Errr, entry level Z8, ? Nah.... !
-
I wonder if they're focusing (!) on areas where they have xs inventory and don't want used bodies.? .... before the Z10 comes out! 😂

The only 'troublesome' Nikon RAW file type is the NEFX, the file produced by the Z8s Pixel Shift. DxO doesn't support it yet.. 🙁

Time for some new pads?

Sometimes I wonder whether PIN would work for subjects like your stationary Lynx? Here's a radical idea for cold climate wildlife... a Thermal subject target indicator for AF assist. 😉

Yup, with a diameter of just 12 pixels, that eye isn't so sharp! Same crop from a 24MP sensor would be much worse. 48MP > 1MP is pretty severe.😂 With a plain background and a dark bird 75m away, I'm not sure the AF was off, as such. However, out of about 20 frames, some are definitely better than others.

Forgot to add, if that had started as a 24MPix shot it would have become twice as pixelated with that degree of crop. 🙂

A lot of wildlife photography, esp. small, shy birds and skittish things like perching dragonflies need almost mandatory cropping. It's surprising just how quickly the pixel count drops with a modest crop. Full frame Z8 48Mpix (scaled to HD page) and then cropped to 1Mpix. Not a great image, but you get the idea. Providing the lens is sharp enough, it's in focus and there's no subject blur (!-!-!) cropping works very well. Taken with a 500mm PF, @ 75m range..... didn't have my 800mm PF or ZTC1.4 ! 1/3200 ISO 640 f5.6.

Guess you don't do close up wildlife, music recitals or weddings etc where you get kicked out for making noise. ? Truly silent operation is one of the many benefits of mirrorless cameras. That many pixels, not so much.😉

I've often found very high res JPEG at 'Best' can be more usefull than a TIFF of the same storage file size. It equates to ~ a 60MPix JPEG to a 20MPix TIFF... It's not apples to apples, but you get the idea!

Quality over quantity..... 😉

The D70S, in it's time, was a nice camera. It became the body of choice for British Road Speeding Cameras! However, the price of a new charger was probably worth more than the camera. It's not viable to get it fixed, but if you're handy with a small screwdriver, have a look inside, just be very wary about the flash capacitor. This gives you a teardown for IR conversion... https://www.lifepixel.com/tutorials/infrared-diy-tutorials/nikon-d70-d70s
