Z 6II

"....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

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

The X-Pro2 is one of my "special" cameras. Most cameras, I could use them and love them, but if you present me the upgraded model, I probably wouldn't have any problems when it comes to switching to the newer model. Like, I used to use an X-T2 + X-H1 for event photography. Change them for an X-T3 +

I'm going to go against the grain here, I really think the Z6ii is the better choice here. If you're a total beginner, the Z6ii is going to give you so much that your phone can't, and the $400 that you'll save can buy you a 50mm f1.8 S lens off the used market, which is an absolutely incredible lens

High-end crop sensor, i.e. north of $2,000 USD, is a hard sell. Even Fujifilm, the most successful crop sensor vendor, couldn't move X-H2 and X-H2S bodies when all of their other cameras were regularly out of stock. I also think Nikon was pretty successful in moving their higher-end DX DSLR customer

"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

A lot of the recommendations will come down to budget and what you already have! Do you currently have a camera, if so what is it? What is your budget? Edit: I took a look through your profile and looks like you have a Z6iii, which is great! You have a couple of options for lenses based on your budg

Well the Z5II is not really overkill if you can afford it. Having said that I would highly recommend getting a book about using the Z5II. Something like the "Nikon Z5ii for Dummies" . It will be a big help. Also, since getting great lenses is most important in my opinion . You might think about back

I had the same with one of my Z6III's and my Viltrox 35/F1.2: all settings equal, but closing down the aperture... it resulted in the camera thinking you're closing down the aperture, but you actually don't. Result = overexposure. When I looked at the iris, it seemed to be closing ... slowly... like

There is no important downside moving to the 24-120 f4s except price, even more if you are considering the heavier hi-performance Z8 . For a normal zoom with wider range, it is still the top choice. If you go Tamron, the 35-150 f2-2.8 is well regarded but it is big and heavy. It won't be fun to carr
