    Date stamp

    The Z5 doesn't have that feature... there is software that will let you add some/much/any of the EXIF data to the images in post-process... essentially doing what that feature should do...

    Problem with my WiFi adaptability.

    Mike... I've been in IT for over 50 years... IMO, Nikon's implementation of Wifi across all their product lines is absolute garbage...

    Extra Lenses

    @CountryLover957 If you're gonna "replace" anything, you should be saving your pennies to replace that D50.

    Is USB Dock a must for Sigma 150-600C + FTZ + z6ii?

    If it's your intention to "calibrate" your lenses to that camera body... Rather than spend the $48/used to $60/new for that USB dock, I think I'd opt for the $100 for Focal Pro's software that will calibrate ALL your lenses with all your cameras...

    D850...I have a D500

    Not to belabor the point, but that's not really an issue, as there are several lossless compressed modes of RAW settings for the D850

    Is being closed down by Amazon, as part of their lay-offs... We might see a slight increase in new folks as all their forums closed down and those folks look for a new place to go...

    P950 Battery Charger MH-29 Discontinued!

    It looks like they combined a bunch of different version chargers because of the different (similar) batteries... I think you're getting over-excited about a non-issue... Nikon isn't making a lot of money...and they've been discontinuing items that don't sell for years along with other...

    Computer upgrade for LR and possibly Topaz

    All that investment and you're still resisting LR's $9.99/month for the current LR???? I guarantee the masking alone is worth the price...

    Topaz Denoise, Sharpen and Gigapixel

    Sharpen, Denoise and Gigapixel are refined tools... They're not full-blown Editors... They use a plugin to move between LR and the apps. If all you want to do is Denoise, or Sharpen, they're also stand-alone programs... You still need an editor to do other things... Yes, they work on Jpeg...

    Center-weighted metering options?

    Exactly... College level photography has shifted entirely to "Just get the shot... and get the composition in the frame...We can fix everything else in post. Don't worry about the mechanics."

    Center-weighted metering options?

    Like I said... Perry says there's too much variation between cameras/makers etc... and you have to rely on YOUR camera's manuals and your own experiences. Then we can also get into a discussion regarding the advances in post processing software and its ability to tone/color, dodge and burn...

    Center-weighted metering options?

    Steve Perry of Backcountry Safari explains this well in his book and videos... He basically states that the metering methods are different in each iteration and you need to refer to your specific camera's manual for the exact info...but center-weighted metering is tied to the auto-focus points...
