Other than that, if none of the Nikon cameras above works for you, I suggest taking a look at other brands. Nikon F100 + Kodak Tri-X 400 B&W film Conclusion

The biggest downside of the Nikon D3500 is that it doesn’t have very many advanced features or controls. For example, there is not a single customizable “Function” button on the D3500, unlike every other camera on this list. The D3500’s autofocus system, LCD, and video specifications are all out of date compared to many of Nikon’s other options. Also, it’s best to shoot in aperture priority mode with Auto ISO for wildlife photography. An alternative is to shoot in manual mode with Auto ISO, but that can lead to overexposed photos if you shoot in bright environments, because the Auto ISO won’t be able to go below 100. Nikon D500 + 500mm PF f/5.6 @ 500mm, ISO 3600, 1/400, f/5.6 The next step in Nikon’s lineup is an important one – the Nikon D7500. This camera has a much more advanced control system and better build quality, two things that pro photographers will find very useful.

First, the Nikon Zf has a sensor-shift mode that can capture up to 96 megapixel photos with full RGB data at every pixel – allowing for extraordinary levels of detail, especially paired with one of Nikon’s S-line lenses. If you're already in bed with the Nikon system ignore me, but if starting with a clean slate or not that much investment in Nikon, I'd get the 7D Mk II, and it costs less, too.

The colors, tones, highlights, shadows and everything are superb. My Canons are as good, while everything else pales in comparison to the JPGs I get directly from my D500. (If you shoot NEF, then the look of your images will be just as much a factor of whatever software you use.) In addition, the Z6 has Nikon’s new Z lens mount, allowing you to use the camera with any of Nikon’s excellent mirrorless lenses. And you can still use Nikon’s existing DSLR lenses (the F-mount glass) on the Z6, by using Nikon’s FTZ or FTZ II adapters. Though, when you do, you’ll lose a decent bit of the Z6’s weight savings compared to DSLRs. For travel photography and hiking, it’s nice to carry along a lighter mirrorless kit like the Nikon Z series. Captured handheld in a slot canyon in Utah. Compatibility with AF-D lenses This makes the Nikon D500 quite affordable compared to other available wildlife photography cameras. Even easier, a legal USA version has a warranty card from Nikon USA. The serial number on the card must match the serial number of your camera, or you have no warranty. The serial number on the box should also match the serial number on your camera.Do you get randomly underexposed or off-color frames when you shoot sports at high shutter speeds indoors, or outdoors at night? That's because your exposure caught the artificial lighting at an instant where it wasn't at full brightness — something the D500 and Canon 7D Mk II can now shoot around automatically. Even worse, it currently sells for exactly the same price as the newer, higher-end Nikon D750. There is no good reason why someone would buy the D610 rather than the D750 at the same price (though the D610 is more reasonable on the used market).

The D5600 still has a limited control layout (only one command dial, for example) – but at least it has a Function button you can customize. I use mine to control ISO, which speeds things up in the field.

It’s even a good camera for landscape photography despite the emphasis on sports/wildlife features, thanks to the base ISO of 64 and the high resolution 45.7-megapixel sensor. There are also some great astrophotography features on the Z9 not found on other Nikon cameras, like the ability to autofocus on the Milky Way. You'll want to make sure you have a good computer and fast storage options, like SSDs with plenty terabytes, if you want to use the D850 for wildlife photography.

Nikon D500 review – Autofocus

If shooting 1.3x crop you get a slightly lower resolution 16:9 stills: 4,272 x 2,400 (L), 3,200 x 1,800 (M) or 2,128 x 1,192 (S). The D500 simply gets fuzzier, but clean, up to ISO 51,200. At ISO 102,400, High +1, it ignores picture control settings, which is why the colors suddenly get dull (I keep my D500 set to Vivid and +3 saturation). Get the D610 for nature, portraits, interiors and landscapes. Get the D500 only if sports or birds are your thing; the D500 runs very fast, while the D610 has a much bigger sensor and better ergonomics and a built-in flash.
