markjay, which type do you think is better?
I use booth. Sony a6000 and Nikon D500. For me hands down D500 is better. Bought the a6000 for an extra camera. My wife wanted a smaller lighter camera and my daughter needed a camera for a South African Safari vacation we went on in June.

D500 controls and menu system is better. Both take nice pictures. a6000 can be a kind of point and shoot if you want to go full automatic. Live View is simpler for some adjustments on the a6000.

OK I get i, but there you go again, even after I said I never did do it. Like I have said, I have seen people using a monopod in a moving truck but a boat makes larger moves and I agree with you.

Thanks for calling me stupid. The reason I asked is saw a guy using one on a tourist truck on a safari in S. Africa. Never said I would do that just tossed out the question.

I did not use a monopod when we went. But I guy had a monopod on the truck at at a Safari picture shoot I went on a few weeks ago and his shots came out nice. But I find in these situations you have to be flexible because you have to move quickly due to the movement of the animals.

I'll tell him to head your way. LOL

Can you bring a monopod? I used an 18-200 in Monterey California Things happen fast so handheld worked. I only wish I had a 200-500 lens. Did not own one at the time. The towel suggestion was good. Things get wet.

I needed to purchase a second camera for my daughter to use on a trip to Africa we were taking together with friends from Europe. I decided to buy the Sony a 6000 for her to use with the two kit lenses. One was a -16-50 the other 55-210. I use the Nikon D500 with the 80-400 lens.

A small Nikon was perfect for my daughter. Easy to hold worked pretty well although she kept it on automatic. I have played with the Sony in manual mode and I do like the way you can make adjustments and see through the electronic viewfinder what you're giving.

But personally I prefer my Nikon over and mirrorless.

Sometimes I take the Sony a6000 with me to jobs where we have integration installation (A/V) happening so I can have pictures of the befit/after and don't want to take a large camera.

Rey nice.

He looks like he's wearing sunglasses I never noticed the yellow on their beaks before

Came home from work around 6:30pm yesterday and saw a hawk in my front garden. . Ran inside, grabbed my Nikon D500 slammed my 200-500mm lens on it. Quickly looked at my settings and got this shot. Got lucky. You can't see it but he had caught a squirrel.

Thank you,

I bought a Solmeta Geotagger Pro to use with my D500. But, I don't see a GPS setting in the D500 menu. Do you know if you can use a GPS device with the D500? I know I can use snapebridge and my iphone. Any info would be helpful.

I like my Sony a6000 for use when I travel and want to not pack a lot or use for shots of our AV integration projects. But for pucture taking trips normally I bring my D500 200-500 18-200 and 35mm.
