I thought that shooting raw you could expose beyond what is being mentioned above. Blinkies shouldn't necessarily be a problem.

The histogram you see on the camera is based on the camera's JPEG. The JPEG histogram is usually more conservative than the RAW histogram, but not under all circumstances, and in any case, you can't tell how much more conservative until you view the histogram in the Lightroom Develop module. And if you guessed wrong, it will be too late. Do you feel lucky?

Anyone know where to find the AF-P lens VR off function on the Nikon menu on a D5300?
I updated the firmware and can't seem to find it. But maybe I need to have an AF-P lens attached?

I always use the switch on the lens to turn it off. I didn't know it could be turned off from the menu.

As you increase your exposure the brightest part of your image would start to lose details. ETTR is giving your image as much exposure as possible without losing any details.
You will need to look at the histogram on the back of your camera. If the right edge of the histogram touches the right edge of the histogram window, you are overexposing. If the right edge of the histogram is some distance from the right edge of the window, you can increase the exposure (ETTR) until the diagram is close to, but not touching, that window edge.

Wait for test results regarding the focus speed and image quality for this lens. I'd be surprised if focus speed and IQ are acceptable to most photographers.

Since you have a Mac, there's a great editing program from Hasselblad called Phocus. It's free and powerful.

Another good one is Light Zone, also free.

Thanks for the link to phocus. I checked it out and watched the video. Very impressive for a free program. It reminds me of Capture One.

Unless you are willing to devote a "lot" of time learning Photoshop, you will probably be better off with Photoshop Elements 15. It is on sale through today.

Luminar would be a good option except it is painfully slow.

I am considering purchasing a post production software. I have a Mac with i Photo, is ok. I would like to know if the Adobe Photoshop, at $9.99 a month is a good choice? How complicated it the learning curve on Photoshop. Comments would be greatly appreciated.

D7500 no question.
I'm using mine right now for action / wildlife (working on a review) and while it's not on par with the D500, it's a noticeably better action camera than the D7200 (which I also own). Not only does it do 8FPS, it also has a much deeper buffer, Group AF, and better 3D AF. For moderate action, it's the best you can get for under $1500. That said, the D500 (I own that one too) is still a better choice for action if you can swing the extra $$.

Are you a "pro"? Do you print larger than 14" x 20"? If not, why do you need "pro" gear?

Tamron 150-600mm if your camera can AF at f/6.3. The TC will disappoint you.

The Fuji X-T2 is an amazing camera. For Hawaii I would take the 23mm f/2. The wider field of view will work better for most of the scenic photo opportunities you will encounter. Whatever you get, take and review lots of photos before you go so you will be sure you are operating the camera correctly.
