Nikon D7500 DSLR Camera:

Important aspects of the D750:

  • This camera is a step up from the D600 and D610.
  • I had bought D600 new but I bought the D750 used. The D750 is still a great value at the new camera price if you want a traditional DSLR. A lot more feature and advances features for a lower price.
  • There was a service advisory for the darkened frames shutter thing.
  • From a camera body and design, its similar to D7000 series as is the D600 and D610.
  • Dual SD memory card slots that I like. Great for backup or splitting types of files between cards.
  • The command dial has u1/u2 custom user modes that save all settings for a given base mode you push to them. I use this feature a lot.
  • I haven’t used the advanced Nikon DSLR cameras much, so I can’t include a comparison.
  • The body is improved over the D600. It feels thinner, stronger, and more solid. The grip is a lot better… but the cameras are basically the same size.
  • There is a tilting screen for above or below shots.
  • No screen protector like the D600. I use a cell phone screen protector cut to size.
  • Customization: AE-L/AF-L button. The My Menu top setting can be assigned to a button. I use it for quick access to ISO settings.
  • The EN-EL15 battery format has been used for a long time through their more advanced cameras, which is nice.
  • AF is vastly improved over the D600, larger area, -3 ev, darker light.
  • LCD screen is much improved over the D600: sharper, more colorful. Keep in mind that the D610 is also better than D600 screen.
  • Camera body overall feels more solid. The grip is deeper making it easier to confidently hold.
  • Textured AF mode button is nice, better than smooth D600 button.
  • Frequency response for audio in videos. That can be set to wide or vocal range.
  • 60 fps 1080p video available.
  • There is an “i” button, but also and info button. They allow quicker access to features important to the mode you are in.
  • “i” button: In live view you can adjust image area, image quality, exposure preview.
  • “i” button: In video mode you can adjust image area, frame rate, compression level.
  • “i” button: Other settings are multi selector power aperture, highlight preview.
  • Info button: Both in live view and video mode, grid lines, horizon level, etc. Video has histogram and limited overlay. Video mode settings have highlight display and zebra lines.
  • Autofocus modes: Single shot, continuous, and automatic.
  • AF in video and live view is lackluster. Don’t expect to get anything useful out of video when trying to use auto-focus.
  • The specific AF modes in video are AF-S and AF-F (continuous). With that there there are settings for point sizes, face tracking and automatic tracking.
  • In bracketing mode you can use the dedicated button. In that case you hold the button down and use the dials to adjust details.
  • There is Wifi on this camera. The Android app is called Nikon WMU. You can copy photos and take photos, but the app is extremely limited.
  • One stand-out feature is the two button press and hold to format SD cards. Once the top LCD starts flashing you can use the dial to select which card to format. Double press again to initiate the formatting process. I use it a lot before a photo outing.
  • Viewfinder diopter dial is easy to accidentally hit, standard to this series of camera.
  • The tilting screen lowers the whether resistance. I would have prefered this camera to have a screen like the D5000 series of camera.
  • They removed the wireless remote feature from the secondary command ring like it was on the D600. They replaced with the Qc function (quiet continuous shutter).
  • Don’t expect live view auto-focus to be quick on their camera line. The D750 is serviceable for single point focus in photo mode.
  • This is a great feeling camera. Super versatile, all of the video mode feature vastly improved over the D600.
  • 24 mega-pixels is a good balance of resolution and ease of processing.
  • This camera is a mixture of great design, screen dual card slots. The best Nikon I’ve used yet. Though, I haven’t used their most advanced cameras much.

First look at the Sigma 18-50mm F/2.8 for Sony E-mount bought from KEH

I've use a Sony Alpha A6000 and the PZ 16–50mm F/3.5–5.6 OSS kit lens with my computer as a webcam for a long time now. It's a lower cost option that has been very consistent outputting 1080p at 30 FPS to a USB based HDMI capture device. The kit lens is generally fine, but it has a few quirks. The biggest issue is that throughout the zoom range the maximum aperture value is not fixed. This introduces technical challenges when I want to show detailed views of product or similar use cases. There are also other considerations I'll talk about later in this article. So I decided to buy the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | C lens in E-mount as a replacement.  Links in this article are a mix of paid and through my affiliates. I earn from each in different ways. One is a flat fee and the others I earn from qualifying purchases. Considering them for your purchasing needs helps make the creation of this information viable!   I made a video unboxing the lens and trying it out with Open ...

Camera Gear Reviews and Marketing Issues Exposed

A great overview by Gerald Undone on his experiences in the field of camera gear related videos! It is an important topic. The more open the better, I’d say. After over 13 years making photography and videography gear videos, I’ve not had a huge amount of success comparatively, but I’ve also never been especially brand safe to begin with for these companies to consider me. 🤣 I think his mentions toward the end of the video are especially important. The unwritten pressure, or worse with companies like Insta360 , shouldn’t be acceptable and should be publicly called out more often. That’s probably the only way things will actually change for the better. I created a video detailing my opinion on the topic further: More of my comments on the video… His YouTube channel. 4:30 I understand that’s what Gerald does, but are there situations where companies are paying for flights and hotel costs of other reviewers with the expectation of a video/article being produced? (EDIT: I’ve seen confirm...

Canon M6 Mark II HDMI & 10-bit Output?

I’m writing all of this down as in case sources disappear and I want to reference M6ii HDMI-out information in the future.  So this is not by any means a definitive source but rather a jumble of information I’m putting together in the moment. The “HDMI info disp” setting to select clean output mode. There is one webpage I know about that mentioned the Canon EOS M6 Mark II supports clean HDMI output in 10-bit 4:2:2. I don’t think the page exists any longer on Canon USA’s website because the old link no longer works after a redesign. https://youtu.be/_UT9u0XVn5U However it does currently exist on the Internet Archive . Here’s the important quote from that webpage:  HDMI recording: Menu-selected user choices for HDMI output with info (images recorded to the SD card); Clean 4K output, or Clean Full HD output. With clean output, compatible HDMI recorders can be connected with appropriate HDMI cords. During Clean HDMI out, video is not recorded to an in-camera SD card. With compatib...
