My friend has the Z5II and it's a great camera, especially for it's price. The Nikon 100-400mm Z is a direct replacement and a great lens, unfortunately it would be a bit above your budget. You could maybe get the Nikon 180-600mm for close to your budget, whiles it's another great value bit of...

I contacted Adobe to change to yearly pricing months and months ago and they cancelled my account. It took a LOT of back and forth to even get it back up a running, never mind getting the expiry date back to somewhere close to its original. I have zero confidence in getting the monthly 20GB plan...

They're few and far between. I just feel their business practices are to extract as much as possible from their customer base and I'll not be party to that. I was happy enough paying for the photography package at £10 a month, they then decided that wasn't enough and was increasing the price by...

My 20GB Lightroom and Photoshop stacked codes finally ends March 2027 I'll be moving to lightroom only after buying a 12 month code from Amazon for £58.75 I know I've lost photoshop, but I rarely used it. Adobe on the other hand has lost over 50% of what I would have continued to pay, had they...

I've the Nikon 2.0TC Z and have used it with the 180-600mm. For me focus acquisition had a notable hit, loss of image quality and increase in chromatic aberration meant it probably wasn't a great purchase to use with the 180-600mm. I think to get the best out of it, you need to be using it with...

It doesn't appeal to me either. I'd much prefer the Z5ii.

Money constraints is one I had more so when I started in digital photography, I simply couldn't afford to upgrade. This meant I had no other option than to hold on to a camera, until such time when I could fully justify a replacement. I think my Nikon D90 was my longest serving camera.

I wouldn't be jumping into the Z7 as it's older tech and the focusing isn't great for anything that moves. The Z8 is epic, but a big jump in size and tech from the D3300. Something like the Z5II or even the Z50II, might be better suited. Both are very good cameras.

I like the way she's learnt to fake being impressed at the right gear or the right moment lol.

I've had them 3 years now and they're still like new, battery lasts a very long time and they're well built They have a simple to navigate menu, nothing fancy like the neewer ones look to have. I like them but there's a few things that irk me about them. The clamp/mount isn't the best, you can...

I have a couple of Godox ones. I think they're quite similar, although the Neewer ones aren't as powerful but have a greater colour temperature range, from memory. I went with Godox because of the extra power.

It's a great camera, I had one for a short time. It was stolen and got the D810 soon after. It can suffer from a left AF point failing, causing soft images when using that point and they were known for having a slightly green tint on the LCD. I wouldn't say it's a fast camera at 4fps in FX...

I've been experiencing subject detection focusing difficulties with my Z8. Last week I done an outdoor portrait shoot and found it difficult to eye track, even it switching to just the face was unreliable. Using 24-70 f/2.8 S, eye/face detect enabled. Last night in good light I also had...

Get yourself a monopod or gimbal for a tripod, let it take all the weight.
