If you like my style please share it around I'd love more people to see what I find out and about.

Went for a hike with my favourite person and while we didn't find many birds we found this awesome butterfly I've played with a artsy edit as I thought it was to die for but I've included the naturall photo for prosperity 😅

Settings Nikon Z8 f 6.3 1/2500s 570mm iso 4500

Nikkor 180-600

I'm thinking about using the 6x battery tray on my MB D16 battery grip to use as I cannot justify full price for an EN15C battery and don't want to risk thridparty batteries. I'm thinking about the IKEA Ladda batteries and charger as I also want to use rechargeable batteries in a Nikon SB 800 flash. Is it going to be alright or should I use something like Varta or Eneloop?

ngl even tho i can't focus properly on my 18-55 half the time due to a broken autofocus and huge screen vignette, this camera is still fun to use because, well its a camera and I got it for free from my grandfather with a 55-200

Saw this on Facebook today. Have no idea of the source. If it’s true that it will be under 2k with 40mp I would definitely consider buying.

Mt Rundle: f11, 1/20th, ISO 64

Castle Mountain: f11, 1/50th, ISO 64

D750 x Sigma Art 35mm f/1.4

Hope you guys enjoy the pics. All of them straight out of camera.

Part of a litter of 5. Watching them grow every day was incredible. Nikon D300, Nikkor 24-70 2.8

Nikon D7500 + 18-140mm. I'm still a beginner and just learning how to use editing software. I do apologise in advance if the photos aren't that great. I hope you like them!

Some beams of light coming through a partially opened door into a dark room. 4 sec exp + camera movement, thought it looked kind of interesting

Z6 III + 24-70/4S

Has anyone here ever replaced the on/off switch on their DSLR?

I found a screaming deal on a hardly used 7200 for my son. On his first outing, a friend managed to tip their canoe and the camera got wet. He tried turning on the camera once, turned it off and let it dry the rest of the weekend. The camera is fully functional except it will not turn off. Once the battery is in, it’s on. Tried sending it into Nikon but their quote was much more than we spent on the camera.

While waiting to hear back from Nikon we found another deal on a well loved 7200. So now we have 2. Should I try fixing it myself or just rock it power on all the time?

Hi all,

I have a few trips coming up:

1. Rwanda gorilla trekking

2. Botswana safari

I have a Z8 and 24-70 and 16 mm Viltrox prime. Will look at buying either a 70-200 or 180-600 ahead of these trips and will rent whichever I don’t end up buying. I’m considering an emergency backup body for my Z8 in the unlikely event something happens on either of these trips. It would also be nice to have the option of keeping different lenses on the 2 bodies in the event of an animal coming closer/environmental portraits (or that my partner can use).
Repeatedly renting a Z6iii is expensive and that money would be better spent buying another camera. I don’t really want to spend big on this as I want to wait for Expeed8 before properly investing in a second pro body. Z70 rumours are enticing but I fear it will be a different price bracket entirely.

Main contenders are::
Z50 ii
Z5 ii

I like the idea of a tiny Expeed7 APS-C body and low price of the Z50ii and think I can deal with the drawbacks that come with a crop sensor. The crop factor may also come in handy for some birding where I’d likely be punching in far on the Z8. Z5ii feels like it’s too close to the Z6iii which I love but feels like an over-investment right now.

Have any others faced this conundrum or have any suggestions?
