Which Nikon Z body is best for dog photography with strong AF tracking (without going to Z8/Z6III)?

Yes, the D850 is a DSLR and it’s expected to work well, but if you want to buy a Nikon Z and not regret the purchase in the long run, you should go for a model with the EXPEED 7 processor. Cameras with EXPEED 6 work well, but they lack many modes and features. The Z5II uses the same sensor as the Zf

Mirrorless D500

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

Explain Nikon hate pls

Anyone that says it must be just the algorithm is missing the point. Nikon was late to enter the mirrorless market, and their first cameras were not up to par with what other brands were offering, performance-wise. The first generation of Nikon mirrorless cameras back in 2019-2020 were the Z6, Z7, Z

Which Nikon Z body is best for dog photography with strong AF tracking (without going to Z8/Z6III)?

I have a Z7ii, Zf, and Z8 and I do a fair bit of dog photography. What kind of grip do you have? Does it have a thumb hook? I have the NEEWER CA-079 (not their CA-073 model), and it lets me use the Zf one-handed. The thumb grip makes a huge difference. Maybe try a better $30 grip before an expensive

Retired pro … returning to shooting. Absolutely hate the Z6ii mirrorless/EVF … How do I not sound like an old grumpy dude and get back to enjoying using these shitty cameras ?

I'd trade that z6-ii back in for a z6-iii or maybe even a z5-ii, why get back in the game with a camera that's only a few years after when you gave it up, instead of a current model? That said, if you hate mirrorless, just... don't get one? It's not like DSLR stopped existing. Heck, why even restric

What camera should I buy?

Skip the first gen Z6, the Z6II is a bare minimum. But if budget is tight, go for a D750 (FX) or D500 - but the D500 (DX) will tie you to crop lenses, while a full frame (FX) camera will give you the option to use the same lenses on mirrorless (if recent lenses) with the FTZ adapter. Using a Z6 pure

Is the Nikon Z6 the right camera for me?

Z6 is really old. Like, really old. If you are shooting video, you presumably want a good autofocus - I would advise saving up for a (much) more modern camera. Z6III is the latest and greatest hybrid Nikon camera with the latest AF tech, but it's way over your budget. Z6II is lagging significantly b

Official Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know! April 24, 2026

Hey, Looking for some advices about some gears. I do mostly photography while traveling. I used to have a Nikon D600 with a 24-85 3.5-5.6 lens that I loved but sold it a few years back. I wanted to get back into photography so I bought a used Nikon Z6 II with two lens : Tamron 16-30 f2.8 and a Nikon

Official Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know! April 03, 2026

Yeah, I suppose that may be a big factor to consider. Probably only have around $500-600 for an all-rounder zoom lens. I already have the Nikon 40mm f2 as a good prime. I know the Z50ii has much better AF. Wondering if the image quality of a full frame like the Z6ii or A7ii is worth a slower AF.

Seeking community advice: to FX or to not FX

Switching to fx is fine as long as you afford... But option should be Z5ii if only doing travel photos or videos .. Heck even z50ii will serve you better in terms of quality of things improvement over Z6ii due to expeed 7.... I would say Z5ii or Z50ii with full frame lenses so that you can jump ship
