    Nikon Z* mirrorless

    This one seems OK and runs from a mobile charger which for me is a plus. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BLVWWYYT?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

    That's the last time I use that shampoo.....

    Great image, but I think it might look better cropped to landscape (without the Coot), the whites look a little blue on my screen (might be me). Love the light in the eye...

    Scheduled image capture?

    I am trying to build a system that can record either short videos (20 seconds) or image sequences 200 images at 20 fps. I would like to use a preprogrammed schedule, so I can capture 4-5 videos a day at a remote camera location. The site is remote, no power, wifi or mobile phone reception. I can...

    Any Recommendations for a 100w GAN charger?

    https://www.anker.com/uk/products/a2343-100w-usb-c-charger?ref=naviMenu&variant=44532379058340 I have the 67w version and it just works. I assume it will be in a 'sale' next week.

    CF vs XQD memory cards?

    These were the best value I could find a few weeks ago, now using them in a Z7 and Z9 without any issues. https://www.scan.co.uk/products/512gb-angelbird-av-pro-cfexpress-se-type-b-memory-card-1785mb-s-read-850mb-s-write

    The GAS confessional - all who suffer are welcome. :)

    Slowly trading my Nikon F kit for Z, the new 70-180 so far is proving to be excellent. Only had it for a few days but it will a great partner for a 24-70, it is a managable weight and will be a really nice landscape lens.

    TC on Nikon Nikkor 200-400/f4

    I had a 200-400 mkI which I traded for a 500 f4 vr (I now have a 500 pf). Of the two I miss the 200-400 more, it was a really great hide lens, the zoom makes it flexible and it was really sharp up close. I am almost temped to look for another, would make a great video lens. It worked OK with a...

    Why mac

    You also need to think where you are going to use this laptop, a 17" gaming machine is no fun to carry and will have a much shorter battery life than any Mac. Universities are not very good at supply power outlets. Personally I would wait until I started the course, for no other reason than this...
