U is designed as a programmable mode for recalling a saved list of settings and always being able to reliably return to those settings regardless of any temporary changes made while in them. I ...

What I see, if this holds true, is Nikon releasing a new product the first week of November, the second week of November and then likely something the third and possibly the fourth weeks of November.

I like the idea of swapping Auto out with a 4th programmable mode. It’s easy enough if you are handing the camera off to a complete novice to dial in the best AF and exposure modes for the ...

It’s ironic, I followed the guidelines about using longish exposures with tripods and such and my shots of the last lunar eclipse turned out bad. Trashed the guidelines and shot handheld with what...

Exactly. The rubber is a benefit in multiple ways. 1) It significantly makes handling of the hood much quieter as it serves as a dampener of handling noise and also dampens contact noise when it ...

Or perhaps Nikon once listened too much to their consumers, those being their die hard DSLR consumers who scoffed at the movement towards mirrorless camera tech and were pushing Nikon to keep most ...

And actually, switching brands isn’t as expensive as it’s made out to be if you are switching like for like, as in used gear “X” years old for used gear “X” years old at similar price and tech ...

I think the comments here and elsewhere essentially prove the video discussion’s overall point, the point that Nikon is going to release things on their schedule rather than releasing things ...

I ordered one from an authorized dealer I had credit with on the same day, October 20th. I haven’t heard anything and by now they are closed for the weekend. But I have to imagine if NikonUSA has ...

I agree with both points. Haha. 1) If he simply said 45 megapixels is the sweet spot, that’s an indication that nothing more than 45 can be expected this release cycle. 2) The specific time of the ...

You’re not alone in wanting something other than a Z9 for a second body and also wanting something better than Nikon’s current offerings to fill that role. And in addition to improved AF and EVF ...

I waited a year and a half to get the 70-200 S lens. I wish instead it was the first lens I bought when moving into the Z system. Go for it.

Here is the image with the "banding." Mechanical shutter. Natural Light Auto WB. Looking through the shifts I saw in natural light shots, referenced in my post above, I would attribute the color ...

Yes, I have recently noticed the same thing. It first appeared (perhaps because it was most noticeable then) when I was shooting football under stadium lighting. One shot in a burst looked natural ...

Yep. I like the look of the images I can get from my Z 6II. But I shoot more frames than I would like to because the AF will often do (unseen by my eyes) little hunts/adjustments. And frequently ...

If the Z6III only receives a similar set of incremental updates like the R6II got, I won’t be upgrading. If Nikon follows Sony and Canon, I won’t upgrade to a Z 6III. Maybe the mythical Z 8 instead.

I ordered my 1.4X TC 2 weeks ago. It’s much more rare than a Z9 now.

You may be right regarding the buyers of this 600 f/4, not that there’s anything wrong with it. I saw near unanimous support for an internal TC 600 f/4 (regardless of the added $2500 cost) on a ...

Three or four months ago when I was looking and making offers, I saw around three excellent condition US model 500 f/4E lenses go for around or just under $6000 on eBay. The 600 f/4 S looks like a ...

I wanted the 200-600 from day one as well, but I caved and bought the 400 f/4.5. For me, the 400 prime is proving to be a lot more enjoyable to use than constantly zooming out to 400 with the ...
