My testing should be complete next week (if my fancy t.1 light meter arrives on time, I'm testing that as well), it will be interesting to compare numbers. For output, I setup the light meter at 5 ...

In Canada, no more than 10% of the carrying costs of a house may be expensed without imperiling the tax-free status of the primary residence.  At least, that's what an accountant told me. In other ...

The description - at least on Amazon - says it's compatible with the Nikon Z9, and the card label says "4K 120P" and "8K RAW". I think not. Installed the recommended Kioxia BG5 1TB 2230 M.2 NVMe ...

IBIS or not, 6 seconds would require statue-like holding. Really, bring a tripod. And the claimed 8 stops is most likely a fantasy: https://petapixel.com/2016/09/26/olympus-says-earths-rotation-lim ...

+1 on that, just finished working through it I believe he also suggested running the viewfinder at 120fps, as that creates more data for the focus system. And he suggested a button mapping to ...

Two shots: one in the (empty) aisle with motion blur, another in studio with white background. Get him and the buggy sharp, cutout, et voila.  Or try clamping the camera to the buggy with VR on... ...

Perhaps with a VML ?  That's a cord, just a short one.

Works for me too, because I see it as less negative space and more leading lines taking us to the eyes.  Also it plays off of the hair on the right, lending balance.

On the Z9 it's a11/ "AF-C in-focus display"

Perfect, thank you for cutting through 2000+ pages of docs.

I have the same question, and either their is no answer or I missed it in the 900+ page manual and the Thom Hogan 1200+ page guide. Hoping there is an answer, so bumping this back up.

Not in my experience. No, not eventually.  Likely immediately.  Even going from one body to a different, nearly-identical body can be problematic. It might be.  But it might be just Astroturf.

Thank you Richard, very helpful.

My motivations are 1) comparing reliability of claims to 'reality' (which depends on the test protocols) 2) comparing two brands / flashes 3) confidence in equipment - can I get by on the battery, ...

Thanks!  I've contacted him.

My Japan stories are good.  I find the sellers to be disclosative, polite, friendly, and quick to ship.

Good news, especially since it counters KolariVision's assessment.

Maybe.  I am going to compare the claimed and actual number of flashes from battery-power studio strobes.  I just need to know if there is a standard test method and what that might be, in order ...

You can do good indoor portrait work with bouncing and an on-camera light like the Nikon SB-700, available new or used at very reasonable prices. If you want to move the light off-camera, the ...

You might consider a Camdapter handstrap. RRS and Kirk plates come with a built-in connector for them.  I use one on a gripped D850 to good effect.  Hand can be loose in the strap and the camera is ...
