For such heavy crops, those don't look bad at all, IMO. Kerry

I have both d7200 and d500 and I disagree with your assertion that the d500 doesn't outshine the d7200, assuming of course, that you use all of the available focus points and don't just use the ...

I'm not all that familiar with Nikon's film era, but it seems to me that was how Nikon worked then.  They didn't have a bunch of cheap, consumer film cameras, at least that I can recall. It seems ...

I hope that you like the lens.  I've been happy with mine. I agree with the others, ie that the 85mm is the best portrait length of those 3 lenses. I've used the old, 85 f/1.4 quite a lot for ...

All of the pics are nicely done, but the first 2 are really sweet, IMO.  The lighting is good and the angles of the shots are great.  I wish I had shots like those. The weather/light has never ...

Well captured! It's an excellent photo and it's humorous as well. :-) I wish it were mine. I'd print it large and hang it.

Hi Ronni, If you can afford it, I'd suggest the Nikon 24-70.  I use it for portraits and landscapes, probably more than any other lens. Some think that 24mm is too long, especially on DX. If that ...

FWIW, I have both the d7100 and d7200, plus a d500.   I didn't like the d7100 after I got it. I had issues with the AF, IIRC and didn't use it.  I got the d7200 later and haven't had any issues ...

Awesome photos, Janet.  Very nicely done! Kerry

Sorry, Steve, but your paragraph is a little confusing to me.  For clarification, do you already have both XQD and SD cards for use in the camera?  When you say "card adapter" are you talking ...

No reason for flames, that I can see. You're talking about 2 or 3 separate issues here, with 2 or 3 different answers, IMO. If you just want a beater body, I'd advise just getting a cheap, used d7k ...

If you're satisfied with the photos you get with the phone, I see no reason that you should buy a d500, or any other camera for that matter. Kerry

They could do that, but the lens would likely be huge and expensive, thus having a low market.  The 16-80 is what they came up with as a compromise.  If you want faster, I think that you have to ...

Thanks for the info on the update, JC.  AfterShot is one of several raw converters that I have, but it's been a while since I've used it.  I think I'll download this latest update and see how it ...

The client is always right.  :-)  Over the years, I have no idea how many times I've had clients choose photos that I didn't like, over ones that I thought were excellent.  So now, I just show ...

Good looking shot of a good looking dog.  The only issue I have is the flare spots on the dog's back. That's unfortunate that the lens did that. :-( Kerry

Unless you have issues with changing lenses and/or removing/installing the grip, I don't see where you'd need another body. The d500, with the grip removed and a decent lens can do the walkaround, ...

FWIW, I have the Tamron 90 macro, among others, and it is one of my slower focusing lenses.  I wouldn't try to catch dogs running at me, with that lens. You're welcome.  Shooting running dogs can ...

Well, at risk of being argumentative, if the format weren't included, the poll questions wouldn't need to be so cumbersome. I don't see any significant reason for someone using a grip on one format ...

It really doesn't matter to me, but your poll is lacking because of including the sensor sizes.  Many of us have and use both formats, as is indicated in many responses.  Your poll doesn't show ...
