I think for casual use, (casual widlife shooters) it would be fine. But for the pro shooters, yeah you're probably going to want something like a 400 or 500 prime or a longer zoom, like the...

One thing I have wished for some time now is if Nikon WOULD put a clicky control ring on these lenses. I mean there are some advantages to a clickless one, but I think in some cases it can be...

There isn't much more (beyond the AF) that I think Nikon really needs to do with the Z6/Z7 gen 2 bodies anyways, as they have fulfilled most of the major requests (dual card slots, USB power and ...

@Do_Ki, true, but some how it seems Viltrox has figured out the Z AF protocols at least.... But I think Laowa also goes more on price too, and when you introduce AF into your design, that adds...

If they didn't expect payment up front, I'd put in an order, and maybe in a year, I'd have the $5500..... However if this is the case with the Z9 having a 1 year wait on pre-orders, then this could ...

The thing is that you never really know when things will go on sale (except we can expect holiday sales between Oct-December usually).  And Nikon has had seasonal sales but the actual sales may ...

Most stores will give you a 30 day price guarantee, with some exceptions (ie. one-day sales, or clearance sales).  I know BestBuy gives you 30 days (and most will give you 30 days or about the ...

I think mainly because the 10-pin round connector is an old connector and not widely used anymore, despite there being a lot of older accessories available for it.

I think it 's to make up for the separate focusing system on the DSLRs, whereas the Z systems don't need it.  It's more the camera than the lens, although some have said they've had to tweak their ...

I think part of the reason they won't is because they aren't really making any new AF-P lenses, and Tamron/Sigma 's price on their versions would be hard to beat (about $700-$800) for the F-mount.

The problem with any platform that the former "Facebook" company creates is it will inherit the legacy of Facebook, even if it's a totally new app or service. People will still associate it with...

Personally, I hope they keep the Z gen 1 bodies around, an take a page from Sony's book and make those the "budget" FF cameras (along with the first gen Z5). And rather than making a new budget...

Plus I think Nikon is listening to customers more than they did in the DSLR days and considering customer requests (the Z5 is a good example of this: USB power, dual card slots, and on the Z II...

Gen 1 bodies perhaps (at least not significant updates beyond lens compatability and bug fixes), but the gen 2 bodies likely will have updates for the next 2-3 years. However I think there will...

I think the "shot noise" in terms of what you see in the EVF (the grain) has more to do with the actual lighting conditions and the camera's ability to AF, not so much the lens used.  However your ...

OK but then that means we basically can't fly drones because birds may be present 10 ft above my head. I mean seriously. I haven't really heard about birds being slaughtered by drones if that's...

A screwdriver adapter may also add to the bulk, and in some cases, may not be feasible with the clearances on the Z bodies in general due to the mount diameter (or it may have to have a bulge on ...

To an extent, you don't want to throw EVERYTHING into your first attempt. I know this sounds a bit foolish, but it's actually a little smart from a marketing standpoint. The Z9 gives us enough of ...

And maybe they will do an 8-15 or 8-12mm ultra wide at some point.  Either way, it's not a big issue for me, and I'd take 12mm over the 16mm any day especially on crop sensor because the ...

One place I wish they would let you use a drone is in NPs. Maybe make it so the drone has to be higher (this may require an additional permit for example, and adjustments to FAA regulation about...
