Hi.. The limit to upload pictures is 500kb? Does it differ when used on a computer?
Or is that the complete limit?

Nikon batteries are Lithium-Ion, they don't have a memory and can be charged at any time. I charge mine after each photo session so I don't have to change batteries in the middle of a shoot.

I know I asked about thw sigma 150-600 and it will be better to get the nikon 200-500 over the sigma..
But what about the tamron 150-600 g2 compared to the nikon.. Both are the same price at 20k.. So I'm just considering my options.. Will the nikon still be clearer in the crop and zoom afterwards as explained on this thread a while back.. Or how will the tamron compare to it?

From what I've heard, the Nikkor 200-500mm. Sigma 150-600 Sport and the Tamron 150-600mm G2 all have similar performance.

Try Google to see if there have been any comparison tests between them.

Hi
I have found a tripod(TRISTAR) for 150 at a pawn shop.. It looks good. My only concern is the top part that screws the camera on, it's about 1.5cm long on the tripod and I'm not sure if that's fine. Does it have to be longer? Unfortunately I'm abit pressed on time to go to game or any camera store to see what a brand new one looks like until the weekend.
