No doubt that some people have real problems, but it is also possible that you don't hear so much from people whose gear is excellent. It is always more interesting to try to solve a problem than ...

Excellent snake shots, John. I haven't seen a copperhead for years! You have captured the copper sheen beautifully. IainD

Auto focus is much faster with the D500. D810 is good but seriously beaten by the D500 for moving targets, especially BIF. I don't do BIF with th 810 I use the D5 or the D500. IainD

Sounds like it may be broken unfortunately. Try a two button reset but it sounds like a trip to the camera hospital. IainD

PS I like both my D500 and my D810. I have not been disappointed by either and I think the IQ of the D500 is excellent. I need to keep both but I could mange with either alone if my wife had put ...

Hey! Watch those comments about Melbourne!😀 We get Spring, summer, Autumn and winter here, sometimes within the space of a few hours! IainD

Ernie, I had to show my receipt to get the change tp occur. I

Same with Nikon Australia. I took the old batteries in, and they were happy to swap them immediately but had no stock. It took them three days. Very happy. IainD

Nice! You may get more information on the Pro DX forum rather than the FX forum. Enjoy your new camera. I

In the first image, I might have been tempted to avoid the building in the background unless it is of significance- such as a relative's house. The 24-70 is my most used lens, but I am certainly ...

Definitely get both. Seriously, I use the 35 more than my 50 Art but I would not be without either. I have a Nikon 85 f1.4 which is excellent too. Come to think of it, I wouldn't be without any of ...

Two things may be at fault here that don't mean the lens is a dud. First, is there a filter on the lens, and could it be dirty? Second, could it be atmosphere? if it is hot, and near water, it ...

It is a very nice lens and your shots are very nice too. IainD

Hi, Matt I think I still recognise some of those bear faces! Glad that the sow in the portrait is still there. She is on my wall in Australia. I

Yep. Sure did.

For a high cost item like a D5 I would not get a grey import. Imagine if it gives out and you have to pack it and send it somewhere to be fixed by service people who may or may not be qualified.. T ...

I agree with Sabrina. Number 2 with a tiny bit more light is really excellent. Congratulations on a top shot! IainD

Thank you. I  have never looked there. I

I use Lightroom, and the Topaz Denoise plug in. Capture One Pro 9 is also good, IainD

It would be worth trying to clean the contacts. It is simple and risk free. Check that the aperture is opening. I think the lens focuses wide open and closes to take the shot. If it doesn't open ...
