The ultimate solution is to send to Nikon for repair. However, the cost of repair will likely exceed the cost of a 2nd hand replacement. It's possible the VR is on (and broken) even though you ...

Open a repair job and send to Nikon for a quote. In the worst case you reject the quote, and have paid for shipping a paperweight.

Have a Lumix FZ70 which I bought for the equivalent of 55€. The long reach and lens stabilization is very good. It has a BSI sensor. Burst shooting is poor by today's standards. I believe the FZ80 ...

It is autumn here, but a flush of warm weather has given us a late crop of borage flowers. D3300 + 85mm DX micro

Nikon D3300 + 85mm DX micro lens

I am not a Z shooter yet, but you could weigh up what you can get by avoiding the FTZ... People say the 16-50 and 50-250 mm kit is excellent so I would get that. You could sell the 35mm f1.8 and ...

Lovely images. There seems to be a lot of D5100 on the used market, so you could get another one. But I would get at least D5200 because it had a substantial improvement in specs/performance and is ...

Amazon are also brokers for 3rd party (grey market) sellers. You have to be careful you are not buying from those sellers (unless that is your intention).

I had the same experience trying to buy some basic studio lighting stands & umbrellas from them a while back. I think they have a bit of a reputation for this. I had no trouble getting a refund in ...

You can check the manuals - even for higher end DSLRs, the bit rate for 1080p 30fps video remained at 24Mbps - doubling for 60fps modes.

Sometimes the newer Nikon camera firmware is not compatible with this lens. The same thing happened to me and I returned the item, because I had no way to confirm whether it was working. However ...

If you want to hang on to that Sigma lens, I would not rule out the D5600, which is a small camera that would be a significant upgrade on your current setup. With Z50 + FTZ , it might be worth ...

I believe D3100 is a 14MP camera, so you can take it off the list.

D600 + 70-300mm AF-P FX

I am not sure how fast the AF is on the Tamron lens. But no, the D3xxx  series is not for BIF. The AF is not up to the task. (I am sure someone could provide a counter example). D5600 - perhaps.

If you happen to use TTL flash for events & portraits, I would avoid D3xxx. I've found there is a longer delay between pre-flash and main flash, and can cause blinking in some people. (I did ...

I use one of those ultralight 15L travel backpacks that fold down into their own pocket, and a padded insert that I got from ebay. This is Australian product but there must be equivalents elsewhere: ...

Nikon 18-35mm AF-S is the value-for-money wide angle lens on full frame, but it's not so wide on DX.
