Thanks - confusing kilos and pounds. :) I'm mainly taking the 800 PF on this one because it's new and I have a chance to use it. The 500 PF is probably the right focal length for the long end. ...

Well said and I agree. I would place the AF speed for action a little behind the D850, but the EVF is part of that issue. On the other hand, AF is more accurate, and the frame rate is faster, so ...
-
No doubt the Z9 is better. For that kind of action, so is the D5 and D6. But that does not mean the Z6ii and Z7ii can't do the job for a high percentage of photographers. Bird photography is a ...

I have an FTZ with the teleconverter. I forgot to label it. The lens weight is around 2.5 pounds. The complete pack loaded like this is with all accessories is 32 pounds. That includes extra ...

Steve Perry was testing the FTZ impact on focus speed using the Z9, a Z6ii, and the D850. The test was F-mount long lenses using the FTZ with and without a teleconverter. His test was from ...

Here is a good perspective on the size of the 800mm PF. I've got a bag packed for an upcoming trip with the 800 PF, 500 PF, Z 70-200 f/2.8, 24-70 f/2.8, 14-30 f/4, Z 1.4 TC, and two bodies - the ...
-
Given the strength of the Z9, the only uses for a second camera are as a backup and as a hiking/travel camera. I don't see any reason to ever use either camera as a primary camera over the Z9, so ...
-
Nice photos. You won't get much difference in the lens change from the 300 PF to the 100-400. The difference is driven by the camera body more than the lens. The Z9 is as good or better than the ...
-
The economics on these events are awful. You've got huge costs for the venue committed years in advance, late commitments from vendors reflecting budget pressures and a changing and smaller ...
-
AF speed depends on a number of variables. The 100-400 is a relatively fast focusing lens, and as a bare lens will focus reasonably quickly in good light. The one caveat is you need a clear ...

I agree with the comments from Shuncheung and abc123brian. I've tested my cards in the D850, Z6 and Z7ii - and previously used XQD cards in my D500 and D850. I'm using the Delkin Power as a good ...

My 800 PF arrived on Saturday - after my class but in time to get out Sunday morning. It's a terrific lens. The lens is about the same weight as the 200-500, but better balanced. There is a nice ...

If you are having overheating issues, it is the card - not the camera. Some types of photography - especially video - need a faster card. The Lexar card is an economy card and tends to overheat ...
-
Yes - it was the 128 GB card.
-
I'm not aware of a single Z lens that is not better than the F-mount counterpart. The most recent f/2.8 zooms are very close. There are some primes where the weight of the F-mount lens is much ...
-
There are a number of comments here about the greater ability to crop the Z7ii compared to the Z6ii. That's true as far as megapixels are concerned, but the opposite is true when it comes to ...
-
Sure - except for the additional AF modes, the second card slot, the additional processor, the frame rate differences, and performance of eye and face detect AF. The Z7ii is faster focusing, more ...
-
Just so everyone is clear, it's more than just a best practice to reformat a card when you move it to a different camera. According to ProGrade's blog, there can be differences in the way ...
-
Tracking is for following a subject that has already achieved focus - and the camera uses color to help identify the subject. For example, it can track a bright blue ball much better than the dog ...
-
You need to format the card for the camera being used. Switching between cameras can be a problem without formatting. My frame rate testing showed major issues with a card formatted for a ...
