    D7200 faster FPS

    I may be old, but it gives a good idea of what the difference in card speeds will do for the D7200. From a quick perusal it looks to me like fps won't be affected by card speed until the internal buffer is full. My Z5 will only shoot at 4.5 fps, but the internal buffer will hold 100 frames...

    Baby Z9?

    Yes, I've even thought about a decent crop frame DSLR. I currently own a D3400, but have a tough time going back to the optical viewfinder and only 11 AF points and lack of IBIS. I can live with the limitations of a 24MP sensor. It isn't that big a difference from my full frame IMO. I've...

    Baby Z9?

    Yes, the rumors of the Z8 have been going around for a while, and it's still no show, although it's out of my price range. I would love to know what kind of price this is going to be sold for. They compare it to the Canon EOS R7 which has an MSRP of $1399. If the Z90 comes out with the rumored...

    Baby Z9?

    Well the rumor mill is active with a new camera possibly coming out later this year. The name hasn't been officially announced, but word on the street is it will be called the Z90. It is rumored to be a half frame sensor, but coming in with a 33MP resolution. It will supposed sport a 15 fps...

    D7200 faster FPS

    DPreview lists an increase in FPS on the specs for the D700 when using the battery grip. In their extensive specs list for the D7200 it only lists 6 FPS. This leads me to believe that it doesn't. A call to Nikon CS should give the definitive answer. DPreview D7200 DPrevie D700

    Trip to the Francis Beidler Forest

    I went back and looked at some and decided I probably should at least tone down the eye exposure. Here is an example. This is how I originally edited the eyes. Looks about right for most birds. Here is what I re edited to in order to bring a more natural look, but still retain some detail...

    Trip to the Francis Beidler Forest

    Quick question about the first photo. When processing I masked the eye and brought up the exposure to get detail. This has become almost a standard with bird pictures for me. In fact I ended up doing a second radial mask to bring the pupil back to dark as reflections came up with the exposure...

    Trip to the Francis Beidler Forest

    I made a trip to a local Audubon sanctuary yesterday for the first time in over a year. The Pup and I have visited there several times over the last few years. Normally we have gone in late fall, winter without getting a lot of decent photos. I decided to try it during spring, as the...

    These prothonotary warblers are relatively rare in our area. There were quite a few nesting in the Francis Beidler Forest. This is an Audubon sanctuary nearby that has quite a bit of boardwalks over a Tupelo, Cypress swamp. I've been several times over the last several years, and this the most...

    Friendly reminder, take your gear

    I did bum the Pup's 5600 with 70-300 and took a few at effective 450mm. Just wish I'd had my 200-500 with me.

    Friendly reminder, take your gear

    The Pup and I got up early and made it down to a state park on the ocean. Got some good laughing gull pictures, and then decided to stop by the boneyard beach on the way back. I decided not to bring all my gear with me, since I would just be taking pictures of the trees in the surf. Near the end...

    Z8 coming soon???

    Lots of rumors out there. Latest I am seeing is an announcement later this week, 26 Apr. Most rumors say it will have the same sensor as the Z9 at 45.7 MP. It is also supposed to be about the same form as the current Z6 or Z7. Pricing estimated at somewhere under the $4K mark and shipping...

    I am planning to buy my first camera

    Another important piece pf information is your budget. While the top of the line flagship camera bodies may have a lot of capabilities and ruggedness, they are not always the best fit for every photographer, regardless of the capability of their wallet. Are you a technically oriented person...
