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

Third party batteries

I mostly use K&F batteries for my z6ii because you can get them with an integrated usb-c port for direct charging. No need to pack the bulky nikon-charger anymore.

Those who've switched DSLR to mirrorless....

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

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.

Z50ii vs Z5ii

No, in normal shooting cases in good lighting with people who know how to use the cameras, you won't be able to know which shots are from either sensor without looking for clues, like resolution, EXIF data etc. Some here will violently disagree with that statement and some "professionals" will tell

Nikon Z6II or canon?

Also if it's in your budget, get the Nikon Z5II, it's newer than the Z6II and performs much better

Switched from Nikon Z FF to OM-1 MK2 a couple weeks ago!

I did the same exact thing. I was a Nikon boy for over 8 years and was always curious about OM. I switched to the OM-1 Mark II back in October and never touched my Nikon stuff again. I sold my Z6ii and lenses after. The OM-1 made my Z feel like an antique with how much tech the OM-1 has. Of course t

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

Passing the torch Z6 -> Z6iii

My Z6 is ironically pretty much a dedicated video camera now, in a rig. Because even though its internal video can't keep up, its 10-bit UHD output for Prores 422 recording is great. And I've set it up to be easy to grab out of its rig when I want to use it as just a normal camera again. And ironica
