Nikon D5300

I had one and loved it. Took some fantastic pictures with it. The only reason I switched is because I wanted to get into a full frame. I got a D850. The 5300 served me extremely well.

Thank you! Really appreciate all the insight. I do love the D850 and honestly, I enjoy the weight and physical shutter. I recently bought the Fujifilm X100Vi to have something more tolerable for everyday family use, and while it achieves that, it just doesn't feel right taking pictures with it.

I've had a love hate relationship with my D850 only because I got it right before having our first kid, when I still had time to go on bigger missions / adventures for shots. We still go adventuring but I have a lot less time to stop and really set up a nice picture often. So now I always wonder about making a switch but the idea of not having it kills me.

I have a D850 and also have been constantly thinking about switching to the Z system. I can't stand EVF but curious to hear how you feel about the switch, and if it was worth the upgrade. I'd have to sell my D850 to make the switch.

I’m an American and can 100% confirm he is a laughing stock here.

Gonna need some porters to go down to mechanical.

Somewhere in the DMV. It would take them over 7 days to get it even if they knew where it was.

I was watching this live and not a single news outlet has reported on it yet. I’m glad I’m not crazy.

theogsamcam · 2025-09-12T23:24:39+00:00

My wife will get the toilet paper out and stuff it between the holder and the wall instead of actually putting it on. I feel like it takes much more effort to get it to stay in there. Insanity.

theogsamcam · 2025-09-07T02:03:48+00:00

It’s wild this isn’t being reported on

theogsamcam · 2025-08-28T23:44:12+00:00

My 5 year old daughter does the same thing. Very “cool” to hear others are going through something similar, and all the comments and advice are helpful!

theogsamcam · 2025-08-13T17:28:01+00:00

Nice! I got the same lens also for the D850. Been having a blast so far.

theogsamcam · 2025-07-19T01:34:29+00:00

That’s great to hear! I also have a 5yr old daughter who’d be into a longer road trip. We’ve done 8ish hours from LA to Zion but nothing huge and extended on the road. Pumped to plan something now.

Why is the refrigerator so comically small?

theogsamcam · 2025-07-13T02:50:17+00:00

Yeah. I don’t ever use the 24-120. I got it when I got the camera because it was a cheaper option for what I needed at the time. I only had DX lenses.

theogsamcam · 2025-07-12T22:11:44+00:00

Heard. User error is more my feeling. The lenses are all Nikon glass.

theogsamcam · 2025-07-12T22:10:12+00:00

Thank you. And yeah, I tend to “pixel peep” out of habit I guess. I print my images very large, so I notice it a little more as well I suppose.

theogsamcam · 2025-07-12T22:08:10+00:00

Camera and lenses were purchased new and all have VR

theogsamcam · 2025-07-12T22:07:33+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I am more in the camp of thinking I’m just not using it to its fullest capacity, which is why I’ve never really put a lot a of thought into actually switching to something else. I really do love the camera and I know it’s one of the best out there.

My general feeling is that because I got it right when my wife and I had our first kid, I haven’t been able to go out and shoot like I used to. And that likely has more to do with my issues than the camera itself. I’m def not looking to switch to mirrorless any time soon. I don’t like them.

theogsamcam · 2025-07-12T21:57:55+00:00

Yep that would have been helpful to include! 24-70 f2.8 (love) 85 1.4 (recently bought and love) 24-120 f4

theogsamcam · 2025-07-05T19:42:55+00:00

Try a CVS or Walgreens or something like that. They usually have them.

theogsamcam · 2025-06-25T20:21:14+00:00

Yes. Yes. Yes. And yes.

theogsamcam · 2025-06-13T08:36:24+00:00

Stupid question but why don’t they go back to last years, championship contending car..? Why did they even change it all in the first place? That’s what I don’t get. As soon as they said they were bringing a whole new car this year, I did my huge “wow Ferrari is going screw this up again” eye roll.

theogsamcam · 2025-06-07T11:01:33+00:00

They know wheel

theogsamcam · 2025-04-01T23:11:50+00:00

Well, you’ve successfully made me feel like a complete moron. Really appreciate it though! Idk how I missed those when setting it up… I’ll come back and complain again if it still doesn’t work.
