If you are happy with your camera that's great, but there is no need to come here and tell us as we don't care. That just shows that you are very insecure about your camera. I have never felt insecure about my cameras and thus never feel the need to have to try to convince others in another camera forum of my decision on the camera I use. Sorry to see you are so insecure about your purchase.

Serious question... if you're shooting raw, do the camera's colors matter anyway? Short of using the camera matching color profiles? I load everything into LR as Nikon's Camera Standard and keep it that way but I know a lot of folks edit in the default Adobe color profiles.

Maybe the wrong thread for this, but something I've always wondered.

Yes this is the wrong thread for this. This is a thread for posting images.

It's colder than a witch's you know what out there, but the birds are out in force while it sleets, trying to find food and I'm happy to oblige.

Definitely the wrong thread but I will answer you anyway as you asked me a specific question. Mostly, color can be adjusted to suit how you like it. The lenses are what make more of a difference, IMO. Things like ARNEO coatings, Fluorine coatings and individual elements etc make up how a photo looks moreso than colors which can be adjusted.

Recently I tried to photograph Grey-headed Flying Foxes (Fruit Bats) skimming the water.

I was using a Z fc with the 100-400mm lens. Unfortunately the 5fps of the Z fc wasn't quite fast enough for me to get the right shot.

It was challenging, and fun. The next hot day I will try again

Flying foxes skim water to get their bellies wet, then lick the water off their fur during hot days to cool down.

Excellent question, and one which would be great in its own thread.

From my understanding, particularly with my experience using Fuji cameras, RAW files are manipulated by the camera software.

However, from my experience using custom X-Rite profiles, I can get the processed colours of RAW files from Nikon, Olympus, and Fuji, to be so close it is hard to tell which camera they came from.

Funny. As a person who also own GFX100 along with Nikon, I always find Fuji default color is horrible. Way too much black that detail in the shadow got lost and require a lot more post processing to bring back those detail in comparison to Nikon. Great file quality but color is not its best feature and since this is all subjective and based on personal preference, your opinion is pretty irrerevant.

Also this is a thread about 100-400 lens, who cares if you like Fuji color better.

More fun at Taronga Zoo with the Z9 + Z 100-400 f4.5-5.6 VR S. Just putting camera and lens through their respective paces. I got many sequences of BIF shots from the various birds on display from the Bird Show that they put on and pretty much everyone of them tack sharp. The combo works brilliantly.

One of the Lion Cubs born in August, 2021. The first set of Lion Cubs at the zoo in 18 years. Shot through glass.

Black-breasted Buzzard Kite. In the wild, this bird uses a rock to smash open Emu eggs and it is not a taught behaviour, it is wired into their brain from birth. This bird is showing what it can do.

If you are happy with your camera that's great, but there is no need to come here and tell us as we don't care. That just shows that you are very insecure about your camera. I have never felt insecure about my cameras and thus never feel the need to have to try to convince others in another camera forum of my decision on the camera I use. Sorry to see you are so insecure about your purchase.

So Dr Google confirmed rattles and soft images are normal when using the GFX-50R with GF45, GF50, and GF63 lenses. I'm happy for you that you have it sorted.

This thread is about the Nikkor Z 100-400mm lens, and so far, regardless which body it is being used on, the images are lovely and sharp!

Wanted to get out back and try the 100-400 with the TC-2.0x so here's a selection from this morning. Can't believe it's that fast and sharp at f11 on a zoom lens!

Z9, 100-400S, TC-2.0X all at 800mm

I think a house finch

Recently I tried to photograph Grey-headed Flying Foxes (Fruit Bats) skimming the water.

I was using a Z fc with the 100-400mm lens. Unfortunately the 5fps of the Z fc wasn't quite fast enough for me to get the right shot.

It was challenging, and fun. The next hot day I will try again

Flying foxes skim water to get their bellies wet, then lick the water off their fur during hot days to cool down.

Great shots of a cool animal. Thanks for sharing.
