I am in to wildlife photography since 2yrs plus after my retirement from Government Service now 67 years of age. I have visited Kabini forest, Pench Tiger reserve, Ranthambore National park, Tadoba TR, Bandhavgarh TR, Bigwan Flamingo point, and Masai Mara Kenya Africa. I have joined this group two days back. I don't want to post photos here bcos of flooding. I have posted my photos in my Instagram account swame_58. I happily accept any type comments in way of improving my skills. Tq all. Specially @ SS Sir, I own Nikon Z7ii body. I didn't find any topics about this camera for wild life settings. Which one should I follow for Z7ii. Is there any personal id or WhatsApp of you to discuss. Presently I use only mobile editing for posting. I need your suggestion. Thank you Sir.

Dear Rangaswamy, A warm welcome to the platform.

You can refer the Z9 course for inputs for camera settings and menu options for your camera.
Regarding the learning, please take time to go through the course in detail as per the learning path document and that will help you improve.

For any queries on photography, please post your queries in the discussion forums of the platform and I will respond.
Rgds,
Sudhir

DoF and F stop is not the only difference. The quality of the glass definitely matters and hence the cost difference.

Yes, third party lens like Tamron or Sigma does make RF mount lens which you can directly mount on the camera. Do not get attracted by the price, always check for quality of glass elements used and the final picture quality.

March 7, 2024 at 4:48 pm in reply to: Sony A9 iii or wait for A2ii

Aditya, One issue with upgrade is – if you keep waiting, you will keep waiting forever and will miss the opportunities from now till then.
Just go for Sony A9 III. Regarding the lens, you cannot compare a 1.5 lakh lens to a 12 lakhs lens. So no comparison between 200-600 and 600mm f/4 lens. If you can afford, then go for the 600mm lens.

Regarding the accessories, these are the recommended ones:
1. Leofoto Ranger LS-365C tripod

2. Leofoto BV-15 fluid head

3. Leofoto MPQ-325C monopod

4. Leofoto MPG-01 monopod head

As of now the App orientation cannot be changed. But it works when watching the videos.

Hi Raju,

My recommendation is to go with Sony 200-600 and the Sony A6700.

Hi Feroz,
I would highly recommend the Sony 200-600 lens for wildlife to get started with. Regarding the body, if budget permits, go for the Sony A7RV, or the A7 RIV will also do.

Rgds,

You can refer the Sony A7 RIV video for that for now. The menu options are almost the same, just the layout is different.

March 1, 2024 at 5:03 am in reply to: Seeking Suggestions for Mirrorless Camera Upgrade

Hi Sourab, Since your primary requirement is for travel, landscape and portrait, any mirrorless camera will do. But what really matters for quality images is the lens you use.

I would suggest you to go with any of the latest Sony cameras and choose the right lens based on the budget.

I have created this database of cameras (which I am yet to update with all the latest mirrorless cameras), but will give you a fair idea on what to look for:

My suggestion is to go with A1. Or how about A9 III which will get released soon.
