The CPA is still a fantastic camera in 2021 that yields excellent picture quality.   Auto focus speed is quick enough for most general purpose static photography, just like your phone camera.  But ...

Sorry, I'm late to this thread.  I just wanted to share a few pictures I took a couple years ago using my Z50 and these two lens in question.  Ignore the exposure of these photos as I was exposing ...

I also posted a photo of my 18-200 used on a modern day camera further up in this same  thread: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/64812999 i remember I was just shooting hand-held that day. ...

In terms of sharpness (focus accuracy), I actually had some problems with my copy of the 18-200 when used on my dslr’s.  Despite using AF fine tune, I was never able to dial in a setting that ...

For the truck pictures, almost looks like Active D-Lighting setting in CNX-D is different than the OOC jpg.  Increase ADL by one level and it should be pretty close I think. And for the OP,  my NEF ...

I actually really like the 18-140 for travel.  Image quality comes out pretty darn close to my 16-80.  The 18-140 is noticeably lighter too which would be a huge plus if carrying around all day.  ...

First off, I'm not experienced with the A6000 but looking at your first set of pictures, do you have some sort of in-camera noise reduction turned on?  If so, try turning it off and test again.  ...

Like the OP, I find the tilt screen to be extremely handy in situations where I have to shoot low or high angle shots.  Great to have on my D7500.  Love it even more on my Z50.

Not sure about upgrading C1 but I would recommend that your son can just download Nikon’s own Capture NX-D and play around with the NEF files there.  It’s made to reproduce the same colors and ...

Hey Paul, The 18-200 VR1 and VR2 are basically identical.  They added a "lock" switch to prevent the lens from zoom creeping on the VR2.  And that's about it. Congrats anyhow on your Z50 purchase.  ...

Mounting my old Nikon AF-S 18-200mm VR lens (mine is the ver 2 ... but optically identical to your ver 1) to the Z50 certainly breathes new life into this lens.  Specifically speaking for me, it's ...

And to add to that, I think NX-D does a pretty decent job for being what it is, a free Nikon product. Bear in mind, NX-D pushed to the limits still falls a little behind what a dedicated noise ...

Way to go Toxdox42.  Thanks for sharing.  Keep the passion rolling.

Congrats on your new Z50.  One more tip (if you haven't already figured it out) is if you hold the "back button focus" or half press the shutter button while you rotate the manual focus ring, it ...

I own both the Z50 & D7500 as well. In my opinion, each have their own list of strengths and I select the camera I use based on what I need most out of my anticipated shooting. Having said that, I ...

Yes, you’re right ... there was no fence or any other sturdy objects around me at the time other than a crowd of people.  Cudos to the CPA for still managing the shot despite having to deal with a ...

Hand-held fireworks I was travelling light last year with family & kids so only brought my CPA with me.  No tripod either.  Just hand-held for 1/25 second.

20 seconds without tripod ... that's crazy good!   Excellent details too.  Great job!

Fantastic!  Captured all that beautiful nature all in one.

I also have both camera's and have put both through various tests. Image quality, as others have also noted, will be essentially identical. Here's an unprocessed RAW comparison I did: https://www.d ...
