    D7500 Change Rotation of command dials

    I pulled my D7500 out over the weekend as I wanted a lighter weight camera to carry. I noticed that then I rotated both the command dial and the subcommand dial, the results were opposite of my Z9. Front dial, rotating clockwise, meaning I'm turning the dial towards the outside of the camera...

    Baffled: Nikkor Z 400mm "anti-theft" cable question

    I know this must be a hopelessly noob question, but I'm completely stumped. I think I've finally figured out all the other bells and whistles of my lens, but I am baffled by this. The lens manual states: "13 Security slot (for anti-theft cable) Attach a third party anti-theft cable. For more...

    3rd party Z9 batteries (EN-EL18D) [UK]

    EDIT: Bought a Nikon battery Hi all, Does anyone have any experience of good 3rd-party battery/dual charger brands? I'm looking for a spare battery for my Z9. Or, is it just worth the extra 40-50% cost to buy first-party? Thanks.

    Keep My Nikon Setup Or Move On?

    I am in a "tough" spot right now. First world problems. I have GAS pretty bad so I am always buying new gear I have a really nice Nikon setup right now and am trying to decide if I want to stick it out or move to an R5 or a A7RV. I know it might sound kind of dumb but that's just how my brain...

    Great Cormorant

    I was at a breeding spot of the great cormorant in Türkiye this week with literally over a thousand cormorants busy making nests. So, out came the Z8 with the 600mm PF to practise on BIF and pretty happy with the result. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53619975366_83c4a09f33_h.jpg

    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...
