I finally upgraded to a Nikon D7500 and I would like to know opinions about these three lenses. Nikon 70x300 any of the 3 styles, Nikon 18 x300, Tamron 18x400. I have a Nikon 18 x200 vr and I'm very satisfied with it. I'd like some extra reach and still get some good sharpness. Thanks in advance.


I think that photographers always want more reach. Since you already have the 18-200, consider the Nikkor 200–500. It is a great lens for the price. But it all depends on what you want to photograph and how much weight you want to lug around.

I bought an SD cards reader adapter to connect to my Android phone with a USB C. I was planning to upload my photos, using the phone, while traveling to my cloud drive.
The phone gives me an error: drive is corrupt. Then it wants to format it. The card is fine. It is fine in the camera and computer.
Any ideas?

Another way to back up my photos without having to bring my laptop. This is an 18 trip and trying to minimize the load.
Thanks in advance.


B & H photo has some solutions, mainly a fast portable drive with lots of memory and a viewing screen. Would be a good investment. I purchased a mini iPad with 256 memory and load my bird photography trips onto this with an Apple Card reader. Not cheap, but I love it. I can view my photos each day and create an album for editing later, or do some immediate editing on Snapseed, which is great for social networking posts.

Thanks,Larryepage. I didn't think about the video memory, so that's a good point to consider!

Thanks, nikonbrain, for explaining the rules. I was asking larryepage what size memory card he typically uses for RAW+JPEG fine.

I like your approach and will try it. What size memory card would you typically use?

"...No version of JPEG any sort of equivalent of RAW..." Paul is spot on here...

If you actually want to see what "FLAT" can do open an NEF file in Camera RAW; Go to Tone Curve and change the "Default" Medium Contrast to Linear... Bingo! you now have a FLAT image... The D7500 will do this for you if you choose FLAT in Picture Control. But why bother... Always shoot in RAW if you are serious about PP (Post Processing)

btw anytime you boost contrast you have the potential to "Clip" either hightlights and/or shadows. A FLAT setting can minimize "Clipping"

That said you can (and should) convert any .jpeg to 16 bits per channel the moment you bring it into PS.
Under Image; Mode; 16 bits/channel

This avoids the dreaded "Banding" that typically occurs if/when you try to "adjust" in in PS.

Best Advice Kleinburg Kid? All emerging photographers initially HATE RAW... the files are way too large and look terrible. However with time and practice those same users will likely never go back to shooting in .jpeg.

I'm no different I hated RAW at first also... lol
All the best on your epic photographic journey Kleinburg Kid

Thanks so much! Great information, and appreciate your empathy!

If you're going to create a JPEG in camera then make it as good as you can in camera. The tacit implication in that is you're creating a JPEG for editing. In reality yes, most JPEGs need to be edited to achieve the best final image but if you're not going to let the camera do it's part of that job what's the point?

JPEG equivalent to RAW? Not even laughably close.


Seems to be the consensus. Guess I will have to bite the bullet! Thanks.

Has anyone out there used this setting, which appears to be a JPEG equivalent to RAW? If so, what is your impression of it?
