Nikon 200-500mm lens
Today I will do a review on the Nikon 200-500 f/5.6 Lens. I shot several sports and wildlife photos with this lens and at $1400, I have to say it is very good quality for its price. Although not quite the same as the f/4 500mm prime or the f/4 600mm prime, it is much lighter and at 5 lbs, very usable hand-held unlike its bigger cousins.

DxOMark is a objective mark of how a Camera sensor performs in terms of Dynamic Range, portrait color depth and high ISO performance. But is it still relevant in today's camera world.

Light L16 Camera thoughts

Other options for small versatile cameras:
Sony Rx10 IV
Olympus M10 Mark III
Today we look at the Light L16 Camera. A weird camera that has 16 lenses and 16 sensors to go with it. While the technology is intriguing, it seems that the image quality, especially for the zoom lenses is not that great. Even though zoomed out, you get 52 Megapixels, when zoomed in at 150mm, you get 13mp. I think I would rather go with compact mirrorless if I really want small.

Canon 5dsr II, will Canon move up the release date?

Canon 5ds
Canon 5dsr
The Nikon D850 crushes both the 5ds, 5dsr and 5d Mark IV in terms of features. The 5d Mark IV was introduced last year so its not getting an upgrade soon. The 6d Mark II is not worth mentioning and although the 5ds series was released 2.5 years ago, it should have about 2 years left on its cycle. But with the d850 coming on so strong, will Canon push up its schedule on the 5ds Mark II? Will they eventually merge the 5d Mark IV and the 5ds line into 1 camera?
Nikon D850 High ISO performance for wildlife and Astrophotography

Purchase Nikon d850
A quick brief overlook at ISO performance for the new Nikon D850. It seems its cleaner for wildlife around 400-800 ISO than my d750 but noisier for astrophotography around 2500. A bit strange, it could just be the difference is resolution though.
