So, question for the group - My digital cameras are as follows: D3, D800, D810, Z6, and Z7. No need to sell any, for what I get might as well keep them.
I only use manual focus aperture priority and only take photos, hate video.
My Z6 is getting ratty, it is used a lot, happy with 24MP for daily use. Which new camera should I buy?
Nikon only of course. ZF? Z8? Z9? Wait for later this year?
Interesting that the D3 is the last unibody in your collection. Since we're helping you spend money, my initial thought was Z9 but nah, put the savings to the Noct you're still missing . Buy the Zf, the itch is speaking. The Z6 might be ratty, as long as it still takes pristine pictures, it must continue to be used.

Not sure what you are using to export the picture. Perhaps, there's an option to include Exif. Based on the example you have shared though, it appears there is no Exif data in the image.

I'm facing a similar dilemma. Manual focus only, hate video, newest camera is a D810, want to go up not down in sensor density. What to buy? Though I definitely would accept the new manual focusing aids it seems like a waste to pump excessive amounts of money into systems that are constantly chasing new AF technology just to get a sensor upgrade and a better in-focus indicator.
Andy & George, love them both. Opposite ends, over stated and understated Aurora and both work perfectly.
Rafael, I’d be Zf for me or wait and see what the Z6III brings. The Z8 & Z9 are both larger bodies and it seems most benefits are lost especially on a MF prime.
Z7 it is then and they’re on sale right now. Personally I don’t like the Z7 sensor though, seems to me you have to expose it differently than most modern sensors (can’t pull shadows as much) but I appear to be in the vast minority.)

Excellent photographs and colors of the Northern Lights.
La Feria de Abril. Sevilla:
The origins dates to 1846 and begun as as livestock fair. Today, it is a glamour festival with beautiful horses and generous amounts of dining and dancing. It is held annually two weeks after Easter and lasts seven days. It is a huge event that attracts 5 million visitors.
It was only by sheer luck we were able to attend the event. The trip was finalized months prior without knowledge of the Feria and arrived on its final day. I was so darned tired from long travels (zero sleep) that manual focusing was a bit of a choir and had to resort to auto focus after a few photos.
The colors and the ladies dresses are terrific:
If one enjoys horses like yours truly, Sevilla will not disappoint.
Neil, Good photo. To your question. Adobe use to never strip metadata from photos. I think the export modules in PS & LR added a tic box to strip exif and iptc - when your in the module open the options for each catagory and see if it is ticked. Flickr does it by default as a host, but I assume you want to use your FM upload account. So bypass the Photoshop export module altogether and do a "Save As". I know the assignments are very fussy about image size. Off by one pixel and it will reject the photo. Open your image then image > image size > 96 dpi, 800 pixels on longest axis > Save As and Bob's your uncle. Now check the image size. Photoshop sometimes has rounding errors. If the longest axis is 799 resize it again from the 799 pixel version to 800.

Thanks.
Sadly, the need for sleep before work, and sleep after work, outweighed the ability to stay awake long enough to take night photos. I tried to stay awake long enough last night, but zonked out.

Anyone capturing any aurora shots?
Oooooooooooo... a "Help me spend my money" post...
Rumors abound about a Z6III, however, vaporware till it actually appears.
Since you hang onto bodies like I do, go for the latest available, the Z8 or Z9
You could also add a Df to your collection...

If you're saving out of PS, then don't do "Save for web". I'm not seeing any exif when I downloaded it.

Where are you in OH that the aurora is visible? I went to the southern tip of Lake Michigan, looking straight up into skies that were unlit by the full length of the lake stretching North ... nothing. I'm thinking that in OH you can't be any farther north than I was. Unfortunately the globe maps I've looked at show that my area is a no-go, far below the line of visibility.
A question for those who posted the wonderful images on the preceding page -- Are you capturing images that aren't visible to the naked eye by using long exposures? Or you can you see what you're photographing?
. Buy the Zf, the itch is speaking. The Z6 might be ratty, as long as it still takes pristine pictures, it must continue to be used.
