Fair point, I don't use the clip much so to me it's a minor design area.

I have not found one I looked often but saw none available. I don't think it's needed because the lens is around 1KG and the lens mount can hold about 1.4KG without a collar safely.

@MrBazReviews So my Nikon 750 won't be harmed by the weight? I plan on using a tripod a lot

@@robertspeicher5047 I used it on a D780 and D800 without a problem, mount can hold 1.3/1.4KG weight unsupported according to Nikon. I've not found collar I do have a look once in a while but I don't think it's a must have for this. It is for big lenses like the heavy 1.5KG and up ones .

Great to hear!

It's pretty good lot of choice can't go wrong with anything from the main brands

I can let some things slide due to the low release price, yes it's a bit cheap feeling - though it was pretty cheap at the time. In many ways the 57 is the better buy, the buffer is a real issue on the 58 and it's a problem for any action shots. 57 solves most of that and has a better LCD (but the EVF isn't great), I'd probably give the 57 the nod for a buy used now, though you can find deals on the 58. Yes the A77 II is a big upgrade in many ways, might do a video on that sometime. Thanks for your thoughts on this camera!

D90 is still popular today 12MP is enough for many uses and the cameras are fairly cheap these days. Decent build/design and they have a grip option too. Holds up quite well for the image quality, you can get some nice shots with the camera

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks, use it still a decent camera today and you can learn a lot from it!

Exposure delay should be D10 in the menus

@ that’s why I don’t recognise it as it’s different terminology to what I expected, thanks for sharing

Hold the plate in place (if it's AM4) and reverse thread first

You have to use the probes for a voltage reading, they decided to use a % display for some reason

As I mention, much depends on what you want to do. Reason to get this is video and live view performance (clearly better then any F mount body), but if those are not that important there are better buys for photographers. Like you say D810 or even the D800 both great buys and you get a lot of camera for less money. To be fair Lumix has more traction for video users (less so photographers) and doesn't have a legacy mount like F mount, where there are a huge number of lenses available. You can get a Z mount body, but perhaps some people prefer an optical finder, or have screw drive AF lenses (which don't AF currently on Z mount adapter) It's a trade-off no question. The Z5 is pretty cheap and not a bad buy, but it's slow FPS and limited video features will not appeal to everyone, the sensor readout is also a lot less then this camera in live view mode and silent shutter. The closest is the Z6 II which has many of these features, does 4K 60fps in crop and is a similar if not slightly lower price. The biggest disappointment for me is Nikon did not update the firmware, and having used a Z6 and Z6 II the AF is improved on those, and the price is still too high for a model that came out nearly 5 years ago (2020). For photographers the D8xx series might be a better bet, or a D750 is also worth a look. I like the camera, but it's not as good as it could have been, Nikon clearly have held back on the D780 and that's a shame.

Overall I like it use it a lot due to the small size and AA compatibility. Let me know what you think of it

No problem it can happen the AM4 boards have the back plate removable no idea why.

It works with the newer bodies, they update the firmware.

@@MrBazReviews No, I meant the Godox X2T transmitter. Does it have full compatibility with the Godox TT350? The user manual of the TT350 mentions only the X1T, which is probably because the X2T transmitter wasn't released during the launch of the manual. So I wanted to know whether there has been any later update regarding this matter. If anyone's got experience regarding this matter I would be grateful.

@@SourojitBh The transmitters are also firmware updated check the site. X-T2 came out a long time ago they've updated it plenty of times.

@@MrBazReviews Oh, I didn't find any compatibility info on the site regarding my query, but I'll take another look. Thanks.)

@@SourojitBh If there are issues they are normally pretty good at updates, if there are none for a few years I wouldn't worry about it.

This is OK but if your budget is 300, I'd go for a D90 and you'll have enough to pick up a lens for it. It's a body you can grow into more and it has better controls/viewfinder. For full frame the Canon 5d II and Nikon D800 are the best buys right now (but are over the 300 budget)

@MrBazReviews Thanks for the feedback. I found an open box mint condition D3300 with lots of accessories on eBay for $260.

Not a problem!

For an event like that it's good enough, the only point to note is if you are bouncing from high ceilings, then you would want more power. It's fine for this type of use.

@MrBazReviews Okay cool, thank you!

It's not bad

There is no reason it can't cool it properly (unless you're overclocking the CPU), so you need to check to see if it's seated properly. AM4 backplates are not fixed in place, the AM5 ones are, but the design is the same between then as far as fitting CPU coolers goes.

@MrBazReviews was with overclock. Turn it off and now it's ok. Thanks

@@elielmopimentel601 Yes for overclock you need larger third party cooler, AMD made the newer stock coolers smaller!

Not really but they do need to update some of the chargers.

Why not? The RF one is around 1500-1600 new, this is about 350-400 for a good used one. Massive price difference.

@@MrBazReviewsit does not have image stabilization in it is that okey ??

@@harmansidhu66 I don't think it's a problem, it can be useful to have IS, but the IS version of this lens is much more costly. If you had an R6 it would have IS in the body, but I'd still consider this useful even without IS.

There is a slight drop off around 600 lumens from 800, and it holds that level until the battery fades. This is fairly typical for models of this size

@ Thank you. 👍🏻🍾

It's good aside from the high mode which isn't high enough IMO. I agree the holsters are poor and let the show down (maybe they'll improve them over time, but felt this way for years now, so perhaps they won't!) I've not looked at Olight for a long time, the custom battery became an obsession for the company and thanks but no thanks! Nitecore are pretty consistent and seem to be pushing newer LEDs too, a bit more interesting then some brands.

This was a long time ago, and well they're just budget tablets which are in line with expectations for the prices.

It's fairly simple some testers are quite accurate, but long term the cells hold up well (they're not the best for longer storage though)

​@@MrBazReviews Thanks for \your response. I came across another reviewer who measured current(A) capacity when new and recorded this on a sticker placed on the battery. Later, say after a couple of years, he measured A again, and it was significantly lower so he then also attached this new number to the battery. Unfortunately he didn't discuss relationships between the two numbers but it did give me an idea. If we assume that A drops in a linear relationship with battery health/capacity then it is an excellent indicator. e.g. He measured new NIMH batteries at 1.7A after being fully charged and rested for a couple of hours. He repeated this process on the same batteries after some years (in his case 10 years!!) of light/moderate use (100cycles) and got 0.8A. I wondered whether this reading means that the batteries were now less than 50% of initial Health/Capacity. What do you think of that?

There is no simple answer because different models of torches might have various spring sizes. As you have both contacts top and bottom, well it will work with some and might not work with others. Nothing bad can happen because it is protected and can't be shorted out. Nitecore have some models which run on the i series batteries.

@@MrBazReviews Hi thanks for your reply, yes there are some that run on them, but as far as I know they are all running using those i series batteries, I have the mh 25s, and have just purchased a HC70, it would be really cool if the "i" batteries work with either of those products especially the head torch. I have on order the P23in (real shame it has no proper ultra low mode) and also the SRT7i, so that will give me 2 of those types of batteries. I really like Nitecore, I bought Mum and Dad ones too, but different to ones I have, Dad has the New P30 and mum the MH10v2, they are alll working great, and none of us have had any problems with any of them. I also have quite a few of the cheaper headlights and love them all, the ultra light NU25 I recently tested out on the 60 lumen setting, it ran for a good 8hrs solid on that, the beam is so well balanced on mix for walking and hiking in the dark, if the terrain gets tricky you can kick it up to 200 lumens and the throw for its size is pretty amazing, I ordered that HC70 to use with the Nu25 just incase I ever need an very long extended run time over many days, im just testing it out now on the 500 lumen setting, it says 18 hours on the spec sheet, but I think we all know there is a step down at some point before that with the Nitecore, I do not mind those step downs unlike some, I would never want to be relying on a light and then to have it suddenly go dead with no warning, if I can get over 12 hours on the 500 with the HC70 I would be pretty happy with that to be honest as I would think if I needed to run it, I would run it on the 150 lumen setting most of the time, the throw is pretty good too, so far its looking a great light. Thanks again! Subbed BTW.

@@ilikethischannel5719 Nitecore have some new headlamp models coming soon so I believe, I did like the SRT7i, but I also expect that might get the new LEDs as an upgrade as they seem to be going through models and updating them. Step down is expected, it's just better to be open about it as some people think they will hold that Turbo level as long as it's selected.

@@MrBazReviews True! Just running a test on the HC70 Im at 18 hours on full 150 limens, not bad really so far, I agree with you I wish they would just be straight and true, you can't get more run time of a battery that what it has in it after all!

@@ilikethischannel5719 There can be some variations ie battery condition and temperature, cells perform worse in very cold conditions, even if the body cools quicker. I've typically found Nitecore to be fairly receptive to ideas and thoughts, they are overall one of the better makers, some I don't even look at these days as I don't find their products interesting.

It's underrated, gets little attention. True it needs stopping down wide end, but it's quite good tele end wide open, costs very little, well made and is dirt cheap!

It's of more use on full frame, but still you get more reach on crop. Just lose the wider angle

I have tried the lens a few times, it's fun (manual focus), and does have smoother rendering. But I'm not sure it's worth the price premium v this lens (which is also good in rendering albeit not quite as nice). Also consider Sigma 105mm HS OSS, Macro - heavier and larger but excellent look to images and much better control of aberrations/CA

@MrBazReviews Is the soft focus manual focus only? I'll put the macro on my shopping list.

@@cjewe1z STF is manual focus only it can't do autofocus.

It's still quite good even today, some bodies can have a misaligned sensor relative to the viewfinder aka steadyshot seems to be the problem, so the image can be a bit off. I've seen it a few times. Take image level but it can be tilted. It's not just this model some others have it, and yet some cameras are just fine.

My experience is that this lens is the best out of all of those, but sample can vary.

@MrBazReviews Which version is best?

@@cjewe1z They are the same optically, the 28-105mm RS is shown here. The previous version has a smooth rubber focus ring.

Without trying to be clever, it is what it says "focus hold" stops the AF if you press it. On some bodies it can be configured for DOF preview and I think the A99 II has more options.

I suppose it depends on what you are comparing it to, there are a fair few programs out there doing noise reduction, and ones that are specific like Topaz. I feel the results were good, that super noisy image near the end was horrific - yet was vastly better, so it seems to work well enough. The weakest point of Luminar is the lack of UI customisation/workflow improvements which are needed (that's my view)

Depends what you do, this is a bargain but the EVF has some drawbacks too (in particular for moving subjects), if you do video it's a great choice on a budget. I still use my D800 as my main camera for photography. It's more fun/engaging to use.

No need it's fully waterproof, some people keep the same cutter/foil paired, makes no difference in my experience.

Think it was Amazon pretty sure about that.

As far as I am aware in Japan they don't have English language option in the cameras, I think they do it to stop grey imports. This is a Sony thing always been like this for a long time.

Appreciate that I try to show as much as I can

It's not a bad camera certainly good enough for many. The ISO 1600 is fine it's just it could go higher, and would probably be still acceptable for noise.

I bought such one in a mint condition a few days ago.

Screw drive AF sound never bothered me nor anyone else. I did note the shutter slap off the A100 or KM5D is fairly obvious, had a few looks when using those bodies. I'd say that makes more noise then the lens AF does, does vary depending on body and lens though.

@ Thank you. I kind of want to shoot A-Mount again. I really wish Sony would make a E-Mount camera but with more of a A-Mount body. I held the Sony A99 once in my hand it had a really nice grip.

@@bigrobotnewstoday1436 I agree I don't like the E mount body designs, not very comfortable and too boxy, the A mount bodies like this are much nicer to use and hold. But sadly I don't see Sony doing anything different. They kept the same boxy look for many years now.

@ There are one or two E-Mount cameras that have the A-Mount body design now that I remember. They are crop sensor cameras plastic bodies. I remember people reviewing them saying the EVF was not the best. I think Sony even said it's a Alpha design. KZbinr John Sison review look for the video called Sony a3000 Review | John Sison

It's still a decent camera if you can live with the narrow AF coverage, and are not shooting really high ISO it's competitive today in terms of dynamic range. I like a lot of things about the camera, it's perhaps priced a bit high for it's age on the used market, but if you find the right deal it might be worth a look.

Thank you so much for your answer,@@MrBazReviews.

It's not slow perfectly fine for this type of camera, it will partly depend on the lens used too.
