Given the D610 is starting to give you problems and you are using it for business purposes, it is a no brainer that it needs to be replaced. Your Nikon choices would be, another new D610, NOS ...

I use CS5 and it won't recognize my D850 .nef files.  I convert my .nef files to .dng with the free adobe converter.  These files contain all the uncompressed data just like raw but are a bit ...

I have a 300mm f/4 and I use a Nikon 1.4 TC with it and it works just fine.  I also have a Kenco that was about 1/3 the price and it works almost as well and is compatible with more lenses.

The only thing I can think of is that with the shutter speed and auto aperture selected, iso 10,000 isn't enough.  Look at the exposure scale at the bottom of the viewfinder.  It is in the center ...

I've used a D750 and now have a D850. I like the D850 over the D750 because I can crop more and it has a few more features that I really like. But, for general family/wedding photography? Nah, ...

From what I know about these cameras, at baseline iso I would give the nod to the Z6/Z7 but at high iso I would give the nod to the D5/D6.  The available Z series cameras are more of a general ...

I like a remote when I'm taking groups or portraits.  Another great use for one is when you taking a group and YOU have to be in the group.  As a hs band director I used this a lot.  As for ...

I love my Z50 but I think I'll hang onto my D850 a little while longer.

From what I have read, the latest Lightroom reads the embedded camera settings that are in the Nikon .nef files. I'm still using LR5 which won't even read my D850-Z50 .nef files so I either ...

I stand corrected.  If you are using a tripod and focusing rail, manual focus makes a lot of sense.  As for using it hand held for bugs in the wild, it will be a bit of a drag.  As we have ...

I do that from time to time as well.  I use cap one and convert to tiff and then edit with LR and PS.

If you want to have Nikon color and absolute control, as Tom Hogan writes, you have to use Nikon software.  I use a combination of Nikon Capture one, LR and PS but, that's me. The latest Light room ...

Have you tried using the Portrait color control setting?  It uses a lower sharpness setting which may be more to your liking.  You can adjust this yourself if you shoot RAW and minimize the ...

I'm confused.  I have a 105 micro, the FTZ and a Z-50.  The 105 micro will AF just fine on my Z50 but you say it doesn't AF on your Z5???  I wonder why.

If they would come out with a Z-10-20 DX, I would be happy

I have a pretty complete Godox system TT685N, XProN commander, pr of X1R triggers, and 2 SM300 AC monolites.  I also use a Flashpoint (Adorama rebranded Godox) Mini with my Z50.  In addition I ...

Like others have written, the lens will add most of the weight.  I've used my D850 with a 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 and the weight was minimal but, with my 70-200 f/2.8 it is more of a handful.

DX offers about 1 more stop DoF over FX.  That is because to get the same FoV as a 24mm FX you would need a 16mm DX.  And the DoF of the 16mm at f/4 would be like the 24mm FX at f/5.6.  I use a ...
