Thanks all. My Z8 is slated to arrive on Tuesday. I bought Thom's book last night. Whew, a bit to read. Peter

To pile on with the others who have responded... If you truly mean Shutter Priority - some of your follow-on posts lead me to think that you are mixing up terminology - then here's the words from ...

Is AF fine tuning on a mirrorless camera as relevant as it was for an DSLR? Or in other words, is half the problem solved already by the mere fact that mirrorless cameras perform the AF with the ...

Yes, I can see that. I've replaced failed drives in large RAID sets. Pulled a dead drive and inserted a replacement and waited for the rebuild to finish. Also upgraded drives, one at a time, by ...

... So the tolerance for a hard drive failure is moved from the active file system to the backup storage. Why? Is it better to have a more fault tolerant backup medium than the active file system? ...

... I don't understand. I have a desktop RAID box. It is a pair of mirrored HDD. Writes are preformed to both drives, reads from whichever drive is available. If one drive fails due to hardware ...

I don't store to the cloud. I backup to local drives. I have a 10TB internal SATA for my daily backups, and an external USB docking station with another 10TB drive, which I use for monthly and ...

I used ACRONIS for several years. About midway through that relationship I had performance issues with ACRONIS. Successive runs of a backup took significantly longer each day, although the backup ...

... Yeah, I know what  you mean. I retired from a large corporation that had major data centers and many, many large systems. We would have an annual DRT event to restore all critical business ...

I guess the bank is secure, but is it safe? What if - I know, I know, I'm being paranoid again - but what if the guy (or gal) who has the safety deposit box adjacent to your has a weird magnet ...

I read these forums, the couple that interest me, to hear other people's views and experiences, to broaden my understanding of photography. Some of the discussions dig deeper than my capacity to ...

Any chance that you printed on the wrong side of the paper? I have a PRO-300 too; and, once the ink sets for an hour or two, I have never had a problem with smearing ink. WITH ONE EXCEPTION - when ...

You have mentioned filters a couple times. I am curious what filters you use at such focal lengths? Peter

Hey, thanks for all the responses. Lots of ideas to check out. Looks like the LCD screen size is the same for the Z9 and the Z8. Thanks, Peter

I have just ordered a Z8 at a good Black Friday price. I read Thom Hogan's review of the Z8 and he suggests that the back LCD screen may not be as tough (tuff?) as past ones and that a screen ...

You should be aware that X-Rite have handed off the i1Display PRO and the i1Profiler application to Calibrite, and that X-Rite have posted their last update for the i1Profiler application. ...

I have a BenQ SW2700 which I use Photoshop, ACR, Bridge, NX Studio, etc. I don't use it for games. I do print to a PRO-300 so I need reasonable colour fidelity from screen to paper. I periodically ...

Send Thom a note on his website. I've contacted him a couple times that way. It might take a day or two for him to get back to you but he's pretty good that way.

Thanks. Yes I am aware of /? for help. And I think of '>' as a redirect rather than a true pipe. BUT I never knew about dir /s . Just goes to show, that even at age 64, you're (or rather I'm) never ...
