What? A new camera? No one told us”. Well they did, - just because they sent the info by email and not fax, does not mean Nikon HQ didn’t send it. I think you're discrediting the French. They were probably expecting a message from Nikon over Minitel, not fax. MrSMW, Danyyyel, IronFilm and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don’t get me started on Amazon deliveries… Next or even same day in some UK cities, but min 3 days on anything it seems with Amazon.fr Hey ho, at least the weather is great. Except it hasn’t been. But apart from that… 🤪 John Matthews 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not necessarily a good thing to have Amazon. Your taxes will pay for their warehouses and run everyone out of business. In the end, you have a bunch minimum wage workers with Amazon never paying for the infrastructure they degrade. Never mind the fact they will soon have a monopoly and you'll have no choice but to work with them. zlfan and hojomo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSMW Posted June 11, 2024 Share Posted June 11, 2024 But when you realise you lost your charger and you have a wedding in 2 days and live in a rural location… It’s a convenience. IronFilm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was making a reference to an hour north of Seattle. I've never tried with Prime in the US or in France. Without Prime, Amazon gets things to me consistently in 3 days or less. France is much smaller and if you choose a distribution point/locker, it goes fast. In the Pacific Northwest, Spokane (smaller items) and Seattle are major hubs, but the distance is still quite far. I should add that nothing about Amazon is really sustainable in the long-term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSMW Posted June 15, 2024 Share Posted June 15, 2024 Being serious, looking forward to Monday. Rarely do I preorder a camera and half my gear I buy used, but based on considerable user experience and my needs…and on the assumption that it will suit my needs perfectly, I can’t see why it will not be that ‘no-brainer’ for my needs. Second choice would be a used Z9 and although I prefer the battery grip built in approach, it is still considerably heavier than a Z6iii will be with battery grip and the spec of the Z9 is arguably a little more than I need. My only ‘concern’ is a Lumix S1H replacement with Samyang 35-150 will almost certainly come out at some point and it makes more sense for me to have a fully L Mount set up, but there are no signs of the former… And why a ‘S2H’? Quite simply the best camera from a user experience I have ever owned, video AND stills. But it’s not that big a deal me using L Mount for video and Nikon for stills and I’d rather do something this year than not as currently juggling 4 cameras is problematic… IronFilm and John Matthews 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol maybe I'm wrong "The Nikon Z6 III is rumored to have a stacked sensor (or partially stacked?) from Sony. That same sensor is expected to be used in the upcoming Sony a7S IV, rumored to be announced later this year. I was told that Nikon got a special and exclusive contract with Sony and only Nikon and Sony will use this specific sensor. Nikon had to buy a lot of them in order for Sony to agree on exclusivity. This explains the rumored high price of the Z6 III." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danyyyel Posted June 17, 2024 Share Posted June 17, 2024 6k 60 fps FF Raw internal video for 2500 USD is a new landmark price performance for hybrid camera, with great weather sealing and autofocus. With its partial Stacked sensor, I am curious to see the DR and refresh rate. Emanuel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
