    First out with my new D7500

    A barred owl from late today. A few branches but this is common with perched owls. Overall the D7500 is quite similar to my D7200 as far as image quality goes, the faster FPS is nice and oddly it feels slightly heavier but not by much. It may be the position of the camera strap eyelets. Feels...

    Question relatd to back button focus

    I will be setting up back button focus on my new D7500 and was wondering if there is a fast way to go from back button focus to shutter focus without going into the menu. Normally just use the shutter button but after watching a video by Steve Perry I think I am going to give it try.

    Nikon Repair Question

    I am considering sending in my D7200 for repair after a recent short drop and using it as a backup for travel to my D7500 instead of buying a new second body. When you send it it does Nikon fix anything they find wrong and clean the sensor etc, or just the issue, In my case the screen is totally...

    Looking to buy a used Nikon D500

    Since the D500 is now discontinued my hunt is on for a used D500. I live in Canada and have been looking online, their are some available on kijiji but to me this is not my preferred route. Normally I would only buy camera gear from a photo store not an electronics store. Would it be reasonable...

    D500 Custom Setting Menu

    Autofocus - A1 AF-C priority selection - release - Focus + release - Release + focus - Focus. My question is which of these settings do most bird photograhers set their to. I currently have a D7200 and use Focus for both AF-C & AF-S priority selection. After watching a few videos on the D500...

    Nikon FZ50 Adapter Use

    Does anyone on the forum shoot with the Nikon FZ50 and adapter with the Nikon AF-S 80-400MM F/4.5-5.6G ED VR. Curious how this lense would perform in comparison to using it on a D7200.

    New Camera Setup Purchase

    I have been using a Nikon D7200 paired with the Nikon AF-S 80-400MM F/4.5-5.6G ED VR for a few years and have had good results. Sadly (this is the short version of the story) it got dropped and now the LCD screen is mega bright and cannot be adjusted. I can see the menus barely when holding...

    Custom Setting Menu - A Autofocus A7

    Great help and info with all the posts. The video was a good learning tool for me. I shot these 2 pics of a Barred Owl today handheld with 11 Focus Points set on AF-S, I think I am getting the handle on flight shots finally. Just uploaded some smaller pics around 800 x 600 approx.

    Custom Setting Menu - A Autofocus A7

    Under A7 you have a choice between 11 or 51 points, any big difference which one to use for shooting in P Mode for birding. Maybe a quick explanation on it would be helpful as the manual doesn't have much other than a brief note.
