The Nikon MB-D11 Battery Grip

So yesterday I mentioned my camera upgrade, and today, I talk about a neat little attachment, who’s primary purpose is pretty cool, and secondary purpose is neat, but ultimately unnecessary (for me).

Upgrading Cameras: D80 to D7000

First: Yeah… new year, long time no see, I get it. I’ve been working on a lot of things here, as well as, well, work, since bills need to get paid, all that fun stuff. Hopefully I can get that all sorted out soon, and I have a massive backlog of things to put up. But for now, we’re starting with this.

In my various other posts, you might have picked up on the fact that I’m a Nikon person. And until now, all product shots you’ve seen here, from item galleries, to Hackintosh shots¹, it’s all been off that camera. Until now.

Megapixels Aren't Everything

Phone camera resolution: 64 megapixels, 2020
Current camera (Nikon D80 DSLR) resolution: 10.2 megapixels, 2006
Next camera (Nikon D7000 DSLR) resolution: 16.2 megapixels, 2010
Highest-res Nikon camera I’ve found (Z7, mirrorless): 45.7 Megapixels, 2018 (ish?)

That’s a hmmm from me. But don’t get me wrong, just because the resolution is higher, does not mean that it’s a better camera. There’s so much that actually goes into a camera that just a single number isn’t telling you. Guess that means that today, we’re taking a deep-dive into camera construction, aren’t we?

The Nikon D3500 Is Such a Toy

A photography category post without any pictures?

If you’ve seen my recent posts, you’ll know that I’m the owner of a Nikon D80. It’s a good camera, and served me well for the short amount of time that I’ve had it. However.. quite frankly, my phone is better in some aspects, and it’s just plain a little old. So I was looking at something a little more modern and up to date, and came down to two choices: the D3500 and D7000. In the end, I’ve decided on the D7000 as my next upgrade.
