Focus Shift Shooting

If that were true then wouldn't a D7200 crop look better on any equivalent scenario. Wouldn't it be better than the D500? And wouldn't it be better than the D850 on DXCrop? But it isn't. So there's ...

Your situation makes sense then. The Sony is probably the best camera in mirrorless, but it has a big lead. I think Nikon did well out of the gate. For me though, there's no reason to upgrade yet.

Well, noise is better than the D850; but it's not much better. And with the banding issues with these cameras, (which while not terrible) there's no point in buying up yet.

I'll wait for Z version 2.

I'm having trouble understanding a 89% score with a camera that has banding problems, bad low-light AF, as well as the 1 slot and the battery juice issue. Remember 89% is supposed to suggest that...

The D500 is equivalent to 220-900mm, the D850 has higher resolution so you can crop into the frame to make it quite close to the same. I had the D500 and I sold it. I can't see what the D500 does ...

It's not identified as gray market. On B&H it's Import. Anyway, post a pic of your warranty card. It's not a belief, it's reality. NOBODY sold that camera for that low of a price. Not the USA model ...

Yeah, okay. So the way this works is that Adorama sells both USA and Import models. So does B&H, Tristate, and others. They are almost never up front about this. You have to look hard. It isn't ...

That was a really good post. Thanks. I still believe in brand-name accessories to go with my brand-name equipment.

I don't respect *YOU*, when you insult me and then request my respect. So the answer to that, for you, is no. - As to the rest of your diatribe, it's the same for me as it is for you; I'm ...

It's not about intelligence. The D850 camera itself is just a camera which in time won't have very much value. Do you still look at your pictures from the camera you owned a decade ago? I rarely ...

It's happened twice with the D850, so far. They say they did this and that, fix a minor bug, etc; but then people would say, hey my 3rd party grip isn't working anymore after the firmware. Twice!

You seem angry that I have money... (IN THE TOP TIER NIKON FORUM!!!!). Anyway, this is what I've been saying all along. If you can't afford all of the name-brand accessories you want and have to go ...

They might outsource the work, but they definitely are fully engaged with anything they are going to slap a logo onto. And I'd much rather have equipment that is specifically designed for the ...

You don't seem to know much about photography for being in a photography forum.

The P1000 is a marketing camera- nothing more.

Of course it's impractical... for practically everything.

It would be like having a very long zoom lens with an "ok" camera attached to it. Moon shots would be ASTOUNDING! Right now, they are...

Oh I know what I'm talking about alright.

It's far, far, far different to make a wide to tele than it is just all really far tele. Very doable. Far easier than what they did actually. It's just...

It sounds like the sensor is like a fabric that reacts as a whole when given an electric charge to be "on". In a traditional read sensor, there are rows of circuits giving power to the sensor so...

They could have easily made a 500-3000mm 1" sensor camera.

They didn't want to make a good camera.

Those moon shots look terrible.

My DSLR moon shots look normal and natural. The P1000 looks awful!
I would feel confident in making a large print with my DSLR, but I wouldn't even bother with the...
