    Beginner Beginner Nikon for the missus?

    Have a look at the D5500. I had one of these and took some reasonable architectural images with a 10-20mm DX lens.

    Good speakers for a desktop pC

    I use a pair of PreSonus-Eris-3-5-Gen-Studio-Quality powered speakers and would recommend them. I have them mounted on these stands to improve the bass response and elevate them to ear level: https://www.gear4music.com/Recording-and-Computers/Desk-Clamp-Monitor-Speaker-Stands-by-Gear4music/2SIC

    Advice on Camera Gear for Nature Photography

    As you are already a Nikon user you might like to consider a Z50 II twin lens kit that you can get within your budget. The look and feel of the camera will be familiar and the menu system will also be familiar.

    Marrutt papers

    I use their 300gsm Ultra Pearlescent Hi-White paper and get good results with my Epson XP-970 printer. Marrutt provided an ICC profile to use.

    Nikon Z* mirrorless

    Reviews of the 50-250 lens are generally positive and that is my experience. Images are sharp, with good colour rendering and contrast. I think it outperforms it's price point. I use it as a walkabout sometimes instead of the 16-50. Glad to have been of help with the bag recommendation.
