I have a Nikon 7200 thinking of buying a full frame Nikon D810. Will the lens for the Nikon 7200 work with the Nikon D810?
Yes in DX mode, but you will have fewer pixels, because the camera will only record the mid portion of the screen.

Can't decide whether buy the D850 or the Z7. I understand it is the same screen? Any thought?
Handle both. The lcd is the ~same on both, but the EVF is the big improvement on the Z. Bulk and heft are the real differences.

How can I take pictures at nite of the shy
Wide angle, large aperture, slow shutter speed and big ISO is the recipe.

People on this forum spend a lot of time worrying about hypothetical problems. I have been using 2 mirrorless cameras for several years, and have not seen any dust problems - and don't expect to. And if I do I will buy a little blower and blow it away. It is simple. You take the lens off and you're looking at it! There is no mirror in the way to block access. Worry about something real!

I’m travel this year to Utah. I have a nearly 10 year old D3100 with a Tamron 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 and an AF-S Nikkor 35mm 1:1:8G lenses. My question: Can I get quality, sharply focused, photos; ( photography skills not withstanding), or do I need to spend $$$ to increase my chances at some photos I’ll cherish?
Lots of people were getting great photos 10 years ago! Your camera was brand new then!

For someone looking to photograph small kids or animals, an articulating screen is a must. Especially if your age interferes with getting down on your belly to get a floor level shot.

Are you talking about the time it takes to recharge in between fires/shots? You could check out the Godox line of flashes but, check the specks. If your using full power, see what the recharge time between shots before purchasing. You might have to go for a more expensive flash to get fast recharge times. Good luck.
Ditto on Godox! Excellent Flash. Very well made and for a lot less than you would expect for something this quality!

Hi All,
I just got a Nikon TC 20E III teleconverter for my nikon 200-500 lens. I am shooting with a Nikon D500 body. I did check to see that AF should work with this combo however, the lens searches for focus constantly and will not settle on any subject.....not even a tree in the yard! Is the teleconverter defective or is the info I found on af wrong? TIA!!

Your problem is not enough light for autofocus to work. Now if you had a mirrorless with an EVF like my Fuji XT-2 Your autofocus might work, and if not, manual focus would work just fine!

Good morning "treefarmer" - Please tell your wife I love her too - if only from afar. My beautiful spouse is very much like yours although in light of my occasional (frequent?) GAS attacks she will inform me that "He who dies with the most toys is STILL dead".
All the best to you and yours and Happy Holidays

All you males with perpetual GAS remind me of what my mother said about men. "Men are simple creatures, daughter. If you want to keep a man happy, all you have to do is feed him well, give him plenty of affection, Tell him he is a good boy every day, and make sure he has plenty of toys!" I found her advice to be true. I also found it works equally well for my dogs!

Ah, Cat, you are in the wrong forum if you feel that way.
I am beginning to realize that. I am too old to begin suffering fools.

All of this hot-air-blowing is because you have a flawed assumption. You are assuming that the same lens will always be used on both FF and APS-C. Don't you remember what you sixth grade teacher told you happened when you assume?
And all that "extra light that is thrown away" isn't exactly worth its weight in gold. There's a reason that camera manufacturers make FF lenses and APS-C lenses.

Why is the assumption flawed?
when describing a physical event, it is customary to limit the variables to the single variable being examined. This is customary in science, even if not in the 6th grade. Also, people who have both full frame and crop sensor cameras often use their full frame lenses on their crop cameras, and vice versa for their full frames that have a crop mode.

No one needs a diagram or decision tree to recognize the beauty of a full-frame sensor.
No one needs a constant flow of drivel, either.

If your sensor throws away 60% of the frame, how will you ever achieve your potential as a photographer?

A technical question. br I know that the more pixe... (show quote)
The lens projects a certain sized spot of light bearing the image onto the sensor whether it is a small aps-c sensor or a full sized sensor. In the case of the small sensor you are only recording the center of that spot of light, and with the large sensor you are recording nearly the full width of that spot. The real question is, if the small area of light will be recorded by 24 mp, and the large area by 36 mp, will there be any difference in the detail and sharpness of the recorded image? And the answer is that it depends on the number of pixels per mm of the sensor - ie the pixel density of the sensor.
In this diagram, the orange bar is the light image, and the green bar is the sensor.
