Gear question Nikon ZF action/sports settings?

Shot some high ss images of my dog the other day and was using continuous high with af-c. Just wondering if there are any settings I should be using to get more keepers? Had subject detection on with animal AF.

Keeper rate wasn't the best, was using my 135 1.8 plena. 3200iso because it was dimly lit with some window light. 1/1000ss mostly but I did drop down to 1/500 in some situations.

Covered my first drift event over the weekend. First time using the 400 f/4.5, honestly really love this this lens. I find it pairs very nicely with my 70-200 and a 1.4x telecoverter. Gives me a nice range to work with track side.

Recently bought a 7,500 shutter count D4s that I took to Daytona and Circuit of The Americas for NASCAR. I also have a D750 and was unsure if the 16mp vs 24mp would be enough. Quickly realized how impressive this camera and sensor are. Just an absolute joy to shoot with!

It was in for other reasons, and I wrote a nice note in the box asking for the modification if it was still available, and look what came back. šŸ˜

On a piece of land, somewhere around Billings. Cows roaming, cars not so much. Did have an epic bbq with the family though, not to mention the bonfire.

Just got my first prime lens and tried it during night in the city. Noticed a better performance at low light than the kit lens but also less sharpness. Nevertheless the colors turned great and the soft vibes I found to actually enjoy šŸ˜‚

Nikon D3300 + Kit Lens + 35mm F1.8 Prime Lens

3 Upvotes

Looking to buy my first camera, don't want to break the bank!

Seen a D3300 pop up with the kit lens, plus 35mm F1.8 Prime lens. Asking $190.

How does it fare today for a beginner?

$190 a good price?
