I didn't mention the 180-600, because of the weight. I have one and love it, but it's heavy. I didn't mention the OM, because, well I'm a Nikon guy, and know (sort of) Nikons, but I don't know much about Olympus, other than it's micro 4/3. Everybody makes good cameras these days. Some are...

If you want reach without a large, heavy camera, you might consider something like the P1100. It is a non interchangeable lens camera with an amazing integral zoom lens. It is has a 16MP sensor, but that should be plenty for most applications, especially since it has a full frame equivalent of...

At this point, most F mount lenses will need to be purchased used, as Nikon has decreased their available new F mount lenses down to just a handful. Some lenses that have been dropped by Nikon are still new in stock at some camera stores, but those stocks are dwindling. The good news is that...

I'm calling BS on this one. It's subtle, but the color temperature just doesn't match between the moon, and the Hogwart's student.

Firmware 3.12 has been released and is available for download. Somehow I managed to miss the 3.11 update.

After Walter Koenig passed earlier this week, now we just lost Patrick Stewart.

It was a rather dry month for me, photography wise.

I used a 200-500 with an FTZ on a Z5, Z7ii and Z8. I never had any issues with autofocus, other than poor AF on the Z7ii with birds in flight. That was the camera, not the lens. I upgraded to the 180-600 nearly a year ago. I found that AF was a little better, but not by much. My advice, for what...

Yes, you will lose a full stop with the teleconverter. Let's break this down and compare it with another option. Current Nikon prices, new Note: some of these items are on sale. Z100-400 F4/5.6 $2700 1.4 x teleconverter $590 Total = $3290 Max focal length 560mm @ F8 total weight 58.4 oz Z...

If by outdoors, you mean wildlife, or sports, then the 6iii would be the obvious choice. Yes, it's a little more expensive than the D780, but it also has a lot more to offer. Significantly better AF is one of the main advantages. The 6iii has great object detection, including bird detection...

Welcome. A lot depends on your interest, style, expectations and pocketbook. First off, does the D5000 meet your needs and expectations? The current lineup of Nikon cameras start at 21 MP and go as high as 46 MP in resolution. The 12 MP of your current camera is sufficient for many tasks, but...

Welcome. What Nikon did you get? Inquiring minds and all.
