It's the drive's browser app (MYCLOUD) that's a bit clunky. In fact it's the raw preview in the app that is the slow part, the actual WiFi transfer is not too slow.

FTZ-A for both electronic and mechanical interface, and no tripod socket. That would allow those who don't need the mechanical drive to have a cheaper and lighter adaptor.

I already have a simple F-Ai to S mount for my non-AF lenses. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Manual-Adapter-for-Nikon-Nikkor-AI-AIS-F-D-Lens-to-Nikon-Z-Mount-Z6-Z7-Camera/323585561778?_ The current FTZ for my AFS lenses. But nothing in between to allow my AF and AFD lens to work. Where are those hard working Chinese people when you need them? We need that FTZ-A now. They must have caught the British disease - laziness!

I suspect their innovative skills are not as good as their copycat skills, yet even those skills are hampered by the current health issues, where are the microbiologists when you need them!

On a losing wicket I would say. JK will know more about this but it was my understanding that it can take years to get a vaccine out into the mass market given all the testing required. By that time, the virus has mutated or a new one appeared that nullifies the new vaccine. Back to square one. It seems as though nature is continually finding ways to stifle human innovation and expansion. WE ARE the virus in nature's eyes.

Doing DIY in GradeII listed buildings and taking photographs. Need to get up on the roof to clear the gutters and seal some masonry and pointing that seems porous. Life is too short to worry about small things like viruses!

Like Eric I find the D850 is well up to most bird photography and for small birds you can crop & blow up images with very little noise comparded with D500 images. Auto focus on D850 is as good as the D500 and slightly less FPS is no problems when tracking birds in flight AF-C and 25 focus points. I find file size is no problem with x2 3 TB very large hard drives on my PC.

Graham, Eric, I find the D500 much better for BIF as the focus points cover the whole viewfinder whilst on the D850 it is only in the central part. Centre circle and its wings,  Or have I got something set in my CSM menus that prevents me getting the outer screen peripherals, above and below, included? All suggestions welcome.

I agree, much ado about nothing, so far... As for file size, I have a 500Gb SSD where I keep current files, after being processed and the chaff weeded out and deleted they are moved to my larger spinning drives for longer term storage/archive.
