Hi and welcome. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any member who has both a z6 and a D750. @Danno has the z6 along with a D700 so hopefully he can help shed some light on your questions. I have a D750 which is an absolutely amazing camera. One of its benefits is having 2 card slots...

Question for those who back up files onto a hard drive - do you leave the hard drive attached to the computer, or do you remove it every time you are finished backing up? In the past I've used smaller portable drives but now have a 5TB drive (and know I should still back up to multiple devices)...

I have this lens, BF Hammer. It is quite sharp. Not only were the first and last images taken at 200mm, all of these images were heavily cropped from the originals - and all taken with a D750. As with any lens, there are going to be slight differences in how one performs vs. an identical copy...

B&H has the Sirui W-1004 Waterproof Aluminum Tripod on sale today only - $99.99. Has a decent load capacity at 33 pounds (15kg). No firsthand experience with this although I have one of their carbon fiber monopods which is nice...

What about the Nikon 70-200mm f/4 VR? You can add the optional tripod collar which helps balance the weight. It isn't nearly as heavy as the 70-200mm f/2.8 VR. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/897230-REG/Nikon_2202_NIKKOR_AF_S_70_200mm_f_4_0G.html

Roy, I saved your photo and will upload it from my computer. The EXIF is definitely attached to the file. Let's see if it displays correctly for me. If it does, then it has to be something on your end. The only difference is I changed the file name to Roy Raptor so I could find it quickly.

I tend to watch Comcast Xfinity streaming (internet streaming provider) rather than watching TV. Since I use Chrome, I always have to go in and Allow Flash to run. When I did that just now, this is the prompt I received. Are you using Chrome as your browser, Roy? If so, maybe try Firefox and see...

Ugh. I use the +/- button on the top to increase/decrease exposure, but that requires the use of the rear dial. I don't know if there is any way to reprogram the EV compensation to use the front dial instead of the rear. If it's possible, hopefully either @FredKingston or @nickt can explain how...

I'm going to see what happens when I attempt to insert two of your photos here. This first one is being inserting simply by copying and pasting the original URL into the insert image from URL option. And when previewing my post, it appears to be fine. This next image I saved to my hard drive...

I downloaded your photos then added them into your quote in hopes the EXIF data will display. With the first one, ISO 4000 is kind of high for that body and am assuming it was shot in somewhat low light. And for all bird photos, you really should aim to stop down further than f/4. With a...

Here are two more Red-Tailed Hawk photos from today. The first one reminds me more of an owl pose than a hawk pose with its head so far to the side.

Juvenile Bald Eagle

As @nickt mentioned, the usual answer is to put the money into glass - plus his thoughts about being able to use older AF-D glass (lenses without focus motors) opens up a greater choice for preowned gear. But with your two options, I too feel a D500 would work well for you. Just being able to...

I know you mentioned you will be using a tripod. The difference in weight looks to be 6.8 pounds for the f/4 vs. 3.2 pounds for the f/5.6. If you would ever handhold the f/4, that extra stop of light won't factor in simply because you'd have to use a faster shutter speed to compensate for the...

Peter, here are a few edited images from today with this combo. My TC is the TC 14E ii which I might have mentioned previously. I use shake reduction in Photoshop because I had elbow surgery and am not the best with holding a non-VR lens steady. All of these are cropped quite a bit - vertical...

Reverting back to my 300mm f/4 non-VR lens coupled with my Nikon 1.4x TC. Substantial crops with a little bit of Photoshop's Shake Reduction applied.

I use MagMod modifiers, too. Perhaps they'd work similarly as though mounting the modifiers on a flash - although I haven't seen any MagMod in use with the extension head. Here is a B&H image of the extension head on a light stand (might be a different clamp than the one I asked about to attach...
