    What should I expect to pay for renting the Z 600 f/4 TC?

    I just started using the 600pf so I doubt very much if I'd ever purchase the f/4 version. BUT, I would love to experience the f/4 in different situations so I can get a feel for if/when I'd rent it for different trips. Lots of options for renting the big dog so I'm curious as to how much I...

    USB-C PD Regulation in the EU: implications for Cameras etc

    Basically, pending EU trade law will restrict sales of electronic devices, reliant on an internal battery, to only those that can be charged internally via USB-C (ie Power Delivery). Basically, this means cameras can only be sold if they can charged with a plug in USB-C PD cable. Several current...

    Nikon Z8/Z9 Recall Shooting Functions

    Hi, all. Two months ago I jumped from Sony to Nikon for a number of reasons, lens selection being the primary reason. The ONE thing I truly miss is the three Custom Shoot Sets that Sony offers (and I'd take more of this invaluable tool); Nikon offers only one. I exhort you to contact Nikon to...

    Mother Brown Bear Feeding Cubs-Lake Clark Alaska

    I believe a Z-9 is as good a pro camera as any. After having it for over a year, I know the menu and settings inside and out. Thanks to Steve Perry initially and then lots of perseverance. It's worth it. It's a great tool if you know how to use it and the combinations and creative choices one...

    Nikon Z9 software 4.0 slow motion video corrupting

    Hi everyone, I recently purchased a Nikon Z9 and excitedly updated it to the 4.0 version of the software. That's the most up-to-date as far as I'm aware. I've had it "freeze" on me twice so far, which I'm not too concerned about (maybe I should be). But I've noticed a bug on a few different...

    Nikon Z8 Overheating in Camera Mode

    Has anyone heard if Nikon will be addressing the overheating issue in camera shooting mode? I experienced this (yes it was hot outside), but only taking small bursts of like 5pfs maybe 10fps. And not for like 10 or 20 at a time.

    Debating a switch to Sony mirrorless from Nikon DSLR

    Hello, as per the title I'm deciding on my next move in equipment, I'm currently "in-between" my big lens, and as I am relatively new and don't have an endless pocket I can only really afford upgrades far apart. My setup was a D500 and an older 500mm prime, but as the big lens has been returned...

    Which Nikon Prime?

    I’m currently a Canon shooter but I’m not particularly happy with the camera and lenses for wildlife. I have a R6 mark II, RF 100-500, 1.4 extender, and 800 f11. I’m looking for a stacked sensor, higher mp, and better glass, so Nikon sounds like a a good choice, particularly with the...

    Super Telephoto Zoom(s) in the Future: 300-700mm?

    Beware - this a speculative post ;):) .... One gap in the telephoto options of Nikon's Greater Ecosystem is a super telephoto zoom [chart / map appended for comparisons]. Yes, there's the roadmapped 200-600 in Z-mount but as it stands it's not a S Line optic, so we have zero clue about its...

    Nikon Z 400 f4.5 with 1.4x TC vs 500 pf questions!?

    Hi folks, I currently own a Nikon 500 pf that I pair with Z9. I am considering switching to Z 400 f4.5 with 1.4x TC after selling the 500PF. A few Youtube reviews that I have seen suggest that the 400 f4.5 with 1.4x tc in place is considerably sharper than the 500 pf with the added benefit of...
