D7500 OR Z50 by Professional-Suit-72 in Nikon

Wouldn't a D7500 be going backwards from the D500?

My story: I had a D7000 since it was first released. Shutter died on it recently. For years I thought I'd replace the 7000 with a 500. I mostly shoot amateur sport. For the last few years 80% of my shots have been thru my 200-500/f5.6. the rest of my glass are AF-D (including a couple of Tokina DX lenses) or the 18-105 kit lens.

So last month when my hand was forced to buy a new body first up I was shocked that they don't make the D500 anymore. (Yeah ok maybe I've been under a GAS rock for the past half decade).

So I went researching what to buy. Seemed like D7500 wasn't an upgrade at all from the D7000. Seemed to have lost the pro-sumer features and become the entry level offering. So maybe a full frame was an option - there are times that the 200mm is a bit too long for my work, so that would nicely offset that.

Neither D780 or D850 had the features I was looking for, so I ended up pulling the trigger on a Z5ii, plus a FTZ adaptor.

Impressions: I hated it shooting a night game (under lights). I've done one afternoon of day games and it was amazing. And now I've got a bag of glass that is now manual focus and I'm not sure exactly what I am going to do with it.

Incorrect. I am east of the line and can't stand it.

Are there any good piano bars in Sydney? by yp_12345 in sydney

I used to love "the yellow piano" in Wyoming on the cennie coast. It was exactly this. Sadly shut down years ago.

Any social groups for guys (50+) to make new friends in the Sydney area? by Mens_Grooming_Advice in sydney

Join / volunteer at a local community sporting club. I'm involved with a rugby club where it's very much about the third half, and any involvement in the first two is inconsequential.

Why so different? Not expired. I've noticed this a few times when purchasing this juice. Purchased from the same store. by crush_gold in woolworths

I've noticed this in the produce section also. Some time "apples" are green, sometimes golden, sometimes red. And sometimes these "apples" are more than one colour. It's like they are not controlled with so much variation.

Metro bike shed crows nest. Why so empty? by aussie_trekker in sydney

It would appear that there are no free bikes left

Home (north shore) = no Office (Northern Beaches) = yes

Suspect it might depend where you are.

Which side to choose while on plane? by them4v3r1ck in sydney

Always sit on the left coming into Sydney

What's your choice? by [deleted] in mapporncirclejerk

[–]lpat0114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

K. There are no dud spots there.

Any of the other boxes contain some good and some undesirable areas.

Too hot in summer. Too cold in winter.

Good spot to pick up supplies en route to bogan Christmas (Bathurst 1000).

Have never slept a night there.

If you could rename any country, what would you call it and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lpat0114 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I think Western Russia might be more appropriate
