First sale I've seen for the newly released lens, it is $200 off for those who are interested.

Other retailers (B&H , Adorama) are having the sale too.

Edit: Other lenses are on sale too, including the 24-70mm f2.8 s ii. The 50mm f1.8 is going for around $469 currently.

After my last thread asking about camera choices to upgrade from my D5300, I ended up deciding on the D7500. Nikon refurb had them for $499 and the one I got had a shutter count of 4. I'm very pleased with the camera so far! Basically every complaint I had about my D5300 this one solves. Not enough dials for fast control, not enough shortcut keys to change things like auto focus settings or metering, not enough function buttons, etc. The usability is leaps and bounds ahead.

I'm still having a bit of soft focus issue and I can't quite nail focus on things, but I still need to run the fine tune with my lenses and likely could just be my cheap lenses as well but so far I think this camera will be exactly what I was looking for

My family and I had a short city break in Berlin this week, we were limited for space as flying Ryanair, so all the pictures here with my z5 and the 24-70 f4 lens; do wish I’d sacrificed some luggage space for my 180-600 though…

A lot of the animals are behind glass so always a tougher shot, but was pleased overall

Hi Nikoneers,

I just got this lovely AF-S 70-200 VRII for my new setup (D780), and upgraded my strap to the PeakDesign Slide. I was wondering if it’s okay/safe to strap this setup like this, and if not, what is your preference/recommendation. Please note that the lens did not come with the tripod foot.

Thanks for your time. Happy photographing! :)

edit: grammar.

D500+ 70-300mm AFP ( DX)

Hey! I have a Nikon D5100 and want to upgrade.
I’m considering upgrading to a mirrorless body but I’m not entirely sure if I should and what to do. I want something that can handle weather and rain, although not necessarily heavy rainstorms.
I’m so far considering the Z 6ii
I also want at minimum 2 lenses, zoomable. One at around 100 and one ca 18-50 area.
I don’t have anything against buying used, and unfortunately only have about 2k to use (20 000kr).
I usually photograph archaeological sites, cats in them, landscape and friends/people in lowlight (recently some sports photography as well, football, although it’s not necessarily what I want to do most)
Some examples are added (not of friends as I’m respecting their privacy)

How has your experience been like with a D800? Any tips and tricks for a beginner using a pro DSLR? Got one at a sweet deal so am trying to maximise its fullest potential :)

my grandpa bought me this nikon d5100 with the 18-55mm kit lens with 16k shuttercount that he found online for roughly 160 dollars if you convert it to US dollars, came with a 64 gb sandisk sd card and its been a few months and in that span, ive cleaned the sensor once since i was finding spots in my photos at f16

should I be worried of the life span of my camera? I already put more 4k shutter count on it and I am aware the d5100 can last for 100k+ shutter counts and Im hoping that would be the case and not an earlier shutter death.

Recent portrait shoot on Z5ii with a few lenses. 35mm 1.8S, Minolta 50mm 1.4, Viltrox 85mm 2.0 EVO

I’ve been searching around for this for quite a bit now. The Coolpix A that I purchased did not come with the 46mm thread cover/ “beauty ring”.. does anyone have any idea on where to find one of these, or someone that will 3d print them? I don’t have facebook, but it seems like there’s occasional conversation on this topic. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I take stills but do small bursts, and don't ever shoot video. For a Z8, what would cards would work well but not be too expensive?

I see lots of recommendations for "best" cards but they are quite pricey. Like very pricey (ref: alikgriffon's site).

I am coming from Fuji-world. And there, I'm just using SD cards, even on their top of the line X-H2S.

With the X-H2S, I can blast away without a care and its buffer never fills up with my style of shooting. I normally take stills but occasionally when I make portraits, I will shoot at 5 fps for multiple short bursts to ensure I don't inadvertently catch someone blinking.

I don't shoot sports or do birding where you need high FPS and long bursts.

The cards I am using are mid-grade Samsung 512MB Pro Ultimate with markings that say: MicroSD XC 1, U-3, A2, V30.

And previously I used 256 GB Samsung EVO Select cards, which also have the same markings: MicroSD XC 1, U-3, A2, V30.

Will these 2 models of SD card work well with the Z8?

The Fuji is an APS-C camera. I shoot RAW+JPG, with the file sizes of 50+25 MB respectively, so about 75 MB total per shutter actuation. The X-H2S has a large buffer that takes my short bursts in stride and I never run out. Though after a number of bursts, the "writing to memory card" light is lit up for a while (sometimes quite a while) while it saves the photos to the SD card.

How large are Z8 files? Raw? JPEG? Is a pair a lot more than 75 MB? I know the megapixels are a lot more than the Fuji, which is 24 MP.

My biggest concern is how many shots can I take at 5 fps before the buffer fills and the camera slows down to a crawl? I have bad memories of my otherwise favorite D750 where, if I recall, it was only about 20 or 25 shots before it slowed down to a serious crawl, though that was a long time ago and memory cards were not that fast back then.

I love the fact that I can fire away in spray-and-pray (within reason) on my X-H2S without it every slowing down dramatically.

I am hoping that a Z8 can give the same performance with a modestly priced SD card like the ones that I have been using.

And if those cards will end up being too slow, then I am looking forward to hearing about 512MB compact flash B cards that are not too expensive. My cursory look shows that they are eye-wateringly expensive compared to the mid-grade Samsung SD cards.
