The two new 70-300mm AF-P stepper zooms are getting quite good reviews and much faster auto focus than their predecessors http://www.dslrbodies.com/lenses/nikon-lens-reviews/nikkor-zoom-lens-reviews/nikon-70-300mm-f45-56-af-p.html

Some of the best "beard tracking" I've ever seen.

Z7 what's inside ? https://kolarivision.com/nikon-z7-dissasembly-teardown/ quote:"Another unique aspect: the cover glass of the Z7’s sensor is about half a thick as the Sony’s, coming in at 1.1mm. This means the Nikon will have better performance with adapter lenses right out of the box. " Sony users discovered adapted " rangefinder wide angle lenses" have "image" problems on A7 bodies https://phillipreeve.net/blog/rangefinder-wide-angle-lenses-on-a7-cameras-problems-and-solutions/

Who is the guy on the left wearing the "Death" shirt ???

Looks like Panasonic are facing the reality that their high pricing on GH5 and GH5S is not justified any more .GH5S is nearly the same price as Nikon Z6 !

Sony sold off a lot of their Olympus shares and now only hold 5 % it doesn't really give them much "clout".The story I heard was Sony wants some of the medical/endoscope market https://petapixel.com/2015/04/01/sony-sells-half-its-stake-in-olympus-for-cash-now-no-longer-largest-shareholder/

Films shot in 65 and 70mm have a special look as well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_70_mm_films

Lets hope they don't make an" Edward VII edition" the mind boggles

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/
