I installed a debian package called "rapid-photo-downloader" and that works. There are probably other ways to do it.

Hi My daughter has a D700. I already had to replace the card slot board because she snapped a pin in the card slot putting the card in and out, so I told her to just use a USB cable to copy her photos and leave the memory card alone. The USB cable works fine in Windows, but, I can't get it to...

I just gave it a try. Setting the AF-ON button to AF-ON (the default) seems to cause the focusing system to operator constantly as if the shutter is half pressed, so keeping it pressed and then pressing the shutter button makes no difference because it's already continuously focusing. Setting...

Wow, what a fantastic response, thank you! So concerning the AF-ON button, it says if AF-ON only is selected.... so, does that mean that if AF-ON only is not selected, then the button does nothing?

Hi I just got a D780 and there are some things I don't understand. 1. AF-ON button. In the online manual it describes that the AF-ON button can be reassigned, and I notice that the default customisation is as "AF-ON". What does this actually mean? I set it to AE/AF lock and got that working...

Quite a lot of peoples replies are slightly annoying. I didn't ask whether Z mount lenses are better or sharper than F mount. I didn't ask whether I should adapt F mount to Z body or not. I didn't ask whether F mount lenses are good or not. The question is quite specific and it's about...

If Nikon wants us to use F mount lenses but only manually focus them maybe they should implement a split prism viewfinder in software.

So if you all think that F mount lenses are so rubbish then why did Nikon make an FTZ adapter at all?

I'm still annoyed that Nikon hasn't made an FTZ with a focus motor to drive the screw drive on AF/AF-D lenses. It's one of the road blocks that's stopping me going from an F mount body to a Z mount. I found out yesterday that there is a Megadap adapter (MTZ11) that converts Leica M to Z, and it...

Just some trees at the end of my road shot with the cheap 24-85 VR DSC_5621 by dieselnutjob, on Flickr

well I went a bit rogue on you folks. I noticed that the 24-85mm f3.5-4.5 VR is getting really cheap now. So I bought one on MPB as I can return it if I don't like it. I like it. So I always considered the D3100 to be quite a small camera. Here's the D750 vs the D3100:- 20231124_092039 by...

the ones from Kew Gardens are straight from the camera, I haven't edited them in any way. It's nice that the D750 jpegs can be so nice straight from the camera.

My original question was about a £200 to £300 camera. I'm simply not going to spend £2000 on a Z6ii combo. My "dream" camera right now is the ZF, but a dream is what it is. I had a lot of fun with the D750 with a couple of small primes in my pocket, and, it is a lot more portable. Not bad is...

There's some interesting points in your answers thanks. I hadn't really considered a Z50. Maybe I should. Compared to a D7200 I'll get what one or two stops better performance in low light? and a bigger viewfinder. The Z24-70 sounds interesting too. I went out this evening to a "light show"...

I compared a ZF with Z mount 24-120 F4 with my D750. It was exactly the same size. I would need £3000 to buy that rig. I really, really like the ZF, but I can't afford it, and it's no smaller. Having played with a ZF I'm not really interested in a Z5 or Z6.
