Virtual Photon

It's a semantic thing and not really a big deal to me.  On several forums there have been endless tedious posts zinging the Z7 for not being a "pro camera" (one even argued that since the Z7 ...

This puzzles me to no end.  Surely they had the camera out with testers (and all those 'ambassadors').  Surely they had feedback from beta testers.  And surely they have a competent team who ...

Interesting data, thanks. "unlike the other professional grade DSLRs"   Sigh . . . One of the things that continues to impress me is not that the Z7 is so bad (which most certainly is not) but that ...

1) Because they aren't the same lens. 2) Are you seriously suggesting that the choice between two different systems comes down to the difference in price of one lens?

Plane of focus looks to be on the ear, so well behind the eyes.  You can follow the plane of focus up and see the line in the boy's hair where it is in focus.  Cute kids, btw.

For those of you who can't see it . . you can see it here on the original jpeg.  This was just downloaded and converted to b/w using Macphun intensify pro:

Only if he is flying in a circle around you :-D  Or you are running in a circle around him . . . Agree that appropriate shutter speed is more critical than ISO. My experience is that a lot of this ...

I agree with the posters above.  Motion blur.  I never shoot BIF under 1/1000 and try for 1/1500 or higher depending on the bird and circumstance.

Buying a camera hoping that the company will fix what you perceive as problems is sort of like marrying your spouse hoping that they will lose weight - be nice (and healthful) if it happened but ...

Just as an aside the 24-70 S with the hood on blocks the focus-assist light.  I turned the focus assist light off as well and have little trouble focussing in pretty dim light. I'm sure somebody is ...

Travel . . . Have been using M43 which has now been relegated to back-up.  The higher resolution and wider DR pushed too many buttons.  Plus, like many of you, I have a number of Nikon lenses.

Light plays a role in these as well.  Some of the Z7 shots didn't 'look' quite as sharp because it didn't look like the light was quite as good.  But I take Mark's word for the focus.  Something ...

Mark, Thanks for a refreshingly honest video based in real world (well your world - it's 17 degrees and snowing here!) experience.  I've photographed Ospreys a lot over on Sanibel and they truly ...

No records kept, but just my impressions. I think it is probably on a par with the EM-1 mk1, but behind the mkii. In my experience, it is nothing like the EM-1 mkii dual IS with something like the ...

The advantage of AF-C BBF is that you have the best of both AF-S and AF-C.  One other thing to consider is that if you are working with a relatively thin DOF and hand-holding, even slight head ...

Well, that's the question.  I've shot a number of snow capped mountains with dark forest slopes, sometimes in shade as well.  Never needed to push 6 stops to bring up some of the forest details.

I swear I think DF owners are just plain different folks - and yes I wish I had one . . .

It seems like overall a generally well balanced review.  Having used the Z7 for a bit over 3 weeks I think the sum of its parts is a bit better than the nit picking over some of the details. My ...

And if you go to pg 451 in the D750 manual, they say "Nikon recommends that the filter be cleaned only by Nikon-authorized service personnel." Explaining how to do something is not the same as ...
