X-T20 replacement may be a cool little camera as well,will be interesting how much sauce it gets from the X-T3

X-H1 flag ship has been "out gunned"- "Master and Commander fan". pic is Public domain USA wiki

Nikon have just given the D3400 a huge upgrade ! a better battery and 30 gms lighter so it now gets named D3500. just in time to discount those D3400s for XMas

I bet you haven't been using "The four second rule" !

Nikon are "overdue" to even give some indication what their future "DX" plan is.They will need something pretty special to even match the video abilities of Fuji's new X-T3.

looks pretty good,says all night shots recorded at ISO 8,000 and above handheld at F1.4-F1.8,

Thanks for your advise,we will still leave a bottle of beer out for father XMas

Thanks for the video Tom,those Giraffes have long tongues ,would make Gene Simmons feel inadequate.

Fringer are selling two versions of smart EF to FX adaptors on ebay.They regularly update the firmware and current version is 2.3 https://www.fringeradapter.com/

Very interesting how they diversified to stay in business and Kodak filed for Bankruptcy

X-H2 is probably not far away Here in Aus they are offering Cashbacks on X-T2s and X-H1s https://fujifilmcashback.com.au/XT2XH1/

Northrups say it's twice as good as a T2i !!!!

Panasonic are going to have a problem pricing their new FF camera is it going to be more than than Gh5S ??? Our Ausi prices are roughly GH5S-$3300 Nikon Z6 $3100 Sony A7III $3000 GH 5 $2500

Here is a Nikkor f8 prime to keep you happy 800mm f8.0 Ais -460mm long and 3.3 kgs an ideal lens

And 1.43 kgs ,3.15 lbs ,no thanks I'll stick to F2.8s

There are far more lens choices with Full frame particularly third party Sigma 24-70 F2.8 Art US $1300 Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 US $400 Tokina 24-70 f2.8 US $950 If you want high quality wide or fast with micro 4/3 you pay through the nose -Panasonic 42.5mm f1.2 US $1400

Lok Cheug's thoughts on the the Z7 -he seems pleased with the ergos

The incompatibility with other lens brands due to the long "F mount" flange distance is also vanquished,there are some great old manual focus lenses Minolta,Pentax,Miranda ,M42 mount etc

Their new 50mm F1.8 Z is far from being a simple design,even compared to the 2011 release G which was a significant step forward from the old film era AFD lens.

And generally less vignetting and better edge resolution than the F1.8. lens.

Nikon's new 50mm f1.8 Z is 12 elements in 9 groups including 2 ED glass and 2 aspherical elements should spank Canon's current 50mm f1.8 which appears to be the same optical design as their 1987 "film era" basic six elements in five groups.

Looks like he has been shooting video on Nikons right back to the D800 https://vimeo.com/coreyrichproductions
