I shot the picture here with the Z5 set to raw+jpeg mode.  The first picture below is the out of camera JPEG and the second is a raw conversion.  There are two reasons I know of why all of the ...

I am trying out the Z5 with the 24-200mm lens when I spot a cat. So I follow it around for a while as it surveys its territory. Oops!  I'm on the wrong side of the fence for this next photo. So I ...

Base ISO values are normally rounded to 1/3 of a stop, so ISO 100 on the D7200 is not necessarily the same as ISO 100 on the D7500, but the difference should be less than 1/3 of a stop. Another ...

A 3700mAh battery won't damage the camera. (It's possible for a battery to damage a camera, but if that happens, it's not because of the battery capacity.)

The amount of battery capacity that...

The description says the 1.4x teleconverter is used, but the EXIF data indicates that the 2x teleconverter is used, to get a focal length of 380mm. After looking at this photo, I would want to see...

Good catch on the sensor. In fact, image 71, shot at ISO 100 but brightened in post, has visible noise at 100% view.

I'm guessing the Nikon D800 (released in 2012) has a better sensor. Of course...

Did they post the test photos shown in the video anywhere? I can find them.

The Z6 II is new enough that it isn't a likely candidate for discounts.  My guess is that the original Z6 goes on sale but the Z6 II doesn't.  So if you have the money and definitely want the Z6 ...

Yes, both the D7200 and the D3100 are the same as the Z50.  The only alternative design that the OP mentions is always metering off the center spot, which also requires a meter and then reframe ...

I haven't tried any of the other Z cameras, but I did compare the Z5 to the Fujifilm X-H1.  The X-H1 is an APS-C camera, so f/2.8 on the X-H1 is equivalent to f/4 on the Z5, and the 24-200mm kit ...

Both of those sites now have the release date.

First, a big thanks to everybody who replied.  I didn't (and still don't) understand exactly how PDAF works on mirrorless cameras.  And I was mislead by the specification comparison between the Z5 ...

I ordered a Z5 with the 24-200mm lens using the Nikon Yellow program.  The picture below was shot in pretty dark conditions, as you can tell by the fact that it was shot at f/8, 1/6 sec., ISO ...

With regard to low light performance: The Z6 has more dynamic range than the Z5 at ISO 800 and above.  (At ISO values below 800, the Z5 has the edge.)  But I compared the two carefully using the ...

There is significantly more vignetting visible in the f/1 shots than in the f/4 shots, but the f/1 shots seem to be darker everywhere. You mean because of microlenses?  These make the sensor ...

One question about the f/1 vs. f/4 comparisons.  The f/1 shots are darker than the f/4 shots, even though the nominal exposure is higher for the shots taken at f/1.  For example, on the first pair ...

Thanks for posting this.  I will no doubt do the same thing at some point, and now I know what to look for.

I bought the X-H1 when it was priced at $999, but you are right that this is the first Fuji with IBIS to be introduced at that price.

The only issue I have with Nikon's strategy is that Nikon's Z-mount lenses are expensive. They aren't necessarily overpriced, because they are excellent lenses, but it does mean that buying full...

Agreed, but the zoom range is really limited. Personally, I'd rather have the 50mm f/1.8, and lose the (limited) zoom ability in exchange for a larger maximum aperture.
