    Nikon Z* mirrorless

    I finally got hold of my Z 7II … the first photo had to be of my dog of course—just a snap. I did have a panic moment though … I put the battery in and it was completely dead. I nearly had a heart attack but charged and all's right with the camera!. Trip to Wex to collect a (s/h) FTZ II, spare...

    Nikon Z* mirrorless

    Just ordered me a Z7 ii with a 28-70 f4 lens and the FTZII adaptor. Should be a nice step up from my D750. Now have to wait for some sun!

    Full frame to crop sensor

    I have a Nikon D750 and while I still enjoy photography with it, I’m no longer in love with it. I find it heavy to carry all the time on the off chance so only take it when I’m really in the right mood, which invariably means I don’t have it when I see something really exciting. So what to do...

    Budget action cameras

    I’ve got a Garmin Virb XE - a few years old but takes pretty good 1080p footage for the amount I use it. I’m going on a track day later in the month, and was considering buying a second (possibly third) budget - under £50 - camera to add some additional perspectives. Does anyone have any...

    Nikon D750 & D780

    Had a spam email today from MPB and they were saying the D750 was their most popular item in 2019. Not surprised really.

    What to do with old laptops?

    Downloand DBAN from https://dban.org - over writes every bit on a drive multiple times. Doesn't work with an SSD ... if you know the brand of SSD; the manufacturer will likely have a secure erase utility you can download. Otherwise parted magic is downloadable Linux distribution toolkit...

    Garmin Pay usability.

    It is poor, and hasn’t grown in the 12 months or so I’ve had my watch (the watch itself is great though).

    Garmin Pay usability.

    I have it in my VivoActive 3. It’s usable on UK contactless pads... but there are very few banks that Garmin have agreements with so very unlikely you have a card which works. You can use it with boon a digital / online “pre pay” credit card, but it’s not really convenient and I tend to just...

    Official Talk Leica thread

    Definitely the uncropped version. The mirror’d floor is what really makes it!

    Cult of leica

    Not read this thread in detail ... and I'm probably talking out my *** anyway ... but what about a Mamyia 6 or 7? Best of both worlds? Or maybe worst compromise ever?

    Need new camera- what would you buy for £3000?

    Can you wait... the Nikon Z6 with 24-70 and FTZ adaptor for your old lenses. Or at least wait and try one.

    Character or Flaw?

    In terms of electronics ... I always think of "character" as meaning something which isn't perfect and even has some flaws, but is a pleasure to use / listen to / look at. Its the difference (to my mind) between photography as a science and photography as an art.

    Sky Arts ~ Masters of Photography

    Correct: I was thinking the previous two seasons they had portrait sessions with Michael Madsen and Clive Owen.
