A quick check says the D7500 + 80-400mm VR rig weighs 5+ pounds. I'd suggest considering either the Sony Cyber-shot RX10 IV or new Mk V that are about half of that weight. Generally speaking, they both have a 1" 20.1MP sensor and a fixed lens with an equivalent focal length range of 24 to...

The article may be incorrect. Your attribution of its conclusion to me is incorrect.

The lenses currently in my D3400 gear bag. AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8G AF-P DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR AF-S DX 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED VR II Another inexpensive but quite good prime lens is a YONGNUO YN35mm F2N. It's a full frame auto focus lens, essentially a 50mm on an D3400.

Interesting post. I was given a used D3300 by a friend. It had a shutter count around 3,900. It would not recognize an AF-P 18-55mm VR lens. A quick check revealed that the firmware version was V1.0. When I looked at the available updates on Nikon's website, I found v1.01 allowed the camera to...

I bought a D7200 (shutter count a bit over 10K) about a month ago. I had considered a D7100 but decided on the D7200 because of the deeper buffer. I noticed that a unique feature of the D7200 is a 1.3x image crop that will up the burst rate from 6 fps to 7fps. I was curious about what the...

FWIW, I shoot a Z6iii with the Z AF 28-400mm f/4-8 lens. I'm quite pleased with the results.

A couple of shots from different era cameras. Z50ii D7200 (experimenting with 1.3x crop mode to get a higher burst rate)

Interesting comment. At that price, I'd expect top notch performance.
