I have doubts on the DX line as well, as far as support goes. The only reason I tried it is because I can currently use adapters that I can use my current lenses, and even the Sony lenses as well ...

Then you are NOT qualified to answer the original question in this thread.  If you read the OP it wasn't  "why didn't the camera focus on this one photo" (there wasn't even a photo posted). It was ...

Goodness, I've said multiple times I could improve with the Z50. I don't know how to say it any different. YES I expected better results with a single point AF in AFC....so there is a better mode. ...

In my original post that was the point I was trying to make, and thought we might have some good insight into the camera technology, and I could learn something about that. I purposely didn't post ...

But there is better, so why not investigate it? My DSLRs are good enough for my photography, but I see some advantages with mirrorless and want to explore that to. Is that wrong? What's wrong with ...

You guys are still SO stuck on one photo Did you see the photo I posted taken literally a second later of the same exact bike, coming through the corner, so literally same exact conditions and it ...

Your post was well thought out advice

I will certainly give that a read. It's funny, but I was hoping that putting the word "honestly" in the thread title would show my intentions...which were to learn about how these cameras work. ...

You're making a LOT of assumptions here, without asking first. And that seems to be a big problem on the forum. I think you have good intentions so I'll respond. First you're correct, 1/320 is to ...

I should have NEVER posted any photos They were NEVER meant to be direct comparisons of ANY kind. IF I showed you a missed nikon shot in perfect conditions would it change anybodys mind....probably ...

If you saw this photo before PP it isn't as extreme. Lots of contrast added, bumped white balance. Pulled the shadows big time on the low side of the bikes. Saturation added. Nobody wants a boring ...

YES...100% true! BUT, some systems will handle it better than others. And if I want to shoot in those conditions why not choose the best tool? I do a lot of moto shots that I try to incorporate ...

And that is exactly how I shoot 90% of my landscape and static shots....and I'm very happy with the Z50 results.The only time I move the single focus point from center is generally if I'm on a ...

. Yeah I really should practice more. Obviously there's no difference in cameras, I just need to learn how to shoot bikes. I don't claim to be an expert at motorsport photography, but I've done my ...

This was the sort of conversation I was hoping to get into when starting this thread :) Thank you, Good insights

I think we're posting at the same time here lol And yes I'm aware it isn't showing actual exposure...I don't want it to when panning through a shadow, it's to easy for me to lose view of subject. t ...

oh, I see you did see my reply   :) Never thought about this but will try. In all fairness though I never needed to on the Sony and I'm really careful about clipping highlights there as it doesn't ...

Not sure you saw my reply to this same post..... I have settings applied to live view turned off, so I'm always "seeing" a well lit view in the monitor. You've tried this and I haven't. so do you ...

Interesting article and I can see where that makes a difference But now I'll throw a loop into that. Assuming that article is correct, then  say Aperture being a constant,  it says if the  subject  ...

I haven't tried any modern Canon. I guess the old saying is true, the best you've tried is the best you know :)
