Z 6II

This is the part I strongly disagree with. The difference is keeper rate and expectations. With a modern higher end mirrorless like Sony a7v Nikon Z6III or something, even a beginner can get like a 40% keeper rate, and a moderately skilled amateur can get into like 70% rate. But if you're shooting a

Z5ii, it has the newer expeed 7 processor and much better auto focus than the z6ii. I went from a Nikon d7200 to a z5ii and i'm very happy with it.

The main criticism against the first/second generation of Nikon's mirrorless cameras is that the autofocus has trouble keeping up with fast moving subjects. While this is a fair criticism, it's also nowhere near as bad as people on the internet like to make it out to be. If your primary use cases ar

"....looking on upgrading to the Nikon Z6ii or Z5ii next year." The Z6II will not feel like much of an upgrade. When you do get around to upgrading, don't bother with anything other than an EXPEED 7 body - they are an order of magnitude better in the AF department. Currently that means a Z50II, Z5II

Both are excellent option. You should look which system offers you lenses you need. Between a7iv and z5ii I would argue it's hard to beat the value z5ii offers for the money. But if you want access to all that sony glass and sigma f1.4 (we prob won't see nikon S f1.4 lenses) then go sony. Imo betwee

Zero regrets. From a Nikon D500 crop sensor to a full-frame Z6ii. I went from a great camera to a fantastic one.

I sold my Z6II almost a year ago because I thought I’d be moving over to Fuji. Waited months to get an X100VI but I always miss the re stocks, and I’m not paying over msrp from a reseller for a camera that’s already overhyped and overpriced from factory. A Dr I work with who has a Z9 told me to try

I'm not sure where this idea comes from, perhaps other than maybe the Z8/9 and newer Expeed 7-based cameras just being so much better by comparison (which they are). That said, I used Z6II and Z7II bodies for work for a few years, and they were "fine." I didn't like their subject tracking implementa

The D7200 is only 90 g (3 oz) heavier than the Z6. If weight is your main concern and want to get into mirrorless, take a look at the Z50ii. It is over 300 g lighter than the D7200 plus it has the most current generation processor (Expeed 7), which the Z5ii also has. It has much better autofocus, fa

Switching systems at this point seems silly - it’s not like there aren’t already Nikon bodies with great video, and given that they bought RED, we’d expect incredible video improvements in the next generation or two. You should be looking at the Z5ii. Dear god, don’t get a Z6ii at this point.
