A lot of things has happened since this tread started 14 years ago, but one thing remains, Eneloop is still a very good choice. There's however a twist, the Eneloop is manufactured by Panasonic, the only factory in Japan that makes rechargeable AA batteries. They also makes the LADDA batteries...

The main problem with USB-c is that the EU has only standardized the physical format, not the electrical. There are three main groups of USB-c for the electrical versions, which in turn each have some subgroups. Originally, USB was at 5V and 0.5A to 1A. With 3A you can't get more than 15W out...

If you use the Z 105mm lens, each step in focus stepping is a very short distance. Different lenses moves the focus point differently far. That is, if you move the focus one step on a Z 24-200mm lens, you have to move the focus 4 steps on the Z 105mm lens to get just as far. So there is a trial...

With the Z6iii, no battery charger is supplied, according to new EU rules. So I tried to comply with EU and charge my camera via USB. It turns out it only work when the cable is a USBc <-> USBc and that is supplied with the camera. But the cable is only 60 cm so I had to buy a longer cable. Then...

Since I'm a kind of geek, I have to try all new stuff, regardless if I need it or not. But on the other hand, you don't know if you need it if you never try it! The Z6iii has pixel shift, which was a hype when it came on other cameras but now almost nobody talks about it. It may have its...

Taking photos on the beach seems to be popular. These two pictures are from Thailand, taken 15 min apart. It's the same family, gearing up from one camera stand to two and a chair for the director (?) while his assistent is managing the iPhone. 😁 🌴 🎬

Is that the Famous Grouse?

I can highly recommend Z 24-120 mm f4 if you are going full frame. I have had 24-70mm f4 and 24-200mm f4-6,3 and was not quite satisfied with them. The 24-120 mm is very sharp all the way out in the corners. It is however heavy and bulky, not the lens that you have on the camera that you put in...

As it appears, it's only advertised to Z6iii, not any other Z's.

NX Studio, the free photo editing software for Nikon files, can be used to do an edit, save the edit parameters to a file and then load it into the Z6iii so it can be used as a preediting adjustment when taking the photos. That will save time since adjustments are made when the picture is taken...

I think I have seen that Z6ii claims 6 stop for IBIS, and 8 stops for Z6iii, but I', not sure. About Z8 I don't know. How good IBIS works also depends if the lens has VR. I once tried my old 200mm F-lens on my Z6 and that didn't work out well, probably because I didn't know at the time, that I...

Just found out that a part of the rattling is not only the IBIS locking up, but also the automatic cleaning that is set to ON default. It's a little bit confusing however, in the menu it says "Automatic cleaning -> OFF" as default, meaning that you DO clean the sensor when you turn the camera...

Well, not a type of review that you find on Youtube, there are already too many explaining the same thing. I will try to write about some of the things that I have noticed, that is not mentioned on the tube. Sometimes a little bit quirky, sometimes good. I'm only a photographer, I'm not doing...

After five weeks of waiting, I finally got my Z6iii and have made some shooting with flash. I use an SB-500 as a Master in a CLS-system and SB-700 and SB910 as remote flash and it works fine. I can use the SB 700 (or the SB910) mounted on the camera but not as a master flash. Sometimes, when I...

Sometimes in the 1960's, one of my first pictures, probably with an Agfa camera 35mm film. From the harbor in the village I grew up. Fish market. Winter time.
