Welcome to the site. I had a D50 and sold it to one of my sister in laws. Still a capable camera now a days. With the ISO performance basically the limiting factor. You can use absolutely cheap SD cards in it. Do not buy more than 2gb, it will not use SDHC cards (4gb and higher)! Just SD...

Never had a 5xxx series body so not sure if this is a real option but - Perform a Hard Reset: Remove the lens, memory card, and battery. Set the mode dial to M (Manual), leave the camera off for 30 minutes, then reinsert the battery and turn it on. That is different from the two button reset...

Though I have never used a 4/3 camera, I think that is a better idea than the P1100 (I have one). The issue with the P1100 is the sensor not the lens. It's a tiny sensor on it (reason they could get such a range with the lens basically it is the same as a 5x crop camera, the lens is really at...

Welcome to the site. I bought a D7500 a month ago. Enjoy your new equipment.

I chose the Z8 for my first mirrorless and went with the 24-120 f/4 S. Though I now have 2 more mirrorless bodies and well over a dozen lenses now. That 24-120 is still in my main bag!

He admitted he didn't know how to play the Captain nor initially got along with the other crew. His professional training and personal attitude didn't know how to handle the loose "American" actors attitudes on set. And yet you can see his changes in each new episode early on. And admitted he...

Still have mine from years ago. It comes out to play every now and then.

Welcome to the site. As for lighting you can use what you have around the house. With digital cameras you can adjust the white balance to what ever the light source you are using. Just make sure you use the same type of light if using more than one. Now sometimes you can buy used gear for...

Welcome to the board. As for camera in the newer lower cost range there would be the Z50ii or ZFc. Both are crop cameras like your D5000, but much better AF system and processor system. You could use your current lenses with an FTZ adapter. Or buy new Z lenses for better performance. I just...

Welcome. If you'd like, you can send me your new camera outfit and I will give it a good test to make sure it is in working order. :)

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...
