You’re talking about a completely different type of system there. My argument is about an equivalent setup with equivalent sensor size. If weight were absolutely essential I’d just take a phone, but obviously there’s a major compromise in image quality there. On the other hand a full frame...

Well that’s boring. If I’m somewhere with car access I’d rather stay in a hotel tbh ;).

500g off the tent, 500g off the sleeping bag, 500g off the bag, 500g off the tripod, 500g off the camera, 200g off one lens... If you want to lug heavy stuff around for no real reason then go for it. Personally I enjoy going light. Theres also the issue with carry on luggage. A lot of smaller...

Obviously everyone has their own interpretation of light enough, but for me the fact the Z6 is half the weight of a D850 an the 24-70 f2.8Z is 200g less than the G makes it a big draw. For multi day hiking I try and keep my pack below 13kg wet. So dropping 700g on just one camera and lens is...

The deciding factor for me is size. I want something the same size or smaller than the current camera, which means either a D7500 of a FF mirrorless. The lenses on the Z are quite often smaller and lighter than their G mount equivalents. It all depends on what you want. We do a lot of hiking...

In very close to grabbing a Z6. Am I right in thinking there are only a few small incremental updates between the 6 and 6ii? The biggest difference seems to be the dual card slots, in camera charging and built in intervalometer, while the dual processor seems to be there mainly to significantly...

Thanks for the replies. I think I’ve decided on a pair of Z6’s as there’s a bunch of good deals on them right now. We’ll swap our everyday lenses to Z mount and then use adaptors on the longer lenses. It’s a shame the Z6 doesn’t have dual SD slots like the 5, but otherwise it should pretty much...

I have the C, which I chose over the sport because I wanted something “small” when I didn’t want to lug a 120-300 f/2.8 around. One thing I find is that the weight is better for carrying, but actually detrimental for hand holding. I haven’t tried the Sport, so it may actually be different, but...

I've been out of the equipment game for a while so don't really know what's new out there in the way of camera options. Myself and my spouse currently have D7000's with a bunch of Nikon and Sigma lenses (everything from 35mm primes to 120-300 f/2.8), but are now looking to upgrade the cameras...

We are heading out to Guatemala for a couple of weeks in 2 weeks time and haven't quite decided where we want to go when we're there. Interested mostly in wildlife, ruins and volcanoes. Has anyone been and/or recommend locations, especially for wildlife? At the moment we are probably going to...

Do you have a custom frame builder near you? You should be able to get 22x18 frames for less than £20. Not the cheapest but definitely worth it over frames that don't fit properly or cheap frames. You should gat a choice of dozens of frames as well.

Any good? I'm looking for a lightbox and there are so many brands out there it's difficult to tell what is good and what is not. With that in mind is VeriVide any good?

On holiday in Africa we had to take a bush taxi/4x4 from one town to another. The road gets very boggy and the water deep for a fair part of it. When the water goes over the bonnet you need a snorkel obviously. These guys use parcel tape and a plastic tube, removing the air filter and fitting it...
