There's plenty of room in our Z6/7ii Fail-Whale Update Boat for all you maligned, forgotten, and mistreated Z8 users struggling to stay afloat in the River of Tears Nikon has created for you...

I'd suggest ripping the bandaid and going with Z lenses. Maybe start off with the 28/2.8 and the 40/2 to save some money, or a used 24-70/4 is always a decent option. The 24-120/4 is nice, but big ...

I love my Z30, it is what it is and it's very good at being just that! It knocks out decent video and pretty darn good stills with minimal effort. It can be 'churched-up" a bit in both directions ...

As others have stated, the onboard mics/pre-amps are not feature film ready, but they're serviceable depending on your needs, acceptable equipment footprint, and budget. Then add all the other ...

This late in the year makes it a tougher call with a potential new body release looming for the Z6/7's in early '24. But if you need a body now, and a used Z6 is out of the question, the Z6ii can ...

The 40/2.0 SE [$300 new] will look the part, but the 24-70/4 [$450 used] is a much better lens on almost every level, and offers a lot more flexibility for a one-lens operator.

If they do, it will be for people that have such a narrow real-world niche [staff Olympic Sports Photographer] that they don't even pay for their equipment. Then the Tech-Nerds will account for ...

Let's start from the beginning and eliminate any simple stuff: Menu>Wrench>HDMI>Output Resolution>Auto Menu>Wrench>HDMI>Advanced>Output Range>Auto Don't worry about the other options under Advanced. ...

I've been researching a similar use case, and keep coming back to the 24-50 FX kit zoom. It's 2.1" when mounted and collapsed on the camera body for transport, and only weighs 195g. It's slowish, ...

I'd figure out how to buy a Zf.

That damn useless built-in flash is what's taunting me!

Great images bro! I've put off buying a Z50 for a long time, all for little nit-picky things, then waiting for its successor which has never come. But the Z50 has been calling me again as I really ...

Very much agree with jjz2's experience. I use my Z6ii's and Z6 commercially, so I don't baby them, but I also treat them like the +$3000 set-ups they are [body, lens, Ninja V, SSD, mic, misc. ...

I just had this happen while using a third-party port extender on my MBP [an Anker unit with USB-C ports and a SD card reader]. Worked flawlessly for 3 years, then after the latest OSX update, it ...

These trolls are lame. At least back in the REAL troll wars of the early 2000's they'd suck you in through feigns and cleverness. Now, it's like a third-semester ESL student getting $2/post doing ...

On a Z6 it's: Menu>Pencil>D>D8>apply settings to Live View.

"...but my pinkie doesn't have a resting index, it's too heavy, the dials are confusing like an analog wrist watch... what was Nikon thinking???" It's a poor carpenter that blames his tools. It's ...

At this point if I was starting over again from scratch, I'd either buy a Z8 if funds allowed, or wait for the presumptive Z6iii. The workaround and actual practicality of running a Ninja V, SSD, ...

The $200 Pro-Res RAW or BRAW upgrade does not affect the camera if not hooked up to an external recorder. I have three bodies with the up-grade and when using them in a "normal" configuration, no ...

psssssst; word on the street is, skip any Nikon v2's... if ya' know what I mean. #criesinZ6ii :-(
