It's great to talk about the technical subjects about our gear, but in the end it is all about the image.  I just love seeing all these posts/images from members.  It shows different styles, ...

Perhaps that was the purpose of the photo..!

I agree with OP. Nikon promised the feature. Therefore a promise not kept is an indictment on the ability of the manufacturers commitment to their products. CFExpress is a card format that is ...

No Recourse?  Take them to small claims court for negligence or have your attorney send them a letter.  I'd make the biggest stink I could.  Unless it is explicitly written they are not ...

Not to take anything away from the OP's fine photos.  However, the specimen posted is really just another shot of the Milky way.  I would not call it a fine art print.  If you want to add some ...

Outstanding photo. Have you ever tried experimenting with Light Painting the foreground rocks? They have 1000-2000 lumen led flashlights which could help paint those rocks for a dramatic effect.

Thanks for all the great tips and that video; very helpful.  From the summary of answers, it doesn't look like I will pick up that much more sharpness (i.e less camera shake) by down sizing my ...

I must admit, my technique sucks with hand holding the D850.  I keep getting lots of camera shake even at reasonable shutter speeds.  It's probably because I'm getting older.  I did not experience ...

I used to use the 300mm F4 and I could not adjust to the fixed focal length for shooting BIF.  It was very sharp, but slow to focus with the TC2III.  It drove me crazy missing shots with birds too ...

If they haven't released it by now, they never will.

I have this problem with my Nikon 105 F2.8 Micro.  I bought it used and sometimes it refuses to focus; until I twist the mount.  I've cleaned the contacts and even sent it in for cleaning, ...

Nikon 70-200 F4 is lightweight and very sharp.

This was a frantic capture. No camera in hand, but ran into the house, grab camera, changes lenses, check settings, search, compose, and shoot before the bugger takes flight!

Do you guys think this photo is sharp?  This taken on a tripod with a D850.

I just don't understand the "GRIP" hysteria.  If you prefer a larger camera, buy a D5/D6. Thom already states the battery life in the 780 is double that of the 750.   People  honestly can't take ...

Thanks for trying Hasa.  Did you use Topaz Sharpen AI?  It looks better to me.

HI Morris, Your right.  My worry was adding SO much noise with that darkness and the be honest, I was on Auto-ISO, but sadly didn't have time to go into settings and change the upper limit which ...

Here is the scenario: Wife and I walking home after our evening walk, spot Hawk, run inside house to grab camera and lens. Frantically review settings and swap lenses while rushing out the door. Scene:
