Nikon D7500, D850 and D5600 after firmware update 1.10 with fully functional WiFi

megaadmin — Thu, 09 May 2019 18:22:29 +0000

Nikon has released the firmware update of version 1.10 for the cameras D7500, D850 and D5600. Nikon users of D7500, D850 and D5600 now receive the long-awaited open Wi-Fi, with which now also connections to other devices than only the SnapBridge app are possible.

After Nikon recently published Firmware 1.20 for the D500 with fully functional WiFi (you can find my post about that her e), these new functions are now also coming to the above mentioned cameras.

After the camera has been updated to the new firmware, we can find the data of the WiFi network that the D7500, D850 or D5600 is using in the menu under “System” “Wi-Fi” “Establish Wi-Fi connection”. With this data, we can now dial into the camera’s network using a PC, Mac or mobile device and then remotely control it using any software such as “qdslrdashboard” or “ControlMyCamera”.

Replacement battery EN-EL15a and EN-EL15b for Nikon cameras from third market – finally no crap

megaadmin — Wed, 10 Apr 2019 17:26:38 +0000

Since buying my very first Nikon camera in 2005, I have tried some replacement batteries from the third market. To be honest, I should have always saved the money for the alternative products and instead I should have used original Nikon batteries. After a long time I tried again and was positively surprised.

In December 2017 I ordered two replacement batteries for the Nikon lithium ion battery EN-EL15a of my D500 from Amazon. It was an alternative product to the original Nikon batteries.
I had had very bad experiences with third market batteries before and wanted to try it one last time.

As of today, I have been using Blumax alternative batteries for a little more than 1 1/4 years and still can’t find any bad characteristics on the batteries.
In contrast to my previous experience with alternative batteries, there is no memory effect, no unpredictable switching off of the cameras, no excessive heating, and a consistently normal charging behavior.

For the first time I can now recommend a third market battery for Nikon DSLRs to my readers, which only costs about a third of the original battery, but is in no way inferior to it.

Replacement battery for Nikon EN-EL15a for cameras D850, D7500, D750, D810, D810A, D610, D7100, D7200, D600, D800, D800E, D7000, D500, Nikon 1

Nikon D5, D850, D500, Z6 and Z7 get support for CFexpress memory cards

megaadmin — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 20:40:38 +0000

With a press release from 14.02.2019 Nikon quietly and secretly announces a firmware update, with which the cameras D5, D850, D500, Z6 and Z7 can also be operated with CFexpress memory cards.

The slot for XQD cards built into the cameras is identical in construction to that of the CFexpress format. The new supported format gives photographers the possibility to use the much faster CFexpress memory cards compared to the XQD card as soon as the first CFexpress cards will be available in early summer 2019. The new CFexpress format should not be confused with the old Compact Flash cards – they have nothing to do with each other, even if the abbreviation “CF” suggests a similarity.

According to a Sony press release, the CFexpress cards (Amazon Affiliate Link) are characterized by extreme robustness:

withstands a force of 70 Newton
temperature-resistant
insensitive to X-rays
antistatic
integrated UV protection

I myself did not use the XQD memory card slot of the D500 as a backup slot in the past because the price of the XQD cards was too expensive for me. I don’t have much hope that the new CFexpress cards will be cheaper than the XQD cards. After all, the new CFexpress cards are a bit more expensive than the XQD cards in terms of speed, and the manufacturers will certainly have to pay for that. In addition, the cards will only be available with 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB capacity, the inexpensive 64GB variant should be omitted at least at Sony.

Update January 2020: SanDisk, my favorite SD-Card manufacturer, has published CFexpress cards (Amazon Affiliate Link) with 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB as well. These will be my choice, take a look at them here: San Disk CFexpress cards (Amazon Affiliate Link)

There’s still one small glimmer of hope: Maybe the “old” XQD cards will become cheaper after the launch of the CFexpress cards (Amazon Affiliate Link).

Comparison of speeds

The CFexpress cards (Amazon Affiliate Link) achieve a significantly higher write and read performance than the XQD cards. A comparison with my previously preferred SD card shows the speed advantage particularly clearly. For comparison a fast, “old” Compact Flash card again.
If you don’t want to record 4K videos with 60fps (which the above mentioned cameras can’t do), you probably won’t use the maximum possible write rate of the XQD card or the CFexpress cards (Amazon Affiliate Link).

SanDisk Extreme PRO 64GB SD Card: 170 MB/s Read, 90 MB/s Write
Compact Flash SanDisk Extreme PRO 64GB: 160 MB/s read, 150 MB/s write (just for comparison, has nothing in common with CFexpress)
Sony Professional XQD G-Series 64 GB: 440 MB/s Read, 400 MB/s Write
Sony CFexpress Type B Tough 128 GB: 1700 MB/s Reading, 1480 MB/s Writing

Availability of the new firmware

When the update will be released is still unclear, more information can be found in the original Nikon press release:
