The new Nikon mirrorless system

Once the camera and lenses are in hand, it should be a simple matter to block the contacts with thin tape and record a photo showing the native distortion, even using ACR/Lightroom.

Heck, he dared to carry only one camera at a time !
Then again, he was not in the wedding business

You can also just pump up the exposure in PP until you see the banding from the sensor, then it's quite obvious what is done in firmware and or PP

Thanks for the link
The described limited success of the Nikon 1 system was housemade and not because it was not full frame. Nikon lacked a clear concept and had the wrong lenses. With a better designed V1, there could have been a good, silent highspeed camera with attractive crop factor that is compact and easy to lug around.

For me the main issue of the Z-system is not the XQD card. I have already made the change described and XQD is my main card type already.
More crucial i see the battery life issue.
If i go for a Z it will be the Z7 on first hand. It already has more highres. than is suitable to full-format and we wont see further development in this direction. What is to be expected are future Z generations with more fps bigger cache and faster AF than the Z6 offers. As already said here the first generation Zs are not competitive for fast wildlife shootings (compared to D500, D5, D4S)

[MFloyd]

I discovered that XQD cards have been exchanged by error, after my aborted attempt to record some Z7 pictures on my card. So, I inherited some Z7 JPEG pictures ... for what they are worth. Nevertheless, they look promising:


Nikon Z 7
NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S
ƒ/4.0  34.0 mm 1/40s ISO 160

For me the Mirrorless waiting is over,,,  No Z7 for me,,,
I went for a D850 - the overall universal performance just blew me away when I got it in my hands and i was sold when I saw the files,,, Wow

Agree with Erik, I prefer the layout and OVF of the DSLR. Perhaps with more native lenses I might be persuaded, but seriously, I'm happy with my current output using now dated technology.

Richard, I was pleased to see the non-CPU data on the Z bodies.  Now I would like to see details on the split screen zoom and how to set FL for IBIS.  Watching for PDF manual.
Thanks

It is *interesting* to see an AF fine-tune menu entry in a mirrorless camera...

It could be for approaching subjects, sometimes it can help to set a tiny bit of front focus for those situations and then reset it when done with the scenario.

Thank you, I finally got to see what is up at ~7 to 8 o'clock on the front end of the FTZ! I gather this switch is what prevents a non-Ai lens from being OK. I wonder if an FTZ could be modified to eliminate this (permanently short it out for example) or that maybe a third party FTZ copy to enable use with these lenses. Those I want to use include 2 AU-1 lenses, especially my 1200mm ED, and a 200mm Medical Nikkor. I don't give a damn about using any built in light metering - completely manual use would be OK.

The Olympus EM1 series cameras have this feature as well. Needed for use with legacy lenses.
