I just bought a used ("like new") Nikon SB-700 flash for my D-7500. When reading the manual, it mentions a Nikon diffuser dome, which was not included. We have a grandson who just turned 1, and we have only been able to visit twice because of distance and COVID. On the last trip, I used the...

(Disclaimer: I am a recreational photographer, and realize my photos are not "professional grade". ) I have been experimenting with the built-in HDR in my D-7500. I'm gradually getting the hang of it, and even saved it as my U1 User Setting so I can access it quickly. Some of the shots have...

My wife and I are looking for travel suggestions. We both retired in 2019, and live in West Virginia (USA). Luckily, we were able to do our dream trip in September 2019 – a 6,500-mile loop to the southwest including 19 states, 7 national parks, and several state parks...

I ordered my new D7500 and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. Shopping for extra batteries, I found a RAVPower package with 2 batteries and charger for $34.99. That's cheaper than just one OEM battery...

Greetings! I am retired military and a long-time hobbyist/amateur photographer. I am in a real quandary about buying a new camera and would appreciate your advice. I do a mix of travel, landscape, and occasional action like air shows and wildlife. Except for a few family snapshots, 99% of...

Greetings! I sold my D7200 last year because of weight issues (two shoulder and one elbow surgeries on my right side) and have been using my wife's D3100. Very pleased about 90% of the time, which is pretty good for a cranky old man. Haha! However, it seems like I have been having a problem...

(NOTE: I posted this over on a car forum I participate in, but was curious to see what responses I got over here) As a kid growing up in the 60s, I was witness to some of the greatest (read: "Coolest!") cars ever made. You could tell a Chevy from a Ford from a Dodge from a mile away. Imports...

I am just a hobbyist photographer on a limited budget. A few years ago, I saved to buy a D-7200 as a retirement gift to myself. I love the camera, even though I'm still struggling to learn all the bells and whistles. One of my two lenses is a Nikkor AF-S 55-300mm 1:4.5-5.6 G ED. However, when...

I woke up this morning to a world with a big empty spot in it. I'm 62 and have had many friends throughout my life in the military and traveling the world. As we all know, most friends come and go at various times. Of the hundreds of friends I made in my life, I still hear from maybe a half...

As 99% of the world's population is acutely aware, COVID-19 has become the dominant force shaping our lives in the past month. TV news reports have stirred fears to the point of panic (toilet paper???!!!) and for older people who don't get out of their homes often and rely on TV/Social Media...

Greetings. I am a hobbyist photographer and retired from the US Air Force. I bought a D7200 two years ago and am just getting it out and learning all the functions and settings. (I spent last year taking care of my mother before she passed and didn't have much time to use it.) My wife and I...

I purchased a new D7200 2 years ago and love it. I didn't get to use it much the first year as I was taking care of my mother before she passed. Last summer, I was on the road in Indiana and stayed overnight in a B&B. The owner had the A/C cranked up and it was cold in the house. It felt...

My wife just joined me in the "Retired" ranks, and we both like to travel and explore outdoors. I have been a hobbyist photographer (cheap therapy!) for 30+years, currently using a D-7200. She has expressed interest in getting a camera and doing photo trips with me. Up until now, she only took...

Just found out "Gunny" (Gunnery Sergeant of the United States Marine Corps) R. Lee Ermey passed away yesterday morning. You may remember him as the ferocious and feared drill sergeant in "Full Metal Jacket". Or, on "Mail Call". I had the honor of meeting him a few years ago. When he found...

Greetings. I'm still working my way through the D7200 book and owner's manual, and thought I had this figured out, but I was wrong. Here's what I would like to do: In "P" setting, I got everything set up to do a 5-shot bracket +-0.7 each shot, on a Self-Timer of 5 seconds (to eliminate...

SD Card - Help Please! Noob keeps getting "Card Err" messages on D7200 After 10 years of digital point and shoots, I decided to get back into "serious hobby" photography (had a 8008s years ago) and bought a D7200 last month. Love it. However, from the first day, I have been getting "Card Err"...

Greetings to all! I am a professional musician (pianist - Bachelor and Master of Music degrees from West Virginia University and a retired pianist in the US Air Force Bands). I first became interesting in moving beyond the "snapshot" level when our son was born while I was stationed in Alaska...
