The one thing you can save is the build-in motor inside the FTZ to move the lens aperture mechanically. Most likely you'll miss that on AF/AF-D lenses, but you save a bit of bulk: the bump at the ...

How about the mechanical aperture coupling? Besides no electronic contacts, I suppose a lot of these third-party adapters also cannot control the apertures on the lens. (While the FTZ has a little ...

For still photography, I think the 24-70mm/f4 S is fine, as I do have longer lenses, but for video, the 70mm end is a bit of a limitation as I would like to zoom closer. One option for that is to ...

Congrats on the new Z6. To answer your original question, the only way to find out is to get one. I can't speak for you, but I like my Z6 very much, although it has its share of shortcomings. That ...

For example, if one shoots 100 pictures of moving subjects and two are in focus, and they posts those two pictures, IMO that is not "evidence" of great AF results. I have some good birds in flight ...

I have been to Botswana and South Africa once back in 2016. In fact, our tour guide is the same one Thom uses year after year. During those two weeks, the guide and I talked about Thom Hogan quite ...

As a practical lens for photography, the 58mm/f0.95 almost makes no sense at all. From images of prototypes Nikon provides, this is going to be a huge lens, as expected, with a tripod collar. Last ...

The Nikon official Z-lens roadmap is the one re-posted by DPReview: There are four to-be-announced lenses for 2020 and then seven more for 2021. Any additional entries are just fake, for the sole ...

Totally agree that the 24-35mm range is important. In fact, I would much rather have 24-70 than 28-70 as that extra 4mm is quite critical. The longer end can easily be covered by something like a ...

Up to and including the D800/D800e, all Nikon FX DSLRs were made in Japan. Not sure this was entirely true, but Nikon announced the D800 in February 2012, merely months after the major flood in ...

My initial reaction is that the 120-300mm/f2.8 E lens will be close to US$10K. I would say US$9000, +-$1000 should be a good estimate. 300mm is on the short side for wildlife photography. There is ...

I think it is the rumor site that needs web traffic and therefore fabricated an updated roadmap. Everybody else is just picking the rumor up to create traffic for themselves. To some, it may be fun...

One reason companies keep their future plans secret is to protect current sales. Read about the Osborne Effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_effect Nikon's 2018 lens roadmap was an ...

Rumor sites will post whatever rumor that brings traffic to their sites so that they can make money. They don’t verify their rumors; they don’t care about accuracy and their reputation. As I ...

I believe both Ellis and I have occasionally signed NDA with Nikon to help post new-product information at a very specific launch time. Nikon is extremely precise about the timing, to the exact ...

Yes, Nikon has explicitly pointed out that they will provide firmware upgrades for all Nikon bodies that use XQD cards and are currently in production to be CFx Type B compatible. That includes ...

Incidentally, today Canon announces the C500 Mark II video cam: https://www.dpreview.com/news/7855612854/canon-announces-c500-mark-ii-camera-and-a-39k-reference-monitor That new cam has three ...

Recall that Nikon introduced the D5 and D500 on January 6, 2016, and both cameras can use XDQ memory cards. Back then in early 2016, I made a series of screen captures of XQD card prices at B&H to ...

My initial reaction was that it is merely a typo. However, I just checked SanDisk's own web site: https://www.sandisk.com/home/memory-cards/cfast/extremepro-cfexpress-card Scroll to the bottom of ...
