    Three weeks with Z50ii

    I'd been using Z50 as my second camera for 2 years and sold it to a friend of mine last summer. Now I have Z50ii for three weeks and like it even more than the original version, especially the AF. I'm still learning the new features and the new items in the menu. One different thing from the old...

    I really like Z5+24-70 f4 combo

    I like this combo better than my old D750+24-85mm

    Z5 in low light

    The attached photos were taken with auto ISO at 12800, and with 24-70 f4 S lens. The focus was instantaneous and no visible noise in the dark areas.

    No forum for Z5?

    I wonder why there's no forum for Nikon Z5? - not enough interest or owners? - Z5 is very similar to Z6?

    What's your second camera?

    As most of us here, my D750 is the main workhorse. But there are situations when I want to leave the D750 home and take a smaller camera with me, in this case the Coolpix A. Coolpix A has APS-C sensor, no AA filter, and a good fixed lens optimized for that particular camera. I'm happy with its...

    Perspective Distortion???

    This is the picture of my Christmas Tree (HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!) It's taken with D750 and 16-35mm f/4 lens, focused on the left side of the tree, which is couple of feet in front of the fireplace. As you can see the top and bottom of the mantel are not horizontal. I wonder how to fix this...

    What do you want for D760???

    Nikon may replace D750 with a new model in 2017. This forum has a good number of D750 users, thus it'd be interesting to know what the D750 users want for the next model. Please list the features you'd like to have on D760 and whether you may want to upgrade. Thanks.

    Testing the Tamron 35mm f/1.8

    I wanted to buy the Tamron SP 35mm f/1.8 VC. After reading all the reviews and found a good sale price I went to the local store to check it out on my D750. I brought along my lens Nikon 16-35mm f/4 and expected the Tamron would beat it up. I took 2 photos of the same thing in the store with the...

    Exposure Compensation Test

    I took 7 pictures of the same thing with my D750 in the manual mode "M" and fixed ISO (and in RAW). The only difference was the exposure compensation, which was set at -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, and +3 in that order. I expected to see the darkest picture with exposure compensation -3 and the...

    First ERR message on D750

    I shot about 300 photos yesterday successfully at a tennis tournament (setup: S=1/1000, A=f/4, ISO=3200 with AFC & d9). Today I have the same setup for shooting another tennis game and I got the Err message on the very first shot. I turned the cam off and on for couple of times, replaced the...

    D750 Against the Top Guys

    Based on the DPreview's studio test scene for the usable high ISO range from 6400 to 25600 I think D750 is up there with the top guys, if not better (see attached photos).

    Crop or DX mode or Converter

    I'm bring this up for discussion. Please comment on pros and cons for different ways to increase the "reach": cropping in the post, using DX mode from the menu, or using a converter? Thanks.

    AF Tracking Settings for Airshow

    I'm going to an airshow this evening with my D750 and 70-200 f/4 (probably not enough reach, will require heavy cropping in the post). Any recommendations on the settings? I'm thinking BBF, AF-C, 9-point dynamic area AF, S-mode with 1/1000s or 1/1500s.

    Performance improvements with firmware for D750

    I like the Fuji's practice of continuously upgrading the firmware to improve their cameras' performance. I think Nikon should do the same thing. Perhaps this forum can start some kind of campaign to make this happen. The first thing I have in mind is the HDR capability whenever JPG is the chosen...

    D750 and Sigma Art 24-105mm f/4

    I'm planning to buy a walk-around lens and Sigma 24-105mm is on my shortlist. My only concern is the AF speed and accuracy. Sigma has to reverse engineer the AF on Nikon cameras and since D750 is a new camera, its AF capability may not be 100% compatible with this 2-yr-old lens. Perhaps a Sigma...

    How were the affected D750 serviced?

    I wonder if anyone knows how the affected D750 were serviced? - the protruded part of the AF was covered somehow? or - the position of the AF module was adjusted? or - the AF module was replaced with a different one? Thanks.
