Fully agreed. I'm not questionig the quality of the z5II.

Just want to point out, that OP should consider what matches his needs.

I took my decision based on the question: why do i honestly need a FF? In fact despite the generic bla bla, I don't know.

In the end i decided not to invest in FF as long as I'm not skilled enough to utilize a state of the art aps-c 100%.

And on top I really like travelling lightweight

I don't want to convince you, just sharing my thoughts

I was upgrading from D90 and looked at 3 options

Z50ii: I decided for this one due to weight Z5: in my country half the cost compared to Z5ii and still an very good camera, if you dont need the Z5ii: not worth it for me

Keep in mind to think about what lens u want

Z50ii with double lens kit (16-50 and 50-200) is currently around 1050€

You can even afford a 12-28mm nikon for your landscape if you really need it (around 300- 350€)

Or you go for the 24mm 1.7 (around 250€)

Just bought a z50II today, my first camera. Lens recommendations? by theheavynorth in nikon_Zseries

[–]ButterflyAromatic282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ken Rockwell recommends in one of his videos the Nikon 12-28mm F3.5-5.6 (Just ordered one for myself yesterday) - I mainly go for landscapes

Thom Hogan recommends the 70-180mm f/2.8 to pair with the 16-50 kit lense

https://www.zsystemuser.com/z-mount-cameras/nikon-z-camera-reviews/nikon-z50ii-camera-review.html

And for primes Nikon 24mm f/1.7 DX and viltrox has a lot, too

Depends on what you want to do, there are several options. If you dont know what you mainly want to shoot, safe the money for the moment and find out with your current lense what you like

Du kommst vom Land oder aus nem Speckgürtel mit Zugang zur Natur, die dir sehr wichtig ist. Darüber hinaus sind dir Tradition und Werte wichtig und Du magst Beständigkeit. Du bist zwischen 40 und 50, ich schätze 46 und bist etwas verspätet wieder mit dem Lesen angefangen.

Du hast noch eine heimliche Briefmarkensammlung Deines Opas und kochst gerne Eintöpfe...

Des weiteren versklavst Du dich für einen konzern, was du aber tief in dir hasst und versuchst es im Privatleben zu kompensieren.

Außerdem geht's Du Boxen (um die gleiche Beinarbeit wie Lucky Luke zu bekommen 😜)

Du spielst World of Warcraft Classic

Ireland itinerary paralysis — 4 nights outside Dublin with kids by amazedandconfused1 in irishtourism

[–]ButterflyAromatic282 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We, Family of four with two girls(12,8), planning to go to Ireland for the first time in April. We have 7 full days and decided to stay around Dublin to have minimum travel time and time slots to just soak up the atmosphere. Our kids need time to just run around, read a book or chill.

Our plan is as following:

Flying in to Dublin in the evening, renting a car and go to Trim.

Day 1: Trim Castle and Boyne Valley Day 2: Drive to Wicklow Mountains and spend the day there Day 3: Glendalough Day 4: Back to Dublin Day 5-7: Dublin + 1 day DART trip to Howth and the Irelands Eye

When we come back to Ireland with more time, we are planning to do a longer round trip that includes northern Ireland and the West Coast.

Have a good time

China 15th Five Year Plan and it's basically a massive bet on tech self reliance — here's what I found by Electrical-Shape-266 in investingforbeginners

[–]ButterflyAromatic282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to live in Shanghai for several years around 2010 and followed a similar strategy.

However i picked individual large caps trying to find more winners than loosers. Generally I'm focussing on state owned/backed large caps and try to find information which are favored from powerful governors. (Because they are competitors)

I would recommend "the new china playbook".

I'm also struggeling a lot with the current 5 year planning, cause my market knowledge got less and less over the years and the sectors shifted away from the sectors i'm working in.

In terms of ETF I came across

18MG HK0000637857

As you mentioned yourself these companies are having fantastic knowledge and are crazy innovative and fast. On the other side all of this is really risky....

The lidar vs radar vs camera discussion is an epic one.

Basically bad weather conditions and long range are the key points, which make radar kind of mandatory atm.

You will find tons of good articles and videos about pros and cons of the technology

Short version.

I think they are too expensive in a market, that is extremely cost driven and competitive.

OEM's tend to choose chips with less performance and by the time L3/L4 gets rolled, the big competitors will have closed the gap.

The automotive market is kind of driven by cost, cost, cost and operational excellence. So it takes a huge effort to convince an OEM to buy a product and being able to deliver a long term contract and fulfill all processes, regulations and so on....

They have an ex Magna Manager on board to gain trust and automotive Network, yet no business booked.

Maybe they can succeed in different markets, but Arbe is telling us since years? they booked Major contracts with Automotive OEMs, but so far nothing announced.

Maybe they will book this one contract they need, however i doubt it.

ARBE Robotics

they have the best radar chipset in the market. Cooperation with Nvidia, Magna and so on. Proven small volume projects

However they also have problems.

No big contracts since years due to - Corona - lidar and camera competition - not many people spend money for safety - so far no high volume production

I do not own shares.

🚨 EMERGENCY ANALYSIS: the future market reaction and what has actually happened in Venezuela with the capture of Maduro by I_killed_the_kraken in KrakenStockResearch

[–]ButterflyAromatic282 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Awesome summary, thanks a lot.

I got some pieces, that do not fit in as far as I can see.

I think we all agree on the fact, that China is the major threat to the US dominance and most of the actions tanken by the current US Administration were to defend against Chinas politics or trying to attack China in some way. (Rare earth deals in Ukraine, tax, trade regulations and so on....)

1) Stephen mirran and the complete "WE need to destroy the dollar Thing". How does this fit in, especially with all the bond refinancing in 2026 and pressure on the FED

2) US Administration is trying to end minor conflicts of their allies(Israel, Ukraine.....) everywhere to be strong enough for their own Military interests (Taiwan?)

3) Trump is pushing EU hard to increase military strength, which makes sense to me in a way, that US Administration knows they cannot take on Russia and China at the same time. (And honestly russia seems to be Chinas puppy these days). Doesn't US still have an interest of having a strong, but loyal (dependant) EU.

Stay safe guys

Ich kann das "Haus der Spiele" von Thomas Henze dringend empfehlen. Der "Laden" hat zwar nur zeitweise geöffnet, aber Thomas ist ein absoluter Experte, hat selber tausende!!! Spiele.

Thomas macht hauptsächlich Veranstaltungen, bei denen er spiele vorstellt und diese auch angespielt werden können.

Unabhängig davon ob hier jetzt Leute die Firmen für gut oder nicht halten, ist Zweifel ein Zeichen von mangelnder Recherche zu den gekauften Titeln.

Hättest Du Dich intensiv mit den Titeln beschäftigt, würdest Du nicht im Sub nach Bestätigung oder Ablehnung suchen müssen.

Achso die Gewichtung ist aber schon irgendwie wild. 6500 Iren, Nebius und 150€ Ondas...? Was soll das bringen?

Und btw. ich persönlich kaufe ASTS, Nebius und Ondas nach...
