all nikon F mount cameras .. any Nikon with a D prefix

Similar age to your good-self - like you I went thru the range from D70 to D850......both FF and crop sensor
what i like about the Nikon D cameras is that I can just pick it up and seem to know what to do

I bought a Zf but it's just not the same

I think that my favourite was the D300 followed by the D700

I don't think Nikon have improved on the sensor that is in the D850, have they?
In terms of mega-pixels the D850 sensor is in a class of its own but in terms of high-ISO handling there is nothing to touch the D780's sensor, which came straight out of the Z6. The D780 is the best all-round DSLR I have ever owned (and I've had a few :) ) and is actually a hybrid - true DSLR when using the OVF but almost a Z6 - it's missing some features - when in live view (it even has people eye detection!).
 
there was just one thing I really struggled with all those Nikon cameras and it drove me mad. That was photographing anything red. I could never get the exact colour red straight out of camera. No problem with any other colour just red. Different make of lens and red still created the same issue. Be it a floer such as a red rose or persons clothing being red it made no difference. To anyone just looking at a photo would not see anything wrong, but up against the subject and ^^^^.
Not owning othe makes such as Canon I don't know if this is common with all makes of camera
With the pana G9 and G9ii this can be corrected in camera should it occur
Yes, I think all of the Nikon's I've owned have over-saturated reds straight out of the box.
 
I guess yours is a "female"

Hi, there are so many excellent pics here in this thread that I hesitated before posting ...

My digital NIKON history comprised D70 - D200 - D800 - D500 - D850. The last two I use currently when I need reliable high AF performance.
( I also use Leica and SONY cameras.)

Recently picked up a D7500 and a couple of lenses. Went out last night after some rain had passed over and as the sun was setting. Made the mistake of moving away from the barn to a another location and 5 minutes later I could see it was bathed in sunshine. By the time I would of got back the light had gone. All taken with a D7500 and 16-85mm lens.
