It is not. I have to purchase a card reader. I overlooked the fact my 6 slot reader wouldn't have the slot for the new cards when I bought the camera.

After all the replies, this was pretty much my conclusion about seeing the U1 and U2 up. I'm going to spend some time this weekend setting these things up based on a combo of videos/suggestions I ...

Awesome thanks for pointing me in that direction. Makes me want it even more honestly.

I think there is probably a right place for all the options. You are right about the smoothing and I have heard the NR setting mentioned a lot elsewhere so this is definitely debated plus/minus ...

I have been practicing this a bit. Won't really be able to test daylight till the weekend with it being dark by the time I leave work.

You hit the nail on the head with budget. The FTZ adapter was only $50 with the body only purchase. I had researched and I understood the trade offs with the expectation that I could purchase a Z ...

Also, as I head to hit the hay, this is a couple photos from today. I did cap the ISO and for now that has helped me start to reel things in. I will look at uncapping especially when I do have a ...

This was what was happening for me but to the extreme. I am not ashamed to say that I just went in without any consideration of what the features of this camera were vs my old one. I went and took ...

Thank you for the reply. I took some more tonight and did have to run up the ISO to compensate for the low light. I guess I unfortunately need to invest in at least one new lens to help because ...

I definitely went back and read and watched some more videos after the comments. I took some decent photos tonight in the house of him. I'll have to work on lighting more or figure something out ...

Also one more of the triangles from earlier. The difference is night and day. Thank you Thank you everyone. I know at least from here I can start to learn the camera and get better from here.

Awesome, Thank you for the advice. Now that I am signed up here I'll lurk more and I guess try to post/reply weekly.

I do know what the A/S/P modes are and I know how to adjust with my old camera and have read about them all a fair amount. I just really was trusting the camera. Mostly because as I mentioned in ...

I just went out and did just this. It is overcast and dim, but the quality is obviously there. I appreciate all the replies and I think I just got a bit worried after spending money on a camera ...

I am a novice for sure and as I replied to a few others I thought maybe I just lacked an understanding of this camera and why it was defaulting to such high ISO settings. The higher shutter speed ...

I appreciate the comment. Should I just turn the auto ISO off completely or just set a max? I thought that was the issue, but I don't understand why that high of ISO is defaulted as auto? Is that ...

I did consider this as the problem, but thought maybe I was unknowledgeable in how this newer camera worked and why in Auto Mode not changing anything it tries to constantly run up to this high ...

I bought a new Z6 to upgrade from my D300. I bought the camera after reading reviews and lurking around and it seemed to be an all around solid camera. Also, unlike my D300 which I can get great ...
