When you say the D3s is 'out of date' - what do you like better about your D500? (other than maybe more pixels to crop)

Hi John. Welcome to dpreview. If you don't take a lot of photos at 7 fps or 9 fps, even the absolutely slowest card will be fine for you.  It all depends on the way you use your camera. If you only ...

Your 2 trips will beg for very different equipment.  A second camera with you if you can carry it is super helpful.  And having the added 'reach' of your DX 7100 makes your lens '50 percent longer.' ...

Improvement in AF?  The D5 is ALREADY the best AF'ing camera there is.  The best Nikon, and most who know say better than any Canon. And - for my usage - the D5 AF is significantly better than the ...

And where is my D6?  :(

It depends on what you're going to use it for.  Portrait photography?  Maybe.  But another option I might suggest is a D750.  Compare the price of one to the D3. I liked my D3 very much back when I ...

A comparison of the 1.4 and 1.7 TC's might benefit from the point of view that you MIGHT get better results with the 1.4 cropped down to the magnification that you'd get from the 1.7 - if you know ...

I put down a deposit on the 200-400 f4 VR 1 way back in about 2009, maybe 2008 - but I didn't have the funds to follow through for several months, so nasty Aden Camera sold the lens they had, and ...

I also have the 70-200 f4 lens, and loved it a lot, and it worked very well with the 1.4 x TC III, especially down at the beach where there was tons of light. The new E FL 2.8 is raved about as ...

I've appreciated their painless quick delivery to Canada, and I think their prices are as good or better than other places.

If you can swing the cost of a D5, I say go for it.  There is a seller from Japan who has about 10 of them for sale, and I've been watching his Buy it Now prices - which have dropped by almost ...

Because the 180-400 is so impressive at 400mm, - 500 mm is too close.  But I'm not impressed with my 180-400 at 560mm.  So when my subjects are 600, 700mm equivalent distance away, I would ...

The D5 is so amazing, that it may take another half million photos before the shutter fails.  You will probably start to get hints later if things are starting to wear out - like you may notice a ...

I found the 2xTC to be good - when there was lots of light. And remember, that you will need to fine tune the AF separately for each TC, and for the bare lens alone.  You will get different AF ...

No.  A camera is more likely to fail in the first month than it is during any month during the next year - and the probability that you will get 2 shutter failures on two cameras within several ...

A VERY long time ago I tried buying I think a no-name TC from eBay - but it didn't AF with my lenses.  So it went bye bye. I would use a Sigma TC if I was using a Sigma lens.

Has anybody else checked out the link to photos taken with a (Canon) 200 f2 here: https://500px.com/lisaholloway Wow.  Just WOW! Have you ever looked at a collection of photos and started to cry? Wow.

100-400 on FF and 300pf with 1.4 xTC on the D500 might be really nice for those shots where the bird is never close enough. There are Kenko TC's.  Personally, I wouldn't bother. And I've got a bit ...

How much time have you spent reading Brad's blog?  There is some REALLY good info in there.  And more importantly, it is the careful evaluation of someone who REALLY uses his camera gear - in REAL ...

The 1.7xTC is not very good compared to the 1.4.  Some people even say the 2.0xTC is better than the 1.7.  Both the 1.4 and 2xTC have been 'upgraded' to version III.  The 1.7xtc has ...
