Things that make you go "WOW!".

Mangoes and poison ivy are both in the same family.

I currently have a copy of Topaz AI that I use for reducing noise and sharpening. I have been happy with Topaz with a caveat. I purchased the 3 individual programs several years ago, and was upgraded to Photo AI during the first year of purchase. I've had trouble with tiling artifacts on many...

Despite being a bit long in the tooth, I was able to lay flat on the ground to get this shot. I love the look of these little mushrooms. They are not uncommon in my area, but I seldom get the chance to photograph them with a pleasing background. I should have hiked back to the car and gotten my...

There was so much activity on the lake. Lots of egrets flying low to the water, picking things up from the surface of the water.

The Pup and I managed to get out to Magnolia. This one was a first for me. Duckpile.

I recently captured the same behavior with great white egrets. They can be pretty tough on their siblings pushing them out of the way to get to the food.

Wifi on eats up battery power as well.

I tried uploading files to my computer from my Z7ii by wifi when I first got it. It worked, but it was slow, slow, slow. Not to mention the hassles of getting it to connect. I got a CF express reader for $20 and it made life so much easier. Maybe the software is better now, but I like the...

Get a card reader for the win. They are cheap, simple, and 99.9% of the time they work without issue.

Full disclosure, I'm primarily a wildlife and macro shooter, so I don't have a lot of experience with street photography, although I have done some in downtown Charleston, which I live near. Compared to the 40mm the 35mm will give you a little wider view, and a little more light gathering...

Great BIFs!

Had a couple visitors to my back yard this afternoon. The light was a bit dim under the canopy, but I've leaned not to worry too much about high ISOs.

I used an FTZ adapter with my Z cameras. I mounted my 200-500 F mount lens with it. I had excellent results using it.

I really wanted a large format camera back in my film days. I could afford the camera and lens, I couldn't afford that and a large format enlarger, so I made do with 35mm and 2 1/4.

Also, keep in mind that while a rental trial will undoubtedly give you much more information than reading specs, it can take a month or two of use to get used to a new camera to the extent that you can give it a fair rating. This is especially true when going to a completely different system...

That 20 fps spits out a lot of images. If you don't mind JPGs, you can go up to 120 fps, which is insane. I have done some pre release capture with the Z8 at 30 fps. Pressing the shutter button for a mere 1/2 second spits out 45 images. The D850 is a beast of a camera. It's big heavy and...

Another option is to buy used. MPB has quite a few in stock for around $165 in "excellent" condition. You might even get a little knocked off the price by trading yours in as a "spares and repairs" lens.
