Farewell to the DSLR camera

Nikon Z does correction to the raws in camera. You can turn it off though.

I leave it on though. Because I don’t give a crap. More interested in composition and subject. My father was obsessed with technical camera stuff but couldn’t take a decent photo if he tried.

Yes interesting developments and a lot coming I guess.
I like to hike now and then and love to spot wildlife with my Swarovski boinoculars 10x42
Then when I see a bird , fox, dear whatever I like to take a nice picture as "souvenir".
But I am  always too far away.
So I came across the P1000 from Nikon, pro photographers laughed at it since it is a small 6mm sensor and AF etc is not at par with the current tech etc. But for me it is great, it has a 125x optical zoom which is equivalent of 3000mm. I can shoot from hand and to show you just an example, this is from May holiday I spent in south Germany.
Sitting on my balcony I saw a bird landing on top of that small christmasstree in the middle. With the naked eye you could not see it, this is what 3000mm handheld can do. And the pictures with 1500mm were much better.
Just as an example. I had to compress the pictures for the forum so the originals are better but it gives a good id.

Oh now that's very impressive  :-+ :-+

I get max 375mm equivalent with my 250mm zoom on a crop sensor.  That gets me this without being headbutted:



Yours is the equivalent of taking a photo of a ladybug on top of the deer's head though  :-DD
Kjelt:
Indeed, how did you get that dear to stay standing still so close? Is it tame? If I come within a 800m they already start running  :)
Another picture of what we call a mountain marmot, it would stay at distance to see what we were up to. It was off season no other people around.

Surely the fact that the lens can be detached from the camera body makes it somewhat straightforward to test on an optical bench?

Straightforward for those who have an optical bench at hand.
Surely the fact that 99.99999% of SLR owners don't have one would be somewhat obvious, and we make do with what we have.
