Finally decided to get potentially my final Nikon DSLR body, a brand new D750 with a valid Nikon Malaysia warranty. Less than 5k so its a steal imo.

Originally wanted something more recent but a lot of the newer models are pretty much overpriced (780 at 7.8k litereally lol) and the Z series is a no go for me since the FTZ adapter doesn't support AF on my older AF-D lenses.

Do the bros here even know? Because nobody replied to you iirc.

I am also finding a shop to take a look at my old D80~ Err message which relates to the ACU?

LOL, after I posted earlier about getting a D750 the shop call me say no stock.

So bo bian ordered a D780 instead.

Seriously don't want to add whatsapp group sia, mostly spam and all haha.

Thanks bro!

Oh yes. I have a quick question.

I got a set of Extreme Pro UHS-I cards (thinking that the D750 was still available...).

Since I changed my purchase to the D780 which supports UHS-II, do these cards still work decently well? Assuming some 4K videoing and general still (non-burst) shots.

Ohhh thanks for the info!

Yeah~ love the handling.

Mirrorless system still not compelling yet at least to me. Maybe a few more generation lar~

I would say that for a newcomer to the Nikon system, Z mount is the way to go. I have viewed some sample raws from a few of my friends who are on Z6/Z7 ii.... pretty okay. Sad about the prices though.

I guess I can only accept Z9 level kind of bodies lar.... pretty sure in a few gen time it will filter down eventually.

I plan to pick up a few more 2nd hand F mount lenses. Cheaper too.

Viewfinder, battery life (although the C variant EL15 looks good), and... the FTZ.

Ngl, if the FTZ supports AF-D lenses fully, I might seriously consider! But cons outweigh the pros atm.

I tried the A7 a few years ago? I gave up after a while haha. Nice screen though.

Took my D780 out for a spin and so far it works pretty well on both live view and OVF mode.

I am wondering if Nikon plans to update the live view portion just like what they did for the Z cameras recently? I have doubts but hopefully I am wrong lar haha.

1.02

The FW was released earlier this year but it's just to fix some minor bugs haha.

I am generally quite impressed with the AF performance on Live View but I may be meeting a friend of mine this Sat so hopefully can see how his Z6 AF performance on 3.4 works in comparison.

Haha sure. Btw just found out its a Z6 not the II variant.

Will try haha, thanks.

It was not available in the recent 3.4 FW?

Well depending on what you are shooting for Xmas/NY lar...

I haven't tried Eye-AF yet.

A bit sad though, the dual slot is not double SD slot but 1 with the XQD/CFExpress card which imo kinda overpriced for the supposed performance level.

Haha, actually end up just chilling and yumcha lol. I did test a bit with the 105mm and the speed of the AF is very impressive. I also like the electronic viewfinder, quite usable.

Sadly the ergonomics is a no no for me. Guess will wait for Z9 body type to filter down to the lower end models.

PS. The Z lenses are quite light!

Pretty good already lar. Last time my cameras barely hit 20+ if ever.

It is not as if today's low light situations are any darker lol. Even previous gen cameras can easily handle situations like this.
