Nikon Z5 additional coverage

By [NR] admin | Published: August 26, 2020


First, a quick recap of a recent Z5 presentation at an authorized dealer:

  • The Nikon Z5 is made in Thailand.
  • The name of the sensor manufacturer and the sensor pixel pitch are confidential.
  • The Nikon Z5 uses a different sensor from the Z6 and Z7 (not backside illumination), noise and other characteristics will differ.
  • The Z 5 is a mid-level FX-format model (Nikon still leaves a space for a real “entry-level camera?)

Caracal rendezvous

Caracal Rendezvous by Johan Siggesson (Facebook | Instagram | website):

Just in time before darkness, we reach the winding single-track road leading up the dunes to our camp. Our Land Cruiser is set to 4 wheel drive to cope with the soft sand. The strong Kalahari sun is quickly receding and the darkness is once again dominating the landscape. My first day in the Kalahari desert is soon just a fleeting memory.

I have visited Africa a number of times before, but this would be my first time in this very special area. Together with my co-travelers I am spending almost 4 weeks in the south-western corner of the Kalahari – Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.

Africa is so much larger than most people realise and distances and areas are often vast. Just play with the thought that inside Africa you could fit The US, all Europe, and China. The Kalahari desert on its own is the size of Spain x 2 and the KTP is approximately the size of Switzerland.
