The Z50ii is now here along with a 50-250 I picked up used from KEH. I have also ordered a fisheye, and ultra wide primes for it from B&H. I do have a Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 that I love but unfortunately it's an older model that is screwdrive AF. Have not checked if it still works in MF in a...

Just used my D850 to take surprise family photos for a friend. They have not had photos with all of them in years. So 3 siblings and their families together and each separate group for the father. Will be given to him for Christmas. D850 chugged away with zero complaints.

I have X-rite i1-Studio I bought 9 years ago. I just set up first new desktop in probably 15 years. And decided to do the monitors. I had to update the software for $70 but even with my older calibrator it worked just fine. Quite happy I could just update software vs. buying whole new set up...

It's more for the smaller camera than the crop factor. I have the Z8 gripped and that will probably stay on for a while. The wife has taken the z5ii so the z50ii will be my 2nd z body.

Just ordered a Z50ii and 16-50 kit lens refurbished from NikonUsa. $791 for the pair. I would have just gone with body only but it and the 2 kit lens package sold out. I plan to pair with my 180-600 for a little extra reach. I do have a Z 2x TC but not the 1.4x yet. But this refurb package...

Welcome. Though I bought 2 Z cameras recently, I am still using my dslr's including the D850. Great camera.

I have the MB-N12 but never tried to charge batteries from the camera. But I suspect it's because there is no longer a battery in the camera, they are both in the grip. If the bank does charge the batteries in the grip then I would say all is well. Just have to use that port. I do know the...

I can't speak for the D750 and 150-600 but I can speak about the older Sigma 150-500 on several DSLR bodies I have (recently added D7500).. I have used the Sigma on D600, D800, D850, and D7500 now. But I believe my lens focuses a little slower than it should. I had to send it in under...

Start slow. Watch some videos on youtube about the exposure triangle. That is the best place to start. Then some videos on Raw and Jpeg the difference between them and why you would want one over the other. Maybe even watch some videos on your camera to get to know it better. Probably...

Welcome. Congrats on the new equipment. Your not old till you grunt picking it or putting it back down. ;) But if you need to just don't grunt. That's a dead giveaway. :)

There are small sprays like Howies hockey Anti-Fog visor spray for about $10 on amazon.

Does the viewfinder work? I have a coolpix 8700 and luckily it is still working. The 5700 is only worth about $35-60 used. For less than having a used screen replaced in it, you can get a newer one for not much money now a days. You can get a quality bridge type camera that's probably 10...

Yea, I knew it was neutered some. And found out about no grip ( I'm a grip guy). But it's still a good camera. But I did get mine for way lower than it's original selling price.

All the older DSLR's still takes a good picture. Nothing has changed from 15 or even 20 years, except more advancements in the technology. But if they took good shots then, so can they now. I just took a D7500 on my recent work trip. But the D3300 may yet to get out, and it's so compact and...

What was the failing of the D500 and D7500? I just picked up a refurb D7500 for $500 from Nikon. Took it on my just finished work trip. And was looking at trying to get a D500 as well. I have D850, 800, 600, and Z8, 5II now, along with others. Just wondering why you like the 7200 better.
