I knew that some Sony full frame mirrorless cameras had IBIS, but I wasn't sure about the a6000 series. However, they are all very good crop sensor mirrorless cameras. Thanks for that information. I have a friend who owns an a6000.


Of that Sony series (compact APS-C MILC) the ONLY one with IBIS is the a6500 (3-way kind) …

I apologize for the beat-up negatives, but they are more than 70 years old, and you wouldn't believe how much my files have traveled over those years. Anyway, I can't re-shoot them.


Nice Nice pics, there, Richard …

Thanks for sharing!!!

Was he - at least - a little - famous???

Yeah nothing like advertising whats in the bag.... :(


Right, Doug … I often wondered why folks bother making / getting bags with the camera name on them.

Must have bought some 50 or so bags through the years - Kit Bags, Single-Camera Bags, Long Lens Bags, etc. - don't think a single one of them has the name of the camera manufacturer on it ….

Mostly - CaseLogic, LowePro, Tenba - but there are a few others, too - can't think what they are, now.

Oh, I tell a lie - I have two like that - one's an Olympus - which I don't use, at all (came free w/ camera) … and the other one's a Canon - which I got at a garage sale, I believe. Often thought about putting my cheapest Nikon in it … that way, if it got stolen - no loss. Boy! … Would the thief be confused!!!

I've lost track - which illustrates their problem - but they seem to have a lot going just with D3nnn, D5nnn, D7nnn, and D500 .... then, there are a number of 'FX' bodies also.


Yes, of course - I forgot the D500 - which really could be said - is part of the ProSumer DX line, I think.

Models - of course - are a different connotation, entirely, RE ….

The ProSumer series includes not only the top-level D500, the D7500, and the prior D7200, et al …

The FX Series includes the almost defunct D610, the D750 (and subsequent D760) the Df and the D850.

The PRO FX line includes the D4S (on the way out) the D5, and the recently-announced D6. Thassit!!!!

Nikon is rumored to be dropping five DSLR lines - maybe true, maybe false.

All kinds of things could quietly happen in the next few years.
We shall see.


I don't think Nikon even HAS FIVE DSLR lines, do they, RE?
a) 3000 series b) 5000 series c) ProSumer series (DX) d) FX Series ... that's FOUR - no?

We can' really understand the announcements until we also see what is dropped over time {which companies tend to do without talking much, if any}


If that's a reference to the D8000 - it would seem that will supplant the D7500 - but, I suspect they will BOTH be on the market, together - for quite some time to come.

I can't see Nikon dropping ANY of the Z models, RE … they will just add to the Z6 and Z7 …

Don't know what they will do with the two beginner lines … we can only suspect, at this point.

It seems the D750, D850 and Df will continue, as is. The D6 has been announced. Watch the D5 drop!!!

Nikon has several paths they might follow, and we won't know which one they will until they do it.

1. introduce a new beginner DSLR.

2. introduce new higher level DSLR, then follow the Sony method of lowering price of former higher-level cameras and use them as beginner cameras.

3. phase out all DSLRs {but they probably should wait until Z's are better received before they do that}.


1) They already did, RE - the D3500 …

2) They already announced one - the D8000 …

3) I think I read somewhere - there's a newer and BETTER Z - in the works, already … we'll see!!!

OK so I posted a couple pic and decided to go from the last page back and maybe not deal with the rest of the childish bickering between Chris & Scott and discovered something...Chris just enjoys being crotchety and ornery...so I guess unfortunately I will have to avoid challenges started by Chris in the future...its a shame that some have to argue with everything....remember a sweet wine is desirable but when it turns to vinegar its not so much....


I BIG your pardon????

Crotchety and ornery - am I?

I guess you didn't read the entire thread. Please do so, before making anymore comments on what you perceive to be - my character … okay?

You are quite right, Butch - in saying the Internet Sites aren't very good at saying what size camera fits in a particular bag - beyond specifying DSLR or Mirrorless. DSLR - in and of itself - could mean something as large as a Hasselblad, or a Pentax 645, or a Fuji 690 - even. OR, it could mean - a very much smaller DSLR such as the Pentax K-70, or something of that ilk. OR - of course - anything in-between. I guess the best you can do, is order them, and see if it's what you want. If not, you can always return it - right?

In the hope - pictures speak louder than words - I have shot two of my very largest Kit Bags - specifically - the LowePro Nova Sport 35L AW (I assume refers to 35mm Large All Weather) and the aforementioned Tenba Discovery. Both are capable of holding up to EIGHT Lenses, plus one (or two) cameras, with a lens attached. However, the former - is extremely light, and perhaps - not durable enough to stand up to the strain of holding that much equipment. The latter is made of a very different cloth, however. It has held - six lenses (plus two more in the end pockets) plus a DSLR w/ lens attached - squarely placed in a cradle area in the middle (where the heaviest equipment SHOULD be) and has held up admirably - thru many years of constant use. The default configuration / cradle of the LowePro - however, is end on (as shown) and used that way - would make THAT bag quite heavy on the one end. Of course, you COULD configure it another way - but that bag is long and slim, so I would NOT recommend doing it any other way. The Tenba - on the other hand - is MUCH broader in the middle area - and thus - much better suited to a cradle area ACROSS the length of the bag. Perhaps, the following pictures will help you understand ….

LowePro Nova Sport 35L AW - face on


LowePro Nova Sport 35L AW - angled


LowePro Nova Sport 35L AW - interior

I am looking for a camera bag to take on car trips. The catch is that it needs to be able to accommodate a large DSLR like a Nikon D850 with the battery grip, or a Nikon D5 and 3 average sized zoom lenses. It can be either a traditional over-the-shoulder bag, or a back-pack bag.

I no longer live in an area with a pro camera store, so I can’t go to the store and measure them. So I’m stuck ordering from the internet. I’ve looked at many camera web retailers. But they are all very bad at indicating what model camera would fit In their bags.

Any suggestions?

Butch - the biggest Kit Bag I ever bought is the Tenba Discovery. This thing is mammoth! … It holds up to SIX lenses, on the lower tier (four of which can be of the 70-300 variety) and two more in the end pockets - ideal for short macros or a kit lens. In the middle area, there's a cradle effect, created by folding down flaps over the middle two lenses (UWA-Z type) … large enough to bed ANY size DSLR. There are also large flat pockets, on either side - large enough to accommodate an i-Pad, cell-phone, filter packs, etc., etc.

The only drawback is the light color - a sort of bone - so, it's likely to get dirty, quickly, with hard use.
