Took these three pics in June 1999 while climbing Beinn Liath Mhor, a mountain in the Torridon area of Scotland. Kodak Gold 100, Nikon F601, 35-70 lens. Nigel

No. For my Yashica FX3 Super 2000 I trust the metering and use that. My Nikon F601 had a reputation for slightly overexposing so I under-exposed a tad, basically by metering off a brighter bit of ...

Two working. Yashica FX3 Super 2000 and Nikon F601, both of which I've had from new. Still used. Possibly working. Yashica Minister III rangefinder which I inherited from my dad, first decent ...

Thanks for the comment, Jim. You may be right. One thing I'm finding with both Z6 and Z50 is that the OOC jpegs are a bit under-saturated compared to my Nikon DSLRs, so I'm tweaking the saturation ...

I,m talking from ignorance here, because I'm not sure of the answer. You're talking about the Z mount. There are limits to how small a camera you can make using that mount; I think Nikon have done ...

Nothing much. But on Monday the Covid-19 travel-restrictions here in Wales were eased, and after 3 months away I was able to visit my favourite walking territory. So, in celebration ...

Z DX has its uses, as does F DX. Nikon have hit the middle of the range with the Z 50, more than a mirrorless D5700, maybe not quite a mirrorless D7500, but pretty close.  But there is room for at ...

Generally speaking, cameras are always price sensitive. If there's a significant difference between two models, the buyer will want to be convinced that the more expensive model is THE one for...

I'm not a fan of "need to grow" which is often bandied about, as if there is some photographic mecca to which all budding photographers should aspire. A lot of photographers have a certain range ...

I'd return it. You're being robbed of a decent manual and a plug, and it could impact sales value if you decided to sell it on.

The sort of person who might be happy with these would be much better off with a Nikon P950. And save a lot of dosh into the bargain.

Ignore the doubters on here. The Z50 is an excellent camera and both kit lenses are very good; it will fit your stated use very well. I bought it to complement my Z6 for circumstances, mainly out ...

I use jpegs the whole time. I normally do some post-processing, e.g. straightening/cropping if necessary, resizing where appropriate, a touch of unsharp mask, lifting shadows using ...

All speculation. But... the Z6 has a reasonably rugged build, good weather-sealing, a stellar EVF and a  number of other features which the Z5 may well lack. So the Z6 should still attract buyers ...

24-50 makes no sense. Whatever. So far Nikon has resisted the temptation to offer crippled products as an excuse to offer lower prices. Don't think they'll start.

A lot of attractions, which others above have outlined. But the impetus to me was getting something different . I had a D3100, whose age didn't bother me and gave me some great pics, but I'd added ...

Any fast-moving business carries the threat of extinction. Will phones take over? Phones as much as any are under threat. At the moment hi-end phones seem to be thriving. But what happens when ...

Do weight and size matter? The Z6 + 24-70 is relatively light and compact for a full frame camera but it's still distinctly larger than Fuji APS-C cameras, especially the Beyer models you've been ...

There's an alternative. Stick with M43. Yes I know there are arguments along the lines of larger sensors give you better quality, but that difference in quality isn't what makes a great picture.

Look at IBIS as a bonus, not anywhere near a necessity. It's primary value is enabling you to hand-hold shots at a considerably slower shutter speed than you can otherwise do, if your lens doesn't ...
