@J0n Sn0w: The R3 is usually very hard to spot behind the forest of white lenses... Last time Nikon was the largest player in sports photography was probably back in the manual focus days and then...

Hollywood seem to ignore FF completely.

Flop? It took Nikon 2 years to catch up with the AF in the R3...The question is if Nikon ever will catch up with Sony AF...

The Z8 is a Z9 in a smaller package. 45MP, dual image pipeline with zero delay/blackout viewfinder, IBIS, advanced video and many more features. If you don't need them, there are of course cheaper...

Yes, that is correct , the short flash duration "freezes" the moving subject, and the slow shutter speed makes the correct exposure for the rest of the scene.

DX is slowly dissipating. Still no worthy replacement for the D500. But looking at product cycles 2024 might be a reasonable point in time for a high speed DX action camera AND a new/improved FX...

They also recommend "offsite backup.", maybe you should ask Santa for that?

The A9 III + the new 300mm/2.8 will be game changer, what a dream combo for sports shooters. A 300/2,8 at 3 pounds is totally crazy!
Global shutter will also mean even better AF as the AI gets more...

File size can still vary a bit depending on the scene, noise levels etc. Compression at setting "normal" is half so file size will end up at around 6MB, and for "fine" around 12MB. Normal is...

Great choice! Have fun!

What Leica lens did they copy the lens design from?

@MikeRan: It's the same when it comes to the underlying algorithm (DCT), compression levels can vary obviously, Nikon as well as the competition have options as you pointed out.

@tilted_horizon:
Thom Hogan: "but particularly with Basic you need to be careful". Is that what you mean? Why not stick to "fine" or "normal"? I would use as little compression as possible.

JPEG is an ISO standard, the compression algorithm is the same for any camera make. Shoot RAW (+JPEG) instead, RAW is intended for editing whereas JPEG is not.

Stranger than fiction. Where is the Hasselblad X2D?

The Z5 is so freakin' cheap now, must be a Best Buy...Is it the cheapest FF-camera ever possibly? Thank you Sony for the latest 61 MP competition...better get those 24MP cameras of the shelf ASAP.

Before the war starts: "These are NOT the only cameras worth buying"

The Blair Witch Project film crew didn't use IBIS either.... ;-)

IS/VR is perfectly fine 98% of the time.

Why? Everybody loves free firmware updates. Right?
