Just how bad is the Z7II's autofocus?

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

Is going from a Z7 to a D850 a downgrade, an upgrade, or a side grade?

I'm a professional and owned both. The image quality is near identical... They produce incredibly similar files. The D850 is a much more agile, and responsive camera though. It has way better AF and a faster drive. That comes with a huge weight penalty though. The Z7 is probably in the discussion fo

What is it with Nikon and Social Media

If you're a landscape photographer, sure. But as a wedding or event photographer, the Z6 was completely underwhelming and literally generations behind the competition.. Tracking was rudimentary. AF could not keep up with moving subjects, especially in low light. It didn't even have eye detection out

Sold all my f mount gear

To be fair as far as I can tell the z8 and z9 are the only z-series cameras that seem like an upgrade from a D850 for photography, especially if you really know how to use the D850 and aren’t considering the advantages of the Z lenses. Even then, at the end of the day if you use all three to the max

Z6iii versus Z6ii

As someone who owns both a Z6ii and a Z6iii the Z6iii is superior in every way. Z6iii Autofocus is Leagues better than the Z6ii Z6ii needs a $200 paid firmware update and to be sent to Nikon to unlock video feature that don't even scratch the surface of what the Z6iii can record also to take advanta

Z6 vs Z6ii

Honestly I wouldnt recommend either for professional event shooting especially wedding photography. They're both fine for hobbyist, product, and portrait photography Definitely not the Z6 due to only having a card single slot It's possible to do but I would not trust the autofocus on that level Z6ii

Anyone return to DSLR after using mirrorless?

In 2019 I rented a Z7 for a trip to Ireland to try along with my D850. My impression of the Z7 was “meh”. Image quality was good but ergonomics and especially battery life were definitely unimpressive. I returned the rental and didn’t even consider mirrorless for a while after that. Sometime around

Z50 for 730$ or D700 for 300$, or something else as first macro camera?

The D700 is no slouch and known as "The Legend" for a reason, colors and contrast are great. Snag it and that macro lens, I swear you will be happy with it's output. Nikon D700 (The Legend) Images Compared to Nikon Z6ii (Not Yet a Legend)

I cant focus im loosing my mind

I used to own the z6ii. it worked phenomenally on bright sunny days. When it was cloudy or low light conditions, it struggled with AF. All my photos from a trip where it was cloudy or dark like in a restaurant were slightly out of focus. All the brightly lit photos were tack sharp. I thought it was
