Hi, so my PC died last night and I decided to switch to a Mac. Then bought the Mac Studio. I have 13 external hard drives of photos and videos and must now copy my photos to XFAT formatted drives to be able to read my photos. Anybody here has experience with this? I’d like to hear out suggestions.

Thank you Mike, for sharing your experience, I appreciate it and agree completely with the undesirability of constant tracking/micro-adjustments.

Hi, I have to video an event where multiple people will speak. The problem is they will be moving around a relatively small area in front of the seated guests, as they speak. I am thinking of using a high end security camera (4K) that has motion tracking on a tripod/table to record the speakers, and at the same time use a camcorder myself to record the talks from a different angle as the second angle/camera. Does anyone have experience with using a high end security camera or even a motorized light bulb security camera with 8MP resolution? These cameras are not expensive, under $500 but not sure what quality of video they take, and in general is this something that will work. Would appreciate any feedback and thoughts.

This is how it is for me as well.

Hi Lauretta, I am now ready to sell my Nikon D500 with 5556 shutter counts. Pls let me know what u need to give me an offer. Hamid

R.G. One venue that I do considerable photography is ballroom dancing, which requires a fast lens and high FPS, thus my D500. I will compare t Z9 w the D500 for subtleties to decide. Thank you

Texas1833, thank you, I will.

Danny, it has been a serious hobby for many years; I just don’t pursue making money off it. But thanks.

Thank you, makes sense. I don't want to be in a situation where I have to make a decision about which camera to take when I want to shoot: travel, friends, events, etc. HN

Hi, I just got my Nikon Z9. Since I am not a photography earning serious enthusiast/amateur/hobbyist, I don’t need 2 or 3 cameras so not sure keeping the D500 w 5556 shutter counts makes sense. What have others who received a Z9 done with their other cameras.

Did you find one? I used to use Morpheus and it did that. Don’t know if it still exists.

Loving reading all these comments, views, recommendations; Plenty to learn. Thank you!

Hi, I use a Nikon D-800 and a D-500 for photos but not video. My Sony Ax33 does a good 4K job for videos. I am thinking of using my Nikons for video but wonder what is a good digital stabilizer for these cameras. What is the experience and suggestions. I do very little professional work; all serious hobby.

I want to deeply thank everybody who took the time to respond to my question on a good printer. I have researched the suggestions & leaned on the Epson XP-15000; but it’s out of stock in most stores; where it is available the price is much higher. So I have back ordered & will wait.

Thank you again for your suggestions.

I have an Epson Stylus Photo R1800 photo printer whose is at EOL now. What do visitors on this site recommend as a good photo printer for 13”x 19” max size photos?
