The M50 is a good camera. 24mp is more than enough for all normal purposes. Let me make a suggestion, if I may? Find a good 'straight out of the camera' picture that you like that was taken with a ...

I was at Harbor Freight the other day, and a guy brought in a broken 3/8" drive ratchet. He'd been using it with a 3/8-1/2 adapter on a 2" socket, and had slipped a 3' length of steel tube over ...

When I bought an AF-P Lens for my D5300 I needed to update the firmware. I remember that there were two different internal files to be updated. I also had an issue that the first couple of times ...

I suggest you look for a local watchsmith. Many of the same size fiddly little screws, and he's likely to have drawers of them and can match the size.

As a recent "returnee" to SLR photography I'd actually suggest you "Go cheap" on a used camera, to free up more budget for lenses. The price difference between a good condition 10mp like a Nikon ...

I don't think the answer is insulting, or the excuse flimsy, at all. The auctioneers are a real estate agency, not an electronics or camera shop. They are auctioning off the stuff left behind in ...

I'm sorry, I disagree. Clearance sellers buy job lots of miscellaneous stuff that, in general, they know nothing about. If someone buys a 17 year old camera - or a laptop or whatever, that is ...

Hi, it came on a D70. I've tried it on my D5300, and on a D40, and it works exactly the same on all three. I've also tried other lenses on the D70, and they all work fine, so the issue is ...

Hi all, I picked up a camera that came with the kit AF-S 18-70 zoom lens. The lens has a problem with autofocus at longer focal lengths. At 18mm it focuses as quickly as expected. As you zoom, ...

For anyone else coming across this old thread, the problem with mine was that the tiny glass xenon flash tube was actually broken at one end. The good news is that the flash tubes used in virtually ...

Just for anyone who has the same problem, I opened the pop-up flash housing again, and removed the tube housing. The xenon flash tube was physically broken right at one end. It was literally a ten ...

Wouldn't surprise me :-( But maybe not. She's already been taking lots of smartphone pictures, of course, and wanted to start using my "real" camera because even at 11 she could see she could do ...

I just bought a D70 with somewhat sticky rubber. Browsing revealed this to be a common problem, and I saw a few posts on fixing it. I will try them and post my results.

Your timing is immaculate. My 11 year old granddaughter has started getting interested, so I looked on Craigslist for an inexpensive DSLR for her to have as her own. I wanted a Nikon so she could, ...

When you print a digital picture, the printer software takes the pixels of the digital image and maps them to printer dots. A 15x10 image at 300 dpi has 45,000 printer dots. If you are starting ...

Yes, I wasn't really expecting the off-camera flash to zoom with the camera lens, but I was expecting the one sitting on the camera to do so. Since the pin pattern on the top and bottom of the ...

For anyone who's not already committed to Lightroom, might I suggest Darktable instead? It's a free open source alternative. It also has full workflow and DAM capability. It might not have all the ...

Hi all, I've started playing around with multiple flashes with my D5300. I bought some Polaroid wireless flash triggers. They work fine. With one sitting on the cameras hot shoe, with a Nikon i-TTL ...

I've started doing astrophotography with my D5300. With no lens attached - ie the camera directly mated to the telescopes eyepiece holder - the liveview image is really jumpy. If I move the scope, ...

Not much more than a guess, but I'm thinking studio light. The fitting looks like a lamp holder, the colored glass screens appear to be to give colored light.
