Nikon Z50 settings

Hello dear community!

I have received a Nikon z50 with its standard lens and i am struggling with photo and video settings

No matter what i do (manual, Chatgpt, google) - the quality of pictures is very poor and focus is not quite alright

Maybe someone would be so kind and just give me their settings? I am not a photographer and i am just getting started with this unexpected gift. Would appreciate any help and advice

Thanks a lot, it would mean the world!

Time for an upgrade, looking for opinions

Considering upgrading from my D5200 finally, and I'm strongly considering the Z6 III. I know I'm not limited by the D5200 as far as photo quality, but I've definitely missed some great shots because of hardware limitations.

Most of what I shoot is motorsports of one form or another. Always shooting in RAW, and probably 99% of the time burst. The larger buffer and increased burst rate are probably the biggest standouts to me, but coming from a 13 year old camera pretty much everything new is a massive upgrade. The ability to shoot 4k and do slow-mo is awesome, but I have gopros I can use now for that so video ability isn't a deal breaker by any means.

Just wondering if there are any other models in the same price range that would be better, or at least worth digging into?

Tamron 70-300 questions

Currently running a z5ii and was looking at the tamron telescopic lenses. Was originally focused on the 150-500 and the 50-400. Primarily planning to do landscape photography at the 135mm and 200-300mm FL, curious how this performs or if I should skip it in 2026 for the other lenses?

My main concern is not the performance but the lack of VR. Curious if that matters with my z5ii? I do have a tripod but I don’t want to have to take it out unless I have to I prefer to shoot while hiking. The thing that impressed me the most was the size and weight. I’m usually willing to compromise for smaller and lighter lenses on optical quality.

Street photo of a monument of ... street photographer :)

Do you consider your hobby of street photography as trivial and unimportant? Don't! - as there are people who think it is worth being commemorated and having its own monument. I came across it today (by chance) while taking photos in Polish city - Bydgoszcz. The monument of street photographer was built just a few months ago and its aim is to appreciate works of first street photographers from a century ago, who documented city life. They were called "lejkarze" in Polish and well... I can't deny this word has its root in "Leica" as most common brand back then - BUT if we keep taking good photos, chance is, the next monument on "nikonarze" will be built somewhere in the area :) Photo taken with Nikon Z5 and Vitrox 35mm EVO.

Recently was able to buy my dream set up after being camera-less for over 10 years so excited :)

First image was the last image I did for NAHA with my canon over ten years ago. I always wanted a Nikon for all that time but after life and shit happened had to sell all gear. Was so excited to get my camera gear back but new and improved z9 and also godox lights which I love (second images on were some editorials I did) here is here beautiful 24-70 mm 2.8!!!

Z6III freezes when using a Nikon 300mm f/4 ED lens

Weird problem. I'm using a Nikon 300mm f/4 ED lens with the FTZ adapter on my Z6III. Manual focus only, of course. It works fine for a few shots, then the camera locks up hard for about 10 seconds and then reboots with a message that the shutter is closed. After pushing the shutter button again it's fine. It only happens with this particular lens, which works just fine on my D200 and D850. Anyone ever run into anything like this? Seems like some sort of compatibility problem.

Pic (not mine) for clarification on the lens I'm talking about.
