Make me feel better about my purchase. New Z6ii

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

Z6 III or Z8? I have the 45MP FOMO but my bank account is in DX mode.

Yeah get the z6iii with the lens zoom!! I have the Nikon 200-500 zoom lens and I rather use that on my z6ii than to crop in! I mostly use it for landscape and random wild life I see . I do also wants the Z8 and I do want it for 8k video since I do both but I rather also get the Z6iii and use it's 6K

Upgrade my gear from Nikon Z6II to Nikon Z8

The Z8 far, far exceeds the Z6ii in almost every way, so I am confident in saying it will be better “in terms of performance and technical features”, since you haven’t actually said what your needs are. AF performance, subject detection, 3D tracking, speed, resolution, controls, video, low latency v

Considering buying into Nikon

Hi I've been shooting Nikon for over 20 years. I do have some Sony camera's and used to own a few Olympus and Panasonic M43 camera's and lenses. I shoot mostly for fun, but I also do a few paid gigs per year. For the type of photography you describe, a full-frame sensor makes sense because they offe

Switching back to Nikon?

The eye detect issue was fixed in a firmware update a few years ago for the Z6ii. I have only used the Z6ii but would not hesitate to get another Nikon when I get around to upgrading.

Z6 II (old Nikon DSLR lens) or Alpha 6700 (Sony)

The 18-55-lens is APS-C lens so using it would be significantly underutlizing the camera - no meaningful performance improvement on FF body like Z6ii. The longer zoom allows for larger light collection, but you'll lose a bit or "reach". Z6 ii is better camera in most ways apart from one: AF - the So

Is this an upgrade or a downgrade?

Yup, I miss my focus motor... Even though the SWM is faster and the new focus mechanism in the Z lenses is even faster than that. I'm amazed at how quickly my Z6II can focus with a modern lens on there, like the relatively cheap 28-70 f/4. (Also, the new Nikon 50mm f/1.4 is amazing, as is the Viltro

What is it with Nikon and Social Media

"But a wedding, god, it's been done for ages with manual focus." Did you just use my argument against yours, against yourself? Do you even read what people put in comments? You're really good at talking completely outside of the conversation. First of all, I never said or implied that it is impossib

Which body should i buy / upgrade to?

From that list, probably the z7ii or the z5ii. The mark ii models, excluding the z5ii, are decent upgrades from the originals. They include dual card slots, dual expeed 6 processors for better auto-focus and tracking, and a spec bump on somethings. The z7ii's 45 mp sensor puts out some nice images a

Nikon vs Fujifilm?

I’ve always had Nikon. Recently bought Fuji Xe-5 because I wanted a compact travel camera. Lens options for the Fuji X are terrific and it produced some amazing images. The film sim stuff is fun and great for convenience BUT For my use case (family, chasing a toddler) the Fuji just didn’t suit, and
