Well as I do have smaller hands, my take is that as long as you don't make the grip deeper and/or wider at the same time the only real drawback is that it makes the camera larger overall. ...

"The end result isn't going to convince anyone if they look too closely (the processing has cut-off some of the fine hairs, for instance)"

Well if anyone looks closely the skin texture says "phone...

Don't know the official figure, but as the APS-C sensor is ~2/3 of the linear dimensions of FF, its area is ~4/9. So based on that I'd expect about 10 MP.

OK, that's easy. The post I was replying to talked about the lens being large because it was "2.8 fixed". Whenever people talk about a "fixed aperture" they are referring to a zoom, because for a...

Well as it's not a zoom it's not really 2.8 "fixed".

As for price, other Irix lenses are competitively priced. And as it's manual focus and without optical stabilisation I'd expect it would cost...

That's not universal either: in my country most bulbs use bayonet fitments, and those that do use screw mounts come in 2 sizes ;). Let's wait and see. At the moment all we have is marketing, which ...

Another way of looking at it: all of the Nikkors you've listed will work fine on the Z6, and at present there is no indication that the F mount ones perform any worse with the FTZ than they do on ...

Do you mean the "can't turn VR off because there isn't a menu setting" issue? That shouldn't matter with the FX version as that still has a switch for VR on the lens. Otherwise Nikon claim that ...

Apple do kind of invite it: they just announced that this year's entry level phone will be 25% more expensive than last year's, but are still too cheap to include a fast charger in the box and ...

Three of the terms you use, smaller, thinner and lighter, would definitely be pros in my book. While the D850 is a fine photographic tools its size is very unappealing to me, whereas the fact that ...

But that's only because you are prioritising reach (and conversely making wider angles harder). OK, that's what you want, but it's the only thing that your small sensor is giving you. And to my ...

So it's not just me! :) I used an Olympus OM1 and OM2 from the 70s to early 2000s (passed the OM2 on but never parting with the OM1), and while I can manage mounting and dismounting lenses from my ...

Actually those of us for whom English, as opposed to American English, is a first language will also say Zed ;). And conversely I've met people who learned English as a second language who speak ...

Whenever people discuss Z mount APS-C the argument is "the Z mount is too large for a small camera". Yet you are proposing an even smaller sensor using the same mount. I think that there are two ...

In another highly-contested market, smartphones, Sony iterate at twice the speed of anyone else. But there it is seen as a disadvantage, since by the time you can get your hands on the latest ...

The problem with the survey is that it asks whether I use both slots, not how I use them. So my answer was "yes", but since I only use the second slot for overflow its importance to me is much ...

The FTZ makes perfect sense. If you don't have it there's no more reason, apart from ergonomic familiarity, for a Nikon DSLR owner to buy a Z6 or Z7 than a Canon R, and arguably less reason than ...

Actually he said the opposite: "Nikon is going to install in-body VR and in-lens VR in the Z and the F line, respectively." F line is DSLR, so he's saying that DSLRs will only have in-lens VR.

Technically I don't think it is the Z mount if you increase the flange focal distance. It would be something different (ZX?) that happened to have the same bayonet and electrical connections as the Z.
