    Topaz DeNoise AI- Magenta image

    I don't know where you found that, Fred, although I'm not saying you're wrong. They must be releasing conflicting information. :confused: This is what I found...

    That IS a nice bird, @canuck257 - I don't recall ever having seen one in person. Bet you are loving your 500mm PF! ;) Nicely done.

    Amazon Chase 0% Financing Offer

    Curious if anyone else received the 0% financing offer when using the Amazon Chase card. At first I wondered if it was from another party, but it was legitimately sent by Chase. They are offering 0% financing for 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, and 48 months. They sell Nikon gear and a lot of...

    SD or XQD

    This comes from the link that Fred posted. Lexar tested some of their own cards. I have no idea whether a different brand of SD card would perform better than a Lexar SD card.

    Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 VR on sale

    The Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 VR is on sale at B&H for $1596.95 - and possibly it is on sale elsewhere. Not a bad price since it is the VR model. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1175033-REG/nikon_af_s_nikkor_24_70mm_f_2_8e.html The non-VR model (the older version) is also on sale for...

    Goslings. Now as they are getting older, their color is mostly brown.

    Post your favorite April 2020 shot

    I have two favorites for different reasons. This one kind of fell into my lap. Initially I was parked across the parking lot and saw people stopping holding their cell phones out car windows. When I drove over, I saw this red-tailed hawk. Fortunately I had my camera with me. The following...

    June 2020 Theme: Two Options for Choices

    "Low to the Ground Perspective OR Food/Beverage(s)" After a great deal of consideration, I decided to go with two very different topics from the link that @nikonpup posted. 1. Low to the Ground means you are taking the photo from a low vantage point. You can handhold the camera, use a tripod...

    Post your latest purchases.

    I decided to add two longer stripboxes - am staying with the Glow EZ Lock brand. After looking up the price on Amazon (using camelcamelcamel.com), the price of $75 each wasn't too bad. Purchased directly thru Adorama though. The regular price is $90 each. The nice thing is they not only include...

    Post your flag shots

    In remembrance of those who gave it all, teaching The Child the importance of Memorial Day in the USA. It is the way. Thank you to all who serve! (For the record, took my own flag with me because I wasn't going to touch one on display!)

    May 2020 Theme: Floral Creativity

    Floral Creativity #1 This was all created from one image. I duplicated the layer and applied the Twirling technique that @BackdoorArts introduced to the forum a few years ago. I also applied a Drop Shadow to the masked portion of the flowers layer. If anyone ever does that (applies a layer...

    flash sync with remote

    As @FredKingston mentioned, Nikon's CLS operates completely different. You might need to buy a Nikon commander flash as what I'm reading indicates the D5000 doesn't support CLS. No additional receiver is required providing you are using a Nikon made flash that supports CLS (which your SB-700...

    Hark 2020

    Still not seeing much unusual wildlife around the area. These are from our back yard. Note: the pole is crooked. One of these days I'll remove both the pole and feeder and replace with a new combo. The birds don't seem to mind. In fact, some of the larger birds such as pigeons seem to enjoy this. ;)

    Choices, choices

    I don't have any mirrorless bodies. Maybe @BackdoorArts can give you an idea of other non-Nikon bodies. Since the Z7 is full frame and you aren't shooting mainly wildlife or sports, the full-frame aspect should fit the bill nicely.

    upgrades

    As long as you are aware, that's fine. My D7200 grip has contacts that attach to contacts on the bottom of the camera body which allows an exchange of information. Like @Danno said, if you are looking to shoot fast moving subjects such as birds, wildlife, or sports, the D500 would be the better...
