Spoiler: additionally to your 12-40/2.8 and 12-45/4.0 investigations, have a look at the 12-100/4. That lens is heavy, but awesome. Software: As already noted, try Olympus WorkSpace. It is slow, ...

... Sony ramped up the capabilities of their cameras constantly. And I think the a7III might be their first FF MILC with a really impressive AF, but if memory serves right there where other cameras ...

No studio work, just random everyday photography. Actually... no! But maybe I didn't ask precisely. So here we go: With my current setup, I need to initiate "tracking mode" once. Then, with the ...

I guess the answer will be "no": Is there a way to have a Z6II go to focus tracking mode immediately when switched on? Would be nice to not having to press "OK" or a custom button first. Cheers!

Easy one! Since you are a Nikon gear collector obviously, wait for the Z50+18-140 kit. Done. ;)

I didn't find any way to do so, but would want to know if it's possible.

... if only Nikon would give us "thumb-on-screen" AF positioning... Every time I use my Canon RP, I think "Damn. Want this on my Z6 badly!!" Such an easy way to move around AF points.

I bought into the Z system because of the 50/1.8 . This is an absolutely stunning lens (IMHO). If you get one of the zooms, you can't go wrong either. Does not really seem to matter which one you ...

Not true IMHO generally. Thing to consider about EF-S (DSLR) is that there have been little new well-performing designs in the last 10 years at all. While m43 at the time was (and is) the top notch ...

No, unless the DX 18-140 is cutting too many corners for cost reduction. Yes. That is, if you can live with the shallower DOF of the Z5 FX camera. If you need to stop it down further to get more ...

In handheld operation the advantage of FF sensors compared to crop sensors is pretty much a wash: - need to stop down more for same DOF -- need for higher ISO at the same shutter speed - larger ...

... that's right! Today I went out with my E-M1.2 again. It is still the nicest handling camera I owned so far, better than Eos RP and Z6.2 . Only the quite low-res EVF could use an update.

From a gear cost perspective:
If you need 1000$ or more to get an iPhone, you could get an APS-C camera with a lens or two for not much more. So if you are a "professional" media creator, cost...

The passively cooled MBA may throttle a little, but for the actual user experience (UI responsiveness) I never noticed a slow down.

Cheap trick: Just switch do DX mode and you have a 21-45mm without too much hassle. In case you shoot a Z7, still 20MP files. Z6 turns into 10MP in DX mode, still enough for most use cases probably. ...

Thanks Mike for the details about your benchmarking procedure. I actually "auto-upgraded" the HOT-app shortly after I posted my finding above, just to find out that the blue "speed" graph is now gone.

Hi Mike, using which tool indicates thermal throtteling on M1macs? I currently use "Hot" (see screenshot). So far, the "speed" curve (blue) never dipped, also "speed limit" never showed something ...

Pixel 6 pro seems to have the Samsung GN1 sensor, which measures 12.2 mm (millimeters) diagonally. It seems to be used in several phones already, check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_ISOCELL

... to be fair, not every single attempt of getting a hand held 2 seconds exposure sharp enough is successful. It takes several tries at times and also depends on my current state (hand tremor).
