I know. I really hated spending $2K on another camera. I thought I might use it with an SD card for a while, since the CFexpress cards are around $100, and often more. In the end I decided, I have the money so there is no need to go without something I will be getting anyway, and during that...

No, but it's supposed to be on the truck. At least I know it's in town. That was one bonus. I knew I could use my Z5 backup battery as the backup for the Z7ii. I'm also starting to think about transferring images from the camera. I've been just pulling the SD from my Z5 and plugging it into my...

Well, it was supposed to have left Charlotte at 2:15 this morning. Now they have it arriving at Charlotte at 7:00 tonight, and to be delivered tomorrow between noon and 4. Looks like another day of hanging around the house.

I ordered the Z7ii a couple days ago, and it's supposed to arrive today. I say, supposed to, the tracking says it is going to be delivered today, but It's nearly 3:00 and it still isn't listed as out for delivery. I wouldn't mind it so much, except I have to sign for it, and don't particularly...

I agree with Needa. Use the camera and lenses you have for a while and learn what niche you really are interested in. That will lead you to what lenses you will need. As she hinted, there is a danger of buying lenses for the crop sensor DSLR you have now, and then you find that you want to move...

This was an easy challenge for me, as most photo trips in my area involve water in one form or another.

Well, if it works fine in aperture preferred, or shutter preferred, that wouldn't be too bad IMO. Have you tried any of the icon modes, like the mountain icon for landscapes? It will let you set the ISO in these modes, and that might take care of the problem. Or it might not. Worth trying...

Have you tried setting the ISO to a reasonable level like 200? I see that the in the overexposed example you are shooting outdoors, with what looks like bright sun. The rule of thumb for this should be 1/100 of a sec at F16 and ISO 100. This picture is 1/60 of a second at F4 and 3200 ISO. I...

The Pup and I went on another outing with the local Carolinas' Nature Photographers Association yesterday. We went to an impressive botanical garden in Lake City, SC. Lots of flowering, and other plants. They had some interesting artwork as well. I didn't get a lot of flower images, but...

I'm not sure I feel like my Z5 was holding me back, but rather more that the capabilities of the Z7ii would be of use. I've been a little frustrated lately with the AF performance on moving subjects. And of course the extra resolution is most welcome. Let us not forget the new camera smell...

No, I went with the Z7ii. The Z8 is too rich for my blood.

Well, I gave in to temptation today. B&H had their CFexpress Bs on sale for a decent amount off, and that clinched it. Now I just have to bide my time till Wednesday.

Well, I would like to have a Z8, but really can't justify the cost. The only way I see me owning a Z8, is winning the lottery, start making money with my photography, or my wife running off with the pool boy. I don't play the lottery, currently don't sell any of my pictures, and I don't own a...

Well, Nikon has the Z7ii on sale right now for $2K. That's around a grand off. I know one reason it's likely to be so deeply discounted is getting ready for the Z7iii, rumored to be coming out later this year. I'm wondering if I should jump on this now, or hold on for either a Z7iii, or possibly...

I wish you hadn't posted this. The Z7ii is $2K. Must resist. Must resist. Must resist.

They do have an annual contest, although to be honest, the talent I see in our local club alone would make for some stiff competition. I don't believe they give any feedback, in the contest, however. The rules are pretty strict about what is allowed, as far as subject, editing, etc. My daughter...

Wow, lots and lots of gators at Magnolia this morning. As well as other reptiles. And even smaller stuff.

I doubt you'll get an answer back from the Original Poster. This thread is from 2018, and the OP hasn't posted anything since. If you don't get an answer from someone else in this thread, you might try starting a new thread of your own. If you downloaded a previous firmware version on your...
