Z8 LCD screen and View finder showing broken feed after taking a photo
Was wondering if any one else has had the same issues I am having? Did you get your camera repaired?
Neither screen is broken, or damaged, and displays the live view of the scene fine as soon as the camera is turned on, it stays fine while focusing, but as soon as I take a photo, the live view looks broken. But, playing back a photo, the screens are fine again. I have also noticed some of the photos are purple looking.
Sometimes the live view will freeze, or go black, but the leveling bar still shifts as I adjust the camera.
I have been very gentle with the camera, so I am not sure I can think of a cause for this trouble. I have never dropped it, nor used it in extreme elements. I opened a service request with Nikon, but was hoping to avoid sending it in.

Looking to get back into bird photography. Anything that replaces the D500 / D300s with a crop factor?
Looking to get back into bird photography. I’m looking for something with the 1.5x crop factor and high FPS. Is there anything on the market by nikon that is the best for wildlife / action photography? I know the whole market is moving toward mirrorless cameras. I feel so old, everything has changed

My first mirrorless camera after shooting a D750 for 10 years.
I love it! The leap in technology from the D750 has been incredible so far. Just a fantastic looking and performing camera.

What is the best next step for me?
I am looking to upgrade my camera after many years of trusty service.
My current collection is as follows:
- Nikon D5200 body
- Nikon AF-S Nikkor 18-140mm 3.5-4.5G ED DX VR
- Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm 1.8G DX
- Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm 1.8G
- Nikon AF-S Nikkor 70-300mm 4.5-5.6G ED VR
I started out with wildlife photography as my main hobby but have since branched out and started to do some portrait and wedding photography AND filming as well.
Unfortunately, in low light i just can't seem to get the job done during events without either flash (which disturbs the people if i use it a lot) or very high iso. And filming capabilities are very subpar, even with good lighting. I am asked to film at 2 weddings of my friends later this year so im a bit worried about that as well even though its just for friends...
What would be the best upgrade around 2-3 thousand euros? I think it might be time to switch to mirrorless, but that would probably mean selling my current stuff and rebuying new lenses. The other option would be a high end DLSR that could still accomodate my current lenses.
Also, if you think i need more budget i can of course also save a bit longer if it would mean being much more "future proof"

April 1st is coming up, so don’t believe any rumors or stories for Nikon that seem far-fetched
This thing happens every year, so I’m trying to be a bit pro-active this year.
Previous culprits were NikonRumors saying one year that Nikon is launching an instant camera, Jared Polin on YouTube leaking made up Z8 specs, and one year it was even Nikon themselves (in the UK) – anyone remember the Nikon medium format Zm announcement?
I suspect there might be some “announcements” of the following, or recycling of ones from the past:
- highly doubt a Nikon rangefinder will be released
- highly doubt a Nikon medium format camera will be released
- highly doubt Nikon has announced a D500 replacement
- Nikon has not gone bankrupt
- Nikon is not merging with anyone else
- <insert any other very highly improbable scenario related to Nikon here>
Don’t believe what you read about Nikon on 1st April that even smells like it’s a little far fetched. Anyone posting something that seems like an April Fool’s Joke will be reminded of what day it is.

Should I buy an old dlsr?
I have the Nikon Z30 Buti have seen a lot of old dlsr like the D5200 or D7200 going for around $200 on the used market. I'm happy with my Z30 but it seems interesting to use those old cams. My main concern is that my Z30 can do whatever the dlsr did and that it would be a waste of money

D750 Failure
Here's what happens: On start up, the camera appears normal. Compose, focus, AF does its thing, shoot, mirror flips up and down, sounds and feels normal.
But the image is not recorded. And the camera becomes non-responsive -- nothing from the Menu, no review, nothing at all. Camera almost completely dead, but the LCD is still active. I turn it off, and the LCD is still active. But the camera is completely unresponsive in either off or on.
Removal and reinsertion of the battery clears up the issue, but then the same thing happens -- shoot a photo, camera goes dark, battery removal and reinsertion clears it up.
Tried so far: fresh battery, different battery, different SD card, one SD card, SD card in B slot only, reformatted SD card, different lens, MF lens, no lens. Nothing helps. Also tried using some of the programmed settings (normally I'm on Aperture Priority), bulb setting, manual focus.
Body has close to 50K activations, but I don't think it's a shutter issue. This particular body was not subject to the shutter recall issues. It seems like it's more something on the computer board. I haven't found anything on-line close to these symptoms.
Any ideas? Is it worth recovery?

Nikon D5500 compatible with Tamron 150-600 A011?
I am currently looking to purchase a 600 mm lens for my nikon d5500 without breaking the bank. I was wondering if the tamron a011 is compatible with my camera as i have seen very little about this lens and camera body online. If anyone has any advice/experience it would be very much appreciated!
