    Nikon Z* mirrorless

    I do wonder how far away the Z7iii is from release. All I would want is the exact same features as my Z7 but with the latest EXPEED chipset, improved AF and a change to a proper battery grip not one that uses the current battery slot for an insertion. My Z7 and Z8 are fine cameras but the Z8 is...

    Comparison of ZR vZ7. Not such a big difference, yes the Z7 viewfinder makes it 20mm taller but I would be happy to use the Z7 (as I do, except for its slower AF), but I could not use the ZR as I would need to keep taking my glasses on and off.

    If only the ZR had a viewfinder built in then it would be a great replacement for my Fuji X100V. I really like the Sony a6x00 cameras but I do not want to support another set of lenses.

    I have all the 105mm macro variants in F mount as well as the Z mount version. The Z mount is a larger beast but seems to be easier to use on the Z cameras. I really dont like the FTZ adapter either version it seems like an unnecessary add in but obviously needs to be there for it to work on...

    I think we are all arguing for the early release of a Fuji with global shutter technology!

    Why are people buying electric cars?

    It is not a question of reasoning it out..... 1. The majorities tend to get stuff wrong as they dont have all the information. 2. Vested interests and rich lobbies will sway the masses or politicians. 3. It is almost impossible to convince people by good rationale as they are mostly...

    Why are people buying electric cars?

    There are a huge number of anomalies in the UK tax system in general and specifically around road tax and fuel duty. There used to be few diesel cars but the government thought they used less fuel so encouraged them and diesel was cheaper than petrol. Then they introduced catalysts on vehicles...

    That make an EV useful but driving style also affects range. Rolling road tests are not real world tests!

    I think that HMRC should be forced to rename VAT to JAT (Just Another Tax) there is no value added component at all.
