At this point in time, it would make more sense to compare with a D500. Of course, D5 will win, but D600 will not. JC Some cameras, some lenses, some computers

You are now comparing a 2007 vintage camera with 2014 (D750), 2018 (Z6), 2013 (Coolpix A). Nikon took a long time to update the D300 with a D500 in 2016. Give the D500 a try. JC Some cameras, some ...

Home run again, Rudy! JC Some cameras, some lenses, some computers

If I understand well, the camera with heavy lens attached fell on the rear corner, which means the shock could have stressed the mount. I would want to examine the mount carefully for slop or ...

For what you plan to do, there is *no* other option. And there is no comparison between D500 and Z50, the latter is not even close. JC Some cameras, some lenses, some computers

Note that the DR6 will not fit the D200. You need one designed for the round eyepiece, as in the D500, D4, D5, D3, D8xx, etc. It will be the same for third party versions, you need one for the pro ...

Re: expensive, you could try your luck on the used market, or maybe one of the other manufacturers might have one that fits. JC Some cameras, some lenses, some computers

If for a D500, in case the LCD in live-view is not enough for you, you can get the Nikon DR5. It fits on the D500 eyecup: https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product/viewfinders/dr-5-screw-i ...

I think maybe you will have to do so on the computer. What I usually do is take a picture of a note or sign to keep track of a change of event. I transfer the whole card to the computer, and once I ...

Did you add that folder on the camera or on the computer? And if you did it on the computer, why do you keep images on the card? JC Some cameras, some lenses, some computers

Then read about the rumor that says this is such a bad lens that dealers do not keep it in stock, people keep cancelling orders for them ... JC Some cameras, some lenses, some computers

I am not sure I understand what you are asking. A "hot", "dead", "stuck" pixel means the same thing: it is a defective pixel that shows in your final image. It usually does not show in regular ...

Anyone with "inside knowledge" will definitely not be posting an answer in a public forum. I see the D500 is still being listed on the Nikon Australia site: https://www.nikon.com.au/en_AU/product/d ...

A few eons ago, I dipped my toes in astronomy, even grinding my first mirror. A couple of sub-zero nights convinced me I was not really cut for it :-) I gave it a try again when I laid my hands on ...

Those dots have nothing to do with the lens, Remember, no image is being formed. Rather, a dark frame detects the "hot" pixels in the sensor.  And those will vary with the exposure time and with ...

OP said 200-500 ... JC Some cameras, some lenses, some computers

So you are not really selling all your lenses. If you keep the D500, you have to keep some F-mount lenses because Z-mount lenses will not fit. On the other hand F-mount lenses fit on Z bodies with ...

"All" the lenses? Maybe you should sell the D500 also, Z lenses will not fit the D500. It would make more sense to sell the D500 and get the Z6, the older lenses can be used on the Z6. By the way, ...

Some people also drop their lenses in a concrete stair. If there is any resultant damage, it is not because light passed through the glass! JC Some cameras, some lenses, some computers
