Apple gives a veteran’s discount? This is the first I’ve heard of it. How do you apply for it?

To justify the money I've spent on photography equipment

For $96 you can buy 2 or 3 good books that will cover virtually everything about the camera.

MattG, you aren’t Matt Granger are you ? 😂😂😂 Just making sure this isn’t self promotion. 😊

That works for me. Anyone want to buy all my Nikon gear? I'm ready to switch to C A N O N so I can get a strap.

Ordered mine yesterday from B&H. Delivered today! Got the 40mm kit lens with it. Took it out for a test spin. I like it so far.

Both

Not positive about this but if I remember correctly FedEx is the default shipper for B&H, but I believe you have the option of selecting another carrier (like UPS) when you place your order online.

talking to yourself is an indication that deciding between camera brands may not be the greatest need on your plate...

It's amazing that any other brand of camera is still being made...and sold. :-) Thanks, I'll hold onto my Nikons, as inferior as they are...

Terrible GAS attack. I bought the Z8 first and was preparing to send it in (tsa for eyelets) when I saw B&H had a used Z9 'like new'. So I got it and was planning on sending the Z8 back, as I hadn't had it for more than a week before I discovered the eyelet issue.

Once I got the Z9 and tried it out I knew I had to keep it. Then I got the Z8 back, but dog-gone it, I liked it too much to send it back. So now I have both.

As I was setting them both up, hoping to basically have them the same, I began to pick up on the differences, which is why I made the post in the first place. I don't think the differences are a problem, just something I have to get accustomed to.

One thing I do wish is for Nikon to make a way to set the Release Mode in the memory banks so that would change when I change from shoot A to shoot B. Haven't found a way to make that happen.

[quote=photoman43]If you really want to master your Z9 or Z8, get Steve Perry's Guide book to the Z9 and Z8. (It covers a lot more than just wildlife.)

Thank you. Will do.

Aha! "read the manual!". Extended memory bank function must be turned on. smh

I know that there are many similarities between these two, as well as some differences such a the Z8's subject selection in autofocus having a setting for airplanes, which Z9 doesn't have but possibly will with a future firmware update.

However this morning I discovered that when using shooting menu banks the Z9 will retain the setting for both shutter speed and aperture, but the Z8 will not.

This is curious to me since the Z8 is newer, the 'younger brother' so to speak. I would have thought that the ability to retain these settings vs. not retaining them would have been a desirable feature. At least for me it is.

It seems this would have been a simple piece of code to copy from Z9 to Z8.
