Nikon Announces the Z6ii and Z7ii Mirrorless Cameras. Should You Upgrade?
This week, Nikon formally announced the “Mark II” release of their flagship mirrorless cameras, the 24MP Z6ii and 45MP Z7ii. We’ll take a look at what’s new in these cameras, and discuss our upgrade philosophies as to whether we’ll order either of these cameras.
Understanding and using Camera Profiles for Image Editing
This week, we are discussing an oft-overlooked feature of some RAW editing software tools: Camera Profiles. Camera Profiles establish the initial color and contrast “look” of your images, and you can use them in both creative and technical ways. For example, using a low-contrast profile can help recover shadow and highlight detail in otherwise tricky images. You can use creative profiles to emulate the look of film.
This week we discuss a question from one of our listeners, who is trying to decide on a new camera. He wanted to know our thoughts on the autofocus systems between the Nikon D850 and Nikon Z cameras for photographing birds. Rick and Jason have used both cameras and give their impressions of the autofocusing capabilities of each one.

This summer has seen a very brutal fire season in the western part of North America, and smoke from wildfires stretches from California and Oregon all the way across the USA and Canada. We received a question from one of our listeners via our Facebook page who wanted to know how to deal with smoke and haze in landscape photos, so we’ll do our best to answer that question!
