There are a lot of people here who think they know better than Nikon’s marketing department. Maybe they do, but I wouldn’t be so sure. The Z30 doesn’t do anything for me; I’ve got no interest in ...

I don’t regret buying my Z50. It’s part of a great lightweight travel kit and I enjoy using it. It’s not a BIF camera but that doesn’t matter if I’m not trying to shoot BIF.

It doesn't do anything for me but I don't think people like me are the target. As far as I'm concerned they could take out all the video capabilities of all their cameras and it wouldn't make any ...

No, the Z TCs won't work with the FTZ.

There's a lot of truth in this. I think what some people want is to take the camera out of the box, set it in some sort of auto mode, point it in the general direction of a BIF and get 100% ...

While I agree that Nikon need to come up with a mid-range camera that has some of the Z9's capabilities, how many people are BIF or fast sports action photographers? Currently the other companies ...

You can find them on his "sansmirror" site.

I’m primarily interested in landscape, and some wildlife but not generally BIF, so I can’t really comment on the sort of things you mention. Thom Hogan seems to think that the Z6/7 AF is perfectly ...

I think you say it yourself if you read the whole of your post. Nikon wins on IQ, handling, and ergonomics, so you could equally say that the competition lags behind in those areas. Nikon lags in ...

How many people are BIF or action sports specialists? They might need a Z9, but for the rest of us the Z6/7 (first or second generation) are great cameras.

I think some of this is a reaction to the idea that the Z6 and Z7 (first and second versions) are bad cameras and that they are vastly inferior to their rivals. Maybe they lag in some aspects of ...

A few days ago we had a very strongly coloured sunset. It started out yellow/orange and changed to a very strong pink/red. I believe it was caused by dust in the air which travelled from the ...

That's interesting. I had a Z6 and had a similar thing with different tints across the frame, mainly with a 24-200 too as far as I can remember. I don't have the camera or the lens now so I can't ...

I think we all have our personal preferences, but what will create volume sales is another matter. Thom usually tries to think about it from the business point of view. Personally I'm not ...

I can't see the need for high-end APS-C myself. I have a Z50 and a couple of the DX Z lenses, because it makes a great lightweight travel kit, but once you're into big telephotos the weight ...

If lightness is your priority and you don’t mind using the FTZ, the 70-300 mm AF-P is not a bad option. if you don’t mind spending more money, the 300 mm PF is a very nice lens. It works nicely ...

Having gone exclusively full frame for a while I was missing having a really lightweight travel kit for trips and longer hikes, so I picked up a Z50 and a couple of DX lenses. I've not used it too ...

I’d say you’re right, up to a point. Certain cameras make certain jobs easier, but all modern ILCs are capable of producing good images. What I’d say is most important is knowing your camera ...

The thing is, “the benefits of the new S lenses” would be entirely lost with such an adaptor, assuming such a thing could be made. It makes me think of a quote from Dr Samuel Johnson. The subject ...
