like if it was a Nikon sponsored review they are fine but others say they are soft at longer distances. Wonering if anyone here actually has a version 1 and what the pros and cons are. No lens...

I am considering a D5 for my wildlife photography. Also comparing it to a D850. I see a lot of nice pictures on here of wildlife and I am wondering how you get so close to get the good pictures. I now shot with the D500 which being a crop gives me the 1.5 crop factor. Do D5 images crop that...

I have a D7200 and a D500. I shoot wildlife mainly and I am thinking of replacing my D7200. I find the D7200 is not the most accurate focusing camera. I liked it because of the 24mp. I am looking at second hand D850 or D5. I have wanted to try full frame even though I will lose the crop factor...

Hello all. What are your thoughts on upgrading, or adding a D850 to the mix for wildlife photography? I shoot with a D7200 and a D500 now. My main concern is image quality. I know I will lose the reach but I am not a heavy cropper but still have to crop a little sometimes. I have never shot full...

I am wondering about the D4s as a wildlife camera. I have a D500 and have been interested in trying full frame. I know for wildlife the D500 is one of the best cameras for that, partly because of the crop factor. Other than the crop factor are there any reasons that the D4s would be a good...

Has anyone did the upgrade yet? If you have, have you used the Cfexpress cards? Any issues or better yet, have there been any speed/ buffer increases? I expect not from what I have heard, but just wanted some users to tell us their observations. Thanks. P.S. I have not done the upgrade yet but...

A question for some D5 owners. I have seen the speed comparsions of the CF card version D5 cameras and the XQD versions. Everything is happening so fast, I find it hard to tell. But for most people who only shoot a burst of 20 or 30 shots, is there any real speed difference or any other...

Has anyone compared the new Sigma 700-200mm Sport to the older 70-200mm. I have the older version and am wondering if it is that much better. Thanks

I have the D500 and it works quite well. But every once in a while the auto ISO, jacks the ISO up for some reason. I was shooting today and noticed all of a sudden everything was over exposed. I was shooting the same area and within seconds of the normal shots. Then it went back to a normal...

Looks like there are none of the 500mm F5.6 pf lenses in Canada yet. Has anyone in Canada got one yet? They seem to be not available in the USA either... Just wondering what's going on...

I know that primes are sharper than telephoto lenses but is it that big of a difference? I am looking at a 500mm or 600mm prime. They are older as neither has VR. "D" versions I believe. Here is a pic I took with the 150-600mm Sigma. Just wondering how much sharper it could get...... Thanks

Looking at a second hand D800E. The asking price is $1800 Canadian. It has 27000 clicks on it approx. Is that reasonable. Seems close to me, but maybe a little high. I have a D7200 and D500. I do mostly wildlife. I do get the chance to do some "wildlife portrait" shots. Would like to try full...

I am looking into full frame bodies and was wondering what you all think. I do mostly wildlife and bird photography. Some of my shots are close (20feet) but most are further. Right now I have a D7200 and D500. Both help with distance shots. My main 2 lenses are Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 and 150-600mm...
